The Spurstowe Arms, Hackney

I find the comment below most surprising. I eat in the Spurstowe occasionally and have always found the food to be excellent. It is obviously very high quality, and although a little on the pricey side, it is no more than you would expect to pay in a gastropub. Compare it to the Dove - which is over-priced and the food only average. And I have always found the staff to be very pleasant. This would definitely be my local if I lived closer.
