Best Gastro Pubs in Hackney

We visited Saturday night and had the tasting menu for two. The food was incredible and was totally worth the money. The staff were great and the restaurant was lovely. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Such a good time here, would recommend! Perfect for a celebration or group get together as it’s lively and a great vibe to continue on the evening. Food was lovely - it’s a mix between great quality food /small plates, and a pub/cocktail bar with fun music. Staff were super helpful and friendly.

Been 3 times and each time has been great. Will be back AGAIN!

My wife and I turned up at The Talbot on a very hot day about quarter of an hour before it was scheduled to open, at noon. A staff member kindly showed us to an outside table in a shaded position and suggested we sat there until opening time. A little later he also very kindly brought us a glass of tap water each to drink while we waited. We had booked to eat lunch at noon and very much enjoyed the two plates of Greek salad we had ordered. The salads were excellent, and ample. We ate them with sourdough bread, which was also excellent. As The Talbot filled up we enjoyed seeing the other guests receiving friendly welcomes similar to the greeting we had been given.

Great attentive staff. Good quality pub grub!!!!!!
