The team behind Anchor & Hope, the Waterloo gastropub that quietly set the template for London pub dining, brought this Victorian corner pub to Stoke Newington Church Street. Original panelling meets brick, the doors fold out onto a courtyard, and the kitchen sends out boldly flavoured, generously portioned food, the kind of cooking that makes a shared pie feel like the obvious choice. The deli near the exit is easy to miss and worth not missing.

How we scoreThe dishes from the writeups

Chicken, leek and bacon pie
“Many of the boldly flavoured dishes come from the pub classics school – like chicken, leek and bacon pie to share – and arrive in pleasingly gutsy portions.”
Michelin Guide -
Slow-cooked lamb
“Among the mains you may find skate, spiced brown shrimp and samphire, guinea fowl ragu with fried polenta, cavalo nero and parmesan or slow-cooked lamb to share between two or three.”
