Pub on the corner of Stoke Newington High Street and Stoke Newington Church Street, part of a small local chain. It seems to be aiming towards the gastropub/upmarket end of the scale; there's even a laid-tables dining section at the front which carries an auto-added 12.5% service charge.
We visited around 7pm on a Friday evening in September 2007; it was busy, but not so busy that we couldn't find a table. Rather too loud and too dark for Kake's taste (being a single enormous room), but some people like that sort of thing.
There was real ale, though, to make up for it; Cornish Knocker in our case (chosen entirely for the novelty of the name, but it was quite an acceptable pint). Harvey's Sussex Best Bitter was also on offer.
Nice big squashy sofas towards the back, too.
Food (photo of sample menu) is served in the dining area at noon3pm and 6pm10pm Monday to Friday; noon4pm and 6pm10pm Saturday; and noon4pm and 6pm9:30pm Sunday. A reduced menu (photo of sample menu) is served (at the same prices) in the bar area, noon10pm Monday to Saturday and 6pm9:30pm Sunday. Reservations can be made for the dining area.
