Randomness Guide to London Menu

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; it was busy, but not so busy that we couldn't find a table. Rather too loud and too dark for Kake's taste, 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). I believe I remember also seeing Harvey's Sussex Bitter, and at least one other pump.

Nice big squashy sofas towards the back, too.
