The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Lordship Hackney London

Lunch with friends at TheClarence - a joyful occasion. Fab assotrment of starters which we shared - all were excellent. Two of us had mutton as a main course (perfect) and two had skate wing....wonderful. Ate on the terrace, were looked after well........what more could one ask for?!

Lovely food, lovely staff, sad to see a few bad reviews are clearly reducing the number of people going here. I never usually write reviews but looked this one up as I wondered why the cafe wasn't very busy on a Saturday lunchtime. Hope they get busier again!

Do not go to this cafe. The manager was awful. The staff are rude. I have been drinking 'vegan' hot chocolate here for months. I ordered one at the counter as normal ... 'one vegan hot chocolate please' ... I was told that they didn't have a vegan version - and never had. I told the manager as this is not acceptable and is also very problematic for people who are actually ordering vegan options due to lactose intolerance ... I was after nothing more than an apology and making them aware. He told me it was my fault for not checking and asking properly. WHAT!!!?? He embarrassed me in front of other customers in the queue and shouted at my boyfriend for no reason. Will never go back here again! There is a lovely independent cafe with friendly staff and beautiful pastries across the road and a few doors up - highly recommend spending your money there instead (also they also unndersatnd the importance of food allergies and veganism).
