The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Lordship Hackney London

We visited the Clarence Tavern for a meal on a busy Saturday early evening. The menu is very tempting, with a selection of varied small plates and larger dishes and then a number of large sharing options. We decided to share everything and enjoyed a fabulous harissa beetroot starter and a buratta with peppers and chili honey. A plate of sourdough and good butter made an excellent start to the meal. For main we went for a pork chop and the roast mallard. The pork was cooked well and the white bean sauce it came in was delicious. The meat itself was not as flavorful as I might have liked. The mallard dish was excellent. We shared a very good plum and apple crumble for dessert (although I was sad that no custard was offered, only vanilla ice cream - got to have custard with a crumble!!) The wine list is superb and loads of choice by the glass. Cocktails looked great too. The atmosphere was warm and service was attentive, although the staff never lingered more than a second or two at the table, which was unusual! Overall, a really good gastropub.

La comida encantadora, el personal encantador, triste ver algunas malas críticas están claramente reduciendo el número de personas que van aquí. Nunca escribo reseñas, pero busqué esta ya que me preguntaba por qué el café no estaba muy ocupado un sábado a la hora de comer. ¡Espero que vuelvan a estar más ocupados!

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).
