Located in a really nice location in hackney, I went there for their AGM recently and tried a couple of beers and lentil pizza. Food and beers are good. Getting a table outdoors in summer might be hard.

Up near the bridges and next to a big carpark, many a yuppie, their dog and their young family attend this drinking hole for a weekend lunch. It serves pizza and although the bases are crisp Middle Eastern flatbread rather than your standard doughy base, the creative toppings make up for it. - Middle Eastern Lamb (tomato reduction base, mozzarella, fresh spinach, marinated lamb mince, parmesan, pine nuts, fresh chopped mint, chilli flakes) £12 - probably my favourite with good earthy flavours and textures roaming throughout;- Proscuitto & Rocket (mozzarella, oven semi-dried cherry tomatoes, parmesan, vincotto, proscuitto, rocket) £11 - perhaps a little less on the creative side for toppings but standard and good;- Kashmiri Dahl (mozzarella, fresh spinach, dahl, cumin, chilli flakes, crispy shallots, mango chutney, Greek yoghurt, fresh banana slices, fresh coriander) £12 - the weirdest and most creative pizza had a nice spiced element but I have to admit the sweet banana was a bit further along the strange spectrum on this pizza.

Crate is a quite unique place. Located in what i assume is an old industrial area, the place made me recall the days back when the production plant I used to work at as an QC engineer was being revamped, very reminiscent of those early days. The decoration is minimalistic, but enough to set the mood. The pizzas are really damn good. I had the middle eastern one, with lamb, and was fantastic. My girlfriend had the sage and trufles and I was very torn to pick which was the best. The dough is very light and thin, and they pack a nice flavour. Be aware that the place is busy, and at 2pm they had a full house and a very active bartender tending to dozens of people. If the weather is nice, try having lunch outside, wit a very tranquil site of the canal. The crate golden beer was a good complement to a nice pizza but not that exciting to be honest.
