I’ve lived in Hackney for decades and this was my first visit to the Kenton, prompted by a tweet extolling how good their Sunday roasts are.
I had one. It was ace.
The staff here were very friendly, even the Chef, who may have spat feathers over my ask about non-roast options . The roasts are massive, but manageable with an appetite and a beer. Here ,Trumans’s Zephyr helped me wash down the food.
Great ambience and a superb choice of music , too.
I will be back.
This is a classic pub sat in the head of E9. The snug at the rear of the place is class. Battered furniture a roaring fire and a classic selection of music. A great place for an afternoon session.
Very quirky little pub. Lager was perfect and the staff friendly. Strangely (for me) I had a veggie burger too. And it was delicious. Good pub.
Very welcoming, lovely Sunday dinner served by great staff! Would definitely recommend to friends xx
My group and I got looked after very well by The Kenton and its staff and I'm finally leaving a review as a thank you.
We arrived late on Sunday evening requesting 8 roasts, and the kitchen and bar staff kindly accommodated us with fantastic food, engaging service, and a relaxed atmosphere that made it difficult to pick ourselves off the couch to head home at the end of the night.
Will definitely return for the lamb. Thank you, Maddie.
One of the nicest pubs I came across on my last visit to london. A great staff that made you you feel like one of the locals from the get go. An excellent outside area for sunny days. Great food and top notch beer. Can't wait to get back to the Kenton!
It's decorated in a wonderful eclectic manner, just how you want your living room to look like. Great selection of beers and super friendly staff. Plus it's dog friendly and has a juke box with excellent music!
Worth toddling in for a few and a bite wether you're in the area or not. Loved it. Second to none
Il Più bello e confortevole pub di Londra. Il personale saprà accogliervi e farvi sentire come a casa. Ottomana birra e la musica . Anche il cibo è fantastico soprattutto il Norvegian meatball assolutamente da provare
It’s only my favourite pub in the world.
What a pub...Everything about it is great.
The best pub in Hackney, if not further. Best atmosphere and the friendliest staff. Food is great too.
Just popped in for quick lunch (lamb & pea ravioli) absolutely stunning food. Glad you guys are now open for lunch every day
10/10 pub. lovely guinness, great outside area for watching the football!
The pub has the best music. I suspect it's a direct result of bartender Morgan's effortless style.
Nice place! Unfortunately no food is available and you can pay only with card.
Quite charming vibes
I was pleasantly surprised by this quirky pub. The food looked good and we ordered some dumplings to go with our drinks. Tasty as they were, I do find the price are on the high side.
I would like to comeback to try the Sunday lunch another time, seeing it has some good reviews.
Quirky pub. Great beer selection and nice staff. I will definitely be back.
Lovely place. Loved the outside, inside and the roast. The staff is super friendly and this is def a place to return to.
Great atmosphere in the evening on Saturday when I visited with friendly staff, and a relaxed chilled evening with good music and many people dancing, and generally having a good time.
Great local pub, managed so well, ambience & atmosphere creates a packed pub every friday, saturday night & every sunday afternoon, always a great mix of regular customers...
Place is nice enough. Refused to put football commentary in the main bar. Despite everyone being in there wanting to watch the game.
A really fantastic roast. The veg sides have changed in subtle ways over the years but they're always interesting and varied. The roasts themselves are also lovely, but it's their veg, roasties and Yorkshires that make it my one of my favourite roasts in London. Super dog friendly as well!
