Good ambience pub with variety of food option. Overall food presentation and taste are good especially love the scotch eggs, deep fried squid and the chicken liver pate. The dirty hot wings a bit over cooked so missing the chewy texture of meat. The wellington beef was beautifully cooked/ presented, only drawback is the pastry seems a bit too dry and not enough puffy .
Staff are friendly and service is good. We went there on Sunday around 12pm. People come thereafter and was very crowded when we leave around 2pm. Advance booking on weekend suggested. They offer also Sunday roast which looks very attractive. Relax environment good for hang out with friends !
Great casual gastropub - recommend the scotch egg and beef wellington (comes nicely with chips, gravy and bacon-topped veg). Decent beer selection, great service at bar and table, plus nicely close to Victoria Park. Cool London maps in the bathroom too!
Visited the Hemingway for their Sunday roast the other day. Food was good, the outdoor eating areas were cute, but the service really tied everything together for me. Exceptional!
An amazing pub with fantastic food. Portions are generous, and tasty.
Bookings are a must on weekends, as the pub becomes very full. But is both dog and child friendly.
A good range of vegetation pub options. Don't miss out on the deserts.
Lovely Sunday roast here with attentive staff. Can’t go wrong at all, food and service were all great. Thank you!
We came on a sunny Sunday and it was quite busy. Great atmosphere and good service given how busy it was. We had the cheese board which was lovely !
Our very favourite spot for a Sunday Roast! Food is delicious and service is fast, friendly team. Make sure you book a table as they are usually quite busy ;)

I'll get my one tiny negative out the way - please get better craft and cask beer on? You have some amazing breweries nearby (Old Street & Howling Hops to name 2) please please get some proper craft or cask ales - not just Doom Bar (owned by Molson Coors) and Beavertown (Owned by Heineken) these aren't craft.
Anyway, aside from that minor detail this place is fantastic!
Friendly staff, talkative and relaxed but very efficient and professional.
The Beef Wellington was absolutely amazing, me and my mate ordered one each - they are meant for 2 people however we both hadn't eaten all day in anticipation of this meal and we both cleared our plates.
The fillet of beef was tender and served medium-rare, it was seasoned very well and as Ramsay would say, it was 'beautiful'. The beef basically melted in your mouth. The duxelle was free of water and the deep earthy taste from the mushrooms was top notch. The puff party was cooked well being light and crispy.
This was served with a side of beans, stem brocoli and cabbage all again, well seasoned and cooked just right with only a slight crunch. Lovely. This came with a gravy boat.
A further side of triple cooked hand made chips was also served, these were also lovely and fluffy with a crunchy skin.
We shared a bottle of red with this and it paired with the meal perfectly
In Central London you'd pay over £70 just for the Wellington alone. This pub, being quiet and sofisticated yet laid back with some awesome music (most of which I noted featured in the The Inbetweeners as a coincidence, which was a fun twist) meant for me we had good value for money too, considering the rising costs of ingredients such as the fillet.
Would certainly return for another Beef Wellington and a bottle.
Hats off to the chef and the barman for a top afternoon!
On vacation from NYC and decided to try beef Wellington and scotch egg for the first time but didn’t want the hefty price. I was pleasantly surprised at how good the scotch egg was. The beef Wellington was delicious. The jus was incredible. We also had the sticky toffee pudding and it was divine! I must admit that I came with low expectations for the British food but wow! This was soooo good! I am truly humbled. Highly recommend!
We visited for Sunday lunch (would recommend booking in advance), it was suuuuuuper busy which meant even on a small table we were fighting to hear each other. All staff seemed to be rushed off their feet, but everyone we spoke to was helpful and pleasant, if not super present . I had a veggie roast, and it was better than alot of other places I've had a veggie roast, but didn't quite hit the mark. The 'veggie' bit didn't really fit with the rest of the plate and was lacking gravy. I think it's a lovely pub, but maybe best not to visit at a super peak time!
Nice atmosphere. The food was lovely & beef Wellington was outstanding 👍 Our favourite pub in the area! Children friendly ❤️
Been here a few of times and the food it bang on - great roasts, loads of flavours and top desserts. Lively but chilled atmosphere as well and some disturbing taxidermy on the wall which is always good. Kid friendly or trying their best to be kid friendly, the place is usually so busy, you just have to squeeze the buggy, etc in where ever theres a gap, and make sure your toddler drink someone’s drink
