It was a great couple of days tasting first the outdoor garden burgers (the fish burger is amazing) and then the restaurant for the Sunday roast. Best Sunday roast I’ve had in London so far. The pork was tender and it melt in my mouth and all the add ons were amazing and everything incredibly fresh. The service and atmosphere were amazing too.

A fantastic atmosphere for lunch on a lovely old barge on the canal at Hackney Wick. My family all had the roasts and they were plump with veg, gravy and meat. The red cabbage was extremely flavoursome. All came with a huge Yorkshire pudding. My criticism would be to crisp up the crackling on the pork better. The focaccia bread and smoked butter was superb. I also had 3 small plates which were very good, but I was slightly disappointed with the melon which lacked substance and wasn't presented well. My hubbies beer was very over priced for the size offered and wine by the glass was similarly priced expensively in my opinion. It's a rustic setting, so I would have expected better value on the drinks, and the food felt a bit pricy for the overall quality and style. In saying that, I would definitely like to return and try the Garden menu. Great vibe and friendly and helpful staff.
