Comfortable chair in the bedroom.
Tasteful bedroom details.
Down with this lampshade.
The rooftop greenhouse where the kitchen grows their own herbs and vegetables.
Breakfast spot on in the first floor dining room.
A booth in the dining room. Nice vibe.
Where the magic (sleeping / reading / looking at Instagram) happens.
The rooms have a separate entrance so you don’t have to go through the pub to get to them, if you don’t want to.
Bedroom setup includes a coffee machine.
View from the roof and classic London weather.
A photo I took of a photo of the downstairs bar on the pub website – because it is way better than the image I managed to get on my phone.
Highs & Lows
-
The pub's general vibe is really nice. It is warm, cozy, feels in-keeping with its neighborhood and very ‘London’.
-
The pub’s rooftop offers great views over East London and the greenhouse is a really nice touch. I saw on the pub’s website that they also occasionally do gardening courses up there.
-
We really enjoyed the food. It is generous with a lot of attention to detail. For example, at breakfast the coffee was by Allpress coffee and sausages from Ginger Pig, who are one of the best butchers in London.
-
We had to sleep with the window closed due to some lively things going on down in the street below, but that is often the case with city hotels.

Vibe
Cool country pub in the city.

Great location in East London. Near all of the action and several tube stops. Brick Lane, Spitalfields and Shoreditch High Street are a stones throw.

Five bedrooms, all en suite.
-

Good background pub music.
-
Year Opened
The bedrooms opened for bookings in April 2016.
-
Designed By
The bedrooms are furnished with the work of several local crafts people and artists. The curated book selection by local writer; ‘The Gentle Author’ is a nice touch.
-
Health & Wellness
No. It’s not that kind of place.
-
Restaurant
Yes, two. The ground floor pub restaurant and the first floor kitchen dining room, which is a little more formal than downstairs and has a daily changing menu. We ate in both and really enjoyed our meals, which were simple, contemporary British pub food made with quality produce from good suppliers. There is also a rooftop dining space and a working greenhouse where the chefs grow a lot of the salad, herbs and vegetables that they use in the kitchen.
-
Bar
Yes. It’s a pub so it would be a big missed opportunity if there wasn’t.
-
Minibar
No mini bar, but that’s probably because the room is above an actual very good bar. So you should be fine.
-
Children
We had friends with a new baby join us for lunch. All good.
-
Price
Very good value. From $120 a night including breakfast.
