Pub On The Park

Hackney, London

This buzzing boozer (My british slang is improving) close to London Fields station really draws the crowds in summer. Most of that's down to a spacious outdoor terrace snaking around two sides of the roomy pub, with the green of London Fields itself within pint-tossing distance.

There's a solid selection of ales on pull pump, with regularly changing drops from brewers such as Darkstar, Caledonian, Sambrook's, Redemption and Five Points Brewing Co., just down the road. A short wine list also features, alongside seasonal stuff - jugs of Pimm's do brisk business in the summer. 

Projector screens outside and decent-size TVs inside show the big sports events, with numerous games shown when the need arises. And if watching gives you the urge to partake? There's a floodlit boules court right next door. Honestly.  

Calamari Calamari

Expect a menu big on British produce, with dishes including Cornish mackerel with a gooseberry compôte, and marsh-fed lamb cutlets with smoked cauliflower, confit garlic jus and rainbow chard (none of which i tried LOL). We setlled for the simple charcuterie board and calamari with thai chili sauce.
