A
Anchor & Hope
The hope is that you’ll get a table without waiting hours because you can’t book at this quintessential gastropub, except for Sunday lunch at 2pm. The anchor is gutsy, unashamedly carnivorous British food. The critics love this place but, with dishes such as salt marsh lamb shoulder cooked for seven hours and soy-braised shin of beef, it’s decidedly not for vegetarians. Its sister-restaurant, Great Queen Street in Covent Garden, is smaller, does not have a pub and takes reservations (which are, in fact, essential).

Empress Of India
This exquisite, much welcomed pub conversion on the western edge of Victoria Park belts out excellent modern British cuisine, with such fine dishes as sorrel soup with Cheddar scone, saddle of venison and roast suckling pig. We love the elegant bar, the Raj-era murals on the wall, the chandeliers made of mussel shells and the seamless service. Breakfast is available daily from 08:30.

Brackenbury
The Brackenbury is very much a neighbourhood restaurant, with a friendly vibe and a relaxed atmosphere. Its modern European menu is enticing, with some imaginative starters and a good selection of wines at reasonable prices, ensuring the Brackenbury stands out from the many gastropubs in the immediate vicinity.

Princess
Meaty Mediterranean dishes and funky designer wallpaper are the order of the day at this Shoreditch gastropub in the tangle of lanes south of Old St. The restaurant is above the pub floor, reached via an old-fashioned spiral staircase.

Bumpkin
One of a string of funky gastropubs along Westbourne Park Rd, Bumpkin styles itself as a ‘country brasserie’, which translates to rotisserie chicken, grilled salmon, out-sized sirloin steaks and roasts.

Hartley
Fence-sitter of a pub/gastropub does rump steak burger and Sunday roast, as well as more fanciful dishes like rabbit leg confit.
