The Empress - Tisch reservieren

I went there with my work colleagues. I made the reservation about 3 months in advance, not knowing that The Empress will have the frugal feast that night. That meant a closed menu of 3 courses for a fixed price. There was no allergen information on the printed menu and we had to rely on our server's giving us information on food. Apparently they make their foccacia with butter?! I find it unacceptable that a pub like The Empress, in Hackney did not bother to mark allergen information on their set menu for the day!

I often make reservations for the monthly Frugal Feasts at this restaurant, which always offer incredible value and delicious food (make sure to book early!).

There were plenty of menu options to please everyone, the food was excellent, the service was top-notch, and the atmosphere was fantastic.

This was supposed to be an enjoyable family meal but it was far from that.The girl serving was pleasant enough but didn’t have a clue.The pigs head croquettes at £9 was not a croquette at all but a single fried meat cake with tough dry meat inside.The flat iron steak at £24 was tough and tasteless and cold with a bland sauce which was a waste of time.This must be the worst place to eat in Bow Village and grossly overpriced.Avoid this establishment unless you just want a drink.

The pub itself is in a great location, not near a tube but didnt bother most of us. I invited a group of mates for lunch and it was great, from the welcome, the service and the food. Nice bright room, casual but professional. We had selection of starters then had our own mains, all cooked as they should! Good drink selection, local beers and some off piste wines too. Still the best pub in East London!

My negroni was delicious, but you could smell the downstairs gents loos while sitting at the bar upstairs.
