Visited this pub for the first time on Sunday. I can appreciate how difficult it is to run a pub during Corona but I felt as if the staff lacked any level of service. They couldn't even be nice to us on the most basic level. As soon as we walked into the pub the man I can only assume was the manager was snappy and rude to us without any cause as we had only been there for about 30 seconds.

My friend has a serious nut allergy and when we asked if there were nuts in the dish she wanted to order the manager snapped back that he "didn't know" and would not go clarify with the chef when we asked him to.

The food was very average and we had to wait nearly and hour for it as they had run out of potatoes. It was not worth the wait. They made us pay for the meal before we received our food and I suspect this was due to the fact they knew they could not deliver either on service or food quality.

I am not one to write negative reviews normally, especially in these tough times. Just felt like my friends birthday was ruined because of this pubs needless rudeness. There are a lot better pubs in Stoke Newington, would avoid this one if you can.
