Atmosphere & Decor
Pros:
"Very pleasant pub at the top of Broadway Market."
"Beautiful pub in the heart of Hackney/London Fields, great decor, great atmosphere and the Sunday roast... OMG! Best I've had in a while!"
"Trendy atmosphere but very relaxed at the same time."
"Essential drinking spot on one of the best streets in London. Go upstairs for a cosier feel and legendary furniture."
"The atmosphere in the pub is pretty good. Nice people great ambience."
"An extremely nice pub. The decor is olde, woody, cosy and looks like a proper pub."
"A lovely pub, we sat upstairs and the place has a great atmosphere."
Cons:
"Wouldn’t go out of your way to visit this one!"
"For better or for worse a bit of an East London institution. Always packed with brogue wearing trendy types and rich but clueless scene chasers and city boys."
"Meh. I have to say that I agree with other reviewers - this place has become too scenester for it's own good."
"The most trendy of hipster hangouts."
"Packed with the kind of self congratulatory people it’s fun to mock for 20 minutes and awful thereafter."
"Doesn't have the best atmosphere and doesn't feel like a comfy spot that you can really spend a whole day in."
"The smell of toilets all over the pub was unbearable."
Service
Pros:
"The staff was very patient too, they had many other big group to look after, and yet they were quick to respond to us."
"Staff were friendly."
"Really lovely staff and a very delicious Sunday roast and dessert!"
"Staff are lovely and chatty when it’s not so busy at the bar and the table service is spot on."
"Staff were incredible, super helpful and always with a smile!"
"Service was excellent, would definitely recommend!"
"Friendly and efficient service despite it being rammed on the hottest day of the year so far."
Cons:
"The majority of the staff were pretty frosty and unfriendly, with a couple of exceptions who were kind and polite."
"Ignored by staff when stood at the bar to order drinks."
"The waitress on the other hand was terrible. She didnt engage at all and was happier gossiping behind the bar than doing her job properly."
"I walked to the bar and the 5 staff where all checking their phones and did not want to take my order."
"Service was terrible. We had to wait for ages for our meal."
"Service can be frustratingly slow at times."
"Getting the attention of the bar staff wasn't easy."
Food & Drink
Pros:
"Surprisingly the price of drinks were less than I expected."
"Great selection on ales and lagers including craft."
"The roasts do not disappoint!"
"Decent burger and a lovely refreshing pint of shandy."
"The food was delicious, a perfect Sunday roast and the pigs and blankets were great."
"Good selection of craft beers."
"The main bar has a good selection of beers and serves good wholesome pub food."
Cons:
"Got charged £25 for three and a half fairly ordinary pints."
"The food was a bit disappointing, though: I ordered the minted leg of lamb, and although well cooked the quality of the meat was appalling."
"Overpriced & unfriendly, and clearly gets enough passing trade that they don't need customer loyalty."
"The roast is.. unfortunately disappointing. Roast potatoes and Yorkshire puddings were obviously from frozen."
"Mediocre food and massively overpriced."
"Sunday roast was unimpressive, with potatoes too hard, & scraps of badly cooked veg."
"Tiny portion of beef hidden inside a Yorkshire pudding, anaemic looking veg and watery gravy."
Management & Policies
Pros:
"Had my birthday party at the C&M yesterday - Christian did an amazing job hosting 22 of us."
"Andrea - the general manager, Anna & Sam were all very friendly, charming, welcoming and professional."
"Recently under new management and the place looks brilliant."
"Organised a large group booking for a birthday party... staff were very friendly and accommodating."
