Crooked Billet - (Near Hackney, london)

5 /5 Eesha: I came here the other week with my nan, the bartender Marnie was super helpful and accommodating to us. The food was delicious and my nan loved it, she was visiting me all the way from Lancashire and said she would love to come again. Absolutely wonderful service and very friendly staff, especially the friendly bartender Marnie. Marnie was very patient with my elderly nan and helped her over to the table and with the menu options as she has a gluten sensitivity :) 10/10 would recommend

5 /5 Dennis Bauszus: We had a really good time at a friends birthday party here. The Mac and Cheese is delicious, there are many of my favourite session ales on tap, and some excellent wines. Even some orange wine. The beer garden is huge and invites you to watch sports throughout the day. We will definitely come back soon.

5 /5 Elliott Kay: Had an incredible Sunday roast at this pub! The staff go above and beyond to make sure you enjoy your visit. Tara makes a mean Bloody Mary!! Will definitely be returning :))

5 /5 Raul: Brilliant boozer with lots of options on tap! Lots of local London beers and ales, plus a massive outdoor area!

1 /5 Alex Choi: AWFUL experience. We were a party of 8 (2 families) vacationing in London for the first time from America. Unfamiliar with local rules and not seeing anything visibly posted, we were unaware of not permitting anyone under the age of 18 after 7pm. We were simply looking for a dinner near where we were staying, and this establishment seemed nice. Immediately upon entering, we were essentially attacked verbally by the bartender….particularly our 16 year old son. Had there been a calm approach and explanation, we would have absolutely respected the establishment’s policies. Instead there was rash judgement bordering on the abusive and absolutely contrary to what you would expect from a service oriented business. In reading other reviews, there seems to be a pattern of rudeness and even racial profiling. Mind you, our family is of Asian descent. We never got to experience the food and drinks, which may have been great. If you’re looking for a great experience in all aspects and especially with the service, BEWARE of this establishment. We would not recommend it and there are plenty of other options locally, which, fortunately, we found. Even the owner’s response to a separate post involving the same situation shows a complete lack of empathy and compassion towards understanding a situation before commenting and engaging.
