The Star By Hackney Downs - (Near Hackney, london)

5 /5 Jennifer C: One of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in london. Beef brisket £25 was smokey, incredibly tender. Pork £22 was also delicious although skin could be more crispy. Yorkshire pudding was also perfectly cooked and flavoursome. Veg and and gravy were great. Portions were good and felt very satisfied. Seating available inside and outside. Recommend booking on a Sunday lunchtime

4 /5 Nina Patel: I would rate this somewhere between 3.5-4 out of 5. Nice pub with good service and atmosphere. Came for the Sunday roast after seeing it top the latest Timeout hit list. Average - good roast, would recommend if I was in the area but definitely wouldn’t travel for. Wouldn’t recommend the cauliflower cheese. Good selection of meats, tried both the brisket and the beef.

5 /5 Luana Scrivano: The place looks run-down, but it contributes to the vintage vibes—a lovely, spacious venue. We celebrated a friends birthday in one of the rooms on the first floor. We had a bar up there with bottled beers and spirits (draughts and more options available at the bar downstairs). We had loads of fun and a lot to drink, and, to my surprise, the food was incredibly good! While my friends got burgers, I got the loaded beef brisket fries, which were divine! I definitely recommend it and dont miss the chance to taste the pub’s kitchen. The staff was friendly and welcoming. The bathrooms fairly clean.

5 /5 Mary D: Great Sunday lunch here in January. Perfectly cooked beef, really crispy potatoes and delicious veg. Plenty of gravy and a gigantic Yorkshire pudding. Service was excellent. Will definitely be back. Would have been nice to see a slightly more interesting selection of beer and wine but other than that it was perfect. Roast beef around £21 plus drinks and extras. Worth contacting directly for info on wheelchair accessibility which may well be possible and tables well spaced. Calm buzzy atmosphere.
