The Clapton Hart

Went for Lunch, the menu looked nice and I ordered the Sunday roast over the gnocchi. Sadly a mistake.

The roast was terribly dry. For £15 the portions looked great however the chicken and potatoes tasted old. Creamed leeks cold and foul.
Red cabbage dressed with balsamic ok and maple roasted parsnips and carrots not bad.

A pint of Rosie’s Pig strawberry cider saved the very average meal. Highly recommended if you enjoy sweet beverages.

Otherwise my friend enjoyed her vegan roast and sticky toffee pudding.
And there is an area where you can enjoy your meal where it’s dog friendly (although this is the dingy dark side of the pub)
The rest of the pub has a traditional pub vibe and the well-lit rooms looked inviting as well as a pool table at the front that looked enjoyable.

Disappointing about the roast lunch.

Great atmosphere! Almost a museum! Lovely staff, music and space to chill, eat, and play!
Amazing. Sunday Roasts! A must try! But make sure you go on empty stomach! They are huge 🥰🔥🥰 !

Spacious bar, with the “beer garden” in the back. Has a pay-to-play fussball and pool table
- Beer & bone marrow burger’s just a standard Pattie burger
- Chicken burger is better as it’s buttermilk fried

Staff are friendly and doing an amazing job considering how under staffed they are. Queue for the bar was snaking out the door most of Sunday afternoon - one, sometimes two, bar staff on. Felt really sorry for them. Food was absolutely awful. Worst Sunday roast ever - cold vegetables, overcooked meat, bland gravy, cauliflower cheese tasted off. No salt, pepper or condiments offered (horseradish, mint sauce etc). Beer selection is bland but some good wines to be fair. The crowd is nice and the staff are nice so fine for a casual boozer. Just don't order food under any circumstances.

Recently returned to the Clapton Hart. Unsure if under different management, or what, but the food, atmosphere and general "something" is much improved in the pub.

There are numerous pubs in local area, so very glad it's back as a recommended local.

Had their Sunday Roast recently with friends, and, it was excellent. Long may this new whatever reign 👌

The Y2K quiz night was a fantastic quiz night which I don’t think I’ve been to anything similar to it before.

I really enjoyed the atmosphere and how affordable the drinks were, a great combo for a successful quiz night!

For their first time, they did a great job and I would absolutely go to more. Really warm and light hearted, looking forward to what’s in store next time.

Thank you :)

I really liked The Clapton Hart. For a start, at £3.30 for a pint of bitter (and a good pint too) it's the cheapest pub in hackney I know. And it's a proper old style pub. Massive, with several rooms including comfy one off to the side. Pool table. Lovely.

Attended the 2000s/y2k pub quiz last night and was pleasantly surprised by how fun it was. The host was accommodating and it was nice to find a quiz that was geared towards queer people! Lovely atmosphere and I made new friends. Would go again
