I know we have a few shady chairs and had a few more drinks (beer and wee, that is not cocktailable) until the place closed and we were led (I remember pretty hard) out of his doors. the hunter s is not on the main strip, it is a side street, but I think it is worth the extra bit trip. the opposite also has the haggerston and the fox and an evening in all three...read more

The staff was exceptionally friendly and competent (especially the black top white waitress [of 1 September 2020] and made our anniversary dinner even more special than it already was.The atmosphere and decoration were absolutely magnificent.

And there are also some splendid photographs in high definition of the best parts of some of the best women in the bathroom. The best anniversary of my life.
