Three Crowns, Stoke Newington, N16

This is a very food orientated pub with very high prices, but it was very busy with diners on Saturday afternoon so the management must have done some research to see exactly how much could be squeezed out of people in the area. To be fair the food did look good, but I just hope that the table service was better than the bar service as I had to wait an age to be served as the two staff struggled with taking food orders and making cups of tea. Along with some premium lagers there are three hand pumps on the bar which were drawing Youngs Ordinary, Harveys Best and some well kept Landlord. The pub is split into three sections with a goldfish bowl seating area at the front of the pub where all of the tables were set for dining. The bar is located in the centre of the pub and a raised area with some armchairs and more seating is found at the rear. Unsurprisingly there are no TV screens and I cannot recall any background music. I don’t plan to visit here again as this is a food led pub that charges so much that another fifty pence would buy a decent meal in a good restaurant.
