White Post Cafe, Hackney Wick, E9

Komakino . left this review about White Post Cafe

A swift walk from Hackney Wick Overground, this is located either through the narrow White Post Lane, or, as per below, via the canal path that separates this from Fish Island. A reclamation of an old industrial unit, this is rather sparse inside decor-wise, although some interior curios include Haynes manuals stacked up above the bar and another manual appropriated as a shelf. We encountered this before a West Ham match (the stadium is a mere 5 minute walk away) and the space was divided into two rooms - a bar area to the left and larger, open space to the right, which, on this occasion, had a large pull-down screen showing an early PL game. A narrow decking out front offers a view of the canal and new Fish Island apartments which have sprung up - match days also include the infamous Rib Man whose "Holy F**k" hot sauce isn't to be taken lightly. Beers appear to be all keg - a couple from Truman's as you'd expect included Pale Ale and a very good Roller IPA, which, despite being a fizzer, hit the spot.
