A canalside taproom and pizzeria in a former Hackney Wick print works — one of the pioneers that helped make the area what it is. The formula is simple and well executed: house lager and a pizza, with a canal-side setting that sells itself, especially at sunset. Come on summer weekends and come early, because it gets rammed by mid-afternoon, and sit outside if the weather allows. The pizza is legit, the beer is crowd-friendly, and the spot beside the water is genuinely lovely. It is Hackney Wick's original draw, and still one of its most reliable pleasures.
