Newington Green

It's swapping London Fields for Newington Green Matthew Scott and Charlie Carr have just about vacated the London Fields site that used to house their cult spot Papi but they're already onto their next venture; a pub in Newington Green. The Golden Tooth, opening on the former site of the Leconfield, will see the gastro pub concept get Papi-fied, red loos and all. The space will be split in two - a pub serving more casual bar snacks and oysters shucked to order, and a 55-cover restaurant showcasing Matthew's playful, produce-led and sustainable cooking. Expect snacks like currywurst with fried ox tongue; Bedfordshire clanger with Thai-style gooseberry jam; and mussels toast with house lardo in the front bar, with the dining room serving dishes such as: veal sweetbread saltimbocca Montgomery cheese puffs with sun gold tomato ketchup steak tartate with lacto cep & mushroom crackers turbot tranche with raw crème fraiche and grilled peas Old Spot pork chop with quince kid goat chop with ezme salad Arctic roll with sour cherry jelly & ice cream steamed quince pudding & crème fraiche Charlie, who founded Wingnut Wines in Netil Market, will be overseeing the wine and will be highlighting micro producers, low-intervention bottles and homegrown English talent on the list. The selection will be evolving weekly to keep it fresh, with sustainable keg and bib wines on offer at £7 a glass. As it's a pub, The Golden Tooth will also be pouring a large range of ciders, beers and spirits, many of which will be made by English producers. Speaking about the opening, Matthew said: "My journey started in East End pubs hosting kitchen residencies with Hot 4 U, so to now be returning feels like a full circle moment and one where we can finally reach our potential. Our food offering is bold, generous and rooted in closed-loop cooking and sustainability, with in-house butchery at the core. We want to honour the pub itself - a real public house steeped in history - dog-friendly, Guinness on tap, the best roasts and most importantly, a place for the community. It will be the same Papi spirit, just sharper, more considered, and with the full autonomy it deserves." Once open, you'll be able to drop by for drinks seven nights a week, with food being served Wednesday to Sunday nights, plus lunch Friday to Sunday - and yes that includes roasts.
