Crooked Billet on Upper Clapton Road is ran by the same peeps that own the Empress in Victoria Park Village, and are putting the emphasis on being a proper boozer. That’s right it is no gastro pub and has been given a face lift to look the part in trendy Clapton.

The Crooked Billet dished out proper pub grub and is a lot more simple than that of the Empress although Elliot will be overseeing the menu. Think burgers, shepherd’s pie, fish & chips, sausage & mash and big roasts on Sundays. We’re sold already. They will continue to source all their produce from the same suppliers as they use now; Ginger Pig, John Norris for fish, Climpson & sons for coffee, so you’re in safe hands. Out the back you will find a HUGE beer garden which just happens to be a bit of a sun trap, clever that. A seriously good pub!
