<![CDATA[Greater London - Hackney - Hackney - Reviews]]> http://www.welovelocal.com Reviews from welovelocal.com en Do not eat here- rancid and expensive! http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/hackney/hackney/pubs/spurstowe-arms-e81ab-1.html#r52819 I have just had the most DISGUSTING food I have ever experienced in a pub in the Spurstowe arms. I ordered the smoke Salmon and scrambled egg brunch and the salmon tasted like it had been sitting in a plastic bag and covered in oil for 2 weeks. It was rancid! The egg was not much better and a pitiful amount. My 5 friends all had the English breakfast and for 8.50 a go - one piece of scraggy bacon, a sausage, a burnt piece of toast and a tomato was certainly not worth the money! I will never, ever go back to this pub and I would not recommend it to anyone. Although the girls behind the bar were nice, the man (possibly the manager) was less than apologetic or helpful and sent us on our way when we complained about the salmon. DO NOT EAT HERE!!!!!

Their workmanship is excellent, their pricing highly competitve and their service first-rate. Perhaps above all, they are honest and trustworthy. They won't try to scam you or rip you off by claiming to do work that didn't need doing and will always offer the most cost-effective solution. I have always been 110% satisfied with any work they've carried out for me. If you're looking for a high quality, reliable, reasonably priced mechanic, you could do no better than Hackney Service Centre

But most of all very reasonable prices i've been going there for years and i dont even live in hackney any more .

]]> Mon, 23 Jun 2008 12:24:52 BST Pub on the park http://www.welovelocal.com/en/london/hackney/hackney/pubs/pub-on-the-park-e83pe.html#r43505 excellent atmosphere in the summer, put simply, nothing else in hackney is even on the same par. The rest stand to compare as the vulgar indoor limited vernacular. On a common, but it's not so common. A stones throw from an olympic outdoor heated pool, park for the kids adjacent, overlooking the last spacious green patch before the inner east closes in on itself into the city greys (apart from the world class splash of culture via the added diverse graffiti in the area also). Becoming more cosmopolitan, and welcoming to once w1 only dwellers with local gentrification limited to realistic practicalities. Top drama every time i visited furthermore as i learnt more and more about the novel capacity of the staff. A saucy south african girl, Helen, and the tall australian lad Richard, an ironic ex convict. Both there almost every day, working or drinking with the rest of us. Their private lives very widely discussed with suspense. I miss hearing AND experiencing the drama there literally. One of those places you have to go to more than once on tour for sure. Some really hate a crazy governor, but if you look past any offence, and open your self to the amusement, there's a sound laugh in his quite theatrical lack of patron concern.

I haven't eaten here for a log time so can't comment on the food. However, as place for a few beers after a kick about on London Fields it's ideal.
