In the 2 or so years the revamped Pearl has been in Hackney Wick it's safe to say it's already a favourite among local residents. I've lived here for 11 years now and it's my first 'go-to' place for many reasons. It is situated on a street close to Hackney Wick station that is closed to any cars with plenty of outside tables and no direct noise from cars, great in summer and there are also shaded tables for those avoiding direct sunlight. They have a well chosen and regularly changing line up of beers on tap but also have an interesting selection of cans and bottles from around the world (they even have Tailgate Peanut Butter Milk Stout....Sounds weird but it's amazing!). The menu is well thought out and very well priced, I regularly pop in there for dinner on the way home from work as you're pretty much guaranteed to get something very tasty that doesn't break the bank. I occasionally bring friends and work colleagues there in the evening, sometimes without first having booked, and they will always try to fit small groups in even at this short notice, pretty impressive considering how popular it can get at times.

I honestly can't thank the Pearl and their amazing team enough for hosting my birthday party Saturday night!
The team made the party prep a dream and were superful helpful at every stage. Nothing was a problem and they were quick to communicate when needed. They even planned in-person meetings around my busy work schedule.
The night went super smoothly too. We turned up to a clean and well laid out venue. They even made me a personalised drink and sign which was such a lovely personal touch and much appreciated.
The bar team were simply fab.. fun and friendly. They even got up and danced with the band!
At the end of the evening when we were all slightly worse for wear they made the clean up so stress free.
If you're looking for a fun and friendly venue for your party you won't regret having it here for sure!
Thanks so...
Read moreWe arrived in this cafe that looked lovely, had tables outside and great vibes. We ordered our brunches ( Big Brekkie and avocado on toast ), and we've had to ask several times the staff to check on our food, because we were still waiting... for the third time we've asked, the lovely waitress just told us that they've lost our order... in total we've been waiting for more than an hour for nothing... No one really seemed to care that we were waiting all this time... the second time that we've asked the guy told us that our food was on the way, but they were busy... so we can see there was no communication as well between the staff. So if you have few hours to waste on your weekend, go there ! But if you wanna chill and have a great...
