"The Knave of Clubs is a pub that’s been created by someone who understands that pints warrant carbs and salty, pickled, meaty bits. A big, gold-etched space on a corner of Bethnal Green Road, this gastro-boozer is somewhere you’ll struggle to leave after taking down a rotisserie chicken. There are other smartened-up pub classics, like a prawn scotch egg with chilli jam or dinky venison sausage rolls, and whether you intend to come for a single perfectly poured Guinness or not, you’ll stay for longer." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, daisy meager
