Blondies Brewery - Review - Leyton - London - The Infatuation

"If you ever had a phase as a teenager that caused your parents to place a ban on budget black hair dye from the family bathroom, chances are you’ll be very into Blondies Brewery. It’s Leyton’s very own micro-slice of Reading Festival, only much more ‘night one sun worship and beer-soaked bonding sessions’ than ‘Sunday night arsonist apocalypse’. Inside, there’s a deceptively large, industrial-feel beer hall set for gigs or a flirt-coded game of pool, but really you want to be sat outside on the long picnic benches with soft emo anthems playing, a group that keeps on growing, and pints of local lager that don’t stop flowing. The outdoor terrace also has a pizzeria hut that’s less urgent stomach-liner and more must-order margherita situation, so purposefully rock up hungry and ready to order. Food Rundown The food at Blondies Brewery is by Scando’s Pizzeria, their on-site pizza hut. The Spicy Burrata Garlic Knots A hot highlight for anyone whose favourite cuisine is ‘bread and dippy bits’. It’s effectively a deconstructed pizza, complete with a sweet kiss of honey and the kind of potent garlic levels we always approve of. photo credit: Heidi Lauth Beasley Margherita Oh ye of little brewery food faith. That’s what we said to ourselves during our first bite of this expertly chewy, zingy San Marzano tomato sauce pizza. The pots of tear-your-own basil on every table is also a very casual way to make us fall in love big time. photo credit: Heidi Lauth Beasley" - Heidi Lauth Beasley
