"If you’re planning to wander around Brick Lane, Spitalfields, and end up at Columbia Road Flower Market on a Sunday, then get organised and make a booking at the Marksman. It’s east London’s most popular gastropub, thanks in no small part to its delightful handheld beef and barley buns with horseradish cream. Their roast menu is a three-course affair both in the downstairs bar and upstairs dining room, and a whole roast chicken with anchovy salad rarely goes amiss. That said, if a pie is on, get it." - jake missing, rianne shlebak, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
