Inventive pizzas, craft beers, and DJ sets by the canal
"An old-timer in London’s brewery scene, Crate is where to go when you’re looking to sit beside the canal in the sun with a half pint of sour. The Hackney Wick warehouse is very much a spot and there’s a lot of room indoors and out that tends to fill up extremely quickly on sun-soaked days. FYI, there are half-decent pizzas that taste like the world's greatest pizza after sharing a jug of session IPA as well." - jake missing, sinead cranna, heidi lauth beasley
"At weekends, there are DJs spinning and a party feel at Crate Brewery. The canal-side spot in Hackney Wick is a longtime favourite for herds of friends needing somewhere comfortable and inoffensive for a few drinks and thin-crust sourdough pizzas. There are a load of house-brewed beers and ciders on tap and while it’s not the most groundbreaking place to eat and drink, it’s a big warehouse that’s tailor-made for even bigger groups." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing, sinead cranna
"Stripped of our Hinge dates and casual 4am drug habits, Londoners have started to crave nature. But this is London, so you know what, a canal will do. You’ll see some ducks, some pigeons, maybe even an Egyptian goose. Suck on that, responsible coupled-up friends who have partaken in the great exodus to countryside living. Jokes aside, Crate Brewery is one of those zero-pressure canal spots in Hackney Wick where you can have a casual pint and eat great pizza whilst the feelgood playlist keeps your spirits up. The best part is that if you start to feel a little overwhelmed by it all you can get your pizza and pints to go and find a quiet spot along the canal." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"If you’re after beer in a space that makes for a blank canvas, then Crate Brewery is the place to go. This warehouse in Hackney Wick chugs out Crate’s beers in a space built for big groups. Best of all is that they make some pretty decent stone-baked pizzas on site as well. What's more, you can very easily pitch up here, especially if the weather’s good, as there’s loads of outside seating along the canal." - heidi lauth beasley, jake missing
"If you’ve ever wandered along the canal in Hackney Wick, then you’ve probably wandered past, or more likely into, Crate. The big pizza-making brewery has a literal car park to spread out in. And if that doesn’t sound appealing, then you need to reassess your teenage years." - jake missing
