A beautifully restored, lively East End boozer serving elite-level snacks and exceptional rotisserie chicken in a highly convivial atmosphere.
Ordering Strategy
It is walk-ins only, so grab a spot at one of the communal tables or a tucked-away nook and order at the bar. Get a few snacks to share with your pints, then split the whole rotisserie chicken for the main event.
What to order
Prawn Scotch Egg
Described as a 'genius choice' and a 'contender for Scotch egg of the year,' this seafood twist on the pub classic features a sweet chilli jam that perfectly complements the prawn.
Whole Rotisserie Chicken
Called the 'best pub roast chicken' in recent memory, these birds are sourced from Turner & George and brined for maximum tenderness. It comes with 'extremely crispy chicken-fat potatoes' that critics suggest ordering an extra side of.
The Knave Fried Chicken
While the rotisserie is the focus, these 'incredibly crispy' chicken snacks are considered essential. One reviewer insists: 'Do not leave the pub without ordering them.'
Chocolate Mousse with Chantilly & Cherry
The only dessert on the menu, but it makes a statement; it is described simply as a 'very, very good' way to end the meal.
