Good food and drinks. Friendly staff. Pool table needs a little maintenance.

Excellent food and excellent service. The Pembury Tavern is also run by a really good couple who seem keen to make it a friendly and welcoming place. They're doing a splendid job as this doesn't feel like a Hackney boozer at all. If you want somewhere genuinely nice to go then try out the Pembury Tavern.

The Pembury is very disappointing. This place advertises that is is child-friendly and it is definitely not. It's smoke free, quiet, spacious which is all great! But the manager does not appear to like kids at all, asking us within 10 minutes of arrival to control our kids. These kids were simply laughing with delight to have met their friends.


But to top it all off he got huffy at us for our small baby starting to fuss. The baby cried for no more than 30 seconds and he was staring us down again. We felt most unwelcome. Further more, the food was overpriced, cold and rubbish. Avoid The Pembury.
