In a corner of Hackney where pool tables and a giant TV are still a prerequisite for survival, the former Sussex Arms was smartened up to good effect a few years ago. The new owners tore out the carpets and scrapped some of the scruffier furniture; however, despite the more aspirational nature of the clientele, it still feels like an old-fashioned pub.

There are ales (Truman's Runner, Brewer's Gold IPA) for around three quid a pint; a brief but thoughtful wine list; and good, fairly priced British food, stretching from gastropubby mains to epic, softball-sized scotch eggs. If the pub has a problem, it's size: it has more space than it needs, and the room can feel a little empty on quieter nights. But that's a small quibble with a very likeable enterprise.
