went to the Rose and Crown on Sunday for their Sunday roast - wasn't very good tbh - and a tenner
The Eagle in City Road does a splendid Sunday lunch (roast and mash, 2 or 3 veg, home made Yorkshire puds, generous portion of meat, liberal gravy) for £8.90 but, er, I think that might just be just outside Hackney by a whisker.

shut it you egg!
shame. i popped in for a couple last night, they had more ales available now (altho they still sell pedigree for some reason) including a nice drop of wherry, but prices up to £3 a pint and bar snacks from £3-£5 which was quite a rise. not very busy either.went to the Rose and Crown on Sunday for their Sunday roast - wasn't very good tbh - and a tenner

One on one? You're crazy.
i had some wherry yesterday, lovely pint, seem to be loads of staff there, it was busy on Sunday lunch-time, but they'll need to do better roasts to get me back there eating
might have the odd beer there though

"The Shop" on Chatsworth Road
Does anybody have any idea what this place is all about?

The window display seems to have changed since they took this picture - but there is still a placard in the window which says "Monday - Sunday: CLOSED"

I have seen it, no idea what it is, down the hill on the same side of the road is another strange place, it has a load of faded 80s magazines in the doorway, and a display of massive packets of wrigleys chewing gum in the shop window. It has been like that for several years

true, there is the french deli, and the coffee shop opposite, I like them both tbf, it hasn't changed that much over the 10 or so years I have been going there, there is a brilliant grocers, that has been there for years, just down the hill from the deli
braindancer
not for long
But it might change with the plans to introduce a new weekly market? We had a questionnaire about our views on the days on which the market should run... the stuff we would like stalls to sell etc.

Have you ever seen anyone, apart from blokes in army clothes, in the army recruitment shop in Kingsland shopping centre?
It just seems to be army people stood around chatting. Hope it closes soon.
No, I've not seen anyone in there either.
I wouldn't have thought it was a particularly good place to recruit
but you never know.

One on one? You're crazy.
I heard about that - I'd like a market there, as long as it isn't an attempt to replicate broadway market, which I do go to sometimes I admit, I'm sure the grocer's can handle the competition, they seem to have a lot of loyal customers, and the market would not run all week would it?

drove down Hackney Road on Sunday, noticed that they were demolishing a pub
That one up the Shoreditch end? That's been derelict all the time I've lived in that manor.

yep, just before you get to the Axe, i think it's called, which is a nice old victorian pub, but is now a "gentleman's club"
Paulie Tandoori
shut it you egg!
the flying scud was closed following a shooting incident iirc. can't remember the particulars but it never re-opened.
ye olde axe is an "exocet pub" (at least according to a chalk board i saw outside once
) - we walked in there once on a saturday night by mistake and almost every bloke in there turned and stared at us, rather than the scantily clad young ladies who were cavorting. we made a hasty exit, sans drink.....

i went there once on a stag
, the stag had been free of strip club antics until about 11, when i thought we might be winding down, we'd been to newmarket to watch the nags 
(did very well thank you, won about £200 ) and the coach the best man had hired pulled up at the Axe, and in we trotted, a lot of us reluctantly tbf£1 per dance in a pint pot
i think there are people living there and they open it up once a year as a shop to get round some planning permission thingDoes anybody have any idea what this place is all about?

Isn't there a pub sorta opposite the Gents Club and the Scud that has a Naturists Sunday or something? Maybe a yellow pub...
no idea, my knowledge of Naturist locations is sadly lacking

I learnt that on my Welcome to Hackers tour my mad flatmate gave me when I moved to Homotron, before he went mad.

Seems that Hackney Council finally got round to painting over that picture of the cartoon Royal Family on Church Street. I was quite fond of that.
