The Sun Tavern

"The Sun Tavern in Bethnal Green has managed to balance its east London roots with the idle creep of gentrification. It is not an easy or common skill, and should be rewarded. While the drinks list is expansive — particular attention should be paid to the poitin, and please ask for a white negroni — the food is kept simple. Scotch eggs ooze as they should, with peppery pork meat and richly golden breadcrumbs, and the herby sausage rolls are served with hot English mustard and brown sauce. Condiments are treated with the respect they deserve." - Josh Barrie
