Nestled by the canal in Hackney Wick, Crate Brewery is a sprawling warehouse boasting inventive pizzas and its own craft brews, perfect for lazy afternoons.
"At weekends, there are DJs spinning and a party vibe at Crate Brewery. The canal-side spot in Hackney Wick is a longtime favourite for herds of friends needing somewhere comfortable and inoffensive for a few drinks and thin-crust sourdough pizzas. There are a load of house-brewed beers and ciders on tap and, while it’s not the most groundbreaking place to eat and drink, it’s a big warehouse that’s tailor-made for even bigger groups.

"We’ve probably spent more of our life in a beer garden than we spent attending university lectures. And you know what? We regret nothing. If you’re looking to turn your garden, sofa, or bathroom (hey, we don’t judge) into your new beer garden for the day then it’s time for a big order from Crate Brewery website. Twelve-pack encouraged." - heidi lauth beasley, rianne shlebak
"We’re already missing Crate Brewery’s sourdough pizzas but thanks to their website there’s no need to miss their craft beers.

"Throughout September, this canal-side brewery in Hackney Wick will continue offering a 50% off their pizzas from 12-3pm, Monday through Wednesday." - oliver feldman, rianne shlebak
"Options around the Olympic Park are improving every year, but Crate remains one of the most reliable crowd-pleasers. The Hackney Wick brewery sits on the canal and is a 10-minute walk to the London Stadium. There are plenty of beers, as you’d expect, and a menu of mega-crispy, thin crust pizzas. " - jake missing
