The Cock Tavern, Hackney

Went here midweek at about 8pm. It wasn't hugely busy, plenty of good tables, extensive and interesting selection of craft beers and ciders. We had bar snacks including a veggie scotch egg, and those were tasty.

The service left a bit to be desired though - I wanted to ask questions about the beers as there wasn't much description on the labels. But the answers were surly and generally along the lines of "you can't really describe them." After a few goes I just gave up and ordered at random.

Worth a visit though - I reckon on a lively weekend it'd have more atmosphere, and my pint was pretty good.
