Best Restaurants for Outdoor Dining in Hackney

Went because it 100% gluten free and it came highly recommended. It didn’t disappoint - the service was excellent. Marco looked after us and he was very passionate about their food, attentive and great with my kids. He explained the menu and choices really well and was patient whilst we worked out which dishes to share. We had a view of St Paul’s and it all felt very special. An amazing treat.

Buzzy, nice atmosphere, friendly staff plus the signature lasagna was tender tasty beef shin and a very generous portion. It's a nice short menu, with three courses for £28. Our burrata and bruschetta starter were lovely too (if I'm going to be picky it would be that the burrata probably should have come with more than half a slice of bread!).

Need a civilized enclave away from the madness of the West End? If you stick to the set menu at Ham Yard, you'll get reasonable value too. Great staff, good food, gorgeous spacious setting. The drinks are rather overpriced though. There's a dry house white for £13.00 (which I didn't personally like) but anything other than that by the glass is upwards of £23. I think that's too steep, even in today's economy. I'd have liked a medium wine but was not prepared to pay £30 for one glass. Also, the set menu is advertised as being from 12pm to 6pm and 9pm to 10:30pm. We booked for 9.45 but initially were told the set menu wasn't available, although we did have it in the end. The staff were lovely about it, but it seemed a bit off. Having made those few criticisms, I wouldn't hesitate to recommend this place as a haven from the madding crowd and with the most divine puddings, if your purse can take it....

Everything is mouthwatering, service is wonderful definitely one of my favourite places to be. Such a lovely ambiance

Service was great - the guy serving us helped everyone with cocktail choices and also advised on foo options. We also asked if we could go to the cantina after our dinner and drinks and he spoke with the hostess who organised this for us - reserved us a table and our waiter took us down there. All my friends loved the food and the cocktails are just as good! I've been a few times before - before the refurb and moving upstairs and i just love it!
