About The Crooked Billet
A Young's house with one of East London's largest beer gardens, built around Sunday roasts, weekly quizzes and regular DJ nights.
The Crooked Billet leans heavily on its outdoor space — heated covered areas and an outdoor bar make one of the largest beer gardens in East London usable for most of the year, and it is the reason the pub markets itself as Clapton’s most iconic. Beyond the garden, the format is a familiar one done well: Sunday roasts, pizzas and burgers, a weekly quiz, and DJ or movie nights that keep it busy well past the roast crowd.
On tap
Young's cask ales and the standard brewery range.
Food
