About The Sekforde
An independent pub on a quiet Clerkenwell street, with a restaurant in the basement, an events room upstairs and a small pavement garden by the door.
It takes its name from Thomas Sekforde, the Elizabethan landowner who gave this Clerkenwell street its name. It passed through several breweries before becoming an independent pub that combines a classic ground-floor bar with a wood fire with a basement restaurant and an events room upstairs.
On tap
Rotating cask ale alongside wines and cocktails.
Food
Its own basement restaurant with a menu that changes often, plus bar food upstairs.
