Enjoy canal side views in Hackney on a converted narrowboat at Barge East – there’s both outdoor seating on the barge itself or at riverside picnic tables. Local beers, lovely staff and great food – go on a Sunday for the great value two courses for £22 or three for £27. Choices include chorizo and pork Scotch egg with aioli and pea cress, followed by beef rib, miso and honey-roasted carrot, with purple sprouting broccolini and parsnip purée (and roast potatoes, of course). Follow up with a two minute walk to the other side of the canal for a beer at Crate Brewery.
