It's all change again at the Billet , will change ownership at the end of Oct. Youngs are taken over, it will be a big change from the old , old Billet (up to 2013) & the Old Billet (2013 to date)

The food was awesome, we had the Beef Pie , and the Hake and chips . Huge portions and the staff was very friendly . Lots of beer options and a really nice beer garden .

Iain Mullan

Great spot. Ridiculous beer garden and cracking food. The black pudding scotch egg is easily the best 5 quid I've spent this year!

Simon Mc Nabb

All round good bar - friendly staff , great food and booze! One of the few decent Hackney pubs that hasn't gone full hipster

Edward Herbert

Good pub food , I especially recommend the pulled pork burger ! Selection of good ales and right next to the overground station.

Sam J.

Lovely beer and bar staff . The garden is incredibly beautiful, especially during the summer!

Martin Togher

New owners are doing it up, will soon be a real ale place, with 5 ale pumps. Will be a dramatic change from John Smiths. Due to re-open early July .

Martin Togher

under new ownership and transformed! They now have a selection of real ale , finally ! Have waited 16 YEARS for some decent ale in here.

Michelle Wild

Roasts are very tasty but portion size has definitely decreased drastically and the has increased over the last year.

Andrew Smallwood

New refurb, new lease of life (2013). Get down here for quality ales , food and an amazing pub garden

Rag B

Really good squid + Whitebait . Plus they sell beer which is wet and cold and makes your head spin.

Andrew Ashbolt

Really average roast which definitely had just come out of the microwave for a cheeky reheat. Nice atmosphere though and good range of drinks

Vic McGin

Great beergarden.

Martin Togher

Soon to Re-open with new owners, 5 real ales on tap , Yes I'm surprised too!

Matt Barber

Great garden . Nice staff . Weekly quiz.

Summer beer garden

Lydia Marmot

Seriously expensive & v small variety of drinks. Handy location near station though.

Martin Togher

It's not expensive ! About £3 a pint , cheap for a London pub .

Martin Togher

Old fashioned east end boozer, pool table ,lager and keg beer . Seems local only territory, not a lot of passing trade I'll wager.

Michelle Wild

Roast dinners
