The Marksman

Sharp, unpretentious modern British cooking draws crowds to this Hackney favourite, where chef Billy Stock's pedigree translates into confident, well-executed dishes rather than showboating. The vibrant neighbourhood setting and no-nonsense approach make it feel like the kind of place that prioritises what's on the plate over how the room looks.
