The pub is found in Clapton, Greater London, E5 9JP.
One of the longest established pubs in the area, in Upper Clapton Road, the Crooked Billet was present here in Clapton by 1731, when the landlord was fined five shillings for opening on a Sunday. The present, large building dates from the 1950s and is now opened out into a single large room. A Watney’s pub in its day, it became Jack Beard’s (at the Crooked Billet) in 2002, by which time fortunes were somewhat faded. The pub closed for refurbishment in 2013 and re-opened under independent ownership in July of that year. In one of those “only in Hackney” moments, the former car park has been covered in decking to become an extension of the rear garden. There are plans to install an in-house micro-brewery. Since late 2023 operated by Young's.
We have visited this pub 11 times, seen 47 different beers and tried 17 of them.
