The Kenton Pub

I wanted to hate this pub because I can’t stand Hackney hipsters, on any level. However I couldn’t fault this pub it was fantastic. The staff were courteous, friendly and really welcoming. There was a great selection on draught, the usual hipster ale stuff, but I went for the Stella. To top it all off they even sell pork scratchings, I’m in love. The only little frustrations was that they do have a Tottenham Hotspur’s kit hanging on the bar and there was a couple of hipsters moaning about the price of beer, boring. I’ll be back and cannot wait. Nice one guys.

The Kenton is a lovely pub! The staff are very friendly, the atmosphere is great and the beer garden is particularly charming. Held a party here for my boyfriend’s birthday and the staff were incredibly accommodating and helped make it special. Thank you especially to Lily! I was having too much of a good time to take any photos other than of this Guinness tap 🤠 thank you!! Definitely a favourite pub in the area ❤️

A classic corner pub, with a good selection of beers - I had a Siren - and lots of seating both in the main pub and outside in the yard. Very friendly and helpful staff! I would have happily stayed for a few more if I had not had a booking for dinner nearby; looking forward to visiting again soon.

Absolutely brilliant night for our daughter's surprise 30th Birthday party. This place is the perfect venue to host a party - the karaoke room and the brilliant music in the pub along with the great bar staff and delicious pizza delivery from Yardsale made it a fantastic celebration. A great time was had by all thanks to Egil and all the staff at The Kenton pub.

🚇 Homerton 🍺 £6.50 Pillars Pilsner The Kenton is located close to Well Street Common in Homerton, Hackney, East London. The nearest station Homerton on the Mildmay Line. This brightly painted pub was built by Sir Benjamin Kenton in 1864 as The Kenton Arms. In 2009, the pub was refurbished, reopened and transformed by Norwegian Guv’nor Egil. This is a traditionally decorated one bar pub that has an eclectic collection of trinkets, collectibles and keepsakes. The servery is centrally located with the main bar wrapping around it. There are lots of subtle and not so subtle hints to the Guv’nors Scandinavian heritage. To the left of the servery is Odin’s Corner, at the back of the main bar is cosy space called Thor’s Room and how about the huge moose head on the wall which was shot by the Guvnor’s Grandfather. Towards the back of the pub is a covered spot which is a geared up to watch the footy, just to the side is a unique and funky beer garden. The beer selection is excellent and offers a mix of premium beers, London breweries, cask ales and No & Low options. I kept in local and opted for a pint Pillars Pilsner by E17 brewery @pillarsbrewery , my pint was great, price point was above average. The food offering is @yardsalepizza who will deliver your pizza to the pub. We arrived just after 2pm on warm overcast Saturday afternoon in August. The pub was fairly quiet with a few local punters dotted about. The atmosphere was relaxed and had a laidback local pub feel. The service was welcoming and personable, the team member who served us was friendly and chatty. The pub has plenty to keep you entertained, there are DJ and Quiz nights, a Karaoke Room plus Live Premier and Champions League games are shown. @thekentonpub was a thoroughly enjoyable visit. The smörgåsbord of trinkets adds an element of fun to the decor, the beer choice is diverse and supports London breweries, the service was first class and there is plenty to keep you entertained. This award winning Hackney local is a must visit London Pub. 📅 31st August 2024 More London Pub info @londonpubmap 🍻
