Two More Years in Stratford

Oh, mate, let me tell you about Two More Years – it's one of those hidden spots in Hackney Wick that just hits the mark for a laid-back afternoon or evening out. From what I've gathered from the buzz around it, the place really shines with its relaxing atmosphere; imagine sipping on a cold Purity lager or a sweet Saxby's blackcurrant cider while soaking up the sun on that floating terrace by the canal – it's pure bliss, especially if you're into watching the world go by with a bit of street art nearby. The food's another winner; those Lucky Chip burgers are spot on, with options that cater to all tastes, and it's open bright and early, which is a rarity and makes it ideal for everything from a quick coffee to a full day of work or catching some live music on Thursdays. The staff seem like absolute legends, always up for a chat and making sure you're looked after. But, on the flip side, it's a bit of a shame that it's closed at the moment due to that bridge problem, so you might need to plan around that or use the alternative route they've suggested. And while the location's got that cool, edgy feel, it can be a bit out of the way if you're coming from further afield, so it's not the easiest spot to nip to on a whim. All in all, it's a solid choice for a proper pub experience – just keep an eye on their status, and you'll have a top-notch time when you do go.
