The Three Crowns (Stoke Newington)

• As Christmas was fast approaching
• Nice but not too pricey) with some of our close friends
• Below there is a club which is on my list called The Drop
• I had subsequently put the Three Crowns on my list so I was more than happy to go
• Then I had the duck which came with mashed potato
• The mashed potato was weirdly dry (I didn't realise you could get mash wrong)
• The duck was inconsistent some bits were just right
• Cauliflower tempura with turmeric mayonnaise
• The award winning Scotch egg was crispy on the outside with a beautifully runny yolk
• Whilst it's not as awesome as the best pub in the world (The Duke of Cumberland in Sussex)
• S and I found ourselves ensconced in one of the many comfy leather sofas the other day and were aching for food so
• We shared pork crackling with thyme and apple sauce (big wedges of crispy crispy pig skin)
• Potato crackling with smoked chilli mayo (more like potato skins but perfect for scooping the creamy condiment and grilled coleslaw (creamy with a bit of bite and smoke)
• We then dove into the hog's pudding scotch egg with Cornish ale brown sauce
• The house cured salmon with toasted rye bread and pickles was divine thick rather than anaemic slabs of fish were lightly smoked with a flavour that was both smooth and deep
• Finally we had goats cheese fritters light bites of fried cheese matched with a honey dressing and candy striped beetroot and I declared myself done
• Big bar so service is always quick and has also always been friendly
