Hackney pub
Winner of The Time Out award for Best Pub in E8
We were handed the keys on the 22nd December 2011…We gave it a good scrub, lit some candles and opened the doors that very same night. There was no brand spanking new make-over, just some small changes here and there. The Three Compasses is hundreds of years old, and we’ve strived to stick to its roots as a proper East End boozer. No pretension, just the best local craft beer, delicious burger pop-ups, friendly staff, major sports fixtures on projectors, a lovely beer garden and the best pub quiz in Hackney.

Food by Lagom, elliot cunningham
We are delighted to welcome Elliot Cunningham and his unique Lagom ‘Burger & Buns’ menu to The Three Compasses. His smash burger has been touted as the best in London, and as it’s not been available for a few months, people are chomping at the bit to come try his new menu. As well as the famous smash burger, there is also a lamb burger, celeriac bun, fried chicken bun, roast potatoes and ever changing specials such as half a roast chicken and roast pork belly. It truly is delicious
