The Lauriston is a friendly neighbourhood pub at 162 Victoria Park Road in Hackney, only moments from Victoria Park. It opens every day for pizza, pints and cocktails, welcoming regulars, park visitors and larger social groups into a relaxed local setting. Guest rooms upstairs and a semi private area also allow celebrations to continue beyond the main bar.
The kitchen prepares its dough, sauces and toppings fresh each day for 12 inch Roman style pizza. Margherita provides the simple foundation, while other choices combine prosciutto, Tuscan sausage, goat cheese, spinach, mushrooms, spicy salami, nduja, anchovies and Italian cheeses. Both tomato and white bases are used, with vegetarian and vegan versions available across part of the selection.
Antipasti and bar snacks include olives, marinated artichokes, Italian salami and cashews. Deep fried olives stuffed with Tuscan sausage bring a savoury house speciality, while a muffaletta style deli bun layers mortadella, salami, pickles and grilled Swiss cheese. These smaller dishes suit a quick drink as well as a shared beginning before pizza.
Craft beer, familiar draught choices, wine, spirits and seasonal cocktails support the pub atmosphere. Major sport is shown on screens, and a Wednesday quiz gives the week a regular community event. With its outdoor space, group friendly rooms, fresh pizza and easy service, The Lauriston remains a genuine local around the corner from one of East London's busiest parks.
