Northcote Arms is an independent community pub at 110 Grove Green Road in Leytonstone. The corner pub combines a friendly local atmosphere with a broad drinks selection, a busy events calendar and a kitchen focused on freshly baked pizza. It works equally well for a casual evening drink, a relaxed meal or one of the venue’s regular music and entertainment nights.
Classic pizzas begin with Margherita, layering tomato, mozzarella and basil over the base. Quattro Formaggi adds gorgonzola, taleggio and Parmesan, while Capra combines goat’s cheese with sun dried tomato, olives and pesto. Siciliana brings anchovies, capers, garlic and oregano together for a sharper, savoury option.
Meat toppings include Diavola with pepperoni and chilli, prosciutto with mushrooms, and a combination of nduja, mozzarella, honey and chilli. Vegetarian and vegan choices are given equal attention. Porcini uses taleggio, mushrooms, parsley and truffle oil, while Mediterranea and Contadina layer vegetables, olives, capers, artichoke and aubergine across tomato or vegetable bases.
Gluten free bases are available, and several vegetarian recipes can also be prepared with vegan cheese. The compact food menu suits the pub’s emphasis on conversation, local beer and social events rather than formal dining. Music bingo, live performances, quizzes and Sunday gatherings give the Northcote its distinctive community character throughout the week.
