The Crown Bow is a welcoming East London pub opposite the gates of Victoria Park on Grove Road. Spread across two floors, its dining rooms and balconies look towards the park and provide a convenient meeting place for local residents, walkers, festival visitors and groups.
The menu moves from bar snacks and British inspired small plates to substantial pub classics and seasonal specials. Sausage rolls, Scotch eggs and sharing dishes can begin the meal, followed by choices such as fish and chips, pie, steak, burgers, chicken, fish and vegetable plates.
Weekend brunch brings a more relaxed daytime rhythm, while Sunday roasts are one of the pub’s main attractions. Roast meat or a vegetarian option is served with potatoes, seasonal vegetables, Yorkshire pudding and gravy, supported by children’s choices for family visits.
Craft beer, wine, spirits, cocktails and alcohol free drinks are served across the bars, with outdoor seats and park facing balconies especially popular in warmer weather. The dog friendly pub also offers its first floor for private parties, dinners, meetings and celebrations.
Address: 223 Grove Road, Bow, London E3 5SN, United Kingdom
