The Scolt Head

Dalston’s unpretentious but welcoming Scolt Head is a proper neighbourhood pub with a fondness for dog art. The gastro game here is up to snuff as well, with the kitchen excelling in sourcing top produce and making its own jams and chutneys. The menu changes daily but is rooted in British cuisine, with international influences and seasonal flourishes a regular feature. Drinks include four-pint jugs of beer, cocktails and mini kegs you can carry out at the end of the night. The venue can also be hired for gigs, film screenings, parties and other events.
