Leconfield, Stoke Newington

22/01/22 The Leconfield is hoping to restore one real ale soon, we have asked them to make it known when they do. June 2023 - one hand pump on bar. No real ale and no prospect of any until autumn at least.

The Oak Bar in Newington Green has had a make over and has emerged as the Leconfield, the name of the road behind the pub. It's an corner building, an inter war pub with mock Tudor frontage and some remaining features (marvelous tiled exterior with old Courage signage), but it has opened out inside and has a lovely large space with a mish-mash of distressed tables and chairs and an open-plan kitchen. Four handpumps used to dispense real ales in dimpled jugs from breweries across the country with an increasing focus on London but post-covid that is no longer the case.

A welcome addition to the Newington Green area. Their website gives some very interesting historical information and details on the refurbishment. Their website gives the latest info on what's on. Pub also has its own loyalty scheme. Became an accredited member of CAMRA's LocAle scheme Nov 2014 but this had to be removed in 2023.
