Characterful Hackney pub with standout Sunday roasts, welcoming staff, and lively vibes; good value for the quality, but service can wobble at busy times.
Hand of Glory earns its A- grade through exceptional food quality—particularly standout Sunday roasts with proper technique—and warm, attentive service that defines the neighborhood experience. The distinctive pagan-folk aesthetic creates genuine local charm, though occasional service delays during peak times and modest ambiance prevent grade A territory. A reliable, character-driven pub that delivers on its core promise.
One caveat: Waits and missed orders reported at peak times; manage expectations on busy Sundays
