Harden's survey result
Summary
“In the heart of Walthamstow Village”, this “great neighbourhood spot” – a Spar supermarket with kitchen attached – wins praise for its “quality” cooking (“the 2019 Harden’s description of pub-type grub underplays its standard and originality”). “Very relaxed and welcoming for young children”, the venture’s best-known innovation is bacon jam, which you can buy by the jar in various flavours. Other branches have opened in Hackney and, most recently, Hammersmith (somewhat better-served areas, so these respective branches are somewhat less of a local lifeline).

Summary
The “excellent burgers and pub-type grub” at these ‘Spar-supermarkets-with-kitchen-attached’ in Walthamstow Village and Hackney (and also Bishop’s Stortford) make them favourite local hang outs as well as “super places to go for a meal with the kids” (even if non-parents can sometimes find it “family overfriendly!”). Top Tip: the “renowned chicken burger” (and their famous bacon jam, which can be bought by the jar). In late summer 2018 a new branch opened on the opposite side of town, south of Hammersmith Broadway.
Summary
“A lovely spot in Walthamstow Village” – an “enjoyable” British kitchen whose “attentive staff” provide “locally sourced” fare that’s “great value for money”. Bacon jam was invented here, so take a jar home with you and “check out the Spar next door which is run by Eat 17 and specialises in supplies from interesting small producers”.
