September 2021: Peg closed during lockdown in 2020 but re-opened on September 17 2021 with a set menu concept.
Harden's says
A team of owners of P Franco and Bright opened another natural wine bar (on the former site of Hackney's Legs, geddit?) in 2019, with Australian chef Byron Fini at the stoves.

Summary
From the backers of fooderati favourites, P Franco and Bright, this hipster natural wine bar in Hackney opened in summer 2019, but then closed for an extended period, finally to open again post-pandemic in September 2021. The small space – with its cool, minimal vibe – remains, but the Japanese-influenced modern British food offering has morphed a little: now they offer a £45 set menu of four or five courses, driven by the best produce coming into the kitchen at the time. (We have reinstated its historical ratings, taking a wild guess that the fundamentals haven’t altered much.)
Summary
In early summer 2019 (just as our survey was getting underway), some of the backers behind P Franco and Bright opened this: another painfully hip, East End natural wine bar (on the former site of Hackney’s now-defunct Legs – geddit?). This time Australian chef Byron Fini is at the stoves cooking up a small menu of light, “Japanese-izakaya-style” bar snacks – including ferments and pickles, and majoring in grilled skewers (lots of them chicken-related) – which are served in a bright, stylishly-neutral, small space that’s very ‘now’ (communal seating, tabletops made from recycled yoghurt pots, vinyl soundtrack, etc). Foodwise, the odd disappointment is noted (“if you want Japanese, go to a Japanese restaurant”) but most reports are in line with the rhapsodic write-ups it’s received in the press, rating the dishes very good to exceptional.
For 33 years we've been curating reviews of the UK's most notable restaurant. In a typical year, diners submit over 50,000 reviews to create the most authoritative restaurant guide in the UK. Each year, the guide is re-written from scratch based on this survey (although for the 2021 edition, reviews are little changed from 2020 as no survey could run for that year).
