Water Poet

The Water Poet is a well-established and popular gastropub on Folgate Street in Spitalfields, just a short walk from Liverpool Street station and Old Spitalfields Market. A large, atmospheric pub with one of the best beer gardens in the area, the Water Poet has been a reliable anchor of the Spitalfields food and drinks scene for over two decades, serving the City fringe and Spitalfields community with good food, a broad selection of draught beers, craft ales and cocktails, and a lively programme of live music, quiz nights and events.

The kitchen serves a broad British gastropub menu throughout the day: burgers, fish and chips, chicken dishes, sandwiches, sharing boards and weekly specials. Sunday roasts are a highlight. The large ground-floor bar connects to an expansive covered beer garden -- one of the most generous outdoor drinking spaces in E1 -- making it a particularly popular destination in good weather. Open daily from noon. Close to Liverpool Street station and Shoreditch High Street Overground.
