Expect Beddia’s cult US-style pies, with McIlroy’s seasonal, ingredient-led approach shaping toppings. As much a bar as a pizzeria, the drinks lean Italian with spritzes, negronis on tap and low-intervention wines.

After leaving London Fields, the team behind Papi opened their pub, The Golden Tooth, taking over The Leconfield just north of Newington Green. Chef Matthew Scott and wine merchant Charlie Carr split the space between pub and restaurant. The main menu focuses on grilled meats, chops and pies, plus dishes like veal sweetbread saltimbocca. Wines come from Carr’s Wingnut Wines, leaning low-intervention, alongside Guinness, of course.

Stable Wines comes from the same team as Goodbye Horses. It's a wine shop upstairs, but head through the shop and you'll find the most beautiful wine bar downstairs. That's much larger than the shop with an almost gothic look. The same focus on natural wine can be found down here as well as a menu of small plates.
