The Dragon Flame's 6 Month Residency at The Tavern on The Hill in E17
The Dragon Flame are now in the kitchen at The Tavern on The Hill, the independent pub at 318 Higham Hill Rd, E17, serving their BBQ & fire-cooked food on Tuesdays to Sundays (including a Sunday Roast).
The Dragon Flame was founded in 2021 by chefs Georgi Vlaykov and Diotima Vila who bring their experience and passion for food to create a wonderfully tasty menu. When I visited I went to see them in the back yard, where they cook over charcoal; when I was there they were spit roasting three big rolls of pork belly.
The food is fantastic, particularly the meats! I ordered the BBQ Rotisserie Pork (how could I have anything else, having seen it cooking?), with a side of their home made beef pastrami on beef fat potatoes. Both were sensationally good, especially the pork!
A shout out as well to the pub: A big, friendly boozer, with beers from Wild Card brewery, brewed a few hundred meters away, including cask beer for less then £5 a pint.
When - Tuesdays to Sundays
Where - The Tavern on the Hill, 318 Higham Hill Rd, London E17 5RG

Dough Hands Pizza at The Three Colts Tavern in Bethnal Green
Dough Hands Pizza, founded by Hannah Drye, is now cookign at the new Three Colts Tavern, 199 Cambridge Heath Road, E2 0EL, serving Fridays to Sundays (Wednesdays to Sundays from April 2023).
I've been a fan of Hannah's pizzas since trying them at pop-ups last year. She would turn up for the night with her portable pizza ovens in her car, and cook. Now she has got 'proper' pizza ovens, and the pizzas taste even better - try the Flamin' Mo, or the Carbonara-ish - really tasty, imaginative toppings and combinations.
Three Colts is the first pub from Exale Brewing, based on the Blackhorse Beer Mile in E17. They bring the same beers and the same great hospitality found in their taproom to this large, modern bar, and it works brilliantly.
When - Fridays to Sundays (& Weds-Sun from April)
Where - Three Colts Tavern, 199 Cambridge Heath Road, London E2 0EL
