The Macbeth Menu

The Macbeth in Hoxton is more than just a pub-it’s a cornerstone of London’s underground music scene. But beyond its legacy as a cultural institution, The Macbeth Menu deserves its own spotlight for offering an honest, no-frills culinary experience that resonates with the venue’s gritty, creative charm.

Set at 70 Hoxton St, this legendary venue surprises visitors with a menu that’s a notch above typical pub fare. During my visit, I found the food both comfort-driven and thoughtfully prepared. The classic beef burger was juicy and well-seasoned, with a toasted brioche bun that held its own. The fries were golden, crisp, and generously portioned-a perfect pairing for their selection of craft beers. For plant-based diners, the vegan burger was a pleasant standout: hearty, flavorful, and built for more than just appeasing dietary restrictions.

What elevates the menu is its simplicity. The kitchen isn’t trying to reinvent the gastropub wheel-it’s focused on doing the basics right, which is refreshing in a scene often dominated by trend-chasing concepts. Prices are fair for the area, especially considering the portion sizes and quality.

What sets The Macbeth apart from competitors like nearby trendy bars is the authenticity. You’re not just there to eat-you’re part of an atmosphere steeped in East London’s musical and artistic spirit. On gig nights, the menu doesn’t skip a beat. Service remains efficient even when the floor gets packed, and the food arrives hot and satisfying.

While it’s not aiming for Michelin stars, the menu’s unpretentious execution and value make it an essential part of the Macbeth experience. Whether you're here for the live music, a pint, or a casual dinner, the menu completes the picture. It’s comfort food with character-much like The Macbeth itself.
