The team behind the Leytonstone Tavern are set to bring their expertise to the Tavern on the Hill, which will reopen on Friday, 29th August
The Tavern on the Hill in Higham Hill, Walthamstow, is set to reopen on Friday, 29th August, under new management.
The historic pub, located on Higham Hill, has been taken over by Taverns East, an independent hospitality group founded by two East London friends, Ronnie Finch and Jamie Tack, who say they share a passion for “great hospitality, destination food and decent pints in proper boozers”.
The group includes the much-acclaimed Leytonstone Tavern, which has won awards, including Street Food Championship wins in 2022 and 2024, and National Burger Awards finalist status in 2023.
Ronnie Finch, co-founder of Taverns East, and owner of East London Brewing said: “As East London locals and pub owners since 2013, we understand how important the neighbourhood pub is to the community, we’re here to bring the same passion and quality that’s made the Leytonstone Tavern such a success. We’re expanding our independent hospitality group, building on what we’ve achieved at the Leytonstone Tavern and recreating what works there at Tavern on the Hill.”
Following a brief refurbishment period, the pub will initially open from Wednesday to Sunday, featuring exciting destination street food, focusing on the team’s winning hand-pressed burgers, including signature burgers exclusive to Tavern On the Hill.
With head chef and co-founder Jamie Tack leading the culinary direction, the venue will launch its full offering, including Sunday roasts, from September.
The pub will feature an extensive and rotating list of beers from East London Brewing Company, with Blackhorse Beer Mile favourites including Pretty Decent, Signature Brew, and Exhale Brewery rotating through the remaining taps, celebrating the area’s fiercely independent brewing scene. Beyond the beer selection, the drinks offering extends to carefully crafted cocktails and a coffee programme using local roaster Perky Blenders.
