London is the home of really excellent pseudo-street food, pseudo insofar as there’s nothing of the wipe-it-on-your-sleeve greasiness or dripping-on-your-shoes messiness one might rightly associate with street food. Instead, what London does so well is street food served posh (or at least with plates) and Oven & Hearth brings the potential mess of the American south to this pristine corner of Finsbury Park. Diners are heading to Stroud Green Road for the smoky flavours of barbecued meats and a generous menu of cocktails, craft beers and wines, without the risk of getting taco all over your jeans. Aside from the food (hello to Vietnamese duck carnitas, pork pibil, baja California cod, Korean brisket, lamb merguez, chicken mole and falafel tacos) the other big attraction at Oven & Hearth is the drinks menu. Finsbury Park’s finest spot for the food of the American south and the most London drinks menu imaginable, Oven & Hearth knows how to keep its punters happy. Stroud Green Road offers in equal measure great food and cocktails with names like vive la revolucion and beers which go by Hackney hopster, so you know you’re at the perfect meeting point of tacos and cocktails.
