January 2025: The team behind Bad Manners have announced that they will be moving on from their Hackney Central site in the spring. Details of their new site will be announced soon, and in the meantime the Hackney site will function as a test kitchen trialling new recipes in preparation for the move.
You could easily walk past Bad Manners as you were strolling through the St John at Hackney Churchyard just off the Narrow Way. But you’d be missing out on some spicy delight: this unassuming hut is serving up big attitude and big flavours. The Mexican-inspired menu features some seriously delicious delicacies, with specials such as crispy pork belly taco with crying tiger sauce and chilorio pork burrito stuffed with Doritos for a special extra crunch. On weekends, the few tables outside quickly fill up so go early before it all sells out.
