We went here as a pub guide recommended the pub. it turned out that there was an appalled old school British pub with real kamin. I noticed that the small pub menu had two vegan options and decided to add the place. the vegan cheese toastie was in order, I didn't like the sausage in the sausage roll, but my partner ate her happy. this is a good choice when they are thirsty and peckish, but do not plan that this is their main meal.

This is a large local pub with excellent atmosphere and a great selection of real ales and others behave. the beer rotate what the dinge thinks interesting. the personal is really friendly and the pub has great character. I really like this place, it's all that should be a good pub. certainly one of the best pubs in east london and has won numerous awards including camra pub of the year. will be back.

One of the great pubs of london. a pub so good I am hesitant to leave an assessment because I don't want it to be more business, but it deserves more business also on the risk of a bigger wait queue at the bar. friendly staff, beautiful atmosphere, good music. come for the right ale and stay for the toasties.

This restaurant is a traditional pub with a unique story. It is one of the few local establishments that have managed to resist real estate developers and thrive.

This small bar is a great spot for those working in the area to unwind with a drink after a long day of work.
