| The pub is a 19th Century Grade II listed pub. A quick walk through the shopping precinct seemed the quickest route and only took a few minutes from the underground station. The pub as you enter certainly does look all original. It is however like Nick Davies comments a pub of two halves. The rear bar restaurant area is definitely not original, and presumably recently changed. Like Trainman has already commented image 1 should not be the piccie for this pub. Image 3 or 2 would be much better. During our visit on 19/12 there was also a work Christmas Do going on in the seating. It seemed good natured and they were also giving out secret Santa presents. A girl from this group received an inflatable horse/jockey costume and took it with good grace wearing it to everyone’s amusement. A tall customer also wound up one of his mates my lifting his pint on to the ledge at the top of the panelling. Two banks of four hand pumps in the pub part but only four in use during our visit. Nethergate Umbel and a personalised Eddies Best with Sharpes Doom Bar and Flowers IPA. The pub was chosen by our group as it was in the GBG and not too far from the O2 before the Madness gig. The music was quite loud here but it was the last Friday before Christmas! Love_good_ale - 31 Dec 2008 15:02 |
| Strange split personality here. The front is a proper pub and looks much the same as it has done for decades. The back is faux gastropub, complete with pastel coloured paint over the wood panelling and those horrid horrid leather sofas, dim lighting and awful loud music. Which is fine in its way, all those who don't really like pubs can go and sit out the back on the sofas being deafened leaving the rest of us to enjoy quite a decent pub at the front with very decent beer. I've no idea why anyone goes specifically to eat in town centre pubs like this, it is almost always regretted. nickdavies - 11 Dec 2008 10:51 |
| Traditional pub decorated with lots of wood with several different areas. Reasonable range of beers, including two frm Nethergate on my visit. Beer was well kept and the place seemed to do a lot of food (but did not try any). Rod_Hariga - 5 Dec 2008 19:32 |
| I think image2 is far more evocative & representative of the pub, showing the front bar, rather than rear dining area in main photo. Front bar has stone tiling, wooden furniture, windows to street, but is softly lit & has darkly atmospheric feel as you enter, I wrote Dickensian but it’s actually 1913. I know! & I’d only had 2 pints at this point. Rear right continues the woody feel and here you find leather chesterfield sofa & chairs, something of the feel of a gentleman’s club, beyond this to scrubbed wood tables in restauarant & more leather chairs to rear. Bar menu included Saus&mash £8, Vension Burger £9, Duck Cassoulet £12. Wine of the week Collet de Bovis, Bellet, sounded steep at £20 but it can retail at £15 (cuvee de Mathilde). You can witness the gamut of Stratford life in the short but circular walk from the station, or take Greshon’s advice (16Feb07) & take a taxi to ‘avoid contact with Stratford’, - it’s cosmopolitan, but not as we know it, hahaha! Anyway, Bombardier, Wooden Hand Cornish Mutiny, Tribute, all £2.80, or Nethergate Eddie’s Best (pres.IPA) £2.60. Bit of a drag out here for a one-pubber, but we combined it with Pembury (8mins Stratford to Hackney Central) & Carpenters/PrideofSpitalfields (6mins Hackney Downs to Bethnal Gr BR). trainman - 25 Nov 2008 10:47 |
| The best pub in Stratford, easily. Nice pint of St. Austell Tribute, good rock on the sound system, yeah that'll do for me! Didn't try the food. zabadak - 17 Sep 2008 17:31 |
