Forest Tavern, Forest Gateback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
Friendly staff and decent atmosphere spoilt by over-priced short measures, hostile management and awful smell of cleaning fluid.

Formally The Railway Tavern re-opened within the last year by Antic. As with their other pubs we've visited, the interior has been stripped right back and filled with "shabby-chic" finishings. The bar area in the front is mainly used for drinking while the area at the back is mainly for eating which seems to be an arrangement which works well. There are six hand-pumps serving a range of well kept and mainly unusual real ales at £3.80 per pint. The music is played at a non-intrusive level and the pub also hosts a regular comedy evening. It's main clientele during the couple of Sunday afternoons when we've been in there, consists of the twenty and thirty something professional types you'd expect to find in what is a supposedly "up and coming" area of East London. One word of warning - The Forest Tavern doesn't open until 4.00pm Monday to Friday! Highly recommended!
