Visited here on a Wednesday lunchtime; wasn't going to stay for more than a half, but liked it enough that I had lunch and another pint. I only had a tuna baguette with salad, but there was evidence that the kitchen do actually care about the food — fresh herbs used on the salad, attention paid to presentation. I'd happily come back here, for both the drinks and the food.

Re bowhammer's comment about the staff being unhappy about you eating a takeaway outside: if you mean you were sitting on their benches, using their tables, within their clearly fenced off front patio, and you didn't ask them for permission, then I can't really blame them. (Not mentioning this to have a go at you, but because before I visited the pub and saw it for myself I thought you just meant outside on the pavement.)

reasonable place. wouldn't go for the food, but it's definitely one of the nicer places in the area

somtimes i go in here and its incredible, some times its bollocks. i was a bit hacked of, one of the staff got pissy about eating a chinese outside after the pub stopped serving food.

however the bangers and mash served in this place is soooooo good. gotta be the best in london

This is a great pub. A traditional, old-fashioned East End local with a difference. Just down from where I stay when in London. Friendly landlord. Very knowledgeable about wine. Quite happy to recommend cheaper, good wines rather than the more expensive ones. Great food ... but order main courses from the freshly cooked dishes in the display rather than from then menu. Friendly locals too: lunchtime crowd is office workers, in the evening, people from the houses and flats nearby. Much better than the Morgan Arms down the road.

Friendly staff, decent food, good beer - I've walked out of my way home from Mile End station to pop in for a pint which speaks for itself. Thoroughly recommended.
