| The only pub I enjoy drinking in in leytonstone, a great place for either a quiet night, one too many while chatting to the friendly locals and a great place to watch sport. So what if the decor is a bit tired!The beers are excellent and well kept and that's what matters. donsimon - 15 Jul 2008 10:37 |
| This is a great little pub. Friendly locals, good beer and when sunny you can sit outside and watch the world go by. rhythmstick - 3 Jul 2008 23:50 |
| What has gone wrong here? This used to be a buzzing popular venue, co owned by Mary of the Bell, an excellent publican. It now resembles the Marie Celeste on a bad day. The furniture is "tired" to put it mildly. I think the bar stools came from the first series of Coronation Street. The decor is a bizarre mix of train pictures and gloomy paint. The rear patio garden is a disgrace - unkempt with dangerous carpet metal strips. The view of the boiler isn't encouraging either - not sure that is safe. The closure of the gents loo beggars belief (oh, and it is illegal). I presume the lack of soap is a cost cutting measure whilst they save for new furniture And yet the beer was excellent, the service efficient and the few punters that were about friendly. So, not dead, but in serious need of resuscitation. It needs a make over and some investment. Let's hope they lower the price (£70k! I ask you) Please somebody, buy it!

| Don't go to this pub if you get short for a number two! They have shut down the toilets in the gents because someone keeps crapping on the seat or something! Madness or what? Beer was ok though! rogerthedodger - 20 Apr 2008 15:26 |
| Being of a certain age I've come to enjoy the simple things in life such as a quiet pint in a friendly local pub and I can assure you The North Star is exactly that especially in an area where Burberry clad youths loiter outside McDonalds drinking alcopops and Big Issue sellers out number ordinary retailers . The bar staff are polite and provide good service as well as friendly banter. The 'Scary Red Indian' gentleman who has been mentioned in previous posts I'm told is not as aggressive as he may seem and providing you don't come at him with a broken beer bottle will leave you well alone. I haven't had a bad evening there apart from one when I turned up on a Monday evening thinking I would be in for a quiet night instead I was met with a table full of Kronenbourg lager louts monolpolising the jukebox with Status Quo and ACDC records and singing along like a bunch of wild apes but I guess every pub has got to have the odd off night. All in all a quiet well kept pub with great beer and friendly staff which happens to be my idea of a decent pub. If however your idea of a decent pub is to be surrounded by aggressive drug dealing delinquents in hoodies or violent steroid induced Saffas in short trousers (even in winter) then The Walnut Tree and Zulu's are just a stones (or preferably large bricks) throw away, SirHenryPonsonbySmythe - 11 Feb 2008 10:57 |
