| Very much an old style boozer round the corner from Mile End station. Has got a real East End local feel to it, nice old girl behind the bar and chatty locals propping it up. Which after spending most of the last two weeks working in the wilds of the North, was very welcome to this London lad. As previously stated there is only Bombardier on keg, (I can only imagine how awful that is.) But, being a Wells pub I managed to get Red Stripe on tap which always goes down well. Interior is small, but cosy and has been given a good clean and a lick of paint recently, which makes for pleasant surroundings. Small but functional beer garden/smokers area to the side. Would get a higher mark had there been some real beer on offer, but a decent pub all in all. mrse1 - 30 May 2008 09:59 |
| Dropped in here accidentally at the start of a crawl round these parts ( while we waited for one of our crowd to turn up eventually dragging him off the virtual roulette in Hills up the road ). Wasn't disappointed. We ended up staying for three and there were even free sandwiches. Guinness was excellent. Banter was friendly and hearty. The random music selection on the jukie ranged from classical to hard rock, which provided great entertainment. I think orientbear's review below got it spot on. A good find. buzzard1 - 7 Apr 2008 13:35 |
| A little gem of a boozer. I first stumbled accross "The Wentworth" after being forced to disembark my central line train by a rather over-zealous "passenger assistant" at Mile End station, apparantly a mans false arm had fallen onto the track (im pleased to report that he wasn't attached to it at the time). On entering, the pub (situated only a minutes walk from the station) the first thing you notice is how small it is, but dont let this put you off as if anything it adds to the character of the pub. Served a lovely pint of Guinness by friendly and knowledgeable staff going out there way to enquire after the day you have had without being intrusive. A handfull of regulars perched up at the bar all with stories to tell only adds to the ambience of the pub. You feel as though you have stepped back into a bygone age when pubs were seen as the centre of the community, such establishments are becoming increasinglky hard to find, especially in London. If Hogsheads or All Bar One's are places you enjoy frequenting, this is NOT the pub for you. However, if you enjoy good banter, friendly regulars and staff and a good pint, I would recommend a visit without hesitation before the developers move in and build luxury flats on top of it all in the name of "progress"! orientbear - 22 Oct 2007 12:37 |
| Tucked just round the corner from the tube station, the Wentworth is a smallish, no nonsense, local’s corner pub with no glamour or pretensions. As previously mentioned, this is a Wells pub but despite 2 hand pumps, they have no cask ales and keg Bombardier is the only option for bitter drinkers. There is a dart board at one end of the bar (mind the bookshelf below) and a couple of TVs and jukebox. The décor is plain and simple with polished wooden floor, padded pew seats and plain ceilings / walls. The windows are partly frosted with the pub name picked out and a staircase cuts across the bar that would have originally been divided into a typical public / saloon set up but is now knocked through into one. The beer garden has an interesting bus stop style shelter so smokers should remain dry. The pub may not be anything particularly special but there are far worse places in the area.
