Just paid my first visit to this place and was very pleasantly surprised. A super little front bar which looks like it has been there since the 16th century but is probably not that old (1913 according to one of the etched windows). Anyway, split level rooms at the back and a very interesting side corridor with impressive tiling. It was good to see that it still remains fairly untouched but obviously is up-to-date in trading terms with food and music available. There were 4 cask ales on pump and I tried their "house beer" Eddy's Best from Nethergate Brewery. It was fine as was the St.Austell Trubute. This pub would be a great place for ther tourists to discover when the Olympics come round but I doubt if any of them will eveer get to this side of town as all the venues are on the other side of the station - maybe that's a good thing as the pub will remain unspoilt!!
After a long and boring bus journey from The William IV in Leyton this was a great find and one I shall use again. You reach it by going straight through the shopping centre from the station and across the Broadway.

That's cos we're at the Boleyn Ground watching the Irons !! Have been drinking in the Eddy now for 28 years and it's still the best boozer in Stratford if you like decent beer.

Traditional town centre pub situated in the heart of Stratford Broadway.

"King Eddies" - as it badges itself - is a 19th century Grade 2 listed building, still retaining many original features including etched windows. A nice tiled entrance leads to a 2 bar pub. The front lounge bar has wood pannelling, low ceilings and a partly flagstoned floor. Up some steps towards the rear is a lighter, more airy room, which is the main restaurant area. The saloon bar has a mixture of sofas and normal pub seating, but still retains a traditional feel. There's no TV's at all and you get the feel that the pub is aiming at the more upmarket, professional end of the customer spectrum.

Food is evidently a big part of the operation and each table had a rolled up paper menu in a beer glass. A number of tables had "reserved" signs for stated later times.

In the lounge bar, there are 4 handpumps , but only two beers were on - Sharps Doom Bar and Bombardier. In the saloon bar, there's 2 banks of 4 pumps. One of the banks appears unused - all 4 pumps were unclipped - and the other bank of pumps were serving the 2 previously mentioned beers plus a beer called Full Steam Ahead. My pint of Doom Bar was average at best and, despite being listed in recent GBG's, I didn't detect any real emphasis or focus on real ale. The house beer - Nethergate Eddie's Best - wasn't on. Interestingly, the drinks menu includes some unusual bottled beers - Sam Smiths Organic Cherry, St Austell Clouded Yellow and Innis and Gunn amongst others.

On my early Sunday lunchtime visit, the temperature in the front lounge bar was a bit chilly and there was a distinct whiff of cleaning fluid, which made me retreat to the saloon bar.

I'd probably pop in again if in Stratford, but, taking the experience as a whole, I don't regard this as a pub worth going out of your way to visit.
