| I also would like to know what is happening to this pub used to go in there in my youth and loved it in there lovely food, a typical east london pub loads of character. I drive past there every week on the way to work and the lights are always on upstairs and at one point workman were in there, they have put a metal fench round the place under lock and key but not much other than that happening do you know anything?

| Walked past the Old Spotted Dog last night, Friday 23 June 2006, and noticed that it was shut and all of the windows boarded up. Does anyone know if the pub is being refurbished or joining the long list of East End pubs coverted to "luxury flats". harryflowers - 24 Jun 2006 14:29 |
| My parents lived in West Ham around 1947-1950. There was still rationing at the time as it was just after the war. The regulars at the Spotted Dog chipped in their ration cards to buy my parents a bottle of champagne to celebrate their wedding day. A real sense of a 'local' for the local community, great people. My Dad was a schoolteacher in Forest Gate and my mum taught in Woodford so I guess they were well known in the area. anonymous - 16 Mar 2006 11:40 |
| worked in the spotted dog in 1985/6 was known as oi Jock by most of the clientele, the regulars there were some of the best I ever met and the pub holds some real good memories for me. Mike and his wife and Brian from Norfolk were the managers at the time, Brians son worked there and I worked with them until the pub was sold to a JP and his family. I remember Micky(how could I forget) Butch, Gregg, Lorry and Sandy, and Steve and his wife Elaine. Welsh Cathy worked alongside me in the lounge and the bar. Irish meg worked upstairs in the restaurant. MargotheJock - 9 Jan 2006 18:01 |
