| "Don't say Real Ale say Sarsons" should be this pubs motto. This boozer is holding on against all of the odds in an area where pubs are disappearing faster than playing cards up Paul Daniels sleeves. With a bar staff that couldn't recognise an off pint of real ale (the only kind they serve) if they were forced to bathe in it and with the magnificent Doreen in attendance, surely Wagners inspiration for the Valkyries, frightening stuff indeed, Gotterdammerung surely awaits just as it did for John Bull bitter (and the Romford Brewery Co.)Innocent passerby, do yourself a favour and pass on to the canal up towards Mile End Station. You'll find something in there more refreshing! IronsRus - 27 Jun 2008 16:11 |
| This was a lovly pub back in the 80's. It is now run by a woman called doreen who would look more at home in a concentration camp. Rude and unpleasent are to good of words for her. Hopefully when she leaves it may return to the good old pub it once was. menadthee - 28 Jan 2008 11:00 |
| The real ale promised is never on, this may be because the old codgers would die if they got near it. Staff seem disinterested, a pub dying on its feet/ zimmer frame. surreytriumphant - 16 Feb 2007 17:40 |
| A.K.A. The "top house". was always busy at weekends, mainly 40s plus back then, a two piece band at weekends with regular sing-a-longs; never really had a lot of local competition (Bearing in mind that people used to walk to there locals back in the seventies and eighties) There nearest competitor, Exluding the fountain next door,of which was built much later, Was the prince of wales, A.K.A. kate hodders and the new globe mile end road, bow. moncrief - 11 Feb 2006 01:58 |
| Reopened a few years back, halfway between Mile End and Stepney Green tube stations (next to Silvermans army surplus). Friendly staff, a good pint and cheap rolls. Takes a fair bit of passing trade from builders, binmen etc so busy early afternoons. Basically a solid East End local. pablos13 - 11 Apr 2005 17:52 |
