Too many kids in there for my liking

If it is a choice between this and the sour puss women in the Travellers Friend ( the name alone is Ironic), then give me the Horse and Well any time.

I quite liked it.

Yet again I found myself inside the four walls of hell, lying in the squalid rookery of Woodford Wells. Generously remunerated working men climbed the walls with their tales of basic wit, pawing at the pumps like unrestrained hounds.

And like the captives of Plato's cave they gawped hopelessly at images of men kicking a football, thrust upon one of the walls. And they filled this hellhole to the brim, striding back and forth to the toilets in agitation, like animals addicted to a working-class ethic. For these men they did drink the establishment's lager and then imbibed, told many a dull story, interspersed richly with irrelevant laughter.

To further my previous comments I visited his pub for the Champions League semi-final 1st between Manchester United and Arsenal. The patrons were made up largely of Woodford Green's most stereotypical males; men whose attendence is not only to watch football but also to impose their loud, working-class intonation upon other drinkers.

The service was terrible but this was not the fault of the over-stretched staff of two, rather it was the fault of the deliberately obstinate customers, who felt the need to provocatively obstruct the bar, whilst holding a wholly predicatble discussion about how much money they make.

The atmosphere was more a kin to Chingford's 'Greens Gynasium' where handsome, well-toned insecure young men stand around eyeing up other angry young men both admiring and envying their identical haircut. If the Horse and Wells were to intorduce a set of weight machines, fenced in by a wall of mirrors then the clientele would not change but they would arrive with even tighter t-shirts.
