| A local boozer for older folk from the vicinity. Advertised Hobgoblin on draught for £2,90 but there wasn't available on my visit so plumped for Stella. Not a brilliant place but not a complete scumhole either. Handy for a quick lager while waiting for a train (Gospel Oak station is directly opposite) Snarling_Mallard - 6 Jun 2010 21:29 |
| Friendly bar staff and a nice pint. Overall a good place to watch sport on a Saturday/ Sunday. I will def use it again. Landlord was a bit of a legend, came around and had a chat with everyone. I haven't see any of the trouble others have noted but only been in there a couple of times.... seanyboy666 - 30 Mar 2010 15:47 |
| Last time I went in this place I thought it felt so unwelcoming I turned straight back round and left again. Recently I made a longer visit, and thought it better than it had first appeared. It's a fairly unreconstructed local's boozer which I would guess draws most of its custom from the large and fairly grimy council estates behind the pub. It was quiet on the lunchtime I visited although a few fairly "gor blimey" locals turned up towards the end of my visit. Posters outside advertised real ale, although there was no clip on the one handpump I saw. grecian - 21 Aug 2009 16:58 |
| There is a dart board by the door as you walk in and I have reason to believe there are a few professionals that play for their super league team on a Thursday night. The lager has always been very good and there is plenty of seating inside and out. I’ve found the people there to be a little insular, but then I have not made much effort to speak to them as a few seem like old gangsters and a few of the people off the estate think that anybody they don’t know are old bill. The Old Oak is not a pub I would take the other half again after the fight between a heavily pregnant young woman and a 15 year old scum bag girl from the big estate behind the pub. It’s a good place for a pint if you need a piss after a long train journey or you are going to watch a match, but other than that I’d keep walking. Strongers - 22 Mar 2007 08:47 |
| Down-to-earth local which can get lively esp on karaoke & ladies' darts nights. I only drop in now & then, but I've never found it unfriendly. Indeed, about 20 years ago the aged pub dog of the time bit me (or rather, gummed me) on the leg, and the then landlord was so apologetic he pulled me a pint on the house. OK pint of London Pride, and a useful stop-off if you've hit one of the long gaps in the evening train service to Barking. E17Bee - 2 Dec 2005 17:50 |
