| A ‘Timeout’ review mentions Dorothy Goodbody ales, and a Kray associated past whereby the twins bought the pub to be run by their Mum, Violet, & the article also alleges that Ronnie got lashed here before moving on to dispatch Jack ‘the Hat’ McV, although that’s incorrect from the brother/victim perspective. Anyway, I imagine it must look & feel very different now, than then, & was surprisingly rammed (resisting the temptation to use ‘mobbed’) on Sat around 20:00(?). The aforementioned DG beers were unfortunately just available in bottles, starting at £4.10, the handpumps offered Adnams Best, Adnams Old, TT Landlord, ~£3. Large chalkboard to rt of bar carries an unexpected list of bottled beer from around the world, strongest Belgian was Chimay Blue(9%), £4.30, for those of you who know about that sort of thing. Woody front bar with traditional tables & chairs, & some bench/pew seating; hardly a seat to be had & the same applied to another room round the back, and the beer garden to the rear. Not far from Pride of Spitalfields if you want to double-up in the area. trainman - 18 Nov 2008 18:40 |
