| Eighteen months into its current incarnation it's only fair to allow this one a re-evaluation. As somebody noted elsewhere on this site, real ale and Sky live football is becoming an increasingly rare combination, but it can be found here. Ales on offer include a selection by Adnams plus others including, at various times, Youngs and Deuchars. All reasonably kept and served. The crowd is fairly reasonable for this area, although that Chingford stalwart the cowboy builder on coke can be present in numbers. I've yet to eat here but the food looks and smells good, and unlike the JDW place across the road it might not have spent its entire existence in a deep freeze or microwave. The staff are friendly and usually efficient. Disabled access and toilet. Martinl - 8 Jan 2008 20:00 |

| What can I say? Was turd as the Coppermill, is turd as the Obelisk. A fitting venue for those lagered-up gimps getting ready for Chans. A hole. Rotski - 19 Jul 2006 16:15 |
| Closed down for refurbishment and has now reopened as The Obelisk, although the signage could well give the impression it's called Smith and Jones. That's the name of the bar chain, who also have The Garden in Islington. This is nowhere near as good. Prominent signs also announce that those under 21 are not allowed. Since the Prince Albert opposite doesn't allow under 25s, the end esult is that those trying to have a quiet drink in Wetherspoon's face even more noisy, drunken chavs who are 21, 20, 19, 18 or probably less. Great. Martinl - 3 Jul 2006 19:41 |
| Usual chain pub. Underpaid untrained staff. If you are a Guinness drinker forget it. Although a lot of pub staff seem to be unable to pour a decent pint of guinness nowadays. The "Stella" tasted a bit off too.Not one to pay a return visit to. Reginald_Guinness - 29 Mar 2006 11:36 |
