Been drinking here for about a year now. There are lots of real ales, decent spirits like Patron (coffee tequila shots) and the remarkable bourbon Woodford Reserve. The food is great without this place being a soulless gastro pub. Deals like 2-4-1 pizza on Mondays, some sports shown on the drop down screens and nearly always good music played, except when one barmaid in particular works,,,her sole mission in life is to play rap/hip hop/house/techno...all different word for complete and utter rubbish, samples and idiots talking along to cut and paste about bitches. Apart from that, utterly brilliant pub.

Popped in on way back from Rosemary Branch and thought how much nicer the New Rose was. Quick service, good choice of well kept beers, roaring fire and nice ambiance - all three generations enjoyed being there. Will definitely return.

Handy to have a pub with real ale in this area of Essex Road even if the beer is expensive. It's well kept and a reasonable choice even if the same beer choice seem to be on for months on end.

Popped in last night for a couple of drinks. Nice to get a pint in a glass with a handle. They had on Keltek King and Moorhouses Black Cat. We sat below the big screen but the football wasn't too loud that we couldn't chat. My friend ate and she enjoyed her pizza. Recommended if you're around the area.

Agree with previous posters - nice pub, good music (that's not so loud you can have a conversation with more than one person at a time), the pizzas on offer are nice & there's a projector on the ceiling that's used for big sporting events (ie Arsenal around these parts). Have asked to see the cricket here in the past which they happily sorted out for us even though it looked like a right faff. Also nice to get a pint in the ol' jar. Worth a visit.
