| Pretty dreadful pub that is supposed to be one of the rare "away friendly" venues near the Boleyn Ground. It didn't seem particularly friendly to anyone when I was there, although nor was it particularly hostile. I was impressed however by the liberal attitude to the youths crowded round the side entrance who were trying to turn it into some sort of brown cafe. This was certainly more sophisticated fare than the depressing range of banal fizzy pop that passed for beer in here. The barstaff were quite game though. But generally, this is a pub for those who want to get drunk and have very little care for how that happens. Hotfoot - 19 Jan 2011 19:30 |
| This is just a massive pub, high ceilings, not many tables, which I guess just makes its money on matchdays. Not really a place to have a quiet pint. No ale, but had an okay Guinness. Went to the takeaway "Chillies" next door but didn't want to get friendly with the mouse around my feet! sefpacific - 16 Apr 2010 12:03 |
| Havent drunk in there for a while. Decent enough on match days but a complete khazi thereafter.... Vera Lynn started her carreer there back in the 30's as she was originally an east ham girl (not that she would admit now the inverted snob) bless her. ThePewter - 12 Dec 2008 11:29 |
| OK on West Ham matchdays, Friday nights are to be avoided like the plague. Full of tracksuited,baseball capped chavs with knives, plus loads of East Euro mafia types. Not thanks. whogaarden - 10 Feb 2008 00:06 |
| As a West Ham fan, love this pub on match days. You rarely get trouble and they always have plenty of staff serving when it's busy. Away supporters are welcome here and love the atmosphere when The Hammers score! It's a bit spit and sawdust, and toilets are more often than not out of order and the hand dryers are falling off the wall but I like it here. anonymous - 19 Mar 2007 01:59 |
