The Crown and Crooked Billet, Woodford Green

Very disappointed when I walked into this for the first time. From the outside, it looks promising - like a warm, country pub. Inside, however, it resembles a Harvester, and appears to be a chain by all accounts. Just one real ale on tap, and a distinctly stale, tapid atmosphere. A shame, as it probably was very good before it became a chain.

The Travellers Friend, Woodford Green

Went to this pub for the first time, and was surprised by the friendliness of the place. Not what I was expecting after some of the reviews. The place didn't go silent, I was served with a smile by the landlady, and was free to enjoy a quiet drink with my girlfriend. The ale is excellent, probably the best of any pub in the area. Servers 4 bitters plus a guest ale.

The George, Wanstead

Cheap, excellent beer and sky sports (thought this was banned from Wetherspoons pubs). Better than average.
