My Nan and Grandad used to sing in this place when it was a pub. I don't know how to describe it really except it reminded me of the Castle Round the corner and a customer told me they are the same owners! It seems that the kitted both pubs out of a charity shop and ripped up some old bedspreads to cover the tables. Says it all really? Covered tables in a pub? They don't even serve food!. The drink selection was fair enough except that the wine that was served up was undrinkable, and I had to wait while the three girls finished their conversation about a bloke they fancy. I ended up with a pint of bitter that was'nt bad but expensive. They have jazz of sorts on a Sunday so may pop back then as it was dead when I went in. Smoke was unbearable and I smoke but they have a tent out the back where you can get fresh air.

I cannot work out if this place has just opened or is about to close as there is hardly any stock! A very scarey place though. I was the only person in there without a scar and 2 of the customers were woman!

After getting past the scarey hoodies on bikes loitering outside smoking herbal 'medicines' I entered and was shocked at the change to this once nice pub that was the Chesnuts. They have made it into a poor version of one of the better Weatherspoon Pubs. I looked at the menu and it oozed frozen food so I decided to go later to the Fizzi Italian next door. I went down the other day to Wood Street to The Pig and Whistle and I think they are doing the same sort of thing there but was told by the builders that that is going to be a gastro pub. The Fish stall has even moved up to Woodford! Massive souless place now. Such a shame.
