Authentic East End Vibe, Unforgettable Roast

Stepping into the heart of Stratford, one finds a timeless treasure cloaked in authenticity and old-world charm at this quintessential English pub. It's a place that feels lovingly worn, as though it has seen countless stories unfold within its well-aged wooden walls. The aroma of sizzling fish and golden fries greets you with a friendly embrace, reminiscent of joyous Sundays. But here, it's every day that you have the choice to relish in a ‘proper’ Sunday roast topped with deliciously rich gravy that might just tempt many a fork to 'accidentally' tick a neighbor's plate.

Despite its shabby façade, the pub pulses with a vibrant human tapestry – warm staff weaving harmony with patrons savoring hearty meals and cool ales under delightfully low-slung ceilings. Tables may be sticky, the potatoes not always the best, but what it lacks in culinary perfection, it makes up for with sheer character and ambiance. The delightful young lady behind the bar epitomizes hospitality and seems ready to procure the sun for those seeking comfort in their pints. With real ale flowing and occasional bouts of afar karaoke battles echoing through its halls, this pub is pure East End nostalgia, offering good cheer and atmosphere aplenty. While new management navigates its beer stock woes, the selection available – especially that pie and mash – remains diversity’s tapestry for one's palate, leaving this reviewer with fond anticipation of returning soon. — Jasper Griddle
