I found myself thoroughly impressed by this quaint establishment, characterized by its charming glazed-tile exterior and strategic street corner placement. Despite its size, the interior is anything but cramped, thanks to the clever use of several wall mirrors. The front section boasts a few high tables, transitioning to more traditional wooden furniture as you move towards the rear.

With four handpumps on display, I wasted no time and opted for the Oakham Citra, which proved to be in impeccable condition. The welcoming atmosphere extended from the well-kept bar, and while the menu seemed to focus on pies with upmarket fillings, my visit was solely dedicated to enjoying a refreshing beer. The pies, with their appealing presentation, certainly caught my eye, although my culinary exploration was limited to savoring the brew.

I seem to be unlucky with this one as I always end-up here at the end of a long day with notes either sketchy or non-existent. Sentiments are similar to my review of 11 years ago, it’s a beautiful burgundy and cream tiled exterior whilst the interior is fairly basic, a bit tight and scruffy but decent enough – knocked-around too much to really linger though the red and black wallpaper is striking. Stayed for pie & mash and we were all happy with our chow. Untappd tells me I had a pint of Adnams Mosaic to which I commented ‘lovely’ so let’s call that an NBSS 4 and my rating an 8. GBG'24 listed, which is fair enough,

March 2012
A small narrow pub with a charming tiled façade, located on a street corner. The inside has been modernised but is more tasteful than some of the ghastly interiors London can offer. A fair range of four ales were on and the keg and cider choices were decent too. It was the end of a long crawl and I have no idea what I was given to drink but I was happy enough to consume it. The place seemed friendly and was pretty busy. I’d happily pop back to sample again and maybe this time make some proper notes. Rated 7

A first for us a few nights ago into this late Victorian corner pub and what a treat! The most noticeable thing on arrival is the beautiful glazed burgundy tilework with raised scroll motifs, the name picked out on cream coloured glazed tiles to the fascia, all of which probably dates from around 1900.
Inside it's a very dinky place, broadly L-shaped with bar to the rear, which is attractive and probably original, featuring an unusual brass handrail; to the rear is a lovely brass Victorian cash register. The floor is bare boarded and there's wainscoting to the rear, above which are some old prints. A couple of mirrors adorn the wall, which are covered with black and red floral wallpaper; wooden fittings are dark lacquered with lighting comprising mainly glass and brass hanging lanterns with similar sconce lights and gas effect spherical sconce lights to the rear snug.
There's food, but it's along the likes of pies, or what looked like stew and mash, all of which looked very good.
The pub was full barring one table - it's a small pub - and most customers seemed to be under 40. The staff were very friendly and efficient, delivering my pint of Adnams Sea Strange to my table and for just £4.20 - very good it was too. Sambrook's Wandle was also on offer, though two pumps were sadly unused. In all, there was a great feel to the place.
This makes for a good double with The Florists Arms next door and is a must-visit if in E2 - for once, you'll look forward to a pub that gives you the hump.
