Visited 09/12/25. Visited previously 28/04/23.
Cask was the Extra Pale and the Ruby Porter both from Three Acre, the Canny Canuck bitter from Thirsty Moose, plus two of their own brews, the Sublime session IPA and the East End Mild. Keg comprised the Hoxton Lager from Great Beyond, Budvar, their own Session IPA and their Disco Disco NEIPA, the Moon Curser pale ale and the Bonebox Cooler porter both from Neckstamper, the Mandarina fruited IPA from an Estonian brewery, the Benediktiner Weissbier, the Redoute sour from Otherworld plus three or four ciders.
Quality taproom by one of the entrances to the Westfield Stratford City Shopping Centre. Open fronted just inside the centre entrance, tiled flooring and the bar is a right-angled affair in the rear left-hand corner. A couple of tall stools at the bar counter plus several tall tables with tall stools dotted around the space plus a leather sofa in the corner to the right of the entrance. There is a traditional table footy game, and the venue was very busy on my early week early evening visit. Definitely the man creche a prefer to be left in whilst my wife makes occasional trips to the shopping centre.

We're down to 3 active handpumps in this shopping centre pub at the International end of Westfield, though these are at least varied with Thornbridge Market Porter, as well as a Pale and a green hop Best from breweries I failed to note. The craft keg selection remains as extensive as ever. All of these are listed on the screen above the bar.
There is outside seating, though at this time of year, the appeal is diminishing by the day. Inside, the after work crowd pass through fairly quickly after a pint or two on the way home, so getting a seat wasn't a problem.
Tap East remains a reliable source of well-kept and interesting beer where you might least expect it, though the walk from Stratford Station through Westfield can be very crowded with those visiting the less interesting units hereabouts.

A shopping Mall craft bar and brewpub with a large offering of continental beers, particularly Belgian. There were a couple of good cask beers on, Howling Hops Knock The Corners, an ESB and a particularly fine ELB Quadrant Stout, the place appears to be a winner and well attended on a late Saturday afternoon.
