Cask was a single hand pump out of three providing TT LL. Keg offering was Madri, Peroni, Asahi, Brooklyn Stonewall Inn IPA, Roadie, Lucky Saint, Camden Pale Ale, Camden Hells, Jubel, the fruit berry beer from Beavertown, Neck Oil, Aspall & Guinness.

This is a large corner pub with some green space opposite. There is some seating out the front. Inside it is bare boarded, with some slate tiles in parts and a patterned tile skirt along the bar counter which is on the rear wall as you enter from a corner door. There is a raised seating area to the immediate right of the entrance and the area in front of the bar counter has a leather banquette on the opposite wall serving tall round tables with high backed stools the other side thereof. There are some tall tables with tall unbacked stools between this seating configuration and the bar counter. There is a conservatory type area on the wall behind the leather banquette with regular tables and chairs occupied by some casual diners on my visit. Beyond the left-hand edge of the bar counter is a large room with very impressive skylight and many regular tables and chairs set for diners. An impressive venue but let down by the mundane nature of the beer options.

A large 19th century pub close to Snaresbrook station. Little, if anything is left of the original interior; bare bricks predominate though there's a spacious conservatory and a garden. There's a huge array of beer and cider taps as well as London Pride on pump.

The crowd here is extremely mixed; some look as though they've got lost on the way to Notting Hill. There are a few old lags, some Essex boys and scantily clad women who look like they've walked in from the set of TOWIE. There are also several security guards who mingle with the crowd which isn't something I like. Perhaps there's often trouble here?

Overall I liked the place though on a Saturday night it's very crowded and noisy; conversation is almost impossible. I would advise visiting on a week day.

A large trendified pub not far from the tube. The interior has a couple of nice touches such as the conservatory-style extension and chandeliers but any real remains of the old pub have long gone. Seems to be aimed at the mums and prams brigade during the day, with the boho yoof in the evening. To this end there is an emphasis on food and on the drinks side there are a number of high-end keg lagers to choose from plus a couple of safe ales (Doom Bar and Pride) and Westons cider (though a collection of old clips attached to a pillar seems to indicate that they get better ones occasionally). So I took a punt on the Meantime keg and it’s safe to say I won’t be getting that again anytime soon, though that’s not the pub’s fault. The Doom Bar sampled by another crawlee was OK but nothing special. It wasn’t a particularly cosy place to sink a pint and on a cold winter’s day as the lack of heating meant our coats stayed on. There’s a large garden to the rear which I guess would be good in the summer. I doubt I’ll be making a return though, there was little of any real note.
