The Adam & Eve, Homerton, E9

A deceptively large pub that extends back some way,despite its size it retains the feel of a proper boozer and one I quite liked, my ELB Pale Ale was in fine fettle, nice pub.

This is a large rambling pub with various interconnected areas. Remnants of the original layout are evident with such things as a remaining upper section of a leaded glass screen and the lines on the mosaic floor showing where the partitions and indeed the bar itself, once were. Unusual to note that the pub was established in 1915, during the war when I'd imagine most available labour and indeed potential customers were in France and Belgium but I suppose the older craftsmen remained at home. The bar is centrally located in the front area of the pub, a slightly raised area to the left side and an area with wood panelling, clear glass mirrors and a pool and darts area on the right, an elaborate gilded ceiling and beams which looked splendid, the pub is further enhanced by some quality stained glass to the entrance lobby and a skylight. Beyond the bar, to the rear is another large room with a garden beyond, there is a curious L-shaped pool table in here, bet you can set some fiendish snookers on that. Excellent and efficient service here especially as around 20 of us appeared at once without warning, beers as listed by BF below. Food served with a few themed nights listed and seemingly an ethical sourcing policy. A very nice pub indeed with some great features and a fine range of beers, I could lose a lot of time in here given the chance.

A very interesting interior to this 1915 built pub,situated mid terrace on the High Street.The bar is central,with two wings either side.To the left is a raised section while to the right there is further seating,lots of wood panelling throughout.The ceiling has a gold finish,while to the rear there is a large room,housing a quirky L shaped pool table,and ,further back,what looks like a small dining area.It's good to see a large interior which hasn't been completely opened out,and there was a friendly welcome from behind the bar for the large crawl which descended. There were six handpumps drawing Hackney APA and Best Bitter,BAD Co. Whiter Shade of Pale,Five Points Railway Porter,and ELB Jamboree and Pale (very decent).A good selection with lots of Locale,I will certainly return and spend more time in the relaxing atmosphere.
