Despite Quinnos experience below I found a lively and seemingly thriving local community pub, I agree the grey walls don't exactly excite and clashes with the bright blue bar front. There's five handpumps on the bar and they seemed to be promoting local beers with three on, Beerblefish Best Bitter and Hoppy Pale Nos 19, which was very good, along with ELB Jamboree.Lots of pub events were advertised including comedy nights and regular Drag Queen nights, music and quiz's It was decent.

* CAMRA heritage pub. Looked closed from the outside and might as well have been, I was the only punter. All the woodwork has been grey glooped and, the leaded windows and glasswork aside, there’s little actual heritage value. Cold, no lights in the back bar or the gents. A single cask (Beerblefish, whoever the heck they are) which was awful, I poured it away outside. Crap - there’s nothing here to justify the trip out. Astonishingly, it’s GBG’24 listed.

Situated in E11 not E10, this backstreet pub is a bit of a devil to reach, my visit precipitated by its citation on CAMRA’s list of pubs with historic interiors, this being of Special National Historic Interest; I’ll leave the written and pictorial description to said site, but the mauve colour scheme has been toned down a bit.
The place retains its separate two-room format and is part boarded, part carpeted, with some lovely stained glass clerestory windows. Customers were a mixed bunch with some friendly older locals, then younger more trendy incomers, a good Rolling Stones soundtrack playing on arrival, a place where drag acts strut their stuff come Sundays.
There were two unclipped pumps, then one I couldn’t make out as I’d arrived in the wrong room and couldn’t be bothered to go outside to use a different entrance, making me look a bit foolish in the process, so having to make do with a half of Estrella at a painful £3.00, served in tandem by a friendly barman and barmaid.
This is an ok pub which has a cask beer – albeit in the wrong room – and heritage interior; worth a look and would have got a higher mark with a better cask lineup.
