Busy on Sunday evening. Lots of groups eating Sunday roasts in the rear bar and the garden looks packed. I have to give my name and phone number before I can buy a drink. In 45 minutes in here this-evening I say hello to more acquaintances and recognise moire faces than in the past three months combined.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| East London (ELB) - Pale Ale | 4.00 | | This is superb. I actually ask the brewery if it is an improved recipe. Apparently not, just a case of absence making the heart grow fonder. |
| Mighty Oak - Captain Bob | 3.80 | | Good but a little bit sharp. My first pint of cask beer since March 21st. |
| Reunion - Opening Gambit | 3.80 | Not Tried |

| New River - London Tap | 3.80 | Not Tried | |
| New River - First Snow Ale | 4.00 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Leyton, Greater London, E10 5NA.
A large, High Street pub which was present in the centre of Leyton by 1863. As with many pubs in this area it was a Savill Brewery house, which passed in due course to Charrington’s. It was rebuilt in its present form in 1879 and obtained a full licence in 1882, having previously been a beer house. It was one of the last pubs in the area to retain a separate Public Bar, the partition being removed in around 2000. The pub was allowed to become run down in recent years, but re-opened under new management in July 2018, much refurbished. Stripped back, the pub now looks very beautiful inside and out. There is a large front bar, with five handpumps and an equally large rear room (formerly occupied by pool tables and originally by snooker tables) which is intended to become mostly a dining room. Outside seating in rear yard.
We have visited this pub 12 times, seen 34 different beers and tried 17 of them.
