A presentation night for two 2013 CAMRA awards. The Eleanor is the East London & City Branch ‘Community Pub of the Year’ and also joint winner of the ‘East London Pub of the Year’ (an award shared with the Pride of Spitalfields, E1). A good crowd in for the occasion.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Shepherd Neame - Mild | 3.50 | | Very impressive black mild – I hope this becomes more widely available. |
| Shepherd Neame - Canterbury Jack | 4.10 | | In my view, probably the best of the regular SN beers. |
| Shepherd Neame - Kent's Best | 4.10 | Not Tried | |
| Hook Norton - Lion (aka Cotswold Lion) | 4.00 | Not Tried |

Late-evening visit with a CAMRA group. We are around 16-strong and more than double the number of people in the pub. A nice, cosy, friendly atmosphere.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tring - Side Pocket for a Toad | 3.60 | | |
| Oakham - Inferno | 4.00 | | A very pale beer. Sharp and well-hopped. |
| Shepherd Neame - Kent's Best | 4.10 | Not Tried |

My first visit here, and I was impressed. I had to ask directions on my way, and was told "he only wants yuppies in there" fortunately this advice was wrong. I had a good chat with the landlord about Shepherd Neame beers, and the recently opened Westfield shopping centre at Stratford.
