The pub is found in Stratford, Greater London, E15 4BQ.
This pub was present on Stratford Broadway by 1896, although until at least the 1920s it was licensed as a ‘Refreshment Room & Beer Retailer’, rather than as a full-blown pub. A Watney’s house, it traded for many years as the Two Puddings. In later years the pub did not have a good reputation, dispensing with cask beer some time in the 1990s and relying on a late night ‘disco’ trade. In 2001 the pub was revamped and relaunched as Latin ¼, which was again a late-night party venue. Relaunched once more in 2016 as the Refreshment Room, this is essentially a return to recognisable pub values and with a reference to the pub’s history in its name. The large, single bar area is accessed via a short corridor between two retail units. It has modern furnishings and street art on the wall. There is a rear garden. Three handpumps on the bar. Closed spring 2023, probably for financial reasons. Re-opened with name change autumn 2023.
We have visited this pub twice, seen 2 different beers and tried both.
