I’m pleased to see that this pub is becoming popular amongst my fellow Leyton residents. It would be nice to see more locally-brewed beers amongst the selection though.

| Big Penny (formerly Truman's) as of late 2022 contract brewed - Original Porter | 4.50 | | Dark and fruity. |
| Robinsons - Tom & berry | 4.60 | | Tastes like a regular bitter with a splash of Ribena. |

The kitchen at this pub opened last Friday and this is clearly bringing in new custom. Plus it is quiz night. The two combined mean that seats are at a premium tonight.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Fellowship Porter | 5.10 | | Quite probably the best London Porter around just now. |
| Magic Rock - High Wire NZ | 5.50 | | Golden, mellow hoppiness. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Skinner's - Betty Stogs Bitter | 4.00 | Not Tried | |
| Adnams - Old Ale | 4.10 | Not Tried | |

The calm before the storm on Friday evening (this pub was destined to be drunk dry on Saturday afternoon).
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Superb, teetering on five stars. |
| Late Knights - Crack of Dawn Pale Ale | 3.90 | | Golden and crisp, hoppy and fragrant. But this pint a bit lacking in condition. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |

I sense that I am starting to become comfortable in this pub. In mid-evening, with a group of friends after the football.

With a CAMRA Pub Crawl starting here, and the pub quiz beginning at 8pm, it is really quite busy with standing room only at the bar. Nice to see that one of the quiz teams features local celebrity Russell Slade amongst its number, and he takes a Pig’s Ear Festival flyer.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Adnams - Old Ale | 4.10 | | Classic old ale. |
| East London (ELB) - Nightwatchman | 4.50 | | Beautiful, dark, beer. |

| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| Truefitt - Infant Hercules | 5.50 | | Full-blown Black IPA. Rather lovely. |

Early evening visit and the pub is rapidly filling up as Leyton Orient have a home match tonight and this pub is an obvious place to take on pre-match liquid. A fifth beer was available but I forget the name.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Bath Ales - Gem Bitter | 4.10 | | A malty best bitter with a toffee taste. |
| Adnams - Topaz Gold | 4.00 | | Golden colour, malt and citrusy hops. Needs just a little bit more oomph. |
| Sharp's - Coaster (or Cornish Coaster) | 3.60 | Not Tried | |
| Brains - The Rev James Original | 4.50 | Not Tried |

Strictly-speaking, this late evening visit was probably superfluous. But my bus dropped me right outside, and I was tempted by the thought of a pork pie.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Thornbridge / Thornbridge Hall - Jaipur | 5.90 | | Already the best-seller here and set to be the house beer. |
| Brains - SA | 4.20 | Not Tried | |

The pub is found in Leyton, Greater London, E10 5OJ.
In High Road, initially this pub existed as a short-term ‘Pop-Up’ pub, open for the duration of the 2012 Olympic and Paralympic Games. Then closed for nearly a year, it re-opened on a permanent basis in August 2013. The pub is housed in part of the former Leyton Town Hall. It has several different rooms in which to drink, and the toilets are housed deep in the dungeons. The interior of the pub is now very much more homely and comfortable than it appears in my early photo on this site from its pop-up days. Reclaimed by landlord and closed on October 2022, after alleged non-payment of rent. Re-opened under operation of Remarkable Pubs with a change of name in September 2024.
We have visited this pub 125 times, seen 256 different beers and tried 139 of them.
