As I wasn't particularly impressed with the London Drinker BF I decided to search this pub out for the first time. It was pretty crowded after work on Friday with a fair number of suits from the City having a drink before going home. Will probably come back when it is less busy to get a better feel for the pub.

The pub is found in Spitalfields, Central London, E1 5LJ.

Down a side street off Brick Lane, this is a popular pub and one of the regular outlets for Crouch Vale beers from Essex including the award winning Brewers Gold. Central bar serves an L shaped room with lots of dark wood and red velour. Established before 1891, this pub was historically called the Romford Arms and was owned by Ind Coope and a reminder of these days survives in the form of a brewery mirror in the snug bar. The name change to Pride of Spitalfields came in the early 1980s. The pub survived an arson attack in the early 2000s.

We have visited this pub 21 times, seen 14 different beers and tried 9 of them.
