I really like this pub and always try to fit this one in when I am in the area. In spite of the beer being £5 per pint this was the only pub where I stayed for a second one today. Just as well though as the guv very generously bought drinks all round so I had a half on him.

I left our group in the Williams Tavern and made my way here. Mid evening and although busy the noise levels were low added to the ambience of the soft low lighting made a pleasant relaxing atmosphere. 10+ years since I last came here and not changed a bit. Superb boozer.

| Mighty Oak - Kings (was 3.9% before 2013) | 4.20 | | Warm and rather tired, lacking condition with little hop or citra-ness in the flavour. |

A lovely pub in a pleasant setting on a glorious summer evening. Yet the number of customers was not into double figures here at around 8pm.

Evening visit and both bars were open, some of the younger customers seemed surprised that you can not walk between the bars without leaving the pub. A splendid atmosphere in here tonight so I stopped for an additional pint.

Afternoon and already dark outside, this place was warm and welcoming. I had a good chat with the landlord who remembered me from previous visits.

I had been to the White Hart at Whitechapel only to find it closed,so I jumped on a bus to Mile End. I love this pub, but am not so keen on paying £4 for a pint. Cask ales were selling very well tonight.

Afternoon visit after a bus journey from Stratford at walking backwards pace as the Tube industrial dispute clearly pushed frenzied shoppers into their cars. All the time on the journey wondering will it be open or will it be closed. First visit here to an amazing family run free house. Lots of heritage and memories of past locals and happy times all in an area that must have been heavily bombed during WW2. We tried both bars.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Otley - O1 Original | 4.00 | | A very light coloured golden ale. On each pint the initial very fresh hoppy welcome in the head soon dissipated to a rather appley taste. It was the surroundings which made the day |
| Mighty Oak - Three Kings | 4.20 | | OK but undistinguished |

The pub is found in Bow, Greater London, E3 5RP.
Large canalside pub in all that remains of what was once a built up area. A real find, a pub seemingly stranded from other buildings in a sort of small park, from another era. A former Truman's house now in private ownership that remains completely 2 separate bars with the only way between them for customers being via the street doors and each bar has its own Gents and Ladies. The Public Bar has a rare East London 5s dartboard in regular use. One of 21 inter-war pubs across the country granted a Grade II listing by Historic England in 2015. 2 handpumps sport an ever changing range of small brewers' ales.
We have visited this pub 18 times, seen 29 different beers and tried 22 of them.
