Decent beer in a decent and somewhat eccentric pub, wonderful. Customers are invited to light a candle in memory of the late David Bowie or you could go to another part of the pub and look at the 1960s Harrison Marks calendar pages.

| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | | A fresh cask on and in seriously good nick. |

Mid-afternoon and surrounded by loads of people scoffing rather good-looking roast dinners.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Robinsons - Magnum I.P.A. | 4.10 | | OK, it does have a hop content, but I found this to be a predominately malt-led, Golden Ale (rather than what I’d call an IPA). |

Late afternoon and quiet. Quaint backstreet local in a villagey environment which seems miles away from the noise hubbub and bustle from nearby.

Just after opening time 4pm vice 11am as quoted in GBG. Another back street local yet to become a gastropub.

Making the most of the good weather, Robert and I met up for a couple of pints in the back garden before heading off to watch the football elsewhere. Unfortunately, I managed to pick two particularly bland beers.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Jennings (since closure now brewed at Marston's) - Queen Bee | 3.60 | | Very pale, soft, easy drinking and a bit bland. It contains honey, although we were hard pressed to spot it. |
| Caledonian - Double Czech | 4.50 | | A pale lager-style beer that tastes more like a light bitter. Not obvious what is ‘double’ about it. |
| Adnams - Broadside | 4.70 | Not Tried | |
| Timothy Taylor - Landlord | 4.30 | Not Tried | |
| St Austell - Tribute | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
| Mighty Oak - Juggernaut | 4.60 | Not Tried | This one got the thumbs up from Robert. |

The pub is found in Walthamstow, Greater London, E17 9LP.
This pub was almost certainly present by the sixteenth century, opposite the church at the heart of Walthamstow Village. By the 1850s it was in the ownership of Francis Wragg, who also ran a coach service from Walthamstow to London. In 1859, Wragg demolished the original inn and moved the licence to the present building where he was better able to combine his two businesses. By the late 1800s, beer was supplied by Huggins and Co. Brewery of Westminster, later passing to Watney’s. Today, there are pavement tables at the front, a front bar, a rear bar where Italian food is served and a pleasant back yard. The pub is ‘cat friendly’.
We have visited this pub 7 times, seen 17 different beers and tried 9 of them.
