I came in here on an impulse as I was passing and saw that it was busy. It turns out to be quiz night, and I sink into a deep sofa with a pint for a short spell.

The pub is found in Bethnal Green, Greater London, E2 6LG.

This pub was present on Bethnal Green Road as the White Hart by 1835. Rebuilt in the late-nineteenth century, it is a typically big, solid street corner pub of that era. Traditionally a Truman’s house, the pub has suffered a series of names since the breakup of the Truman’s empire in the early-1990s, becoming successively Tommy Tuckers, Cock & Comfort, the Pleasure Unit, and since 2008 the Star of Bethnal Green. It has a fashionably stripped-back décor, with wooden floors and bare brick walls. Seating on two floors. Music-oriented.

We have visited this pub twice, seen 3 different beers and tried 2 of them.
