Late afternoon and most tables taken by 4:30.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mighty Oak - Kings (was 3.9% before 2013) | 4.20 | | Crisp. Fresh. Citra hops. Excellent. |

Quiet and hassle-free on Friday afternoon.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Mighty Oak - Maldon Gold | 3.80 | | Cool and crisp on a hot day. It hardly touched the sides. |
| Signature Brew - C-Sharp | 4.50 | | From keg. Just the job in this hot weather. Tart and lemony and refreshing. |

Busy on Sunday evening. Lots of groups eating Sunday roasts in the rear bar and the garden looks packed. I have to give my name and phone number before I can buy a drink. In 45 minutes in here this-evening I say hello to more acquaintances and recognise moire faces than in the past three months combined.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |

| East London (ELB) - Pale Ale | 4.00 | | This is superb. I actually ask the brewery if it is an improved recipe. Apparently not, just a case of absence making the heart grow fonder. |
| Mighty Oak - Captain Bob | 3.80 | | Good but a little bit sharp. My first pint of cask beer since March 21st. |
| Reunion - Opening Gambit | 3.80 | Not Tried |

This pub has for long benefitted from a busy matchday trade when Leyton Orient are at home. The new management have made it clear that it is to be a ‘home fans only’ pub (it has long been the pub of choice for visiting spectators – O’s fans knowing better than to come here). Today is the first test and they are rewarded with patronage by some of Leyton’s finest. By 8pm it is quite rowdy, the staff are looking anxious and there is not much beer left.
| Beer | ABV | Score | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 | | On stunningly good form and I have a couple. |
| East London (ELB) - Cowcatcher | 4.80 | Not Tried |

The pub is found in Leyton, Greater London, E10 5NA.
A large, High Street pub which was present in the centre of Leyton by 1863. As with many pubs in this area it was a Savill Brewery house, which passed in due course to Charrington’s. It was rebuilt in its present form in 1879 and obtained a full licence in 1882, having previously been a beer house. It was one of the last pubs in the area to retain a separate Public Bar, the partition being removed in around 2000. The pub was allowed to become run down in recent years, but re-opened under new management in July 2018, much refurbished. Stripped back, the pub now looks very beautiful inside and out. There is a large front bar, with five handpumps and an equally large rear room (formerly occupied by pool tables and originally by snooker tables) which is intended to become mostly a dining room. Outside seating in rear yard.
We have visited this pub 11 times, seen 30 different beers and tried 16 of them.
