Late evening visit. Quite boisterous in the front bar.

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.
| Redemption - Hopspur | 4.50 | | On stunningly good form and I have a couple. |
| East London (ELB) - Cowcatcher | 4.80 | Not Tried | |

Great to see this pub revived. It has prime position in Leyton, but had more or less run out of customers in its sorry state. Jammed full of people tonight. Four different Leyton breweries are represented on the bar and I tried at least one from each.
| Signature Brew - Roadie - All Night IPA | 4.30 | | Very pale and hoppy. A current favourite of mine. |
| Neckstamper - Elbow Crooker | 4.00 | | From key-keg. Hazy gold, juicy and lovely. |
| East London (ELB) - Cowcatcher | 4.80 | | Golden and bitter. |
| East London (ELB) - Mandarina Session Pale | 4.10 | | Golden. Quite sharp and bitter. |
| Nirvana - Karma | 1.00 |  | (Strength of beer actually 0.5%). Poured from a bottle. Dry, woody, thin and spicy. I didn’t like it at all. |
| East London (ELB) - Foundation Bitter | 4.20 | Not Tried | |
