Comment added by Kake: East Green is 1.60/half. Got here at 2:30pm on a Tuesday afternoon and there were maybe 9 or 10 people in, nice buzz of conversation, fairly quiet background music.

Good Beer Guide pub near Tower Bridge.

The interior is all pine tables and cream covered chairs; there are also a couple of sofas and a fireplace.

There's a small room in the basement which can be booked - it's a little bit cramped in there, and basically set up for dining more than drinking. They will do table service down there for both food and drinks though. They also have a larger function room upstairs which will hold around 80 people and is free to book if you have more than about 25 in your party.

Although this is definitely a pub, where you go up to the bar to order drinks and you can come in for a drink without dining, there was a little weirdness on one lunchtime visit when the staff seemed to assume we were in for lunch, and asked us a number of questions when we arrived instead of just letting us sit down and send someone to the bar. If this happens to you, don't be put off! Just tell them you're in for drinks and they'll leave you in peace.

Has a full range of very well kept Adnams beers, all priced at around £3. They also have Aspall cider. The food is of the gastropub variety, and is very good. They also stock wasabi crackers.

Food is served 11:30am-4pm and 5pm-10:30pm Monday to Saturday, and 11:30am-4pm and 5pm-10pm Sunday (as of April 2008).

Bob, DrHyde, and others sampled the food in October 2007. The homemade houmous we tried was very garlicky (a good thing). Dave enjoyed his grilled kidneys with black pudding and bacon. Bob's fillet steak (about £16) was cooked properly, though there may have been a bit too much connective tissue for his liking - the peppercorn sauce was very good though. The bread and butter pudding was very good as well, and the custard was top notch.

Various combinations of Kake, bob, Martin, DrHyde, Nick, etc have visited here several times now, and it looks like becoming one of the London Perlmongers' regular social meet venues.

On a Saturday evening visit in September 2008 it was busy but not rammed; Kake and bob managed to get a sofa. The beer was still good.
