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; they'll staff the bar up there for you too.

In October 2007 we tried the homemade hummous (very garlicky - a good thing!), the grilled kidneys with black pudding and bacon, the fillet steak (about £16; cooked properly, with a very good peppercorn sauce on the side, though there may have been a bit too much connective tissue for [[bob]]'s liking), and the bread and butter pudding (very good in [[bob]]'s opinion, and the custard was top notch). In October 2008, [[Kake]]'s ribeye steak (£15.75) was again good; cooked as requested (rare), a very generous size, and accompanied by some tasty "fat chips".

On a Saturday evening visit in September 2008 it was busy but not rammed; [[Kake]] and [[bob]] managed to get a sofa. They seem to do a lot of their trade at lunchtimes.

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.

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

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.
