[[Kake]] tried the vegetable lasagne (£4.50), and was pleased to note that it contained actual vegetables (mainly courgettes) rather than fake meat. It was pretty good, and worth the price. The portion of chips that came with it was generous, and the chips were competent enough. [[doop]] had the vegetarian burger, which was "OK, and at least not full of peas". [[Bob]]'s scampi and chips (£5) were "not bad".

Pub in Whitechapel, round the back of the Royal London Hospital.

An RGL posse visited on a Sunday lunchtime in November 2007 as part of the East London Line pub crawl. Beers on offer were Directors and Theakstons Best, both £2.50/pint.

There was music on (80s pop), but not too loud. A flatscreen TV was showing sport with the sound off. There was a real fire in the fireplace round the side of the bar! They have a quiz machine too. There's some outdoor seating, some of it covered.

Sunday roast plus normal menu served noon-3:45pm Sundays. Not sure about other food times. The Sunday roast was advertised as coming with "crunchy vegetables, sage-onion stuffing, roast potatoes, Yorkshire pudding, and gravy". Confusingly, it was advertised at £6 on the menu and £7 on the blackboards.

The normal menu is fairly standard pub food, nothing exciting. Main courses cost between £4.50 (e.g. ham, egg, and chips; meat or vegetable lasagne) and £5 (e.g. omelette with a choice of fillings plus chips and salad; beef, chicken, veggie, or cheese burger; steak, chips and salad; cod, chips and salad). Nachos are £5, chips are £1; chips with cheese are £2; sandwiches (e.g. cheese; tuna mayo; bacon) are £4.50; filled jacket potatoes are £4.50.

Kake tried the vegetable lasagne (£4.50), and was pleased to note that it contained actual vegetables (mainly courgettes) rather than fake meat. It was pretty good, and worth the price. The portion of chips that came with it was generous. doop had the vegetarian burger, which was "OK, and at least not full of peas". The chips were competent enough.

Note that although it's not obvious on some maps, Turner Street extends right the way up through the hospital to Whitechapel Road, so you don't actually have to walk all the way around to get here.
