Good Beer Guide pub in Wanstead.
Kake, Ewan, Ruudboy and other Tubewalkers visited on a Saturday afternoon. There were quite a few other customers but we still managed to find seats. The interior is divided into a number of interconnected small rooms; the one we were in would probably have held about 12-14 people if they were all good friends. Decor is fairly traditional.
We sampled the Deuchars IPA (£2.30/pint), Doom Bar (£2.75/pint), and Scrumpy Jack (£2.85/pint). The 2008 Good Beer Guide says they have a large range of malt whiskies, as well as a fair number of bourbons and vodkas, but we didn't try any.
Food is served lunchtimes Mon-Sun, with an extension to 6pm on Fri-Sun. The menu is extensive, covering all the usual pub favourites. Mains cost between £4.75 (egg, chips, and beans) and £10 (lamb shank, or steak), but most are around £6.25 (e.g. lamb curry, chilli con carne, three-egg omelette). They even have a selection of vegetarian versions of pub staples (e.g. veggie sausages, nut cutlets, bean burgers, etc, all at £5.50). Filled rolls are £1.50, sandwiches from £2.50, french bread sandwiches from £3.25, and filled jacket potatoes from £3.50. Thirteen different desserts are available, priced between £3 and £4, including jam roly poly, spotted dick, chocolate deathwish, blackcurrant cheesecake, and creme brulee.
On top of all that, they have a number of specials, which looked pretty interesting; they were mainly fish dishes, and priced around £6-7. (The regular menu also has a fish section offering a choice of deep-fried breaded cod, plaice, haddock, etc).
They also have a curry night on Wednesdays, where you can get your choice of curry (including a vegetarian option) along with rice, chips, or naan, and a glass of wine, for £8 (served until 10pm). On the regular menu, they make a point of promoting the all-day breakfast, which looks rather good value at £6 for egg, bacon, sausage, black pudding, mushrooms, tomatoes, beans, fried bread, fried potatoes, bread + butter, and bottomless tea or coffee.
Quiz night is Monday from 8pm, according to a sign spotted in November 2007. There's also a pub dog!
