Inside

A proper local with room for a crowd

The central bar anchors a roomy interior with raised seating, a pool table and dartboards, including the rare Fives board. West Ham shirts and old Plaistow photographs add local character, while several screens show live sport. Reviews also highlight the welcoming staff and well-kept Guinness.

Outside

A covered garden at the back

There is a partially covered beer garden behind the pub, giving you somewhere to sit outside when the weather allows. Food options include sandwiches and visiting street food, so check what is being served when you arrive.
