A boozer built around music
The Old E keeps its calendar busy with indie, punk, drum and bass, DJs and regular community jam nights. There is a pool table, a full bar and live events through the week, including weekend shows and music festivals.
Outside
Terrace, garden and cricket nets
The enormous raised terrace out front catches the evening sun, while the beer garden gives the pub plenty of outdoor space. Behind the pub are cricket nets, still used today and linked to the W.G. Grace story.
