The Duke of Edinburgh, Wanstead

This pub is re-opening this evening after a brief refurb (looks like a branch of All Saints to me). Nevertheless this has to be a welcome move. Pub is serving craft beers from Hackney and gastro type food.
At last a rival locally for the Nightingale, which has become very tired of late.
I shall report back as soon as I have had a couple of their beers.
The pub is also going to have a major refurb sometime in the New Year.
The question would be are they able to drive out the old customers and replace with the new?
Good luck with that one.

looks like you got your wish Dodgydave,this once great pub is now closed.
Ruined by the last couple of managers/owners and a clientele that make the Jockey in Shameless seem normal.
Bring our old pub back please.

The Nightingale, Wanstead

Popped in there a few Tuesdays back. Good selection of ales and nice friendly pub. Also there was a quiz on which I have to say was very good and lots of interesting questions which created a good atmosphere all round. Well worth a visit.
