This used to be my local for many years. Sadly no longer.
I was in there just the other day (after three years absense). I was so plased to discover the magic remains.
Easily the best pub I've ever been in. A true (and diverse) communinity spirit, excellent service, and fantastic beer.
The purists choice.
P.S.
Just for the record (okay, it was seven years ago), I had the best Sunday Roast I've ever had - sorry Mum. Two courses and only a fiver.

This pub is the perfect example of the decline of JDW in recent years. On Thursday, Friday and Saturday night, you can expect hooligans with bad attitude wall-to wall. Any other time you can look forward to alcoholics getting steadily wasted until the giro runs out. Service is usually shocking and everything (I mean everything - glasses, plates, tables, toilets...) is filthy. A wide birth is recommended.
On the plus side. It ain't The Coopers, or the Chadwell Arms. And to be fair, there is one (only one) barman, a stocky bald Irishman, who a a total professional. Sadly, I can't see him staying long (Rated 3 - for the Irishman).

Now closed. Will surely be 30 over-priced, cheaply built flats, sometime very soon.
