Went in over Easter weekend. Vey busy, good Greene King Abbot & IPA plus Ruddles Best as a guest ale.Service friendly and fast in spite of staff covering bistro and hotel duties as well. Tasty food good value - comfortable seating and outside courtyard. All in all a pleasant experience.

Continues to provide good service, even if a bit slow. Clientele and staff are friendly and the gaeden's a great spot in the summer. Like many JDWs a fine collection of historic,local photographs. I've had pints there that weren't to my taste - cask covers such a wide range of flavours - but never a badly kept beer.

The King Edward VII, Stratford
I've always had a friendly reception at the Eddie and the food's good & varied as well as the beer.
It's an unusual layout with varied furiture, lots of dark wood and the building itself has a relaxing atmosphere.

Generally speaking the ales are consistently well kept, with Fullers ESB, London Pride and Discovery usually available.
The atmosphere is different depending on whether it's a major match night or not, music or no special events.
Events are well notified, so it's easy to adjust the times of your visit depending on what you're looking for.
The back room has space for quite large parties and the clientele is varied, with quite a few regular groups and individuals. Like others, I hope the Sweet William Brewery is reopened. Its London Mild was a triumph.
As to the bar staff, like with most pubs, treat them with respect and friendliness and you'll find those qualities returned. As a regular re-visitor, by choice, I take my money where I prefer to slake my thirst.
There are other excellent pubs in the area, but I rate ths one very highly. Mike

The Nags Head, Walthamstow
A latish Saturday evening visit and both the London Pride and the Timothy Taylor Landlord were in excellent condition, plus three more handpumps being busily employed by the friendly bar staff! The partially canopied garden with its heaters and several tables provides a welcoming spot for smokers and non smokers alike. The interior was harder to assess due to its popularity, but service was swift and welcoming despite the large demand for attention from what seemed to me a cheerful and enthusiastic bunch of customers.
