I nice pub spoilt by the over emphasis on pool tables and TV football - always seems a bit rowdy but otherwise has the potential to be nice...

it's only redeeming feature is its toilet after the half hour journey from Oxford Circus....
Typical station pub which seems to smell of disinfectant and stale cigarettes everytime I go in (and no it isn't me....)
Give it a very wide berth...

A real 'hole - I gave up drinking here after the local drunks started chucking bricks across the room. If only the quiz would relocate to the Nags Head....

Well all I can say about the negative comments below is that they must have deserved it!! Having spent the past three years regularly drinking at this pub, I consider it to be the best pub in the area, very friendly and Roger is a very placid kind of guy. Admittedly it does attract a few idiots who think they can push other customers and the staff around, but at least I haven't seen any bricks being thrown across the bar, unlike in The Village.
An excellent range of beers, well kept and supplemented by a good range of bottled beers.
If you don't like the place then bugger off and let the rest of us enjoy it - I for one will be happily enjoying my pint whilst reading a newspaper in one of the few places locally that doesn't land you in a fight for doing so!!
Now if only I can finally convince Roger to to start serving food......

The Grove Tavern, Walthamstow
Needs a refurb to clean it up. Fantastic old building with great big windows let down by being a bit grim on the inside....no doubt some chain will snap it up in the future, which will be a shame. Please please please repait this pub a lighter colour on the inside!!
