The Travellers Friend, Woodford Green

Don't even think about going here if you are under 50. If so, you will immediately be asked for ID with a cold sneer, and even then, when my friend and I went there in the summer, they had no clue what a provisional driving license looked like. It's like they intend to keep people out - not good.

If you want real ale and look young in any way, take your custom elsewhere - the beer may be fine, but the cold reception you get off the bar staff will put you right off it.
