The Eleanor Arms, Bow

I moved onto Old Ford Road 18 months ago, and wandered into the Elly for a thirst quencher on the day I moved in, since then that pub has become the place I am proud to call my local. It feels like a proper pub, where the ales are good, the staff remember you and you are treated well. Other plus points include Asahi on tap, the eclectic music, and the fact that the landlord always has a good story to tell.

This pub really is something special in my opinion and I have brought many friends here all of whom have been surprised at this gem of a place.

I'm not one for getting into slanging matches online but I'd like to thank bowhammer for pointing out that since their poor review the customers of the Elly have made the effort to support their beloved pub after being told of what was posted. The regulars are such a mixed bunch of people that to me, the fact that some of them have made the effort to come and refute your claims is testament to the quality of the pub and the staff.

I would like to finish this off by pointing out that everyone is entitled to their view and if you don't like the place you're welcome to choose to go somewhere else... it just leaves more of the tasty ale and comfy sofa for the rest of us!!
