This was a surprising find for a
corner pub known for its live music on one of the busiest corners of Stratford.
In the summer, the licensee does a great job of attracting customers with a
large floral window-box display above the pub’s first floor. Inside, the pub
was quite quiet as we came in; there were just a few locals chatting to the
Australian barman on duty. Luckily, he’d heard about our ale trail so grabbing
a scan wasn’t a problem. But what I couldn’t see was how they could fit a live
band in the pub every Saturday evening. The beer was in good form and had a
nice sweet taste similar to mead but without its strength, but it was too
strong for my drinking buddy. Our main problem was time as we only had an hour
or so left of drinking time before we had to catch our bus home.
