Nice 'Pub' - Minging Burgers
If you want a drink in a trad pub. Good.

Thai food might also be good.

I just had a pint of London Pride, which was nice and a homemade rump burger.

Not sure what was going on there, but it tasted like someone had spilled either MSG or cumin into the pot. Maybe both.

It's the first burger I've failed to eat.

Not overtly horrible, just too strong, whatever it was.

Don't get me wrong though, beer was good, pub was nice.

Good stock, but Main Strip
I like a bar with a good stock.

Hendricks Gin, Grey Goose vodka, Bulmers Cider, Leffe, Fruli, Grolsch on tap and Illy coffee are all good signs to me.

WHilst on the main strip this bar is pretty decent. Usual Brick Lane mixed bag of folks that make people watching a fun thing to do.

Or there is always reading the graffiti in the toilets which carry some serious pearls of wisdom I can tell you.

Staff were reasonably friendly.

The rumours are true
I've just (this Monday) moved into Brick Lane to work as our office has moved from Clerkenwell. I had a recommendation that this place was good and it didn't disappoint.

- Tasty
- Friendly
- Authentic
- Cheap
- Awesome chips!
- Round tum

If you ever had the pleasure of going to the New Piccadilly Cafe and liked it, you'll love this place. While I was in there an American tourist walked out saying:

"I have only 4 must visit places in London while I'm here. This was 1 of them"

Not much to add to the other reviews here only that the service was really friendly. Lots of banter and chatter about 'Mum's home made chicken pie and her jam pudding' and a decent cuppa.

4 of us went and ordered Lasagne, Chicken Pie, Steak Pie and chips. With a side of cheesy broccoli. As the food landed, silence ensued. We hunkered down for a good feed and everyone loved it.

See you next week. We've found somewhere to replace our previous haunt.
