Tiny free house one street off Brick Lane, carpets, coal fire, a piano anyone can play and a bar crew that keeps four regular casks plus a Five Points guest in perfect nick. Regulars and City escapees side by side.

Order This
A pint of the changing Five Points cask, or Fuller's London Pride if you want the house standard; add a pickled egg.
Best Time
Weekday early evening before it fills; Sunday afternoon for the roast crowd.
Know Before You Go
Very small and always busy; expect to stand. Pub food weekday lunchtimes only. Real fire in winter. Dogs welcome. Monday nights customers play their own records. Look for: The little Victorian bar-back and the piano wedged into the corner; the pub was originally the Romford Arms.
