NOTE:The first thing I saw upon entering this temple of all things West Ham was a bloke in a Robbie Fowler Liverpool shirt. Oh. Having been let down so gently, it instantly became clear that this monster sized pub was a genuine oddity. Several different lounges curl around a huge central bar, conversation drifts gently, the beer is fine and the clientele varied. A new toy in the massive rear bar (this pub really is big, and I can't emphasise that enough) is a video jukebox with a toe-curling selection of eighties "classics" that had everyone under the age of 20 laughing, and everyone over that either wincing or staring in total incomprehension. A sea of pool tables drifts off hallucinogenically to one side. I suspect it could be a bit of a nightmare on a match day, but otherwise this truly is a marvellous place. Go on, visit it. West Ham need your money...
