Pembury Tavern

i'm going to biddles tomorrow night - it seems like a nice place, bit pricey at three quid a pint tho!

has anyone been into 'the ship aground' by lea bridge? whenever i'm that way i always pop into the young's pub next door instead...

The ship aground is a locals for locals pub. Food is not as good as the youngs pub.

Yeah they do do Plethora there still, but not regularly.

I used to live at the Pembury.

Ooh, that's got me wondering who you are! I used to hang with someone who lived there.

My classic quote about the Pembury was when the neighbours were complaining about patrons "snorting K off the pavement" out front! :D :D

God I wish I'd brought my camera....

if you are there you may as well walk 5 minutes north fyrther along the canal to the Anchor and Hope, one of the finest pubs in London.

i know the one, by springfield park. lots of swans on the river there too.

it's a lovely pub, looks and feels like it's time-warped from the fifties sometimes :)

Wait...uhm :D

I got off the 253 about 7-ish that evening and peeked into BB, like usual, to see what fun other people are having then carried on down Lwr Clapton Rd. I saw the back of maybe a mixed race woman with lovely hair, all sticky up. She was drinking white wine. Sitting on the sofa, right by the door.

Don't ask me why I remembered :cool::(:confused:

it was run by the same landlord for about 50 years, he died a few years ago, and they don't seem to have got around to changing it

Only just seen this...

OK turning right at the top of powerscroft road, about 50 metres up, there is a poncey wanky italian yuppie cafe.

Oh, and my favourite fish and chip shop has now become an indian place.

Not bad in that it's indian, but crap in that it was a great chippie. Actually a lot of the good chippies have gone from hackney :(

if the Lord Cecil was so good, how come for the last 6 months of its existence the only people i saw in there were me (in the mirror), 4 dealers who sniffed coke in the toilet, and a sociopathic drunk with a bulldog (who was actually alright)

Huh? You never went to it on Friday night (the reggae night?)?
