A beautifully chaotic local pub featuring reasonably priced beer and an eclectic cast of characters. Never a dull moment.
I walked in here simply because there were no other pubs for miles. I immediately regretted it as I was confronted by a bar full of quite hostile and aggressive loud patrons. I was starting to fret but I held my nerve and ordered a glass of wine them gulped it down as quickly as I could and hoped no-one noticed me too much to bother about but everyone stared from the moment I came in and I felt so relieved to be back m outside again. This is the straightest pub I've ever been in and I was terrified from.stsrt to finish. The only thing it's got going for it was the wine was very cheap. But avoid like the plague cos either you'd catch it there or you'd get a glassed in the face for looking at someone the wrong way
A cracking local East End pub near the Shadwell DLR/Overground, so many like The Hungerford Arms in the area have unfortunately closed down and been converted to flats, cheap chicken shops or completely demolished. It is refreshing to go into an East End pub like The Hungerford Arms and find friendly locals including the bar staff who will give you a warm welcome. It is a no frills pub so don't expect to order gastro type food or your favourite craft beer, there are plenty of hipster places you can find nearby that will serve you that. It has a pool table at 50p a game, a jukebox and drinks at an affordable price, so go down to the Hungerford Arms and pay it a visit.
Fantastic place, true, genuine english pub. Very kind people and hosts. I was delighted
🚇 Shadwell 🍺 £3.80 Fosters ❤️ A no frills down to earth locals boozer. . The Hungerford Arms is located on busy Commercial Road in Shadwell. Getting here is easy, Shadwell overground and Shadwell DLR are close by. . This pub was built in 1851 by the Watney Combe Reid brewery, even though a little battered, the pub still retains its Watney sign at the front of the pub. . This is a small, compact and cosy pub with one long thin bar. The servery runs down the right hand side with low level tables and chairs opposite. At the far end of the bar is a pool table, fruity and a TV that had the horse racing on when I visited. . The beer line up is simple and was geared up to suit the locals. I had a pint of Fosters, the Amber Nectar was a decent pint and cost less than four quid. The pub doesn’t serve food but there were bar snacks available. . I arrived around 4.30pm on a Saturday afternoon and the pub was busy with a local crowd in attendance. The one thing community pubs really struggle with is succession, luckily here there were a few younger lads in frequenting the pub who hopefully are part of the pub’s future. The backdrop was created by the fairly loud jukebox, Uptown Top Ranking came on by Anthea & Donna which put a big smile on my face. . The East End of London’s pub landscape has been decimated over the last twenty years. The majority of pubs that have closed are wet led community pubs, cultural and lifestyle shifts plus the recent cost of living crisis have meant that pubs like this are vulnerable due to the fact that the next wave of punters are simply not there unless gentrification ensues. Support your local, use it or lose it. . ℹ️ Info correct on visiting 04.03.23
