What a fine pub this is. The exterior decoration - beautifully painted, and posing a few questions - is good preparation for what goes on inside. The decor is similarly smart and well-kept, with cosy seating and, among other things, a selection of pen-and-ink drawings of various vintage movie stars, from Charlie Chaplin to Sydney Greenstreet. There are several well-kept real ales on the hand pumps, a moderately wide selection of Scotch whiskies, and a reasonable selection of wines. The pub has various nooks and crannies and rooms, including at least one with a log fire, something that was much appreciated on our winter visit. The food menu, which mostly offers variants on traditional pub meals, not to mention old-fashioned English desserts, represents good value for money. All in all, this is a justly popular pub, seemingly with people of all ages, and one that we are pleased to recommend most heartily.

IMO the best Pub in Wanstead -

Very clean and well run - staff efficient and always decent beer - Can feel a bit blokey but still freindly and no prob with children early on

I was eating in this pub with my children aged six & eight years one Saturday lunch time, when I noticed a long dark hair in my food. When I asked to speak with the landlord an elderly grey haired man came over & when I explained he became quite abusive. I felt extremely intimidated & my youngest daughter started crying. Although I paid the full price for our substandard food we left immediately as my main concern was getting my children to safety. We will never frequent the Nightingale ever again
