Pubs & bars near Rainham, Havering

trader is a great wine bar and eatery on Hackney’s trendy Dalston Lane. As you’d expect, it’s an achingly hip-looking place (industrial-esque with flooring reclaimed from a gymnasium) but, thankfully, there’s substance to this place as well as style. It’s an outpost of Borough Wines so, as you’d expect, the wine list doesn’t disappoint and it’s reasonably priced, too. I visited on a Sunday evening and enjoyed confit duck leg served with loads of braised fennel (£12). I had a feisty glass of rioja with the meal and a sweet, dark sherry for dessert – both were brilliant. Note that trader is a wine bar with food, not a restaurant with wine, so the menu’s perhaps a little on the limited side but nonetheless, it’s a lovely place to spend an evening. Bon appétit!

The menu at trader (opp. the Windmill at Mountnessing) includes ample helpings of the "favourites", cooked to a high standard and served by pleasant Staff at acceptable prices. Decor and atmosphere - traditional "pub".

Having never experienced true barbecue across the pond, I can’t comment on the authenticity of the fare at Duke’s Brew & Que. I can, however, say that the pulled pork sliders and seasoned fries I tried were delicious. From the pace at which my friend demolished some super-sticky ribs, I gather they’re also pretty good. Duke’s Brew & Que gets billed as a restaurant and might disappoint if you went with high expectations. I find it’s better thought of as a great pub, which also does better-than-average food. They brew their own (fantastic) ‘Beavertown’ beers here and that alone marks this place out from the competitors. Whether it’ll last beyond London’s current fad for Deep South-style dining remains to be seen but, nonetheless, it’s nice to have a little bit of Americana in Islington.

I visited the The Plough with 4 friends. We all got good food and good beer. The service was good and they have outside seating close to the Darent. The prices were reasonable and their dessert excellent.

This is a brilliant bar. Such hidden little gem - it's well located as it's in Old street near some other well know venues, but this place is tucked away. It's quite small, and I think regulars there know each other well. The best thing about this place are the drinks! The best cocktails ever! The quality of alcohol used is to the highest standard. And they also have this speciality 'Veridita' shot which follows a shot of tequilla - such a perfect combination!

well if it's a choice of beer you're after I'd suggest the ship along the road in hart street - the east india arms (shepherd name) in fenchurch st., the three lords (young's) or the chamberlain (fullers) both in the minories. Yes the food at the bavarian beerhouse, with its bavarian theme and german specialities makes a change from local pub food, which is indeed pretty run of the mill but even the selection of bavarian beers is hardly extensive. And whilst it is maybe responsible of them to offer an alcohol free beer, erdinger alkoholfrei at £3.90 a bottle does seem a pretty big mark up especially by the time they have added on their so called 'optional' 12.5% service charge which applies to food AND drink (not something I am aware of any other local bar trying to get away with) (last time i bought erdinger 'alkoholfrei' beer in sainsburys it was £1.50 a bottle - I think it's currently on sale at £1)

Great pub with a fine selection of ales. Nice and quiet in the week and more uptempo on the weekend.

If you like beer, this is your place! I went with a large group today for a bday celebration and had a lovely time. They have a wide range of beers to choose from - although I'm not the biggest beer fan, I chose a Erdinger Russ which was pretty tasty! (light and sweet). We also ordered large platters of sausages - they were delicious.

A super place to grab lunch/dinner in East London - well-made tasty stuff. Also a good place to frequent in the summer for a few beers/ales - an outside area with a multitude of benches on a sunny day is bliss.

A great gem of a pub - has a decent range of beers and ales on tap (including Frulli!) with a lovely laid back atmosphere. Excellent food also - the Sunday roast is quite something. Great to go for a quiet pint or 2, or to spend a Friday night in also. Go, but don't go and tell everyone about it!

This is a great restaurant bar in the middle of Walthamstow village. The food is delicious AND ethically sourced, the staff are really friendly too. It is quite pricey though, so I only go for a treat. I paid £30 for wine, starter, main and I shared a desert with a friend :0
