About This Pub

Ah, Plough & Harrow and Sinbin, what a gem in the heart of Leytonstone! From what I've gathered from the reviews, it's got this charming, old-school vibe that just draws you in for a relaxed pint or a bite to eat. I love how it's so family-friendly, with things like pool tables and board games keeping everyone entertained, and the staff sound absolutely top-notch, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. The food gets rave reviews too – exceptional catering for all sorts, and it's spotlessly clean, which is always a plus. Plus, being right near the tube and a nice park makes it super handy for a quick meet-up after a day out. On the flip side, though, it's a bit of a shame about the beer selection; no cask ales means it might not hit the spot for ale enthusiasts, and that 70s feel could come across as a tad outdated if you're after something more contemporary. Still, it's got a solid 4.2 rating from folks who've been there, so it's clearly doing something right for the community. All in all, if you're up for a no-fuss, down-to-earth pub experience with great company, I'd say give it a go – just keep in mind it might be more of a locals' favourite.

A simple Irish themed pub with a 70s feel to it. No cask ales but a good few keg beers available. Certainly a local's local but could be great fun at times.

Great space and venue for a party. We had around 50 guests, and there was still plenty of room. The land lady was excellent, she let us get on with the party decorations and the rearranging of the furniture. She pretty much left us alone but was always there when you needed her. Nice Size stage for the classic DJ with all the gear. There were lights, and they weren't too bad, but a good DJ should bring their own set of lights. The price of the venue was, I think £300 for the evening from around 6 pm, and we needed to be out by 1am, which we were, just! If you want a "no frills - is what it is space", then this would be ideal. It did need a lick of paint here and there, but once everyone gets into the swing of things, who cares? lol

Very beautifully looking cozy old pub in the middle of High Street, only 5-10 minutes by bus from Stratford stations, Leytonstone stations and Westfield Shopping Centre (buses 257, 308) or short walk from Leyton station. It located next to a small but pretty local park too. It offers cooked meals, party hiring venue, food and drinks... and recently started to offer Salsa lessons! There is also a heated garden. I have seen wheelchair access outside too.
