28/02/25 - CAMRA has had a call from the Friendship Pub Company who, apparently, have taken over this pub. They are refurbishing the pub and this will take a couple of months. We presume that this means that the pub is closed or will be closing shortly. But we do not have any firm info in this respect.

July 2024 - The cask options were Hammerton's N1 and TT Landlord. Later in the year only the N1 was on tap - we are not sure if Landlord will return as a guest.

May 2022 - reopened under new management. Regular events held - see their website for full details. Casks beers on offer.

In Jan 2022 the pub closed and was boarded up, its future then was uncertain.

Originally a coach house (a small building for housing coaches, carriages and other vehicles) dating back to the 1700′s, it is one of the oldest remaining public houses in the borough of Hackney which was formerly in the county of Middlesex.
