Four of us slipped in for a couple of post work pints last night. Great, proper pub, friendly staff, good pint of Guinness, very reasonably priced. Will be back.

🚇 All Saints 🍺 £4.20 Carlsberg Callaghann's is located at the side of Chrisp Street Market in Poplar, East London. The nearest station is All Saints on the DLR. Callaghann's was originally known as The Festive Britain and opened its doors in 1951 along with The Festival Inn on the other side of Chrisp Street Market. After WWII, this area of Poplar was redeveloped as part of the Festival of Britain which resulted in the creation of Chrisp Street Market, the first purpose-built pedestrian shopping area in the UK. This pub appears in a fight scene in the gritty film ‘Wild Bill’ starring Charlie Creed-Miles and a young Will Poulter. (2011) Prior to visiting the pub we popped into @maureenspiemash for a delicious 2 & 2. A must visit if you’re in the area. This is a good sized one bar pub that is traditionally decorated. The bar area is set out in an ‘L’ shape and wraps around the servery. The decor consists of a wood floor, photos and prints of famous pop stars, large mirrors, loads of West Ham memorabilia and plenty of seating throughout. At one end of the pub is a stage, at the other is a pool table and a dartboard. The beer line up was a selection of straightforward keg options. I decided on a Carlsberg, my pint was excellent, price point was great at just over four quid. If you’re hungry, there is a choice of Sandwiches, Toasties, Jacket potatoes and homemade dishes, all of which are reasonably priced. We arrived around 1pm on a mild Wednesday lunchtime in December. I was on a crawl with fellow pub enthusiasts @scottyboy71 and @pintandanotherone around Poplar. The atmosphere was chilled and relaxed, there were a few other punters in enjoying a lunchtime slurp. The service was lovely, the lady behind the ramp was very friendly and welcoming. Visiting Callaghann's was an enjoyable oldschool pub experience. This is a no frills postwar built pub which is a rare find in London these days. This pub receives mixed reviews, I loved it. 📅 18th December 2024 More London Pub info @londonpubmap 🍻
