Star Of The East

Went here for the bottomless brunch with 3 girlfriends. Absolutely fantastic service from start to finish. Special thanks to the fantastic bar staff and to Ben and Hannah for looking after us so well. t's nice to see friendly faces behind a bar. The food was great and the actual pub was lovely, as was the garden. Great atmosphere, and I will definitely be going back to try the Sunday dinner 🍽 😋 well worth a visit 👍🏻❤️

Love a roast, and found this place because of it... Pluses; + Portion size is good (with an option to have your roast potatoes and gravy topped up should you need) + Potatoes and roast veg cooked nicely - parsnips in particular + Yorkshire pudding is great, especially with gravy Minuses; - HORRENDOUS Cauliflower and cheese - it really really doesn't belong on the plate in that current state, plastic cheese flavour does not belong on a plate of roast dinner - Roast chicken (which isn't on the menu for some reason) is cooked until very dry ... but it's fixable by pouring the gravy on it

The roast dinners are insane. People talking nonesense about protion sizes - in fact we thought it was too much and had to take doggy bags. Might be dependent on how busy they are though as we had booked before only to be told 30 minutes past opening time that there were no dinners left. Full half of a roast chicken and free toastie/Yorkshire/gravy top ups.

The pub is really great and has a big space indoor upstairs and downstairs also a big outdoor garden. Service is fast friendly and always happy. drinks are really good as well and the food is fantastic. The pub has karaoke, quiz night and also it kids friendly and dog friendly. They also do events and party’s so perfect place to go for a great day or night out. Definitely I’m coming again highly recommend it

A Thursday-afternoon-pint-visit: Stumbled upon the star as I was walking past and had to go in. This is genuinely nice pub and it’s as nice inside as it looks from the outside. The bar staff are super polite to everyone, and it’s clear they genuinely enjoy their customers. Probably the nicest pub I’ve been to in a long time. Such a shame I don’t live nearer. Atmosphere is very relaxed and chilled, with comfortable and clean surroundings. Not sure what to drink? No problem, because I saw the bar man offer a customer the chance to try a beer before they ordered. Very refreshing! Fully recommendable and will be back for sure. Amstel : £5.15 but defo worth.

Despite having worked in Canary Wharf for 16 years, I only discovered this pub a couple of weeks ago, and I wish I could wind the time back. I absolutely loved the Star of the East that - differently from nearly every other pub in Canary Wharf that feel synthetic - has a real pub feeling: the moment you step into it, you realise from the décor that this is a place with personality. You then speak to anyone working there and you feel the love that only real publicans feel for their job, and the internal garden is like heaven on a hot Summer day. The selection of beers and ciders is very good, with names that aren't the common ones you find in chain bars. The food tasty and filling, but most importantly for me, it was that this is the one place so close to Canary Wharf where I felt I could relax talking to friends and feeling like at home.
