  Awesome pub!! One of the best, or probably THE best chicken roast I have ever had. Highly recommend. It had that old school east London vibe and great outdoor area too.

  🚇 Bethnal Green 🍺 £6.15 Pillars Pilsner The Approach Tavern is located on a tree lined street near the Bonner Gate entrance to Victoria Park in the East End of London. The nearest Tube is Bethnal Green, it’s a five minute walk to get here. This pub was built in 1860, in 1942 the pub was hit by a German bomb during the blitz and subsequently was rebuilt after the war. It is estimated that during this war, 80 tons of bombs fell on the Metropolitan Borough of Bethnal Green. This is a roomy high ceilinged traditionally decorated one bar pub. Although knocked through into one bar, there are…

  Went to The Approach for a pint and food after work. Nice calm atmosphere in the pub. Lots of beer and cider choice on tap. Food menu was written on a chalk board at the bar which was a fun touch, got the soy + harissa chicken supreme, halloumi and quinoa and deep fried artichokes. All dishes were delicious and pricing was good for the great quality!

  The Approach Tavern is a great pub with a nice laid back vibe. In the summer, the beer garden is always busy but still feels intimate. There is a good range of beers on tap, soft and other drinks. The food is absolutely delicious, and there are quite a few vegetarian options. On Tuesdays there's a pub quiz inside, which is a lot of fun, but you can barely hear the excitement from the more laid back beer garden. Would very much recommend for couples, friends or anyone looking for a tasty dinner or a quick pint in the sun. It's easy walking distance from both Bethnal Green tube and Victoria Park

  The roast was absolutely delicious. The gravy has this interesting soy sauce umami flavour (wish there had been more!) Red cabbage instead of white cabbage and whole green beans instead of peas was a welcome change. Service was a bit confusing (table service or not?) and there were no menus left at the end of the night so our big group had to share one. At 7:09 we went to order dessert and got told the kitchen closed at 7. More communication would be great! As someone who also works at a pub in East London it’s standard practice to go around before the kitchen closes on a Sunday to inform…
