About Eleanor Arms

Happening Victorian pub with weekend music & beer garden, serving real ales.

Built in 1879, this pub off the beaten track is definitely worth a visit. The rear area was once a separate bar, there is 1930s wood panelling. Quiz night is the first Thursday of the month , Old Ford jazz club on Sundays. Close to Victoria park. The pub has been sold by Shepherd Neame and relaunched as an independent pub in May 2024.

    Great jazz bands arranged by Lukas who is the current landlord, all staff are fab and friendly, great beer choices and a cozy beer garden. As for food - nice crisps! Did you know in the 1950s there was a live monkey in a cage, is this the same monkey?

    I only came across this pub by chance word of mouth! What a fab find! We went to the jazz night they have on Sundays and it was a lot of fun. The atmosphere was cosy and intimate. Their was a great buzz about the place and it was full of character. The staff were really friendly and the selection of ales were a bonus! A bit out of the way but well worth the trip, especially if you're into jazz! Plus it's free to attend, just make sure you check out their selection of beers. Definitely intend on returning! It did get quite busy so I would say if you would like a seat to get there a bit earlier…

    I’m a northerner so an apparently typical east end pub was a first. Had a great Sunday night in here enjoying live music. Normally jazz I believe). Great atmosphere and good level of business. All the locals were friendly and especially so the two ladies behind the bar. They knew their drinks and were welcoming and efficient. Good range of spirits especially whiskeys. Smoking area out the back, toilets were fine, pool table. Prices were very reasonable, comparable to a normal pub where I’m from (the grim north)

    A bustling Friday evening, full of well known happy faces around the pool table. An excellent waiting or dining room for the splendid Chipping Wharf next door.
