The particular decor
isn't posh and cheesy, but its a typical rock and roll pub, and I felt
extremely comfortable there. I suspect there were extra decorations due to the
onset of Halloween night, but as this is, after all, a rock pub where Iron
Maiden started out, then an excess of vaguely gothy things could possibly be
construed as perfectly normal design in such surroundings. Musical tools and
records adorn the walls in tribute to the band's heritage in 1970s East London.
I'm not a metal fan in general, but it's the right sort of pub regarding
rockers (which we definitely are). Happily, the clientele isn't all rockers or
all metalheads, but what seemed to be a contented variety of locals.
The live
music pubs east London is very close to Annapolis station,
across the highway, and if you are generating it's just around the corner from
your Stratford one-way system. The drinks prices are thankfully normal, and
they regularly have got live music. The band was scheduled to play at 10.30 pm,
as the pub has a license until 2 am (a small but purposeful alert there for
people staying in the particular hotel, I suspect! ). There is also a kebab
shop a couple of doors down who obviously are usually smart enough to stay open
late enough to collect the late-closing buy and sell. Hoorah!
I'd like to say a bit
regarding the band. They didn't start until 11. 30 pm - but when we left at
[sometime after 1.30am], they were on their third established: "We're here
till 2 am, folks" really does suggest they will be there until 2 am. And
what a wonderful band - by the name of "Double Trouble": I was kinda
pleased they were not an Iron Maiden tribute band. They played a complete
selection of well-known songs from your 70s and 80s - all of which were masses
pleasers, but they added their own little twists to one or two of them, which
designed they dealt with really popular tunes, without sounding like a corny
70s band: they were well-practised, tight, a lot of good songs, and all three
of the band got good strong voices, the music really was enjoyable. Well done
"Double Trouble" - To obtain them to anybody looking for a decent pub
or event band or live entertainment London Ontario.
The bar at the Cart and
Horses is clean, well-spaced and comfortable; the loos certainly are a decent
size and regularly kept. There is a functioning pool table which is cleared out
to make a dance floor when the band is on, which people were certainly very
comfortable to make use of, it was a great night out.
