Two years a go it was all about drinking and craying in your own bodily fluids while the odd police officer was making sure you're unarmed. NOW it's club nights and vodka shots - even people from Ilford and Barking come all the way to East Ham to enjoy the variety and the cheap booze. What an improvement. Can't wait to go there on Saturday!

If I could give half stars, I'd definitely give this place 3.5. It's a really beautiful pub which…read morehas so much potential. It's our closest pub and we've had some good drinks in there. The staff could be a little friendlier, it would benefit from some craft beers and the place needs a bit of TLC. It's a stunning building with some really wonderful features. The room at the back, which the toilets are off, has a really gorgeous glass ceiling, and there's some lovely stained glass around. This is one of the main West Ham United supporters pubs so definitely one to stay away from on match day (unless you're a West Ham supporter!). With West Ham moving to the Olympic Stadium next season, it will be interesting to see what happens to The Boleyn. It is offering membership which includes transport to the new stadium so perhaps it'll still be a football pub but I hope it means it will be given some attention so that is a good local for us folk nearby. They have started doing a monthly quiz and they also have a karaoke night every so often, so it seems they are trying to make it a pub for more than just football fans. I hope within the next year, this will be a great place to go out with friends. I'd also love it to start doing some good food too. Perhaps we'll have to watch this space.

We were hungry and were looking for a quick, cheap meal in East Ham but we didn't fancy Indian. So, The Miller's Well it was. We started by ordering a couple of drinks off the Miller's Well menu on the bar. I saw they did cheap cocktails so asked for the Porn Star martini from the list. 'We don't do that here' said the barman. I thought it was odd when it's on their menu but ordered a glass of wine from the list. Again he said that they don't do that there. Finally I got a glass of chardonnay but it was quite vinegary. We ordered burgers and then 5 mins later we were told they only had one beef burger so we changed one to chicken. The chips were good, the onion rings were excellent but the burgers were a huge let down. The chicken was tough, dry and actually inedible in places. I know not to expect a lot in whetherspoons but this was particularly bad, especially the way the barman spoke to me as if I was stupid for asking for drinks that were actually on their menu. I'll definitely stick to the fantastic Indian restaurants in the area in future.

We went for a Sunday roast and it coincided with when they had a live jazz band playing. It's quite shabby chic, but really quite big. There's a room out the back which is more of a dining room but we stayed in the front bit as that's where the music was. It was busy but we got a table and people came and went so there was normally space for those arriving. The roast dinner was the best I've probably ever had out, certainly in London and at £12 each it wasn't bad at all. There was so much meat (we both had the lamb) and it was so tender and juicy. It had the largest, tastiest homemade Yorkshire pudding I've ever seen, crispy goose fat roast potatoes and perfectly cooked parsnip, carrots and cabbage. It had really delicious gravy too. The drinks were cheap and the jazz band were brilliant. When they weren't playing, there was a guy in the corner with decks playing LPs. There have been some comments on here from other reviewers about the toilets. The ladies were really clean and nicely decorated so may have been refurbished recently. My boyfriend went to the men's and said they weren't the best but not that bad so they may have had some work recently too. This pub is really handy for Forest Gate station and also Wanstead. We had a lovely walk around Wanstead Flats before going to the pub so there's lots to do if you travel to the area. We'll definitely be visiting a lot more.
