"Red Lion E6 is a neighbourhood blessing. The huge, partially covered garden, complete with table games, provides a brilliant backdrop to idle away the time, while inside, a solid selection of craft beers on tap rivals many other East Ham options. The pizzas are the strong point; options like margherita and the diavola, with its spicy sausage and chilli, are a compelling addition for London’s purists. More unusual possibilities are not to be snubbed, however. ‘The Geezer,’ a pie with salt beef, gherkins and mustard is surprisingly good, flavours mingling like a gigantic reuben sandwich. With quizzes, Sunday roasts and live music events, Red Lion is slated to be a lasting part of the community — as well as a destination." - Shekha Vyas
