The Goose, Walthamstow

I recently visited this pub with friends (their suggestion to pop in and I did warn them)and quite frankly I was embarrassed. Luckily it was our last drink for the evening and we didn't stay long at all. This is nothing like the pub it was about 10-15 years ago and by the looks of things has slowly gone down hill since. When it first opened it was the place to go simply because there was nothing like it in the area - clean, trendy (for it's time), specialist beers, good atmosphere. Now the other pubs, especially in the Village area, have bucked their ideas up, there is very little reason (for me anyway) to venture that far from my doorstep! However, I can only thank the Goose for one reason only and hope it DOES stay open, and that's because it's keeping all the trash out of the decent pubs!
