The Approach - Carta

Lovely local pub but very disappointing roast. Overcooked dry slices of beef. Lots of ok veg and Yorkshire pudding. All of this for £18.

The Approach Tavern is a wonderful restaurant with friendly staff and mouthwatering food. We can't think of anything we didn't like about it. We will definitely be returning soon. Thank you.

It's really unfortunate, because this pub looks charming. We made a reservation for a roast dinner at 6pm on Sunday, when the website said the kitchen closes at 8pm, but there was no food available. Ver carta

If you are looking for a proper East London Sunday Roast, look no further than the Approach. Despite Covid craziness (and they did an excellent job making it very safe) it almost feels like a return to normality. Food was excellent, service better and great booze.

Visited this modern pub type place for a work farewell. Sat outside as was a lovely day- seating area was fine though became crowded and noisy but that seemed to add to the vibe. Inside the bar staff were friendly and service was quick. Inside seating area was a large quiet space , plenty of space. Food service was a bit hit and miss as servers did not know which table had ordered food. Pet friendly.

Five of us went for Sunday lunch. Those who had the pork belly enjoyed it, my lamb was overcooked and tough (no redcurrant jelly either) and one of us had small plates which were ok. The best bit of the meal was the draught beer and cider. Overall it was rather disappointing. Friendly staff though. Not worth the money. I went here a few years ago and it was very good. Perhaps Sunday lunch in covid times is a stretch too far. Ver carta

Rude egotistical staff who appear to think they are celebrities, appalling rudeness from them today in a half empty/half full venue with really uncomfortable seating. We will never set foot in this place again. To be told to get out of my way by someone carrying food whilst I'm standing in front of the only menu, on the wall and when I do move he opts to walk toward me rather than now go behind me (I'm reading the menu) to make me move again rather than take the shorter route behind me and then tell me I won't forget this, I could go on, it got worse.

Our experience at this restaurant was really disappointing. We had booked a few weeks in advance for my boyfriend's birthday, but when we arrived, they had no record of our reservation despite my confirmation email. We ended up waiting outside for about half an hour for a table. Each round of drinks took around 40 minutes to arrive, and we were unable to split the bill between just the two of us because the restaurant was too busy. It was a frustrating experience and it seems like they need more staff to handle the demand. While the selection of drinks was good and the food was fine, the poor service overshadowed everything. Unless they significantly improve their service, we won't be return...

I live fairly near to this pub and I love the atmosphere, they have a great selection of beers and wines and the staff are helpful and lovely. However my only criticism of the place is the vegetarian food. It could be a bit more imaginative. Not every vegetarian is a vegan. Not all vegans want a healthy choice etc. Given I come here a lot it would be nice if there was more than just a veggie burger and an occasional other choice. That said the choices I have had have been nice if a little pricey. The veggie roast however is BAD. It costs almost the same as the meat even tho it’s obviously inexpensive to make comparatively. It’s usually a nutroast which by their nature are dry (I’ve been told... Ver carta
