I cycled there from Low Newton by the Sea, near Alnmouth in the early 00s, I think, to arrive at a time that the pub would be open (according to the Good Beer Guide). Found that it was not in fact open, and the grey and curling notice by the door suggested that it was unlikely ever to have been open at that time. It was a bloody long way and I wasn't going to come back just on the off chance (it is slap bang in the middle of nowhere). So in fact I've never yet had a drink at this pub.

They seem to produce loads of different beers all of which seem to be a bit half hearted. I wouldn't say they are rubbish but they are not worth seeking out.
It doesn't say where the site is but I assume it must be somewhere near Blackhorse Road station as that's where there is a lot of redevelopment. What Walthamstow really lacks is a JDW but it's unlikely to happen as it would threaten the Drum.
Agree.They will have to up there game to shift 40 million pints a year or sell out to a bigger brewer.
I was told by one of the Wild Card founders years ago that JDW and Enterprise terms are just as bad as each other. At least JDW pass on the savings to the punter rather than charging the inflated "going rate". Truman's already have a strong presence in East London JDWs as Locale options. Most of them are drinkable but understated. They aren't a complete disaster (we're not in Doom Bore territory here).
