The Approach Tavern

SquareMeal Review of The Approach Tavern

Couscous on the menu, contemporary art on the walls of the upstairs gallery, a heated terrace & trendy punters sipping Pinot Grigio – The Approach, near Victoria Park, is a thoroughly modern boozer. But neither the pub nor the local residents who use it are ready to call time on the more traditional features: namely, the jukebox, pub quiz & real fire in winter. The venue is now under the wing of Remarkable Restaurants, a London pub company, & has jazzed up its act in other ways. Sunday roasts are still the big favourite, but chilled gazpacho, pints of prawns, rib-eye fries & horseradish cream, & flourless chocolate cake, indicate a renewed pride in the kitchen. Order a sausage roll (made in-house) & pair it with a pint of real ale – Ossett’s Yorkshire Blonde or Gales Seafarers from Fuller’s, say. Continental choices include Litovel & Hoegaarden.

The menu was limited to what was on the chalkboard. Only one desert option, the chocolate brownie with clotted cream which was ok but have had better.

The staff on duty were friendly enough. The beer and wine were nice.
