The Morgan Arms

The pub is absolutely lovely with a great vibe and super comfy feel. There's also a good selection of beer on tap.

That said, the roasts are horrible. They were bland with overcooked carrots and undercooked roasted potatoes. We actually complained about the potatoes and the guy never came back with an update. We asked about it later and was told the chef was cooking up a new batch which never arrived. He took the service charge off but this wasn't a great customer service experience. Avoid the food. I couldn't believe how bad it was despite how overpriced it was.

Staff friendly and food is really good.
Slow service even ater 9pm on a thursday night ... and no check back during the meal.

I love this pub. In an area where decent pubs are few and in between, it's so refreshing to know that you can always really on the Morgan Arms.

It's a large pub and having recently renovated it, they've made even better use of the space - plenty of room for both the eaters and the drinkers!

Come here on a Sunday and it's likely you'll be waiting a while for a table. They serve a decent roast and a great selection of food during the week too.

Prices are standard for London but I'm happy to pay for the quality of the food! The staff are great too - really friendly and welcoming even when busy!

Definitely recommend if in the area and looking for a pleasant experience!

Nice English pub. Does a mean sunday roast. Lots of couches and places for groups to sit. Wine list is ok and broad mix of large company beers as well as some good craft beers.

It kind of feels like a lounge room as its light and cosy and has a really great atmosphere inside. In the summer the whole place opens up and there is outdoor spots to sit on roadside. There is also a biggish dining room out the back.

I have only had roasts here which they nailed. Think roasted pork with crunchy crackling and a black pudding stuffing. And lots of veg and a delicious Yorkshire pudding. And heaps of gravy! So. soooo. good. One thing to note though is the kitchen on Sundays closes at 4pm then opens for dinner service at 7pm.

Good place for families or a big group of sunday lunch hungry mates.

Walking down Coborn Road in Bow, there's something that immediately strikes you about the Morgan Arms' pretty sage green exterior, maybe it's the tiny white lights in the window, the large beckoning windows, or the eminent sense of history, but the place is instantaneously endearing - before you've ever even been inside.

Fortunately, once its delightful facade has waved you in (and it will), the Morgan Arms doesn't even think about resting on the cutesy laurels of its outer walls, and instead ups the ante in the best possible way. Far from your standard brass-and-polished-wood gastro pub, the Morgan Arms surprises with an eclectic, well-appointed, warm and sophisticated interior. It's utterly cozy, but in an arty sort of way.

They've got a seasonal wine and beer list is that is well thought through and veers toward interesting... the type you glance over and think to yourself, "Hmm. I wonder what that's like."

The food also impresses, mostly because it's an ever-changing menu that is locally sourced and well-executed. On one of my last visits, I enjoyed a fragrant, autumnal squash soup, and shared a platter of hummus and tapénade that was accompanied by hearty chunks of seed-flecked artisan bread. Another friend ordered an entrée of stuffed peppers, which he enjoyed, but I have to say that £13 seemed a little much for a trio of undersized capsicums that hardly could have passed an appetizer.

Otherwise, I've always had fantastic, friendly, bend-over-backwards-to-please-you service here. Indeed, as a whole, I feel extremely fortunate that the Morgan Arms is close enough to me that I can count it my own, very lovely, local pub.

Nice looking pub but the food does not deliver. The steak tartare was diluted with mayonaise, the duck confit was mis balanced in flavour and bitter, and the scallops were overcooked. Sorry to say this place has too many bells and whistles but does not meet expectations.

A friend of mine has been working at the Morgan for some time now so I've become something of a regular visitor to this rather high-market East-End drink/eatery. Located just off the gorgeous Tredegar Square and adjacent to a stack of ex-council housing, the Morgan attracts a varied but increasingly trendy clientele. The interior oozes sophistication with lots of solid wood tables and dark red leather.

Drinks are a little pricy for this area of town but the selection is excellent and they've got Aspall cider on tap, hooray! Not one I'd pick to watch a game in, but it also has Sky.

Where the Morgan really comes into its own though is the food. Thanks to its ability to provide an innovative and ever-changing menu along with a great variety of wines, the Morgan is really setting the standard for gastro-pubs.

I'd say this is probably the perfect place for a first date, it's not too flash but it reeks of good taste.

This is a great place for a Sunday afternoon with friends. Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere, and the roast is really, really good. Good drinks, great wine. I will make a point to come back here.

Beautiful pub. Really well decorated in winter time and lovely to sit outside in the summer. The central bar area is gorgeous, the staff are always a delight, and the food is fantastic (both the restaurant area food and the bar burgers). The back area is for table seating only while the front is a classic pub style, but you can order the same food in either areas.

Everything about this place is great. Except A: ever since their remodel a while ago the prices are too high (ESPECIALLY drink prices), B: not enough outdoor seating, and C: lights can be too bright inside in the evening.

Great local place. More informal eating area and pub area. Friendly staff and crowd. Came with friends. Did not get food. Bartender staff very engaging. Nice experience and comfortable. Would recommend if visiting the East End of London.
