Star of the East is a nineteenth century pub at 805A Commercial Road in Poplar, a short distance from the Docklands. Original features, function rooms and a secluded garden give the venue more character and space than a straightforward neighbourhood bar.
The food menu covers familiar pub favourites and small plates suited to sharing over drinks. Fish and chips, schnitzel, burgers and seafood mains provide substantial choices, with salads and vegetable based options available for a lighter meal.
Pizza is another important part of the offer, ranging from margherita and pepperoni to mushroom and richer meat combinations. Gluten free bases and vegan choices make that section useful for groups with different preferences.
The private dining room and larger lounge support celebrations, while the main pub remains suitable for lunch, dinner or a casual evening. Star of the East works best when diners want comforting food, an easy drinks selection and the atmosphere of a distinctive historic local.
Address: 805A Commercial Road, Poplar, London E14 7HG, England
