The Coborn is a welcoming East London pub on Coborn Road in Bow. Its comfortable neighbourhood atmosphere supports casual lunches, evening drinks, family gatherings and group events, with food served every day and a busy bar at the centre of the room.
East End pie and mash is an important part of the identity, with changing pies served with mash, peas and gravy. The wider menu includes battered haddock and chips, Cumberland sausages with mash, and beef burgers made with short rib and brisket.
Bar snacks range from a farmhouse sausage roll and Scotch egg to mushroom croquettes and loaded fries. Vegan sausages and a vegan burger provide substantial alternatives, while crumble, chocolate brownie, sticky toffee pudding and Eton mess cover classic pub desserts.
Craft beer, changing ales, wine and seasonal spritzes accompany the food, and Sundays bring the familiar ritual of a full roast. The combination of British comfort food and a sociable local bar makes The Coborn as appropriate for a pint and snack as for a complete meal.
