As you say the car park and the car park made The Toll Gate a great meeting place.
As for the White Horse in the Mid 70s although no longer living in the Chadwell Heath area, I did work in the Ford Offices directly opposite the pub, so lunchtime darts and leaving dos but not much else to drag you in.
Also used to go in the Cooper's Arms and also back in my misspent youth I would occasionally venture into the Hinds Head, but like the Fiddlers only with caution particularly after someone had their ears sliced off outside.
Good music venue though.
One occasion (which fortunately I missed ) the group I knocked about with got caught up in a mass brawl in there. With all the glasses and bottles on the floor, it was a messy business.
Mind you as I said in an earlier post (although I didn't name the pub) you could get a pint of mild in the Hinds Head for 1s6d. But like the pub it was rough.

The Tollgate was my parent's local virtually from the day they moved to Chadwell Heath in 1956. By the time I was deemed old enough to enter, they drank in the lounge behind the saloon bar, which was where I lost my beer virginity.
I understand it has been redesigned now with the public and saloon bars swapping places. The car park seemed popular at all hours with patrons of the cafe just across Whalebone Lane at the lights...
My neighbour with whom I attended most home games used to drink in the White Horse, further down the High Road, which was always West Ham as long as I could remember.
Tollgate had real ale (and Worthington's White Shield) but I can't recall anything other than keg beer at the White Horse (back in the '70s).

Aged 11 a few of us took advantage of the school dinner ladies being on strike, to plough through an elder brother's home brew from one house, and a bottle of vodka from anothers.
Going back into school straight after, the first thing after brewak was P.E. and PIRATES.
What could possibly go wrong. To this day I don't know how we were detected.
