user reviews of the Goose on the Broadway, Stratford

please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.

A wonderful boozer if you're a sad loser who enjoys sitting in an aircraft hangar full of mad pensioners and jobless immigrants whilst spending your last £3 on 7 pints of watered down lager.

If you're not that kind of person (or if you don't like having to wait 40 minutes for your 40p a pint Carling Cats Pee With Added Water) stay away. If you're alcoholic but nearly skint, try the Weatherspoons a few doors down - nearly as cheap and at least the staff are friendly (albeit in a "Have A Nice Day" kind of way).

Shakespeare found a mouse in his pint here.

My girlfriend and I used to go to this pub for food occasionally.
But one day about two years ago we saw a mouse in there and neither of us have ever been back since!

Cheap and not cheerful, bad food and not the the nicest beer.

Food disgusting, staff rude and it's always full of very strange old men and foreigners trying to sell you pirate DVDs.

Cheaper than most places, and lots of space to sit down, and it's still an awful pub. Don't go there.

This Is The worse pub to go too, they must pub hires staff with attitude problems. Went before was bad, thought would give another go, no change, rude staff, less people than last time visited which was 4 months ago, nothing has changed, Would not recommend this pub unless you want to be abused by the staff, not unless you get chucked out before you enter the door

have agree with the other reviews, staff just want you to go away sit by uself anything but strike up a converstion

but very cheap, seems to attract some very strange people, one old guy got up on the table and took his trousers down apparently he does this often, but they still let him in, i dont trust the food so i dont try it

go for cheap drinks, but not to pull or make friends

Staff totally rude and told my group of 20 Irish friends we were barred and asked to leave (I'm a Londoner), when we asked why staff said they didn't have to say why. When we pushed the matter they came up with ludicrous claims against us including taking drugs in the toilets. They clearly didn't want us there and will never go to this pub again, they either dislike students or the Irish as we were just having a couple of very quiet drinks in a mixed group.

Staff Rude, Reminds me of a cold Barn , not much character and uninteresting.

Feel like if u looked at someone the wrong way you would get into a situation.

Been once , never again.

Gave this pub another go, pub has became very unpopular since last time went, and staff are still very rude, witnessed one member of staff swearing at a guy because he accidently spilt his drink over the bar top. Will not go back again

The food is good and it's nice and big. Way to smokey. The bar staff is not very helpful especially one guy named Simon. Big geezer that swears at the customers. Don't go there people. Better pubs around with better staff

Staff not very helpful, good atmosphere pub, very smokey, not really a family pub. could do a lot better

Very cheap for beer and food, and good quality too. Quick service and plenty of seating. One drawback is that it is extremely smoky. Not from July 2007!

For a big town centre this is a big bar, by way of atmosphere it really hasn't got much but that said it's light, spacious and I like the nice leather comfy sofa's dotted around which are blissful to slump into with a pint at the end of a day at the grind.
There's a upper tier level for non smokers and the toilets are clean as a whistle, best part is the meal with a beer deals which are good value especially if you're meeting up with mates after work.
The beer prices won't leave you out of pocket either as the competition from nearby weatherspoons and yate's is rife, the staff are friendly and my only quibble is the sometime lack of ashtrays but that said....yup, I like it :-)

The best of the cheap price pubs in the area.Comfortable seating,clean and nicely decorated,toilets excellent.Staff are a bit slow but at their prices this can be forgiven.

Lousy beer and the bar staff were slow and unhelpful. Apart from that, the place looks good.
