| This is my favourite bar/pub in this end of Romford, which sounds like faint praise, and it is. The atmosphere is at least friendly and you are unlikely to get into a drunken scene(fight) with the local pondlife in here. Not much else to actually recommend it other than that. Standard lagerpub with no proper ale, decorated in a style which is a cross between a modernist loft appartment and an Edwardian Gentleman's club (go figure!), I would never eat there(or anywhere else in South Street, Romford, anyone who does deserves all they get.

| Laughable would be too kind. I feel slightly conned and cheapened by the whole experience. My Work Colleges and I were looking forward to our Christmas party that had been arranged to be held there and everyone had high hopes of what was to come. Which were soon dashed to the rocks like a sail boat in a tempest. To start of with I wasn't expecting any Michelin star food or silver service, just some honest hot pub grub thats all. I'm a man of simple means and don't expect that much out of life. However what was shoved under our noses the by surly staff was neither hot or any thing closely resembling food. The first course was a choice between merger serving of 3 very small spring rolls with a limp side salad, a few greasy deep fried mushrooms or half a tin of vegetable soup. The main course was inedible. Described as Turkey Breast with stuffing.. (Mmh the traditional Christmas meal you'd think). What we got was dry limp boiling in the bag rubbish of the highest order. As you can imagine I didn't stay long enough to find out what wondrous garbage they had planned for the pudding. However this pales into comparison to the attitude of the manger who really could do with a few weeks a charm school. Trying to pass off a bottle 0f 75p French Battery acid as an apology just won't cut it. I feel deeply conned and hope to the God's that they get a visit from Gordon Ramsey, because others should not have to suffers this. Plymouth73 - 7 Dec 2007 12:08 |

| indeed this is the custom house now, and i attended last week for my b'day on a friday night, it was a nice venue, well decorated and had a nice set of people in there, aged from about 23 - 30 at a guess, which makes a change for romford, the staff were friendly, and service was quick. it could have been slightly busier, but was nice to have a bit of room for a change. will def go back. essjaydee - 12 Mar 2006 20:16 |
