| Currently visiting a pub for every station on London Overground. Did this one for Barking. Was pleasantly surprised. A nice traditional pub, run by local brewery Davy and Co. A clink and doghouse bar at the rear and a nice courtyard at the back to get away from the hustle and bustle of Barking High Street. I like this pub. hillzy - 7 Oct 2011 18:56 |
| To achieve the tag of 'best pub in barking' would be about as difficult as achieving the tag of 'best jockey in Andrew Thornton's road', but this pub would stand up as a good un in any town. The staff are lovely, the locals are friendly, the beer is fine and the building is impressive. You can always find somewhere to sit and the resident Elvis impersonator is so good that i was convinced that the great man himself was indeed alive and well and living in Barking. That said i was also convinced that the lass opposite me that night was Megan Fox.....alas she looks more like Basil Brush. If you want a decent drink up in Barking head to the Spotted Dog, there's simply nowhere better for a good long way. tippingtim - 20 Dec 2010 12:04 |
| This is a fantastic Pub, and since the sad demise of the Brittania, easily the best in Barking. I've been a regular for over 38 years, I remember when the floor was covered in a thick layer of sawdust and they had a rather expensive restaurant - The Clink - downstairs. The beer is well kept as always and the staff are the best I have encountered anywhere in the UK, and I've travelled most of it. Also I noticed that they are using one of my publicity photos I commissioned for. Keep up the good work Russell! Greenman_Blue - 21 Sep 2010 09:58 |
| One of a few remaining proper boozers in Barking. A few ales on - I tried the Old Wallop which was pretty insipid and uninspiring. It's okay but not really somewhere to make a special trip out to. Handy for Barking station and preferable (though a lot more expensive than) the Wetherspoon across the road). Snarling_Mallard - 29 Aug 2010 10:07 |
| Large pub, right next to station (main line and tube), so very convenient. Divided into separate rooms ranging from quiet to loud (large TV screen), so it's easy to find quiet corner if wanted. Excellent range of food reasonably priced. 2 real ales. Friendly attentive staff. The loos leave a bit to be desired though... Trev - 14 Feb 2010 22:45 |
