| Since I last commented on this pub, there's been a couple of changes in management neither of which has been able to completely turn things around. It's now my sad duty to report that the Cranbrook (along with several other outlets owned by the brewery) has been closed and put up for sale. We can only hope another chain or independent takes it over, but given the current state of the pub game I suspect this will be the next housing development in Ilford.

| This is very much a regulars pub (friendly atmosphere, decent prices etc.) and I've been using it for quite a few years now. It's my sad duty therefore to warn people that there was a change in management around November 2006 and the current incumbent is less than satisfactory; in fact I'd go as far as to say that she sees customers as little more than a nuisance (Closing all day on New Years day for no apparent reason as well as increasing the beer prices from £2 to £2.50 per pint after midnight on New Years eve spring to mind). The current "bouncers" (and I use that term very loosely) don't help the situation either. If you're still in the pub around closing time you'll see what I mean. Entertainment on Fridays and Saturdays has also been dispensed with so that's another nail in the coffin. All in all, I shan't be using the place again until matters change...........

| I visited this pub during the World cup, to watch England Vs Sweden with two friends. Although the food and drink is cheap and ok value, I wanted to complain about the service I received. Although the waiting staff were quick to serve, I found one of the security staff members to be absolutely dispicable. This individual has such a disgusting callous manner, and I believe his boss is too afraid to speak up to him which is the reason he is still employed. He harrassed me and my friends, asking us to 'buy more drinks or I'll chuck you out'. It was his demeanour that put me off (he leant over our table, and directed all his comments at me), and the fact that he was accusing us of lodging, when we'd spent well over £20 on food and drink before the start of his shift! He did this twice, before saying he was going to 'get the manager on us'. I walked up to her before he could get there, as she had served us before he arrived. She seemed more afraid of him than we did, and offered a sheepish apology, and was more intent on trying to calm me down. What a disgusting employee (medium height, fairly muscular, dread locked man). I would never ever return to this place. blocpartyfan - 23 Aug 2006 13:06 |
| Very decent indeed. Always seems a happy place and, importantly, cheap to boot. Looks bad from the outside, but pleasant and homely inside. Best pub in Ilford. TeamSambo - 26 Jan 2006 12:52 |
| Great Pub atmosphere in here, everybody seems to know each other. Entertainment on fridays, saturdays and sundays. Friendly staff. And a new pool table without the tilt. Good Food too. anonymous - 5 Apr 2005 00:46 |
