| This used to be my local for many years when Bill was the landlord. It had a warm welcome and a great pint. I went back there for the first time in ages since it came under "new management", the pub is only a 5min walk from my house and I fancied a quick pint. I wish I'd stayed at home! The pubs now in a fairly poor state of repair, could do with a lick of paint and a good scrub. Its a shame to let such a good pub go to ruin! Theres now a group of really loud yobs at the bar, egged on by the new landlord, who doesn't seem to know how to run a pub, probably his first go at it I think? I drink a pub down the road now, better pint, better atmosphere, and clean as a whistle! RealPubMan - 29 Oct 2010 10:37 |
| Let's give the pub the credit it deserves! Some friends and I went in to watch the ill feted England v. Algeria match. It was comfortable in there, not too crowded. You had a collection of noisy oiks imitating the vuvusela (?), but that's to be expected. At half time the governor started bringing out plates of sandwiches, snacks etc..'There's food for you, lads', he said. Where else are you going to get a free buffet thrown in! They had well kept Youngs, Marstons and Abbott on. We had to numb the pain of England's performance by drinking copious amounts of beer and playing on the pub quiz machine. The governor even even gave us the winnings owed to us when the machine packed up. It's a lovely little pub! HornchurchJohn - 22 Jun 2010 14:43 |
| Been back a few times since Bill left. Not the same anymore. Young's was OK, but pub has deservedly lost any mention in the GBG. Locals at bar are typical Essex boys - drunk, loud and embarrassing. Back to Wetherspoon's then. BusterGut - 2 Apr 2010 15:57 |
| Sneaked an early evening pint of Black Sheep before going to the Queens Theatre (which sells GK IPA & Abbot). First time since new management and if I'm honest I couldn't tell the difference. Still a bit tired but I think it always was and always will be - kinda makes the place homely. A few locals in but no one took any notice of me. Service was OK as was the pint. twineyboy - 17 Jun 2009 00:53 |
| This is my local but I dont drink there that often. The beers have always been well kept and under the landlordship of Bill they were cheap. Bill struggled with owners The Romford Brewery Company to keep Youngs bitter on the Bar despite the fact that he sold 5 times as much of it than the bland old crap the brewery tried to flog. Sadly the inside of this boozer has suffered under the auspices of 'Modification' quite recently with the ripping out of the magnificent above the bar glass rack and the introduction of a giant plasm screen on the wall which is very annoying. The lovely mirrors on the wall have also been spoiled by two lamp brackets being mounted on them... what!!! Still the pub is now under new ownership and seems a bit more lively ...in my manor!
