| A lovely-looking pub right in the middle of Hornchurch High Street. If you like really loud ear-bashing live bands, a hot packed-out pub where you have to stand up all night on a Friday/Saturday - then fine. Personally, not my cup of tea. I like a quieter pub, where I can sit down and have a quiet, comfortable drink, so I will only go in there Mon-Weds when there are no trashy, live bands on. Lovely outside sitting area - great in the summer. If it wasnt for the ear-deafening live bands and been too packed out on Fri/Sat nights, I might go in there a bit more often CookieEssex - 2 May 2011 21:25 |
| I was very disappointed to find that the Kronenbourg was taken off and not coming back this was their only decent lager. From a very good pub with great smoking facilities it has now become a pub i will reluctantly drink in. jostle1959 - 15 Nov 2010 09:15 |
| popped in a while back on a recent trip back to the "manor" , the beer garden (the bit out the back , the small bit) has been painted and looked quite nice , the smoking area (old car park) was still pretty much the same , except they have now put a telly outside (different i spose) , inside the pub it was still pretty much the same , the smell was still there , had a pint , which wasnt too bad , cheaper than where i live , the staff seemed friendly but they always were , to be honest not much has changed except for as Tackleberry mentioned the drug dealing , was asked by 3 different people if i wanted some "sniff" ? and this was during the day (around 3pm) pub is still pretty much the same as it used to be except for being able to buy the ICI back catalog in the pub romfordir - 29 Sep 2010 10:30 |

| Since my first review of this establishement, some six months ago, I thought an update would be useful. STILL FIRKIN' SHAMEFULL!!!! Despite a recent exodus of regulars and an influx of wallet laden mug punters, things are disapointingly the same. The lesson that should be learnt is by the customers £££££ in the till is all that counts. This was backed up by a local newspaper review of the "Bull". Landlady praised for increasing income and best Live Venue in the area, as voted by the customers. I never saw any voting forms in the pub, or any other local venues to be honest! Firkin management "Over the moon" with turnover during a resessional time. Not surprising that the bar prices INCREASED AGAIN after this loacl publicity stunt. There is a resurrgent stunt where the beer pipes get cleaned during opening hours. So your desired tipple of choice goes off line untill the next day! Where does the money go? Not on sorting out the DISGUSTING TOILETS (Gents and Ladies) thats for sure. The stench is still dreadful, even after the appearance of a "Glade-Plug-In" freshner. (Yes we saw that one coming from the 99p store over the road!!) The bar flies have gone.Whether this was extermination or their own free will, the jury is still undecided. There are some new umbrellas/tables/barriers to appease the smokers, but that's it. 6 months and its still as bad as before. I still feel for the bar staff, who bear the brunt of the ignorant mannerless customers who now feel the urge to shout "Yid Army" every ten minutes. Am I getting old for this venue? Probably, but I'm gonna be a bu99er while I drink there this Xmas, and I'm not paying a tenna for some rather poor xmas entertainment, I'm off to the post office for another grumble.
