| This place has the usual 'Spoons problem of understaffing, but apart from that its fine. While not denying that some of the more 'colourful' locals do pop in its really a bit of a haven from our lovely East End reality show going on outside. Ive never found the staff a problem - most have been fine - ..and I love their microwaved roasts - a bargain Magpie - 14 May 2008 15:22 |
| Oh dear Sir Henry was in a bad mood wasnt he.I can only assume he has never been to a Wetherspoons before;The Walnut Tree is no worse, and a little bit better than, most of them.I have never had a bad pint there, and the majority of the staff are splendid.I wouldnt particularly want to be in there at 10pm on a Friday night but then that goes for a lot of high street pubs.Cheers! georgekaplan - 16 Feb 2008 10:02 |
| For sometime now I have been looking for a pub that is mainly filled with teenagers in hoodies drinking Bacardi Breezers while spitting on the floor and ignoring the smoking ban. I have also searched high and low for a pub where the bar staff are very Vicky Pollard-esque in their approach to serving you a pint of flat tasteless beer and I have positively scoured the corners of the globe to find a drinking establishment where drugs can be purchased in the gents lavatory from an under aged acne ridden chav. So imagine my delight when I stumbled across The Walnut Tree in Leytonstone which has all of the above qualities and then some. When I ordered food at the bar I specifically asked for my food (a roast dinner) to be cooked from frozen in a microwave and I was reassured that this was standard practice but even I didn't count on the food coming out stone cold which I thought may have come at extra cost. Those who welcome confrontation from drunk teenage yobs and feel totally unsafe taking out their wallets in full view of them will think they've died and gone to heaven in this place.

| Visited this pub on Thursday, 16 August 2007 between 12 noon and 5 pm. A large roomy pub with plenty of seating. 4 'guest' ales on plus the usual fall-back ones. Service a little slow, well it is Wetherspoons! Reasonably busy with a mixed range of customers. Staff were very pleasant. The only drawback was the gents toilets which smelt quite strongly, as the extractors were not working. Also the hourly inspection routine which used to be a feature of the JDW chain seems to have ceased. The floor needed a good wiping as it was fairly wet from those who seem incapable of aiming properly! In all a better than usual pub for this chain and I would definitely visit again. wyndham - 17 Aug 2007 21:31 |
| Pleased to see the real ale situation getting back - still some downs but the choice is improving. tanggula - 3 Jul 2007 17:46 |
