| This place used to be well dodgy when I lived nearby. Good real ale (as usual for a wetherspoon) but not too nice to bring my friends who didn't live in ponders end. The Goat is hte place for this area, unless you crave real ale, in which case come here. And Ponders End young blokes will always do what they do in car parks. Just 'allow it'! johnny_hay - 6 Mar 2011 00:44 |
| I am a very regular regular here and can confirm that this is the ONLY pub to go to in the area. The beer is always in good condition and excellent choice, and if you are not happy with it they will change it with no fuss at all. BUT. MOANS TO THE PUB: 1. Please get some more staff! I have had three foot spider webs growing on me waiting to get served. 2. Please get some more Sunday staff! (see above) 3. Please can you get rid of the Brentwood Brewery, it all tastes the same. 4. Stop them young blokes doing what they are doing in the car park on Saturday nights. 5. Bring back Gavin. proost - 6 Sep 2010 19:22 |
| A oasis of real beer in the desert of Londen's north-eastern outer suburbs. Not that much to look at from the outside, but inside the conversion has been done pretty well with some sensible lighting drawing the eye to the interesting architectural features and giving the main bar area a comfortable feel (although the former lobby and another space of to one side have a more spartan atmosphere). Ten handpumps, with the usual suspects and two"available soon" but my pint of Winter Warmer from the relatively local Brentwood Brewing Company was excellent value at just £1.95. The barman was pretty efficient too, so overall this must be one of the best pubs in the whole area. rpadam - 20 Feb 2010 10:37 |
| Loved loved loved the atmosphere and the friendly stuff...very airy and conviniently situated for us girls as there are bus stops not too far from the pub.Ace.xx rere - 6 May 2009 15:33 |
| This is a strange 'Spoons, more like a library than a pub as mentioned below. But for somewhere to get a decent pint and decent grub amongst all the fast food chicken shacks of the Hertford Road then it isn't too bad. And as I remember with fondness going to the Howard Hall for non-alcoholic pre-teen discos when it was a Dance Hall , it scores as another historic building that Wetherspoons has saved from the wrecking ball by turning it into a pub Gann - 2 Dec 2008 17:36 |
