Lloyds No.1, Hornchurch

Lloyds NO.1 Hornchurch, and being honest its No1
for a reason. I must say when invited out to this pub earlier in the week I had my doubts, after reading the reviews on here I truly believed that this pub was going to be a real dive. Yet after failing to get served in some of these 'better' pubs in Hornchurch I swallowed my pride and decided to embrace Lloyds No.1. Much to my amazement i was greeted by friendly and efficient service and had myself a decent pint at the same time. The pub had a nice atmosphere and I failed to see a 'chav' or 'coke head' around, although from a distance I'm sure one could mistake the chirpy old guys in the corner to be smoking cannabis as they ponder over their paper with a roll up in mouth. After giving this pub a fair chance I failed to see how it had such a low rating upon this site, maybe the old Lloyds is as it states below, but now the new Over 21's version is a pub I would recommend.
