Just been to this fantastic place. We had a birthday dinner. The food was out of this world, I almost composed a poem!!! I would recommend this experience!

Ruined our New Years Eve Group of us chose this venue to celebrate. Was a terrible evening. We used the App facility to order straight forward drinks. Rounds were repeatedly brought out wrong. We went to the bar to raise this with the server making the drinks a tall lady with reddish dyed hair. Instead of apologies she repeatedly threatened to bar us there and then saying she was on her own and it was ‘not my fault’. She was rude beyond belief. A really horrible person this woman, should not work in a pub if cannot take the pressure. We decided after four rounds of wrong drinks to leave at 8pm and find somewhere more hospitable and professional.

I sometimes come here to meet a friend who lives in Bethnal Green, because it's convenient for both of us to travel to, and we both know what to expect - a decent selection of ales at lower than average prices, and a traditional pub atmosphere (which is not always guaranteed in a 'Spoon's). On this visit a couple of days ago, the service was particularly quick, in spite of the pub already being close to full by mid-afternoon (it's a favourite with Wanstead's pensioners). One of the bar staff was especially friendly and helpful (I thought he deserved a mention for his attitude)! We were very satisfied with the selection of ales, which included a couple from Redemption and some others from independent London breweries; all of the ones we had were well-kept. And amongst the 'craft' offerings was a beer from a brewery that's just around the corner from my local, which pleased me no end. We had food a couple of times during the several hours we were there - nothing particularly special, but served in record time. It saw us through until we left much, much later... This is not a pub for anyone looking for a young, buzzing atmosphere or a 'gastro' dining experience! But for what it does - i.e. the JDW model in an historical pub setting - its management makes a very good job of. Well done - I expect to make many more return visits!

Just had the most embarrassing experience in the George Wanstead. I ordered two drinks on the app at the table, despite the pub being very quiet I waited over 20 minutes, I went to the bar to enquire, which was empty and saw my drinks waiting at the end. The barman brought them to me I said they were flat. With that he called the manager over who said that the drinks were taken to my table twice (total lie as we hadn’t moved why would we ? we had ordered drinks ?) she then accused me of threatening her staff (lie) after finishing our drinks we ordered another round, after paying on the app the manager came over and said they were refusing to serve us anymore ? I have been drinking in the George for 40 years and have NEVER come across such rude and threatening service. Accused of threatening the staff (everyone who knows me knows that would never happen).

Lunch orders were cancelled so no lunch orders being taken for anyone. This was way into the afternoon. Clearly understaffed. And the staff who were present were not interested. Absolutely poorest service I have had in a veery long time. Cannot recommend.

Really enjoyed the jerk chicken, fish and rice and peas. Friendly and attentive staff. Plus there is air con!

Usually have no problems after coming in from a late shift of using this pub, the service is normally fine and the staff are friendly and very efficient. Sadly our visit yesterday was a complete disaster, I went there with a colleague for a after work drink but as soon as it was quarter past midnight I was barked at by a member of staff who was on the other side of the bar to drink up and make a move bearing in mind that I am new to the area and we was the first ones forced out even though thee as 5 tables of people left I truly feel that this is one bad apple regardless of if its a Sunday evening is not being compliant of the drink up time as I was more than willing to spend more money but drink up and leave by 00:20 . I feel that this particular maverick bad apple will be dealt with accordingly and hopefully he will be gone by our next visit

I hired the Post Restaurant for my 50th birthday party. The venue is beautiful and is a great space for dining and once tables are cleared a great space to mingle and dance. I had both a private buffet dinner followed by a party. The food, staff and execution of the whole night was excellent. .I cannot thank Pamela and her team enough for their professionalism, high quality customer service and attentiveness to me and my guests. I would recommend The Post in Penge and will definitely be back!

Service is only getting any stars because of the beautiful young lady who I believe is called Tanya, waiting too long for my food.Tanya kept me entertained and updated whilst I waited.Thank you Tanya.
Wonderful evening had by all ! The food was amazing and piping hot too, we tried many different dishes, all were delicious, friendly staff and lots of jokes with the manager Andy, will definitely go back

New place to Penge, finally got to try it. The food was fantastic, I had the curry goat with beans and rice, was off the scale good.The ladies who looked after us were lovely and there was even a hello from the boss ?Atmosphere was quiet as we were almost the only people there, which is a shame for the quality of the place. The best food in the area, based on this meal. We will be back.Vegetarian options: Some good, authentic options.Kid-friendliness: Very friendly people.

It’s a very large spoons, looking a bit tired and drab around the edges, it gets very busy Service, drinks and prices are ok Use the app, much faster than waiting at the bar …..life is just too short
