Really nice pub visit, had been meaning to go there for a while, but didn't get the chance! Upon entering found it to be very spacious and welcoming.They had a band on when we went which was fun, and we found it was friendly towards kids.The staff were also really nice, friendly and welcoming (which sometimes is quite rare!)The food (starters and mains) were tasty, better then most of the pubs we've been to recently! The only thing that let it down were the desserts, they didn't taste great at all, a bit of a strange flavour to them but all in all we'd definitely go to the pub again and more often too!

Spectacular roast. Been a while since we had a decent Sunday roast in a pub but we couldn't fault this. Beef was edge to edge pink but fat was rendered. Potatoes were fluffy/crispy and the variety of veg was great (sweet carrots, buttery leeks and sharp cabbage). Cauliflower cheese side was also the perfect consistency and well seasoned. House wine was a great value Romanian red. Really wasn't expecting much but will 100% be back for the food, clearly they've focused on quality here. Have paid a lot more in supposed gastropubs and been disappointed. Selection of beers and vibe was also great, but this was expected.

I think this is probably the most Normal boozer on the high street. I wish the outdoor area had less sand. Seldom see families with small children in here which is definitely a plus for me. the prices are so-so, despite being in zone 4 they're keeping us grounded and reminding us leytonstone is still a part of london with them. There are cheaper pints about but it's got a cosier atmosphere than wetherspoons and it's not overpopulated with IPAs. I've never tried the food but judging by how overrun it seems to be with OAP's on sundays i imagine getting a table requires some pre-planning.

Beautiful old pub with very tall ceiling, lots of different seating options. Small food menu but very tasty, we had the burgers and they were lovely.

We booked here as we have family living nearby and they highly recommended this hotel. Unfortunately the day before we are were due to arrive, my partner fell ill with covid. As it was so late, I fully expected the best case scenario to be offered a date change and worst case, having to pay the full room rate for the missed night. I phoned the hotel and the gentleman who answered could not have been more helpful or polite. He immediately cancelled the booking, said he would waive the fee and wished my partner a speedy recovery. We will definitely be staying and using the restaurant here in the future. Top notch customer. Service and given by a small company that could easily have been justified in not refunding given the short notice. Thank you!

Nice pub. Live music when we visited Sunday afternoon. Very good roast dinner. Great selection of vegetables. Generous adults and kids portions. Friendly staff.

We didn't stay here, but went for Sunday roast and it was so good! More than enough food.

Consistently the worst smelling toilets in the borough. Only leaving this review in the hope they sort it out. It's been this way for years.
