| Locals pub in a prominent position on a busy road junction, the kind of location supermarket chains love. Luckily there's a large Sainsburys just down the road. The pub has a front bar and a couple of smaller rooms behind the bar, including one with a darts board. Nearly everybody appeared to be local. The barmaid seemed a character. She was boasted that she'd been there 5 months and was easily the longest serving. I'm not surprised. Youngs Ordinary & Sharps Doom Bar was the ale selection. I went for the Youngs. Not worth the walk out of Hornchurch town centre. blue_scrumpy - 11 Oct 2015 21:28 |
| This used to be my local for many years when Bill was the landlord. It had a warm welcome and a great pint. I went back there for the first time in ages since it came under "new management", the pub is only a 5min walk from my house and I fancied a quick pint. I wish I'd stayed at home! The pubs now in a fairly poor state of repair, could do with a lick of paint and a good scrub. Its a shame to let such a good pub go to ruin! Theres now a group of really loud yobs at the bar, egged on by the new landlord, who doesn't seem to know how to run a pub, probably his first go at it I think? I drink a pub down the road now, better pint, better atmosphere, and clean as a whistle! RealPubMan - 29 Oct 2010 10:37 |
| Let's give the pub the credit it deserves! Some friends and I went in to watch the ill feted England v. Algeria match. It was comfortable in there, not too crowded. You had a collection of noisy oiks imitating the vuvusela (?), but that's to be expected. At half time the governor started bringing out plates of sandwiches, snacks etc..'There's food for you, lads', he said. Where else are you going to get a free buffet thrown in! They had well kept Youngs, Marstons and Abbott on. We had to numb the pain of England's performance by drinking copious amounts of beer and playing on the pub quiz machine. The governor even even gave us the winnings owed to us when the machine packed up. It's a lovely little pub! HornchurchJohn - 22 Jun 2010 14:43 |
| Been back a few times since Bill left. Not the same anymore. Young's was OK, but pub has deservedly lost any mention in the GBG. Locals at bar are typical Essex boys - drunk, loud and embarrassing. Back to Wetherspoon's then. BusterGut - 2 Apr 2010 15:57 |
| Sneaked an early evening pint of Black Sheep before going to the Queens Theatre (which sells GK IPA & Abbot). First time since new management and if I'm honest I couldn't tell the difference. Still a bit tired but I think it always was and always will be - kinda makes the place homely. A few locals in but no one took any notice of me. Service was OK as was the pint. twineyboy - 17 Jun 2009 00:53 |
