Hudson Bay, Forest Gateback to pub details please note - reviews on this site are purely the opinion of site visitors, so don't take them too seriously.
In again,service still a mature, no idea who is in the queue and just serve anyone, no matter how long you have been waiting. Guy forgot my beer the other day, took a phone call and disappeared. The toilet cubical are just dire. O e has had the lick broken since I have been coming. The other is always blocked up a d still the checklist is ticked ti say all OK. They are disgusting. The customers are still cool. People put up with it,after speaking to a few, as it is cheap beer. So if you can afford to pay more go elsewhere, if not and you don't mind crappy toilets and service then give it a whirl.

Thought I would give it another go as the customers here are a great mix and seems friendly. However the service is still dire, staff cannot read the bar even though they see who has been waiting or not. They serve the nearest one to them even though you say you were next. No smile, no customer care just slip you beer in front of you and take your cash. Pure corporate mentality. My days here are numbered.

Been here a few times now. Service is slow, awkward and without any civility. The internet connection keeps dropping out and is shit. However a good mix of clientele with different cultures and friendly. Shame about the slow service as I would come here more often but I get better service in the Hackney Spoon.

went in here after football the other night. Good choice of beers on tap and we had the Adnams and Abbott. First pint of Abbott a little vinegary but really good after that....probably just needed something drawn through the pipes.
Staff friendly and helpful, clientele a mixture of all sorts but seemed a friendly enough place. Great gents toilets, and at �2.20 a pint would have no problem at all going back here

Bloke stabbed to death outside last month, reportedly after having an argument inside. What does THAT tell you? Avoid.

This place as got the slowest and the most unhelpful bar staff i have ever come across. Would not go to this dump again if it was the last pub on earth. STAY AWAY.

Sadly things are not well at the Hudson.A lot of the regulars have decamped to the Goose at Stratford.The level of service,not very high to start with, has dropped alarmingly with some staff being actively rude and others,especially Miss Piggy, going out of their way to be unhelpful.
They have replaced most of the seats with cheap new ones which turn your bum numb after about 30 minutes,perhaps this is to facilitate a quick turnover in customers,in which case it is a definite success.Avoid.

A typical Wetherspoon pub at the lower end of the market.Beer is generally good,with the exception of the San Miguel which is so frothy they throw away 2 pints to get 1,now they get annoyed if you ask for it-shame it'a great pint.
The day trade consists of dossers,retired and the workshy-normal for Wetherspoons,but friendly enough-evenings,forget it.
The staff are the usual mix of incompetents and disinterested,apart from Moyna who is a gem,and David,the deputy manager,who is a dear,if you get my drift.
Prices are the lowest in the area,and although it's looking a little tired decoratively you could do worse than give it a visit.
