I never used to use this pub as it had a bit of a reputation but now go in there every Saturday night after football and i think is a great pub . Loads of screens in the place , beer is reasonably priced , Bar Staff are polite and lots of ladies all dressed up and looking fine and the music is really good on a Saturday night . Ive been ther about 20 times and have only seen one arguemnt and the bouncers are on the ball. The only thing i dont like is that i went here for an England match recently and was told that i was not allowed in , when i asked why they said thay had too many peopel in there , i asked if i coudl wait along with 10 other who started queing and then after 5 minutes they let us in without anyone coming out . Im not sure why they do thsi as i have seen it busier . Strange

I occasionally pop in here over the weekends as it is a decent old traditional pub and you can always have a seat and a good chat but the service and prices are shocking . I went in there this weekend and asked for a Carling extra cold and a redbull . The bar lady started serving me Guiness extra cold and when i pointed out i wanted a Carling she said that i asked for a guiness with reall attitude in her voice then she tutt at me . After all this she then charged me around �5 ( 4.70 i think ) which is the sort of price that pubs in Canary Wharf where i work charge which i think is so expensive . Every other pub in Hornchurch is cheaper . The bar staff are elderly as well and serve all the regulars before you and i once told the bar maid that she hads ignored me after i was waiting 20 minutes and she said that she was busy but as soon as a regular came in she shouted her name and served him straight away . If you dont mind paying over the top prices and being abused and ignored by the bar staff , then this pub is for you . Actually , after writing thsi im not sure why i pop in ther for a pleasent pint after all
