About This Pub

You know, when I was having a look at Iona Social Club, it really struck me as one of those unpretentious places that just hits the spot for a laid-back night out. Most folks rave about the nice atmosphere and the beer, which seems spot on and reasonably priced – ideal if you're popping in for a pint with friends. It's got that family-friendly charm with live music on the weekends and all the big sports games on the telly, creating a lively but not overwhelming buzz. That said, I have to mention one review that painted a different picture; someone had a right nightmare with a birthday do, where the regular crowd interfered and messed up the decorations, which sounds pretty frustrating. Overall, with such a strong rating from the reviews, I'd say it's worth a visit if you're in Hornchurch and after somewhere straightforward and enjoyable, but perhaps steer clear if you're planning something more formal.

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The atmosphere is warm and welcoming, making it a lovely spot for a relaxed evening with mates.
  • They've got a great selection of beer at really good prices, which is always a winner.
  • It's family-friendly with plenty of seating, live entertainment on weekends, and sports screenings that create a buzzing vibe without feeling too crowded.
  • A solid place for casual meet-ups or catching the footy, with friendly staff and a generally positive feel.
Cons
  • There have been issues with private functions, like one review mentioning decorations being moved and regular crowds getting in the way, which could spoil a special occasion.
  • Based on the feedback, it might not be the best choice for organised events, as things can get a bit chaotic with non-event goers around.

ABSOLUTE SHOCKING AVOID! Had my wife’s 30th at this absolute dump, was told members would usually avoid when having a private function however was far from that when arriving it was packed with members All the decorations had been moved, members kicking our bags on the floor as they were in the was of the fruit machine , telling the kids to “shh” and making our friends and family feel uncomfortable, certain members off staff were also rude and made us go out the back in the rain to throw black bags out at night Also allowed people with no membership in who was also inappropriate to some women. Members in general were rude and made the night uncomfortable even tho it was a private function so all in all I would highly recommend the pub down the road!! Also would leave no stars but I have to put one to make a review unfortunately absolute shambles of a place

Very family friendly place, lots of seating and on the weekend live entertainment. Also shows sports, football, rugby etc so it's a good atmosphere on game day without being overcrowded
