About This Pub
You know, when you're looking for a solid pub to pop into with friends, The Aviator in Woodford really stands out as a lovely option. It's got that fresh, modern feel without losing the warmth that makes a good pub special – think comfortable seating and a welcoming atmosphere where you can unwind after a long week. The staff are just fantastic; they're quick to recommend dishes or pour a pint, and from what I've heard from folks who've been, they go the extra mile to make sure everyone's happy. The food is where it shines brightest – their Sunday roasts are legendary, with juicy meats, unlimited Yorkshire puds, and lashings of gravy that leave you properly satisfied, alongside a menu full of tasty seasonal specials that cater to all tastes. And don't overlook the drinks; there's a cracking range of ales and beers that pair perfectly with it all. It's reasonably priced too, with some tempting offers that make it easy on the wallet. On the flip side, if you're after that rustic, no-frills pub vibe, it might not quite hit the mark, and it does get buzzing on busier days, so planning ahead is a good idea. All in all, it's a gem of a place that I'd happily recommend for a bite and a bevvy – you'll likely leave with a smile and already planning your next visit.

Holy cow! What an amazing experience we had & it was all thanks to the incredible staff. The restaurant itself is beautifully decorated, even the toilets I didn’t feel worthy of using. And the food was gorgeous, brilliant portions and range of meals. The staff – Each and every one of them deserves high praise, they all did The Aviator justice. Smiley, friendly, attentive, caring, and they went above and beyond to make us feel special. Thanks to each & every one of you, we’ll be sure to return! Highlyyyyy recommend!!!
We have just enjoyed a Fathers Day meal. My son and I had the Sunday Sharer which completely exceeded my expectations. They were generous with the meat, which was moist and tender, and the unlimited Yorkshire puddings and gravy was so generous. They didn’t wait for us to ask, they kept suggesting did we want more?? My husband had the Fathers Day steak and he loved it. The service has to be mentioned. Outstanding! Emily H was so good. She handled all our changes and kept checking on us. She was really knowledgable about the food and allergies and we hope she is our server again next time because we will certainly return!
We had the most fabulous Sunday lunch at the Aviator Pub – hands down the best Sunday roast around! Everything was cooked to perfection!
A special shout-out to our waitress Erin, who was just wonderful. So friendly, attentive, and genuinely warm – she made us feel really looked after from the moment we arrived.
Can’t recommend it enough if you’re looking for a cosy spot with incredible food and brilliant service. We’ll definitely be back!
