The Huntsman And Hounds in Hornchurch

You know, when I popped into The Huntsman and Hounds, I have to say it really hit the spot for that classic pub feel we've all come to love. The staff are just lovely, always up for a chat and making sure you're well looked after, which makes the whole visit feel personal and welcoming. The food's a highlight too – think delicious roasts and a range of menus that cater to all tastes, whether you're after something hearty for Sunday lunch or a lighter bite during the week. It's got that warm atmosphere that's perfect for unwinding with friends, and being in such a historic spot adds a nice touch of charm. On the flip side, though, it's not without its hiccups; a couple of folks have mentioned dodgy experiences with meals that weren't up to scratch, like cold veg or poorly prepared dishes, which is a bit of a letdown when you're expecting reliable pub fare. Overall, it's got a good vibe going for it, and I'd say it's worth giving it a go if you're in the area – just keep expectations in check and maybe stick to the crowd-pleasers for a safer bet.
