94/100
The Boathouse Cafe and Bar is a charming spot by the river in Barking, with a welcoming atmosphere, great drinks, and friendly faces that make it a real treat for a casual get-together.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff and owner are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a chilled-out vibe with stunning views of the River Roding, especially from the outdoor terrace – perfect for a relaxing evening.
  • They offer a great selection of drinks, including hard-to-find ciders and tasty cocktails, with happy hour deals that are spot on.
  • The atmosphere is trendy and characterful, with outdoor seating that's lovely when the weather's nice, and it's a hidden gem in Barking.
Areas for Improvement
  • The operating hours can seem a bit inconsistent or confusing based on what's listed, so it's worth double-checking before heading out.
  • The menu is pretty simple, with just a few snacks and drinks options, which might not satisfy if you're after a full meal.
  • There's not much recent buzz with no new reviews in the last six months, so it could feel a tad quiet depending on when you visit.
  • The online presence is basic, just an Instagram page, which means you might not get all the details you need upfront.

91/100
Black Moon Lounge is a welcoming London spot with scrumptious food and a lively atmosphere, but it's worth keeping an eye on the prices to avoid any surprises.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely delicious and fresh, with plenty of rave reviews about how it can even win over picky eaters—it's a real treat for trying new dishes.
  • The service is warm and attentive; staff like Polina and Adil go out of their way to make you feel welcome, especially during quieter times.
  • It's a clean and inviting spot with a great atmosphere, perfect for a bit of entertainment like shisha or just enjoying the vibe.
  • Prices are generally seen as accessible, catering to different budgets, making it a solid choice for a night out without breaking the bank.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some dishes can be overpriced, like those steaks that left one visitor feeling ripped off at £92 for two—it's a bit of a shock if you're not expecting it.
  • The food isn't always spot-on; a few have mentioned it lacking in bold flavours or seasoning, so you might end up reaching for the salt.
  • Service can be hit or miss, with one experience rating it just okay, suggesting it might not be consistently top-notch during busier times.
  • While most love the place, there are occasional horror stories about disappointing meals that could put a damper on your evening.

The Boleyn Tavern is a delightful historic pub in East London that's full of character and serves up solid food and drinks, making it a top spot for a relaxed get-together, though it has a few quirks like overly chatty crowds.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely charming, with that classic British pub feel—think ornate dark wood and etched glass that make you feel like you've stepped back in time.
  • The food is a real highlight; from tasty burgers and fresh sea bass to delicious veggie roasts, it's all spot on and hits the spot after a long day.
  • Staff are lovely and welcoming, always up for a chat and making sure you feel right at home with a smile and helpful advice on drinks.
  • They've got a great selection of beers, including perfectly poured Guinness and some cracking craft options, which is perfect for a casual catch-up.
  • It's affordable too, so you can enjoy a proper pint and a bite without breaking the bank, making it a go-to for everyday outings.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some of the regulars can be a bit too keen for a chat, which might feel a tad overwhelming if you're after a quiet evening.
  • There are minor niggles with the food, like the fish skin not being as crispy as you'd hope, or the lamb not quite suiting everyone's taste.
  • Opening hours can seem a bit patchy from what I've seen, so it's worth double-checking if you're planning a visit outside peak times.

Moroccan Garden is a charming shisha bar in Ilford that's got a lot going for it with its inviting atmosphere and attentive service, but it's worth keeping an eye out for the occasional slip-up with food or staff interactions.
Pros and Cons
What's Great

  • It's a great spot for unwinding, especially during off-peak times like weekday lunches, where you can enjoy a peaceful visit.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been reports of food not always being fresh, with some describing it as stale or reheated, which can put a dampener on things.
  • Occasionally, the service might feel a bit off, with some feeling uncomfortable due to unprofessional behaviour from the team.
  • It might not suit everyone if you're after a lively crowd, as experiences can vary depending on when you pop in.

The Red Lion is a historic East Ham pub with cracking pizzas, friendly service, and a lovely garden, but it's let down by shabby decor and some hygiene niggles.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and always up for a chat, making you feel right at home.
  • Their stone-baked pizzas are an absolute treat – crispy, perfectly cooked, and full of flavour.
  • The garden is spacious and sunny, ideal for a relaxed afternoon with a pint.
  • It's got a great mix of locals and newcomers, creating a welcoming and lively vibe.
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, like a pint of Amstel for around £4.40, which is spot on for a casual outing.
Areas for Improvement
  • The interior can be a bit shabby with torn seats, sticky tables, and even some dead bugs, which isn't very appealing.
  • Food prices feel a tad over the top, especially when the surroundings don't quite match up.
  • The inside is a bit dingy and the music can get too loud, which might spoil the mood.
  • Hygiene standards seem lacking in places, making it a worry if you're thinking of ordering food.
  • It can feel a bit empty or off-putting at first glance, so you might prefer sticking to the outdoor areas.

Areas for Improvement
  • The music can get pretty loud, especially if you're in the guesthouse, making it tough to get a good night's sleep when things carry on late.
  • There have been issues with management not responding quickly to problems, like sorting out refunds or queries, which can leave you feeling a bit let down.
  • It might feel a tad overwhelming if you're after a quiet spot, as the lively atmosphere isn't always suited to those wanting a more relaxed visit.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely spot on – it's a brilliant spot to unwind and catch up with mates or family, with a cosy and welcoming vibe that makes you feel right at home.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere – perfect for relaxing with mates, whether you're watching sports on the screens or enjoying a game of pool or darts.
  • The food and drinks are top-notch; think tasty cocktails, fresh oysters, and that amazing fish pie – it's a real treat for a pub meal.
  • There's a lovely beer garden and even riverside seating, which adds a nice touch for those sunny days out.
  • As the only pub in the area, it's a reliable spot that's open every day, with a family-friendly vibe that makes it accessible for all.
Areas for Improvement
  • There was a bit of miscommunication in service mentioned in one review, which could lead to the odd hiccup if you're in a rush.
  • Without an official website or claimed online presence, it's not the easiest place to get more details or updates before heading over.
  • Being a bit out of the way in SE28, it might not be the most convenient for those not local, though that's part and parcel of a neighbourhood gem.

China Friend in Barking is a solid spot for affordable Chinese grub with a welcoming atmosphere, though it's had a few mixed reviews lately that show it's not perfect every time.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is generally delicious and packed with flavour, especially their fresh Cantonese and Hong Kongese dishes that hit the spot after a long day.
  • Portions are generous, so you'll likely leave feeling well-fed without breaking the bank – it's a proper bargain for an inexpensive spot.
  • The staff are friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home, and they've got that cosy, minimalist vibe that's perfect for a relaxed meal.
  • It's halal and offers eat-in or delivery, with handy perks like free prawn crackers for orders over £15, which is a nice touch for families or groups.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some recent orders have been a bit disappointing, with watery dishes and smaller portions that don't quite live up to expectations, especially for regulars.
  • Service can be inconsistent; a few folks have mentioned less than friendly experiences, which might put a dampener on your visit.
  • Accessibility is a downside – while the main area is easy to get to, there aren't proper facilities for wheelchair users in the toilets, which is a shame.
  • Based on a couple of recent reviews, the quality seems to vary, so it might not always be the reliable choice for a quick bite.

The Golden Fleece is a proper traditional pub in London that's full of charm, with a huge beer garden and friendly service, making it ideal for a relaxed catch-up over good food and drinks.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The beer garden is absolutely massive and a brilliant spot for soaking up the sun, especially with its views of Wanstead Flats nearby.
  • They serve up some cracking food, like those hearty roasts that hit the spot after a walk in the greenspace.
  • The staff are really top-notch and friendly, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's a fantastic place for catching live sports, with Sky Sports and TNT available, so you won't miss a moment of the action.
  • Dog-friendly vibes mean you can bring your furry friend along, and there's a welcoming family atmosphere during the day.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get pretty packed, especially on busy evenings or during big sports events, so you might have to wait for a table.
  • As a traditional pub, it's not the spot if you're after something more upscale or gastro-like – it's all about straightforward, no-fuss vibes.
  • There's a rule that kids under 18 aren't allowed after 9 PM due to licensing, which could be a bit of a hassle for families wanting a late outing.

  • It might not suit everyone if you're not keen on shisha, as that's the main draw here.

  • The atmosphere is clean and inviting, perfect for a casual lunch, family get-together, or even a solo stop for great coffee and tea.
Areas for Improvement

  • The coffee can be a tad light and not as strong as some folks might hope, which is a shame if you're after a proper kick.
  • It gets pretty busy, especially on weekends, so you might end up waiting in a queue, which can put a damper on spontaneous visits.

  • Not every dish is a winner – for instance, the corn cakes didn't impress everyone, so it pays to choose carefully if you're trying new items.
  • The garlic sauce can pack a real punch, which might surprise those not expecting it spicy, so it's worth asking about if you're sensitive to heat.

Saravanaa Bhavan is a gem for Indian cuisine lovers, offering authentic, tasty dishes at great value, though it's straightforward in style and might not suit everyone.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely authentic and packed with flavour – it's like a trip to India without leaving London!
  • Prices are really reasonable, making it a brilliant spot for a budget-friendly meal with mates.
  • There's always a fantastic variety of dishes to choose from, so you're spoilt for choice every time.
  • The service is prompt and friendly, which makes the whole experience feel welcoming and efficient.
  • It's clean and well-maintained, perfect for popping in with family or friends for a relaxed bite.
Areas for Improvement
  • The ambiance is quite simple and functional – it's more about the food than fancy decor, so it might not feel all that atmospheric.
  • Some dishes could disappoint if you're expecting something different; for instance, the vegetarian options might not match up to non-veg experiences elsewhere.
  • There could be minor niggles like seating near the toilets, which might put a dampener on things if you're unlucky with your table.

Deuce Lounge in Barking is a vibrant spot with cracking music and drinks that promises a memorable night, but it's worth noting some mixed experiences with the staff that could affect your enjoyment.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The atmosphere is absolutely buzzing with a fantastic mix of music like Afrobeats, Bashment, RnB, and Amapiano, making it a brilliant spot for a lively night out.
  • They offer premium services such as VIP bottle service and live DJ entertainment, which really elevate the experience and give you that personalised touch.
  • The cocktails and food have received glowing feedback, with folks raving about the delicious options and fun vibes that keep everyone coming back.
  • It's a welcoming place for a diverse crowd, especially if you're after an energetic, Afro-inspired scene in Barking that's perfect for letting loose.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some unsettling reports of the owner and their friends acting hostile, which has made a few visitors feel uncomfortable and unsafe.
  • A couple of reviews mention overcharging or not being treated nicely, which can really put a dampener on what should be a fun evening.
  • The lounge only opens a few days a week, typically late into the night, so it might not fit everyone's schedule or be ideal for a spontaneous visit.
  • Recent feedback suggests the overall vibe can sometimes feel off, with concerns about interactions that leave you wishing for better hospitality.

The owner and his friends were so hostile towards us. They made us feel very uncomfortable and unsafe.

Ladies do NOT go to this lounge. The vibe is off and the owner and his friends are bullies who threaten women for their numbers. Very disgusting and hostile behavior. Do not take the risk

Winsor House Brewers Fayre is a welcoming pub in London that's spot on for casual meals, drinks, and family gatherings, offering solid value and friendly service, though it has its busier, noisier moments.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • It's conveniently located right next to Beckton DLR Station, making it a breeze to nip in for a bite or a pint after travelling.
  • The menu's got a lovely variety with great value options, like mains from just £5 at lunchtime, and dishes that are generous and full of flavour.
  • The staff are absolute gems – friendly, efficient, and always up for a chat, which really makes you feel at home.
  • They show live football and have a spacious beer garden that's brilliant for soaking up the sun with a drink in hand.
  • The Sunday carvery is a proper treat, with succulent meats and family-friendly vibes, plus breakfast options that kick off the day nicely.
Areas for Improvement
  • It can get a bit noisy in the main areas, though there are some quieter spots if you look around.
  • Some dishes might not quite live up to expectations, like the prawn cocktail that had barely any prawns in it.
  • With an overall rating around 3.6, it's clear that while it's good for many, it doesn't wow everyone, so experiences can vary.

Barge Aground

Barge Aground is a fresh pub in Barking that's yet to open its doors properly, but its quirky name hints at some potential for a good time once it's sorted.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The name 'Barge Aground' has a charming, nautical vibe that could make for a fun and memorable spot once it's up and running.
  • It's situated in Barking, which might be a handy location for locals looking for a new haunt in the area.
Areas for Improvement
  • It's currently closed, so you won't be able to nip in for a pint or a bite right now, which is a bit of a shame.
  • With no reviews or ratings to go on, it's tricky to get a sense of the atmosphere, service, or grub – it feels like it's still finding its feet.
  • No website or online presence means it's not easy to check out menus, events, or opening times in advance.
