Bar experiences in Ilford

“This pub always used to be my local but was looking old and tired. They’ve recently had a refurb and honestly it looks great. Service is good, food is tasty and it’s one of the few proper pubs left. Will definitely be my local again. Highly recommend it!”

“Absolutely amazing food. I loved this food so much that my family is having to tell me to stop asking to eat it. Man the food was incredible the vegetarian hotdog is to die for and the pizza was moist thick and lovely. In fact we even got a burger for free but don't expect it everytime. But even then all the food was delicious and perfect”

“Good local Chinese restaurants are on the wane so thank the stars for Mandarin Palace. The food is delicious and the portions are very generous indeed. The service is prompt and courteous. There is parking apparently round the back. The toilets are clean but in need of refurbishment. Celebrating 50 years so 15 per cent off (dining only) up to 31 July 2024! Expensive but worth it. We went to celebrate my daughters 18th. The portions are HUGE so if ordering set menu perhaps order for one less person.”

“Superlative Ambience atmosphere qnd Genuine Aromatic Thai Food. Everything is 100% tasty and Halal. Service is excellent and Noodles are just right. Prawn need careful cooking not to get chewy and chef was careful. And succulent beef was wow. Amazing. Full Marks.”

“Fantastic Service from Rafaela Today! I stopped by Old Maypole today and was genuinely impressed with the service Rafaela provided. She was welcoming from the moment I walked in and helped me with exactly what I needed. Her attention to detail and friendly attitude made the visit so much smoother. Truly top-notch service—thank you, Rafaela!”

“We just celebrated my son's 18th Bday here. We been living in this neighbourhood for over a decade and we never visited the pub as it had a bad reputation but since new management took over and the pub been refurbished it looks truly amazing. Great food menu. Great affordable variety of drinks. The service is impeccable and very friendly staff. My husband is a wheelchair user, the pub has wheelchair access but you got to put the foldable ramp down yourself what didn't bother us as we do that daily at home anyway. Overall a 5* pub very clean and tidy... And they do karaoke on Thursdays aswell. A place I highly recommend.”

“Lovely place. Shisha was great. Service was amazing, staff look after you”

“First time here with family and we all loved it. We came when it was rather quiet. All the staff were extremely friendly and attentive. All our courses was delicious. The restaurant was clean. Parking available in a nearby carpark free in the evening. Praying facilities also available. Staff also gave free brownie favour to the kids. Will return again.”

“This is my third time going in here and I always had good time and vibes, the staff and the manager are very friendly and professional, We went also in group during the football game(England and Spain) and the servings was still good even if the pub was full, I recommend the chips and the chicken, there is also lots of space outside in the "garden" and inside. Recommend to everyone”

“I always visit thus shop and served very nicely. The staff is so polite and friendly. Everyone should must visit here.”

“We booked a private dining area on the lower ground floor for an intimate graduation celebration and the service and food was outstanding! We ordered a few tawa grills which was absolutely delicious 10/10 and some biriyanis. The grills were cooked to perfection, tender and flavourful and the lamb chops was the best. With all honesty, the food was the best Pakistani food we’ve had at a restaurant. The private dining area is beautiful itself and perfect for private functions. All the staff including manager Sarwar and the waitresses provided the best service. Thank you for a memorable evening.”

“I went in this restaurant many times, the food is good I can recommend the hamburger with chips , also I want to say a big Thank you to Tony Barbu always very kind and smiling, very professional staff, the prices are good, the place is amazing , after lunch or dinner you can also enjoy a walk in the park around the lake”

“Sushi chef thank you for a wonderful meal,have tried sushi from all over London yours was the best. The tastes the portions perfect have recommended to friends and family can't wait to order again. Please stay put don't move anywhere”

“I recently stopped by Torino’s, and I was seriously impressed! The pizza was absolutely delicious — perfectly crisp crust, flavorful sauce, and just the right amount of cheese. You can tell they use fresh ingredients, because every bite was packed with flavor. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, making it a great spot to enjoy a casual meal with friends or family. The staff were friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was just right.”

“This is the second order and I’ve had no issues with either. Pizzas have been hot, tasty, as ordered and delivered within about half an hour. I ordered online so only had contact with the two different drivers and both have been pleasant. Thanks”

“Not the best looking pub in the world but really friendly staff and punters, the food is very good specifically the fish curry”

“I checked various pages for good prices and gave up. But then I found holidacious, I was shocked at the amazing prices they offered for my journey to spain including great accommodations. I had a great experience with the travel agent as he was very kind and met all the demands for my journey. Anytime I decide go on holiday, I will for sure use holidacious again.”

“Found this place by chance! Had the chefs special Kanchans Chicken Handi wow an amazing dish! Also had the Papadi Chaat that was one of the best I’ve tried. And I’m a chaat connoisseur!!”

“I have had the best kebab ever tonight. I have lived in the area for years and wish I had gone to this place years ago. Really good doner meat and chilli sauce. Generous portion size.”

“This lovely restaurant was recommended by a friend. We went today the Boxing Day for a family meal at lunch time. We had the BBQ and hot pot. There’s lots of great selection of meat, seafood , fruits and vegetables. I was quite surprised by the freshly made nan bread, pizza, kimchi, shushi and so on. Definitely good value for money and parking nearby is very convenient as well.”

“Excellent place to stay. I went to London for meetings and work and I really liked this place. Very comfortable place, room and bed, and reasonable prices which is much appreciated. There is a fridge available in each room and it was really quiet, I slept really well. There are 3 Wi-Fi connections, it was great to work remotely. Additionally the location is well connected with the Metro line, I will definitely come back again. Congratulations!”

“The place is amazing and the staff is very respectful and honest. The most respectful people are the lifeguard Abdulrahman Adil and the lifeguard Uncle Khaled. They are very kind and generous people and they keep an eye on the people and children all day long.”
