The food is delicious, with a great variety of grilled meats, fresh meze, and flavorful dishes that taste as good as they look.

“Great pub with good atmosphere and great friendly staff”

“We had my sons 18th party here, have to say was the best night, couldn't fault the staff, customer service was 100% and the management staff, Saiorse and Tracy went above and beyond to make sure everything went well, notting was to much trouble and I can't thank them enough for making it a special time for my son. Would 100% recommend this place for events. The staff and management are amazing. Thank you so much guys. Looking forward to going again.”

“The best grill food ever in Redbridge! I get food from here every week, even though there are loads of other places in Gants Hill. All the brothers who work there are amazing – well-behaved, hardworking, and always smiling. The food is top quality, and the service makes the experience even better. Highly recommended!”

“A place I will never stopped getting tired of ordering takeouts in most weekends for many, many years. What great about this place is most of their foods are made fresh and not store brought. Their wings are succulent when straight out of the fryer.”

“Loaded fries are the ultimate indulgence, with crispy fries topped with melted cheese, fresh jalapeños, and a drizzle of creamy sauce. The balance of textures – crunchy, creamy, and savory – makes every bite irresistible. Perfect for sharing or as a satisfying solo snack, these fries are customizable with endless toppings. The only downside is how quickly they disappear! A must-try for anyone craving a hearty, flavorful treat. Highly recommended for a game day snack, movie night, or any time you’re looking for a satisfying comfort food fix!”

“Food was excellent and service was great too. The pancakes were so good!! And the savoury options are excellent. We popped in for a coffee and stayed for brunch. It’s a great option in a very busy area with great interior.”

“Wonderful place to chill around with friends.”

“Came here for drinks with family and friends later jist before christmas- great drinks and atmosphere, food looked delicious but I never ate anything but my cousin said it was very good pub food. Second time around coming here, will definitely come back when back in town again! Great local spot!”

“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!”

“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!”

“Love there battered sausage and chips. Really can't stay away from this fish shop for to long. I really enjoy battered sausage and chips and I will next time try something new it wouldn't shock me if the fish and chicken and pie are just as beautiful. The staff are quick at dealing with orders and always friendly got great communication skills the chef is blatantly working hard cooking up peoples orders it's in a great location as well.”

“Absolutely top customer service provided by “Elena” she was very professional, friendly and extremely welcoming. I recieved my cheese and tomato toastie, which was cooked to perfection and Vanilla Latte extra was on point too. Highly recommended”

“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”

“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”

“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.”

“Visited recently. Cafe decor is a bit too dark for my liking but nevertheless great atmosphere, menu and staff. My only other criticism is that there was a small piece of egg shell in my scrambled eggs. The cafe is under new management. I will certainly visit again.”

“This employee is being so helpful with my coffee choices! I come to London with love I find familia love with this location and an Omlette!”

“Great English breakfast , reasonably priced , very friendly, good service. Owners charming”

“As soon as I entered with my wife and kids, we were warmly welcomed by the girl at the counter and the guy near the coffee area. My mocha tasted amazing, and my kids really enjoyed their berry slush. Thank you, Rakhshan! The place was clean, and the aroma of fresh coffee was just incredible. Visited on Sunday, 1st June 2025 at 5:30 PM. I even bought some chocolate as a small gesture to appreciate the excellent service.”

“The food was impeccable, the chicken and beef burgers were the best i've ever had! Service was amazing and made on time with no delay. Lovely dinning area. Will definetely be visiting again!”

“Very old school sort of boozer but always made to feel welcome and enjoy a drink here.”
