Goldengrove in Newham

Usual Spoons fayre, quick service, good beer and decent grub. What's not to like?

“The perfect spot for sports enthusiasts! Great atmosphere with plenty of screen showing football. friendly staff and a solid menu of bar classics. The wings and draft beer are a must-try. Whether you’re with friends or just catching the game solo, this place has everything you need for a great time.”

Food is okay. Affordable!very busy on weekends and takes time to get served. Overall its a cool spot to hangout!

Such a happy atmosphere! Even the bouncers are smiling and having fun! That's a good sign. Such good beers on tap when I was there. Large place but fills up fast when it gets busy. Lots of tills but there's one near the TV that only accepts cards but is usually much shorter. Food looks good even though I haven't tried it. Staff works hard and kind through the busyness 🫶🏼 There's usually plenty of seating outside in the back patio. Unlimited coffee and tea from their self serve machine, great deal for those looking for a morning place to start the day slowly, especially because there's not many here in the mornings.

Love it here, absolutely wild, great atmosphere but never any trouble, pretty cheap as far as wetherspoons in London goes. Toilets are disgusting though.

Terrible experience, and with you can't complain about the service. Because there was none at all. Very Terrible, Terrible, Terrible experience

A bit too noisy during peak times but great service and great place to have a relaxing time with your friends.

Happy customer . Another level Beton

I liked the food and the atmosphere.

It is what it is. Cheap beer, but the staff appear untrained in serving it. There were 7 people behind the bar but it still took 8 minutes to be served - and it was not especially busy. The real ale was served with a head of about 4 inches which took an age to settle - and when it did, it was a short measure. Another pint was cloudy and had a tang of the vinegar about it. When taken back, the young bar member looked at it and said "What's wrong with it?"! It was changed when he referred to his manager. But, beer at £1.99 a pint and the free entertainment (two policemen and several late-arriving security staff cuffing and removing a man in the beer garden) made the visit interesting and bearable.

Breakfast is good here but not main meals. The fish and chips were dripping in cooking oil and anything that looked passable, when I took a bite, I could taste the oil. Chips hardly cooked and soggy. Didn’t eat my meal and left feeling disappointed, as this is the second time this has happened, thinking the first time was a one off. I’m now feeling rather unwell after the meal.

A friendly local with good food, a wide selection of beers and decent prices. Well worth a visit.

One of the better Wetherspoons in East London. Its always busy for a reason.

Cold apple crumble. Piece of plastic in my food!! I told someone and they just shrugged it off!

Food and the service was amazing but the people around.... One of them put their hands on me and put their hand on my food I complained but there was no security around to deal with

Shocking service staff more interested in having a chat then helping customers and if you try to raise an issue they make sure to tell you that you’re in the wrong, never again worst weathspoons experience

Quick, polite service. Had the vegetarian breakfast with endless coffee and it was lovely, good quality and well cooked, I cleaned my plate.

Popped in for a quick pint, after a show on evening.. We were back in the next morning for a full English breakfast.. Polite and friendly service.. Food was fantastic.. Well presented. Couldn't ask for me. Lady that brought our food out was very nice and friendly. Thank you 😊 👍🏼

Good quality-price ratio. It was a little dirty because there were a lot of people, the food was good.

We went for a family Christmas breakfast and had to wait near on an hour to get out food, it took for us to have to chase the order to be told it's not done. We then requested a half refund which they were happy to give us and the food came out in 5 mins the waiter even asked the cook to redo our porridge as she was not happy with how it looks. But unfortunately it is now a week and 2 days and we are still waiting for our refund.

It's a good place for cheap food and drink. For breakfast is perfect!

Popped in with friends on a Thursday evening. Ordered the BBQ Burger at 8.00pm. By 8.45pm it still hadn’t arrived. I enquired at the bar. Apparently the kitchen staff had left it in the kitchen, and decided not to bring it out to our table. So after suggesting they bring it out to me - they brought it out to me! It was stone cold. I took it back and they microwaved it. They brought it out again. This time lukewarm/tepid perhaps. No cutlery. Went back to the bar again to ask for cutlery. Food quality was poor; like chomping into flavoured cardboard. Popped to the bar again to try and order another drink. Totally ignored by staff, one of whom was eating her dinner whilst standing up at the bar. So I gave up. They just do not care. I guess you get what you pay for.

Our server Nimisha was very professional and she gave amazing hospitality. Food we tried chicken wings was amazing. We will visit again.

Worst customer service ever !!!

If Tim Martin can do it why can't everyone else. Great value.

Decent enough, although on West Ham game days, will be busy. Not enough staff. Security not dealing with loud customers.

A fab large and busy spoons, friendly staff and crowd.

Location: High Street in a busy area Parking: There are various options in the vecinity Staff: Polite, helpful Services: Tables were not the cleanest Amenities: There's a back terrace Feeling: Publike, great to come over with friends and family Food: Considering the prices, you get what you pay for. Cheap and filling. Prices: a lot cheaper than anything you'd get in other pubs. Beers 3-5£ on average. Food 7-12£ Toilet: Could use a bit more attention. Conclusion family / friends / business: Great place to have a good beer with friends and have some pub food. It's an average place with great prices and that makes the difference.

Decent beef lasagne at a sensible price very nice staff

Delicious wings, fresh beer and a full bar. Prices folk...

Food not very well cooked and in small quantities. The service is fast. The beer is the best for the quality/price ratio, that's why the 3

Great pub, but it was cold. Not the staffs fault customers left doors open..... and there are a lot of doors.

Top place family-friendly cheap food and drinks

Visited a pub on Sunday evening 03/11/23. We were asked to move from beer garden inside as staff wanted to close that area. I must admit that staff outside was nice and polite. We moved inside with all food and drinks but 2 min after member of staff asked as ( 4 adults 60 years ald) to move from this area to another . She explained that it's because she wants to close this area too. It was 10pm. The table she offered was next to big company and people was pestering us with their conversation. I mentioned it to the members of staff and explained to her that we would like to be left along. Someone who refused uidentifiy himself told us to finish drinks and live "his pub" . I pointed that is not his pub but the company. Anyway we left about 0.5 hour later . But the area where staff moved us out was full af customers and they even was sarved food. Management of this pub made me feel like I'm worse then others. I believe that this customer service is unacceptable for the well known company especially from managemen. Very upsetting.

Today I was a group at this bar, where I ordered and it didn't come according to what I wanted. I approached the bar and asked for it to be corrected according to what was paid for, the worker started to confirm that I did not place the order in that order and showed what I paid for and to check the rooms. Anyway, the lady worker kept her position and started shouting for her to turn around and left. I asked for the complaint book, to which the lady worker said that she does not give anything and she is not interested in anything.

Great Pub for Great Value. One of the least expensive Wetherspoons in London. Large interior and large exterior. Ideal for popping into Morrisons too. Not far from Stratford Station.

My spoons in Wanstead has closed. This is a great alternative! We want pubs which are alive anytime of day or night!

Good evening, everyone. I have been watching this problem for a long time until it rocked me. One of the doors in this institution does not work on closing for more than a month!!!! And when I closed it I was reprimanded by the staff for this, on my excuse that this door does not work on closing for more than a month, they said that this is not my problem..... I ask the management to pay attention to the comfort of customers in your establishment and repair the necessary for this nodes!!!!

Been to many spoons but this place and experience was horrible. Very rude staff

First time in England, first English breakfast, I really liked it! Thank you for accepting our arrival 5 minutes before the end for breakfast, it was a real treat! The jacket potato with cheese extra beans is a gem!

Good food at very reasonable prices; friendly staff; good selection of drinks; Stowford cider at £1.99 - can't argue with that!

Typical spoons, cheap and cheerful

Staff was good, food was delicious, and prices were affordable.

8 people behind the bar and you have to wait 15 minutes to be served! I see this job is given to people who are friends but don't know this job... worst Wetherspoon's service in London!

Was very disappointed, in the food , service here today. Not my normal Wetherspoons,Waltham cross , Baxter’s court. Which is by far much cleaner, service much better, and food served in eatable conditions. Will not be returning here .

Very pleasant when it's not busy

Really clean and tidy especially for a Weatherspoons, service was quick and the staff were really polite and helpful, had some food and a beer, would use again when in Stratford

I Just ate the worst plate of nachos ever,the pub is filthy and disgusting, service doesn't exist at all,but the beer is absolutely cheap!

Delicious food, enthusiastic staff, beautiful decoration and great karaoke system.

Cheap pints for days love the prices

I recently visited Wetherspoon in Stratford and was disappointed by my experience. While I appreciate the casual atmosphere, the staff, particularly a server named SUNNY (to be clear a guy who flip bottle of beer when asked and pour half of the beer on ground), were extremely rude. His dismissive attitude made me feel unwelcome, which overshadowed the dining experience. I've seen numerous reviews highlighting the rudeness of the staff, yet it seems nothing has changed. This raises the question: does management ignore customer feedback? The place feels cheap, which is expected, but the lack of basic courtesy is unacceptable. I hope management addresses these ongoing issues, as no one should have to endure rudeness while dining out.

Super meal. Looking for somewhere quieter after a show in Central London. Pub busy but still plenty of space. Value for money for food & drink the best.

Devansh Singla was an amazing server!

The usual messed chaotic Waterspoon

We've just left another pub in London not the most flattering review so in the interests of fairness we are giving praise where it is due. On our trip to London we ended up coming here for breakfast 3 days in a row. Simply because after our first visit we found the staff lovely and friendly and just as importantly the breakfasts were really quite good, especially when you consider the price and free coffee refills. Really impressed all round. Well done the Golden Grove, keep it up!

Team leader Gabi is a star 🌟! Very attentive and nothing was too much. Thanks for remembering my ice. Thank you so much ☺️ Paige x

Just about what you can expect from a Wetherspoons. Slower service than usual at the bar, but sometimes it can't be helped. Visited after running some errands. I would say the atmosphere was good, but it was pretty quiet, and another customer ended up making me feel uncomfortable, and it was never addressed upon by the staff. However, food was good. A pretty decent meal and drinks are what you'd expect. Overall, I can't complain much. However, staff (bar staff particularly) being more vigilant and having a better degree of awareness would benefit the place more.

I had the bangers and mash with a craft beer for under a tenner. Service was really slow at the bar, so I found a table and ordered off the app. Very nice beer, but the meal was below average. I've had bangers and mash before at a spoons, but this one was too dry spoiling the mash. Good atmosphere in the garden and inside, though.

Had a nice breakfast here very reasonably priced and choice of coffees too.

The worst service ever. In no busy day we were waiting for beer 20 minutes, when we kindly asked “where our beer?” waitress told that we are rude and stopped serve us. It was not first time in this pub. So rude communication with customers.

Devansh was amazing, fantastic customer experience, went above and beyond what I was expecting 10/10

No loud music. A couple of tvs on silent staff very efficient plenty of seating plus a nice atmosphere. Definitely visit again.

It's a Weather Spoon's, not much more to say. The portion here was a little smaller than normal.

Da evitare a tutti i costi. Mal frequentato (su ogni tavolo c'è persino una scritta che invita gli avventori a fare attenzione ai borseggiatori !!!), sporco, sevizio lento. Simbolo del decadimento totale di Wetherspoon.

Badly frequented: there is even a warning to customers on each table to beware of pickpockets. Dirty, slow service, poor food, loud Eastern European drunks. Symbol of Wetherspoon's total decline. Stay away!

Busy pub with lots of outdoor seating. Service was slow but the food was good. Our meals took about 25 minutes to arrive. Plates were hot & we enjoyed our food. Pub is a 15 minute walk from the shopping mall & international train station. Had problems ordering our drinks again on the Spoons app. Been happening a lot lately. Prices were good considering the location. Not one I would rush back to though.

Friendly staff and good service

This is a very popular pub for West Ham United fans for a pre match drink. Unfortunately, the management seemed to be unaware of the usual high demand and thought it was perfectly alright to have 4 long and large queues of customers waiting at least 15 minutes to be served. We, like many others, gave up after one round and went to a nearby rival pub, where it was busy but you could still get a pint within a couple of minutes.

Chicken curry was not bad. Horrible atmosphere. Staffs were arguing. Empty tables left dirty for really long time.

Great local with a lot of choice in English beers and great food at reasonable prices.

Food came quickly but the drinks were very slow...

Your typical Witherspoon pub, good atmosphere, helpful staff, nice food. Can get very busy in the evenings and slow to get served when busy. There's a large pleasent beer garden.

The service here was exceptional, polite, speedy and very friendly and helpful.

Very relaxed pub with very helpful and friendly staff, especially Sunny who kept checking in on us making sure we were OK and had everything we needed. Would definitely recommend.

No music , late service have to wait for 30 min just for my drinks.

Great example of a Wetherspoon. Fantastic food for the prices, and they had suitable shade for the very intense sun of the day.

Sunny who works in Stratford Weatherspoon is an amazing guy.The owners of Weatherproof must really consider this guys future in the industry and help him.He has global/international potential .You lose him and you regret coz he will be global

I’ve put a review a few weeks ago on an assault of the black manager to one of my friends and I can see it has been taken down and nothing has been done about it. Clearly your workplace is for people who verbally and physically abuse people. Your reviews clearly are the same two managers being the white lady and the black man and nothing is being done. I would advise people to take these reviews seriously as you could be hurt in this establishment with nothing done about it! It’s disgusting.

terrible service, poor communication with customers

1 of the staff i think his name was amass he took ages to make my drink and he had a stinky attitude and insulted me!!!11!1! am traumatised

Can't order via the app, takes long to be served at the bar.

Garden is nice and cool and quick service if you using the app.

We found senior staff very lacking. However RiRi the young person who eventually served us made up for the rude behaviour. RiRi manor should be rewarded.

Food comes out faster than you can imagine! Always up to standards with nice staff.

All fine, slight mix up with food order but dealt with friendly and quickly, not been here for 10 years prior but def had improved since those days.

It was my anniversary and yes lovely atmosphere and big thanks to Taz and sunny . Thank you so much guys :) will visit again…

Overall the place is lovely but the service from the manager is absolutely disgusting and she has a severe attitude shouting at me over the bar while the pub is not busy telling me to go out the front when she should could have came over and said sorry the garden is close can you go out the front…that would have been fine but the attitude i was given was absolutely not professional at all especially from a manager - Her name was Becky , you should never make your customers feel uncomfortable and embarrassed like that! When confronted she sarcastically said sorry… Completely ruined my night!

Great birthday celebration location.

The worst food ever! The steak is over cook! The potato mash chips and chicken wing's is cold , papercorn sauce is cold ! Most of the table has no waitress to cleaning ! I have been many weatherspoon restaurant before,and all was so well food is good service was great but this time in Stratford weather spoon restaurant is the worst and ever! Staff and chef need to be training again!

Had a breakfast today in Wetherspoons Golden Grove the young girl that served me had a proper attitude. Try to overcharge me got that corrected and an attitude went from bad to even worse.

Very unprofessional staff, rude too. Table orders takes a lot of time.

I ordered my food on table then i moved to next table and i was waiting my order to be delivered from next table.. 2 guys sit on table then my food delivered and the guy suddenly started to eat my food in a second, i warned him and he said he order from bar blah blah he was lying and they ate my food in a couple minutes .. i let the waiters and manager they really helped and brought my food after an half hour but these 2 guys were still there and they laughed at me when i received my food, and i waited the security should kick them out of the pub because they stole my food and they behaved like nothing happened and they laughed at me.. i am coming this pub all the time even with my colleagues from company but from now one i will never ever come and eat anything at this pub! My order ID 9295 , 19.07.2024

Myself and another arrived at 14:15, we had a bike with us that we brought inside and placed it behind our table out of the way and not blocking anything. My friend went to the bar to order drinks, and I ordered food and drink on the app at 14:19. Our food arrived about 10 minutes later, All was fine until now. About 10 minutes later as we are half way though eating our food a female manager walks over and demands very rudely to take the bike outside, we ask if we can finish the food and we then leave, she doesn’t answer and just repeats “take the bike outside” we ask why and she says “healthy and safety”. We ask what is the health and safety aspect of a bike out of the way resting behind our seats. She just repeats health and safety over and over. We explain we don’t have a bike lock, she says that’s not her problem and it’s our responsibility. There was no signage not allowing bikes, and nothing is mentioned on the website. At this point we leave, food and drinks still on the table. Completely unacceptable, unbelievably rude and unprofessional.

For me it's a must everytime I go to London. Beautiful British atmosphere, excellent staff, delicious food and very cheap. I always come here with my kids (and we need to leave by 9pm) and always invite here any visitor I may have, it's a guarantee!!

Does what it says on the tin, everything you'd expect, quite a nice vibe, bar waiting times long for a Spoons, if you can't see bar staff use the app.

Good location, excellent beer garden. Reasonable value, service as many have pointed out is variable.

Lovely staff and fantastic breakfasts. Real value for money. Went here each day of our 4 days around London

Went for breakfast. Food was ok except waited ages for black pudding to arrive and then it was over cooked! Very cheap I guess you get what you pay for. Staff very friendly.

Ideal for a cheap and cheerful breakfast before a day of shopping in Stratford

Our food arrived before our drinks despite ordering them at the same time. We had to go and find our own drinks at the bar, as the ‘waitress’ said she was solely on food duty. Even when we went to the bar to order more drinks, the service was slow and poor. People who had been waiting for a while were ignored in favour of others who had been waiting a shorter amount of time. The food was lukewarm and the nachos looked like they’d been sat on the side for too long. By far the worst Wetherspoons I’ve ever been to.
