Cheap drink, friendly enough service but we were really surprised at the food. It’s basic pub grub but they have street food and Indian food on there too. I wouldn’t say it’s 5star but it’s quite nice. Cocktails served warm which is a shame but maybe it was just a busy day. We went twice and would return

It's all about the atmosphere at the Barking Dog. Before you even step in, you'll be met by Charlie. He comes with the pub. Charlie is usually blasting unusually good dnb and pop on his speaker, and may offer to suck you off for a fiver. He's truly the heart of this establishment. Now the best area is of course the beer garden. The security tried to kick some guy out because he was slicing salami on a chopping board, until he was offered a piece. The salami was so good that the salami man was pardoned, now that security guard is truly the digestive system of this establishment. The salami was so damn good that the guard proceeded to lift the pub anvil. You should go to the beer garden just to try to lift the anvil, it's a tradition.

Si estás en la zona de Barking es una buena opción para tomar pintas o comer. Esta situado junto a la estación de trenes, posee una gran terraza y tiene un buen ambiente. Debido a que el pub está dividido en dos, a veces los camareros al situarse al otro lado de la pared, no ven que hay clientes esperando, pero pese a ese pequeño defecto por lo demás es un buen sitio para beber.

I like the vibe in this pub and the staff are always very good. However the gentleman's toilets are disgusting and I never see any of the staff regularly cleaning or checking them. On Saturday the 5th of November a discarded nappy was in the men's toilet all night on the floor, plus no toilet paper. Absolutely vile. Went in there this evening 29/04/23 and I noticed the beers had gone up in price by quite a lot. My partner said they went up a couple of weeks ago. £10.60 is way too much for two pints of Kronenberg. Time to leave this nice place and wait for cheaper beers when the spoon opens. Also the toilets are still disgusting so have taken it down a star. Great while it lasted.

Love this place. It's not the nicest part of London and there are very few pubs dotted about but you don't need any others because this is one of the best about. Good staff, really cheap pints for London and sport shown on multiple screens. Unpretentious, lots of locals here, good entertainment rooms for events etc and they do decent pub nights too. Just outside the station. Whenever in the area I'll pop in for a pint or two.

I have used this pub over the years, albeit every now and then. This used to be a somewhat conservative establishment that was renowned for being on the expensive side, despite being virtually next door to a large Wetherspoons. However, it has been under new ownership for the past couple of years and has changed considerably. Prices have been reduced to a sensible level, food is more readily available and the staff seem pleasant, as does the clientele. I particularly like the ''Sea Fury'' real ale they serve and will continue to use this watering hole whenever I am in the Barking vicinity.

+ the price of beer, and a big choice of beer - we ordered a dish of a mix chicken wings etc. wich is listed as a portion for 2 person, its definitly not, it seemed as even less than a portion for one, and automatcly owerpayd for that. Rice is not included in the price of chicken tikka masala, and definitly does not justify the price for that quality of rice. In conclusion, i reccomend it for a drink, but for now, not for food...

Dreadful place. Wish I could give zero stars. Bad food, bad beer, worse service. Ordered two pints and two Southern fried chicken burgers. Was told to give numbers like a kebab shop rather than menu items. Both pints were poor tasting, on a beer I regularly drink. The burger was a plain chicken breast, chips were luke warm, and when I asked for sauce they did not return and had to ask again twice. Very disappointed

Good range of beers and lagers and a food menu with the usual suspects plus some Indian street food. We had fish & chips, scampi & chips and lamb samosas. Above average quality and nicely presented. Only surprise was the absence of a dessert menu which seemed strange. Would use again.

Turned up at 7.25 to be told that too many people had turned up and my table (which I had been shown earlier) had been taken. Was shown downstairs where a member of staff plonked a chair right in front of a large white pillar (no table) and told to sit there...."just the same as upstairs". Thanks a lot.

What to do on a hot afternoon in London? Take the air-conditioned district line to Barking, turn left on leaving the station, and you will see two pubs with dog-inspired names. Barking, right? The Spotted Dog is the smaller of the two, and the second one you will see. As you walk in to what appears to be a closed pub, you see to your amazement an interior barely altered by time. Amazing barrels behind the bar, signs tempting you to try the port and sherry "from the wood", and an old railway sign which must have been retrieved the last time the station was updated. A lovely touch is the Leyton Orient scarf displayed high up beneath the clock, just in case you were in any doubt which team the customers support. The ceilings are high, making this a cool place to linger when the heat is on. Or you could sit at a table outside if you prefer. The landlord has a friendly smile, the customers chat, the music is not too loud ("Nothing Breaks Like a Heart") but in the Ladies one door does not close because it is too large.

Support black business, they always say. But our black business owners don’t give you reasons for you to support their businesses. It doesn’t take a lot to be nice to your customers, it feels nice to be nice especially when someone pay you to your establishment. Even though we over charge for something, the service doesn’t match the price. Y’all need to do better.
