The Ardleigh in Havering

Fabulous rib of beef for Sunday lunch . Cooked beautifully, tasted great with a lovely selection of vegetables and of course - roast potatoes and Yorkshire pudding. Will definitely be back - thank you .

Food took about an hour to arrive and tasted average - my sausages were burnt. No one came over to check if we needed anything. Some of our drinks were forgotten about and had to be chased.

The pub looks amazing , atmosphere was great food was lovely Staff was helpful and welcoming I would like to say thank Billy for checking on our table. Will be going back

The Brand new make over looks amazing, there is a warm cozy feel, so inviting!! Lisa the owner is friendly and welcoming and checked if everything was ok and we were enjoying ourselves! The bar staff are all so friendly and full of smiles!! They Can’t do enough to help you!! Food was amazing so tasty the chefs are great!! Lovely vibe All round great experience 10/10!!

Excellent service , staff pleasant and always come round to see if everything was ok, Food was served lovely , hot and plenty of it. It was nice and clean inside the ardliegh Will be back again Thank you

Came here for lunch with work colleagues and food was really quite nice. The chicken fillet burger is a bit dry, but with a bit of sauce on it, it was perfect. Service was good, staff were very friendly, but watch out for the car park. Although there are notices about parking, the writing is very small, so I was unaware that I had to enter my car reg at the bar, there were no further signs inside the pub, so received a penalty charge. I ordered via the app (which is super helpful and easy) but because of this, I missed the screen to enter my reg. I feel there should be clearer signs inside the pub at each door, and maybe even a place within the app reminding customers about the parking requirements. Besides the above, I would still recommend this pub

Had a lovely Sunday lunch, great chef. And lovely staff very enjoyable made us fill welcome. Asked by members of staff if all was ok will be going back soon

Lovely Wednesday afternoon at the Ardleigh lunch with my other half… nice service from Kellie… really enjoyed my crispy chicken sandwich spot on

The food was impeccable thanks to the amazing chefs in the kitchen cooking our lovely meals. I’ve asked the bar staff what the names of the chefs was who made my families meals. There names was Kye and Charlotte and our food was incredible.

went to the Ardleigh with my partner and the service was outstanding so friendly and welcoming. the lady behind the bar Abbie was so friendly and even recommend us the beef rib it was outstanding. will be 100% be returning

Came for a festive meal with my partner. The food was amazing! And sitting by the fire added to the festive feel. The portion sizes were great on the turkey dinner and it tasted delicious as well. The staff were very welcoming and attentive, especially Jacob. He made sure we were happy with everything and nothing we asked for was to much trouble for him. Overall the staff and the food were great and we will be coming back.

Went to the Ardleigh pub this evening for a catch up with friends. Really lovely. Dinner was delicious , loads of choices available and the service impeccable. Warm.and friendly staff .

Amazing atmosphere and amazing staff will definitely be coming back and bring family and friends with me , Abbie was so welcoming and was so helpful with anything we needed

The food was great,staff was caring And manager Lisa was very helpful as it was so good we book for a festival on 24 November

The food was amazing and well worth the vist. The team there was very welcoming and even helped us with menu choice as it was our first time. Would definitely recommend going to the Ardleigh

My partner& I had a lovely Sunday dinner here, the staff & the atmosphere was so nice we will definitely be coming back. 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ for food & staff

Do not visit this pub if you intend to park. Whilst I had a lovely meal for a reasonable price, I was given a £60 fine after only staying for 1 hour 15 mins. I ordered and paid at the table and at no point did any of the servers mention that I should give my number plate due to parking charges. I saw no signage either outside or within the pub. I am very upset about this as I feel you should let people know - I won’t be eating here again

Went for a family meal and it was fantastic. Brilliant size portions, great price and wonderful atmosphere! Will be coming again

Brilliant staff/ food and atmosphere. Plenty of choice of food and drink at a great value to match.

They like to mess people about with their parking fees. If you don't go to the bar and you get drinks brought for you and don't come to this pub like ever, you wouldn't realise there are parking charges. All they have is some sign on the bar and my partner got charged £60 because he didn't realise there were charges. Ridiculous if you are a customer.

We went to the Ardleigh for lunch last weekend had a lovely afternoon food was great atmosphere was nice all in all excellent visit

The music is really good and the staff is even better as they all gave me and my family such a warm welcome and was all very friendly. The customer service was brilliant and is such a lovely pub to go to.

Loved curry night, staff friendly. Defo worth a revisit. Food came at a timely manner. Lovely soft music in the background

We arrived on Wednesday. Cosy friendly to look at. Pub was smelling of beautiful curries. Drinks was nice. So was desert

The staff were very friendly and attentive, our food arrived in good time and was delicious and hot. Overall a lovely pub with a great atmosphere.

I came with my friends and was assigned to a table bigger enough for us and a great time with some very nice alcoholic beverages. The staff was very kind and helpful making me feel comfortable and happy with the environment I was in

Fantastic night at the Ardleigh. Thank you to Lisa and the team for being so accommodating. The staff are always so friendly and welcoming.

Went the this pub with a group of friends and it was outstanding. The owner is so welcoming and friendly as well as her team. Will be back bring more of my friends

Visited the Ardleigh this afternoon and it was packed with people due to the school end of term. However Lisa and her staff were excellent as usual, served us promptly and ensured that our food was served within 15 minutes. All in all a good...

Nice greeting on arrival. Opened tab with card to order drinks and food. Nice selection of food. Starters really nice recommend mushrooms. Mains really nice and chose curry. Very nice and flavoursome.

Attended the Christmas quiz night with my family and had a great night. The host George was very good, professional and funny. Food was very nice and the service was spot on. Great pub, great atmosphere. Will definitely be back

We came here for Christmas lunch and had the best time. Lovely food, well presented, friendly staff. We will definitely be back. Thank you the ardleigh for a lovely time.

Absolutely disgusting behaviour from the landlady as per normal. For background, this pub has a terrible reputation with locals related to the landlady. She seems to hate any all male group and tonight two (only two!) of us had a quick beer after work as...

Great pub , lovely beers, friendly staff however I’ve just had a parking fine of £85 through the post! Saw a sign that said private parking , thought it was okay as I was attending the pub, clearly not , most expensive pint I’ve ever...

I came in the other week and had ordered food, even though there was a wait due to it being busy all the food came out together and was fantastic. We then went to order drinks and the staff are very kind. Overall the staff...

Went there on a Sunday ,decided against the Sunday dinner this time, as previously the portions of veg were very merger. So went for Rib-eye stake, unfortunately although it was only 1.30pm and the place was almost empty they had run out of rib-eye. So...

We went with a party of 8. The wifi is rubbish, only just able to use data for the amber app... which nearly managed to work, ordered and paid for drinks and meal okay, well what was actually available. Tried to order desserts and coffees...

Me and my family came here on Saturday night and had an amazing night. We all had food that came out hot, nice presentation and tasty. Staff was very polite and helpful. We will be back soon! Thank you.

The staff were great, super friendly and efficient. Drinks were great value, but food was a let down. My chicken wrap contained just 2 tiny pieces of chicken in the smallest wrap I have ever seen. Potatoes were a strange shade of brown and tasted...

Visited last night and we did the bottomless drinks meal package. Very good value 2 courses and flowing drinks for two hours. We never waited for a refill and staff kept us topped up 😊

The Ardleigh Pub has launched their new menu today for the summer. I had the pleasure of tasting some of the lovely dishes and all I can say is wow. Get yourself down there you won’t be disappointed 😍

Came for lunch with my mum and daughter. Amazing food, great friendly service. Would definitely recommend and we will be back. My daughter had the Hunters Chicken, which she absolutely loved

Had a lovely meal here the other day with my partner. She had the Posh fish and chips and I had the chicken katsu curry with poppadoms. Both were excellently made and tasted amazing. Service was also amazing, all the staff were very helpful and...

Made another visit to the Ardleigh with some friends on a Monday for the quiz. Not only did we get brilliant customer service and a warm welcome from staff, we also found out that they are doing takeaway from Uber Eats, Deliveroo and Just Eat....

Had a fab time, food was amazing as usual… and the great news is young Jacob behind the bar told me I can order from home this week… they’re going on just eat, Uber eats and deliveroo yay! Can’t wait for a home cooked Sunday...

We were so happy to see the return of Adam today when we went for sunday lunch he just really makes the place feel so relaxing and his service is exemplary!!!

We always come to the ardleigh! It’s always been our regular we love it! Thank you to Lisa and team always making us welcome!

If ur looking for a good afternoon/evening out with friends and family, give this place a visit. Hospitable staff with great manners that couldn’t do enough for you - all round warm and safe atmosphere. Would definitely be making our next appearance very soon!!

Lovely warm atmosphere, the staff as always kind and helpful and my fish and chips was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend the Ardleigh to my friends.

Looks nice from the outside but when inside the décor looks tired and in need of a refreshing paint job, all the chairs were a weird mish mash of styles and colours, nothing matched. The leather bench seat we sat on needed a good scrub....

Had meal here while visiting friends back in Hornchurch. My friend ordered gammon and I ordered fish and chips with bread & butter. Meal arrived, gammon too salty to eat, no one bothered to come and ask how our meal was. It wasn’t until we...

Had a lovely lunch today absolutely gorgeous. Staff nice and friendly. Great cocktails……….would definitely recommend

We came here on a Monday evening “quiz night” we ended up joining in & found it lots of fun & enjoyable. The staff were very welcoming & friendly & we will definitely be returning with friends & family.

Amazing to be back inside a pub eating a beautiful roast dinner! I fully recommend the beef for anyone looking for a fab new Sunday venue. Thank you Lisa & the team, your hospitality and service was above and beyond, special thank you to George...

Fantastic afternoon in the beer garden, the barman Adam went above and beyond to look after us and ember inns are lucky to have him!

Have visited twice since reopening from the latest lockdown , the staff are just brilliant, so helpful through restricted times, greeted at the front of the pub , they explain all the rules from track & trace to ordering through the app , the manager...

Visited The Ardleigh on Saturday with some mates, first meet up since coming out of lock down. Service was great from the moment we entered the establishment. Greeted at the door, advised on all of the rules of how to enter and leave the Pub asked to do the track and trace and shown to our table in their massive garden. Tables were spaced well apart. Shown how to use the app which was easy and efficient and the drinks were being bought to the table really quickly even though you could see the staff were rushed off their feet they still made time to have a quick chat. Hospitality was bang on. Me and the lads will definitely being frequenting this pub more often. Well done Ardleigh Staff!

Lovely staff friendly and helpful.... explained the covid restrictions well and explain the order via app great. Car park ✅ nice garden ✅ Will definitely recommend this venue not only for its good staff service but also tasty food and nice drinks selection... 2 for...

Visited pub for 1st time with 5 friends after latest lockdown. What a mistake ! Booked for the whole evening then told we only had table for 2 hours even though they weren't busy. Staff kept complaining to us that we were ordering too many drinks hence they kept having to walk to our table - if you don't like the hospitality job LEAVE. Perhaps they liked being on furlough too much. I was then told I had drunk too much (I was not drunk) whereby I swore under my breath and was then banned ! My friend was then banned 2 minutes later for discussing my predicament with the table next to ours - social distancing rules complied with. Terrible, terrible night out. Such a shame after lockdown. Ember Inns - sort your staff out because they are lazy and rude. Have now told everyone I no not to visit the Ardleigh Green as the service has dropped through the floor. Disgusting!!

Visited the ardleigh last week with my husband and with the current situation going on I can hand on heart say that the Ardleigh and it’s Team have excelled in every way possible to keep social distancing to a maximum. We was welcomed at the door and checked in and shown to our table. We ordered through their application and it was perfect. Drinks were served to our table within minutes and the food arrived and it was beautifully presented, fresh, hot and very tasty. I would like to thank the management and the staff for being so polite, friendly and professional in such worrying times. I will definitely be back soon.

I had a lovely experience here with the food as well as the staff. with the covid rules in place I felt very safe and comfortable and not bossed around or policed . If you are someone feels uneasy and uncomfortable about going out due to covid I can confidently recommend this establishment. The staff are extremely friendly and understanding. They have lots of options for vegans and vegetarians and the menu also has options for people with dietary needs.

The most important factor to consider when visiting any hospitality premises must be that it is. covid secure and all is done to prevent infection between customers and staff spreading outside of the premises.Be assured that this place is as safe as it can be.Mike the young man who served us advised us professionally and politely that a mask must be worn whenever we leave the table.His manner throughout was helpful, friendly, and always polite.No hanging around waiting to be served and genuinely concerned if our food was ok up to our expectations.Very efficient and should be considered as a candidate for managementFood was exceptional and served hot

Amazing food and great staff, really friendly and welcoming. A fab atmosphere. Well organised around the covid guidelines. I would give more stars if I could!!!

A good choice on the menu and all the staff a very polite. Food was good value. i will return to this pub again soon

May partner and I live just outside Ipswich and we visit Hornchurch occasionally which we did yesterday to meet up with some friends for the first time since lockdown. We booked a table for a late lunch but the food was far below the standard we had experienced there previously. We had 2 fish and chip meals which were not properly cooked and quite tasteless and my own meal (Chargrilled chicked) was only what I would describe as adequate. My friends wife had Pasta which was very nice and I wish I had chosen that meal myself. For dessert my partner had treacle sponge which was very gooey and not very hot. We enjoyed the afternoon due to the company but the meal was extremely disappointing and I am not sure I would go there again.

Staff were very welcoming, friendly and attentive. They are doing well following Covid restrictions 👍

All social distancing rules adhered to by the Friendly staff. Great service and delicious food. Safe and clean environment We will be back

Forgot to write a review when I ate here and then I drove past this pub the other day and it reminded me, hopefully this place stays shut, food was awful, drinks are too expensive and got a fine for parking in the car park, go to mcdonalds down the road instead!

An evening in the Ardleigh was the pits, warm wine, no food, unfriendly staff and management, calling time 25 minutes early and telling us we have to go because they have been there all day. They do not want customers or to run a business, awful experience.

I visited the Ardleigh with friends at 11.32pm & had a few drinks ( non alcohol) I was not told about paying for car park or see any signs about paying. I've never gone to a pub & had to pay for parking before!

Buffet was good.The singer Jo Nyland was very good she keep a happy party atmosphere going through the evening. We were a party of nine and none of us had been there before, but all said we would think about going there in the future. I saw out the back window they have a beer garden, which will be nice when the weather warms up a bit.

Twelve of us, six adults and six young children, went here for a Christmas lunch. We gave out menu choices in advance and paid a £50 deposit. The table was nicely laid out when we arrived, with crackers and decorations. The food arrived quickly - the children served first - and it was quite nice. The Christmas dinner looked plentiful. I had the turkey pie which was tasty. My prawn cocktail starter could have been bigger, but never mind. The staff were friendly and efficient.Our problem came, and this is why I have given a three star rather than a four star rating, when my wife came to pay the bill. We were assured that the deposit had been deducted from the bill, but when we got home we saw that it had not. We rang the pub, who told us that the record of our deposit payment had disappeared from 'the system'. We drove back to the pub, by which time they had found a record of our deposit, so they refunded the overpayment and were very apologetic. Mistakes do happen but this did cause us some inconvenience. Would I rush back here? Probably not.

Very nice and friendly pub ,clean , food and service was very nice and price was reasonable ample parking where you put your reg in at the bar to prevent a parking fine, well recommended.

Had a late lunch at The Ardleigh on 28th September. Both myself and my daughter are vegetarian and assumed that there would be a very limited veggie menu. How wrong we were! There is a dedicated vegetarian/vegan menu which we ordered from and the food was absolutely delicious. We were so impressed with the food and the friendly, helpful staff. Will definitely go back again.

I arrived at 8:30 on a Sunday night to collect a friend. I sat outside and had a drink and left at 9:30. Thought no more of it until I came back from holiday to find I had a parking fine. What a scam.My favour for a friend has cost me £85.00

We have been going to pub quiz night for several years won a few times our team name is pointless which was supposed to be ironic think its time for us to try pastures new sons and daughter's of egg heads win most weeks and does seem pointless going sour grapes i know but thats how we feel great pub and we do have a laugh would recommend pub very good ambience

First visit yesterday, They were very accomadating, very helpful and so polite, good job they know what they were talking about.Highly recommend the food best cabonara I have had for a long time and people were great Thanksfor everything.Hopefully be back sson.Vi

What a great pub this is. Staff were really lovely, knowledgeable and very professional. Had a great meal with 6 friends and stayed on for more drinks afterwards. Food was really nice and I didn’t realise how big of a Beer Garden they had either which was a brilliant surprise. Can’t wait to return and soak up the summers days with a nice cold one and friends. Highly recommend The Ardleigh!

Excellent food and bar service with a smile. The garden is kept nice and tidy. There is a wide choice of wines and I would definitely recommend and return

Something similar happened to us.

I came to the Ardleigh with my dad for a Sunday roast. Both had their signature pork belly and it was amazing; best food I’ve had there. Service was great, welcoming and happy staff and overall an enjoyable experience as always

Came down with my son for fathers day. Got to say it was great food and very happy staff. Will come again

Went to the Ardleigh on the 8/6/19 for an evening meal , absolutely brilliant meal , hats off to the chef , warm and friendly staff , a very enjoyable evening , can’t wait to go back , see you soon

Second visit in two weeks and again they are not serving food. The ember inn website says breakfast, lunch and dinner served. Oh no it isn’t, if they have a function no one else can get food it’s a joke. This was my local not any more very badly run pub avoid
