The Griffin in Newham

The Griffin was my favorite place during the 3 years I lived in London, I really miss it. A traditional pub with excellent food and friendly staff. Just bear in mind that on match days, the place might be a bit crowded and the kitchen can close early, so check with the restaurant before hand.

Lovely pub, incredible Christmas Dinner!

One of Brentford’s best Pubs! Excellent food, beer and great atmosphere, sports on too but never overwhelming.

Nice atmosphere, roast was too salty

Absolutely adore this boozer, great food, good beers, exceptional atmosphere, attentive welcoming staff. I always pop in here when i`m in Brentford, the London Pride is exceptional. A must visit if in the area.

Great local pub. Went there while visiting Kew gardens to eat and watch some football. Fantastic Sunday lunch. Nice vibe, very friendly staff

We didn't have a hundred because it was late, but a welcoming environment and pleasant company

Excellent quality beer and a beautifully presented pub

Wasn't expecting much from this small pub down a quiet residential street but it really surprised me. Lovely staff, great beer, great food, great atmosphere. Loved it.

The best pub in all of London!!

Always a really welcoming atmosphere and staff and food spot on!

Extremely friendly staff, and a genuinely gorgeous Sunday roast, all in a lovely traditional London pub. They even gave us a nice little box of chocolates for Fathers Day. We don’t live in London, but we’ll definitely try to get back to the Griffin next time we’re nearby.

Really friendly pub. Super lovely service, reasonable prices and great food. Would be regulars if we lived nearby. Thank you!

A proper local pub atmosphere, great service and delicious food (chicken roast, pork roast, bangers and mash and a burger)

Great pub. Great atmosphere and staff.

Perfect Pub experience in London. Lots of Lager beers and beers takeaways

Very good place! Amazing people!

Another fantastic away day visit to The Griffin! Such a warm welcome from staff, fast service, sport on the tv & the awesome food out back. Look forward to seeing you all again next season & good luck 🙌

A very friendly welcome at this traditional pub. We enjoyed the drink and food and the prices were decent for 'down south'. I'd recommend the Thai curry and my husband really enjoyed the Chicken Kiev.

Fantastic pub . We’ve had a private function there today . Amazing hot/ cold buffet . Nothing was too much trouble .

We booked the griffin pud to hold a baby shower , they have a lovely private space . They provided an amazing hot and cold buffet at a very reasonable price . The staff were fabulous and went above and beyond for us . We couldn’t be happier . We’ve had a truly amazing day . Thank you Griffin pub xx

The restaurant was full. We were found a table and then seated afterwards. We felt welcomed straight away. We ate a beef stew with homemade spazels, fish and chips and a children's menu burger. We had a blast. And for dessert, I asked for a portion of pudding for 2, I had the very pleasant surprise that it was served on 2 plates. I found this generous and thoughtful. The desserts are definitely worth the detour, well done to the cooks! We greatly enjoyed our shared moment. Thank you very much.

Very nice friendly bar staff and people 👍

Very nice traditional English pub with good staff and good food.

I ordered the ribs and they fell off the bone, coats £17 tho. And the Guinness was alright, very good pub

Very friendly pub with nice pint. Food was not as great as raved about in some reviews but was OK and did have genuine home made chips. Shame served on freezing cold plates.

Great pub dinner. Everything fresh and beautifully prepared. Fabulous friendly service and more than reasonably priced. Great value for money. Will go back.

Great atmosphere. Euwan is a legend

OMG. Having been to many places for the perfect burger we've finally found it. We regularly go to The Griffin for Sunday lunch - and garlic prawns for mid-week lunches - but I had never had a burger. Not only was this one perfectly cooked, in a great bun, but there were loads of possible extras - at no extra cost!

First time visiting for us very very impressed we had roast dinner which was amazing . The roast potatoes were as good as I cook at home . Really impressed we will definitely be back ,

Went for a wake. Great atmosphere great service.

The perfect place for a pre-match pint, even with the club moving away from Griffin Park. Gary cooks a great sausage and chili in the beer garden. The pub oozes with character and history. A highlight of my trip over from the States. Eager to return one day.

What a lovely little gem in Brentford, visiting for football and didn't know what to expect popping into a "local". Very welcoming atmosphere

The Griffin in Brentford offers a cosy atmosphere that's perfect for a relaxed meal. The food portions are generous, and the prices are reasonable, which is a plus. However, while the ambiance and affordability are commendable, the overall experience could be improved with more diverse menu options or elevated culinary offerings. They also have some Boardgames and you can watch football.

Nice little boozer on the pricey side but that’s London

Amazing atmosphere! It has great food and very friendly staff. I have been coming for years and highly recommend. 10/10

cosy pub serving great food...even has it's own cat

It’s a lovely place in Brentford. We went there for Sunday roast and it didn’t disappoint. Being a vegetarian I had their Nut roast which was really good. Loved the gravy it was yummm could have had it as a soup hehe. Other half had beef roast and he loved it too. Food, service, ambiance, vibe was all superb. Defo recommend. And would visit again.

Great pub, I had an amazing night with Grindah, Darren and the Albino Seal, proper jokes.

First visit, Great food and choice of beer, Pub cats as well! Proper local pub with a warm welcome and good table service. Had a great night making new friends from Liverpool and Italy! Would like to think we will be back

Once again top marks for the quality of the entire meal. Our group enjoyed the Christmas menu and drinks.

This is a long time coming, I've been meaning to write a review for some time now. We walked over to The Griffen from Kew Gardens. This totally felt like the home, local, and go-to spot. They had multiple "football" games on display (sorry, I am from America). We sat down and placed our orders. Now I will say the fish and chips at the Griffin were my absolute favorite in England. I totally recommend the veggies as well, I literally asked our hostess to let me complement the chef. Everything was so tasteful, fresh and reminded me of my nannies' cooking (my mom's side was from London). Hey, The Griffin, I know you probably don't recall the California guy that came walking in with his Chinese wife back in April.... But we miss your cooking already, thanks for the amazing meal.

Great Christmas Meal, loads of drink food was very reasonably price. Very warm welcome.

We had Christmas Dinner at the Griffin yesterday and it was truly remarkable!!! Great service from arrival to finish. And the food was awesome!!! Best Christmas meal I’ve ever had. Thank you for a wonderful festive delight!!

We always have a fantastic time at the Griffin - and our annual Xmas jumper party is the highlight of our year! The staff go above and beyond, the food is utterly incredible and the atmosphere gorgeous. This is definitely our favourite pub! Thank you Griffin Team!

Lovely food friendly atmosphere was expecting pub food but was spectacularly surprised will go again A couple of friendly pussycats.

Food was delicious. Service was spot on and the staff were very accommodating. Atmosphere was lovely, your traditional local pub with a cozy feel.

Very welcoming staff and well kept real ales. Exceptional food includes home made pies with selection of vegetables, delicious burgers and skin-on chips with limitless toppings. Worth travelling to, recommended.

The Griffin in Brentford is a local gem that reflects the heart of the community, combining traditional British hospitality with a contemporary twist. With its inviting and laid-back atmosphere, this pub offers a diverse menu of mouthwatering dishes and an extensive selection of beverages, creating a delightful experience for patrons. The Griffin's warm and friendly service, coupled with its cozy ambiance, makes it a perfect spot for locals and visitors to enjoy the authentic charm of a community-centered pub in the lively neighborhood of Brentford.

Lovely little pub. Shame England beat Ireland in the rugby while I was here, maybe it could have been 5 stars if the result reversed!

Best raoasty toasty potato's ever. Great chef and Abu, I believe, best host in the world. Lovely lunch to remember 💕

Well!!! Went to the Griffin for the Sunday roast with family hmmmm not worth the money , food ( meats) beef so under cooked even the roast pork was still red in center and edge. Roast potatoes the lack of !! We’re heavily salted to try and crisp them up but forgot to cook spuds first ( still raw in center) V g was ok then you can’t really mess that up. Now for the so called gravy , already poured on plate and tbh it was the consistency of tap water , all food was swimming in it. VERY DISAPPOINTED with the Sunday Roast. Now the only good things was a the server was great considering and a proper ice cold Guinness. YET another Brentford eatery which is not worth the paper it’s written on .

Great wee place, can't score the food as I didn't have any, but the atmosphere and the service was great, will be back

First time back here after about 20 years when I used to go to Brentford matches. Great pub!

This was the comment by my boyfriend at the end of yet another perfect Sunday lunch. We live in Chiswick but have struggled to find a local pub or restaurant that matches The Griffin, so we travel the couple of miles to this gem in Brentford. Always enjoyable, not just for Sunday lunch

Visiting from Scotland to see our son. Wanted to take him for Sunday Lunch before we headed home. Joined Brentford friends on FB and the Griffin was recommended. Decided to give it a go and it definitely did not disappoint. Had the meat feast roast, slice of beef, lamb and pork. Meat (apart from pork) served medium rare just as we had asked for it. All trimmings and gravy, lush! And also the young girl serving was very polite and smiley. A real local pub. Made outsiders feel welcome.

As a keen supporter of old and classic pub it breaks my heart a bit to rate The Griffin as a 3/5. It’s been a classic over the years as one of the corner pubs of Griffin Park. Obviously times change and it’s a bit emptier now and lacks a bit of atmosphere. No doubt after a Brentford game the regulars still come in as once upon a time I did. The service was friendly enough, but a pint of Hofmeister came in at £7 for a pint. Really? In a backstreet pub in Brentford? I’ve had the same pint in central London recently for £6.50 and Sunbury even cheaper. One pint was enough at that price and thankfully the beers at the New Inn were much more reasonable and that is also a local classic. Sadly I’ve called time at The Griffin now. It was fun whilst it lasted.

Visited last Saturday to celebrate friends' 50th wedding anniversary. Have to say this pubs an absolute Belter. The staff, especially the young lady behind the bar, were superb. The food was simply first class and a Great family friendly atmosphere. Unlikely, we will visit again as we live over 200 miles away. However, if we are ever in the area, we will definitely be back. Bravo All concerned...5 Stars All the Way !!

Greatest pub in London. Make sure you bring cash! Fighting the globalist WEF neofascists one pint at a time

Excellent service great atmosphere on matchday even so the team has moved and great beer.

Not a great Sunday lunch experience. Food basic, service basic, no atmosphere. Rough & ready stuff. Vegan option pathetic.

Brilliant,community pub,went to see Stiff Joints

A rare gem on London is this one ❤️ The Griffin is a proper local. Warm and cosy, great food, the best Guiness for miles and fab staff. It's one of the original 4 corner pubs of Griffin Park andbyas real character. A proper London boozer. Class 👍

What a fantastic pub, the food is amazing, we had the Haggis samosas, the salt and pepper squid, and the burger, absolutely faultless. The staff here are so attentive. The whole vibe is fantastic. Give the place a try yo won't be disappointed at all. Thank you guys it was pleasure to be here.

Sehr gemütliches Pub mit leckeren Bieren und Essen. Sind sehr herzlich begrüßt und bewirtschaftet worden. Auf jeden Fall eine Empfehlung von uns und nochmals vielen Dank. 👍

Fantastic pub, good food and good beer with Cats, what more could you ask for 👍

Very very good food. Steak 8oz ribi. And good atmosphere.

A true local pub, amazing food!

Love this pub. Although we're not avid football fans we visit regularly for their delicious food and very friendly service. Great veggie options, good selection of beers on tap, and whoever is behind the bar is always very friendly, helpful and personable. Cute pub cat as well - bonus :) PS. try their french onion soup, it's to die for.

Nice place, makes a change getting that proper pub feel again and going back to the old haunts

spent a last night in UK at this cosy local pub. good ambience, friendly, warm service! 💞

This is more than a simple pub (though it’s a quite good one for drink, conversation and football). What I love most here is the unexpected and creatively excellent food AND the friendly “vibe” that Gerhard and Clare offer to all. It’s a family-place but one where the loyal followers also welcome others. Now while I wish their peas were mushy, the fish was huge and sweet! So the Fish n Chips were top notch. But the Sunday Roast was outstanding!!! (Hungry just looking at the pic to post). As well, who in their right might would dream of making Haggis Samosas?? (The answer is Gerhard and my goodness they were creamy and delish- who knew!!!)

This local pub is consistently good. The food is amazing - our party on Sunday had faggots, a small plate of Sunday roast beef with all the trimmings and two monkfish. Sometimes we pop in for a snack such as the garlic prawns. There is always a welcome in a pub which has retained its character whilst providing amazing food - so unusual in a public house

Totally amazing. We were expecting the usual 'pub' food. This was not the case. We only went two nights running and I had the same meal each time. The quality of the food was excellent, the menu very good, wine excellent. This is a pub full of the local people, but everyone was welcoming and we felt very appreciated by staff and fellow customers. We ate inside the 'pub' area but there seemed to be a larger eating area at the back. The lady serving us each night was delightful, funny and attentive, she kept us up to date with our food and ready with the next bottle of wine. Nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this pub for tourists, but you will have to book a table well in advance it is so popular.

Such a lovely place to spend a relaxed evening with friends in a pub - totally recommend. Especially super nice and friendly server & for all who needs to eat gluten-free or even have celiac: absolutely no problem here! Looking forward to next time!

Had a great meal here recently. Food was really flavoursome and reasonably priced. Staff were very friendly. Would come back again. Thanks to all the team!

I can’t praise the food enough at the Griffin Brentford We had French onion soup + fillet steak with double cooked chips & salad The soup as always was delicious 😋 The fillet steak was of excellent quality & cooked to perfection . Shout out to Gary the chef *****

Mein Lieblingsort in London. Leckeres Essen, tolle Biere, herzlicher Service und authentische Atmosphäre.

Great pub. Visited on a Saturday before a Rugby game intending to stay for a quick drink but service so good we stayed until just before kickoff. Had a Roast Beef & Horseradish sandwich that was amazing & would definitely recommend

We had a great evening here. Good beer and good food.

Thanks for a wonderful afternoon - a super Sunday lunch for our extended family to celebrate our Silver Wedding Anniversary. Full roast dinner, with 5 options, for 24 guests all cooked, presented and served perfectly. Thanks so much x

Amazing local pub and delicious food, really high quality British pub gastro, choose a boisterous day when Brentford are playing at home for great atmosphere or take a peaceful day off from football and enjoy the legendary Sunday lunch - thoroughly recommend 👍👍😊

Wir kehren hier immer auf das ein oder andere Pint ein wenn wir in Brentford zu Gast sind. Es gibt die volle "Fullers" Bandbreite (London Pride) im Angebot. Eine tolle Atmosphäre!

Excellent Sunday roast, very good service I took a beef roast, my son a lamb roast Both were delicious with a lot of gravy and a very good Yorkshire pudding The vegetables at side also very tasty As dessert we had cheesecake which was served with whipped cream, strawberries and berries The service was great. Sabine was really helpful and nice Today we came here by coincidence, but for sure we will come back

Absolutely incredible Sunday Roast, wonderful server, and great pints. A proper London pub, a hidden gem with delicious food.

Great pub, good food and a cracking pint

Friendly pub and a proper local

Excellent local pub with incredible food, atmosphere and service.

Landlords always very welcoming. Lovely food and nice little gem nestled away in Brentford. Always have good experiences at the Griffin

I’ve been going here for years. Nice atmosphere with friendly staff and the food is great

Pub avec un accueil chaleureux et une ambiance à la fois calme et autenthique.Nous nous sommes régalés et avons passé un très bon moment.

Great friendly pub. Food good. Staff very accommodating.

A great little place hidden away in Brentford. Lovely pub with the greatest landlords named Scully and Zelda. Fantastic couple of bosses keeping the human servants in check. Great beer and wonderful service. Highly recommended by me, keep smiling.

Good beer and a proper pub atmosphere which is so hard to find nowadays!

Best pub in London. Warm, friendly and the good is the best.

Excellent pub. Friendly and crackin atmosphere.

Great staff. Friendly and helpful

Visited on a match day so the staff had their workload! Excellent pub. Despite being busy, they were friendly, cheerful and efficient. Good selection of drinks available at reasonable prices for this area. Will be back.

We decided to go to The Griffin in search of a good Sunday roast Well we hit the jackpot The service was perfect The pub is like an oasis away from any hipster fakery run by a family An open fire next to our table was perfect The food Well the half chicken was cooked to perfection. Crispy skin and succulent meat The sides of cauliflower cheese broccoli and carrots were served sl dente full of flavour and texture The home made stuffing was spot on As were the two most important parts of a roast the gravy and roast potatoes Washed down by a pint and a half of Fullers London Pride beer My wife had pork belly which had the meat falling off of the bone she love it I have certainly found my go to and then some for a Sunday roast

Lovely pub great atmosphere and extremely friendly professional staff with good selection of alcoholic drinks and excellent food, well worth a visit. Having visited this pub again recently I have to reiterate that the food here is exceptional, wonderful atmosphere and exceptionally friendly staff and service
