The Pipe Major in Barking and Dagenham

Elise and kristina are an amazing team friendly professional and humerus Always a pleasure and make out trips to the pipe major really enjoyable

From the night before for prep, to the moment we arrived the following day, we were greeted with a really good welcome and staff could not do enough to accommodate everyone's needs. The service was impeccable and very professional. Food was fresh and well presented. Would recommend anyone to consider The Pipe Major for any event. Congratulations to all front and rear end staff.

Very nice food and good service from Katie, she went above and beyond and made us all feel very welcome and nothing was too much of a problem

Me and my family are weekly regulers, Staff are extremely friendly and helpful, Food is lovely and cater for everyone, there's a lovely beer garden with a secure park for the children, although if your looking to come for food on a weekend I advise to pre book

Julie and the team especially Jo, go above and beyond at this establishment they are friendly knowledgeable and alway’s kind & attentive. The only complaint I would say which I am sure comes from head office is the portions, I was told I am only allowed (very abruptly) that I am only allowed 1 very small peace of stuffing even though had ordered a medium roast (sometimes it’s not what you say it’s how you say it) Also my male friend had Apple crumble and his portion was just enough for a small child! Your desserts are not cheap and that was ridiculous!

Food was fantastic. Service was amazing. Very friendly staff. Our server was called Jo who was very attentive Will definitely come again

Jo was amazing making sure the place was up to a really high standard, super helpful and just super nice vibe to be around!

Carvery is always top class here, and value for money👍bonus is if you have a sweet tooth you can order dessert to takeaway, but the best thing about the pipe major is the staff, always friendly and welcoming, that is something that is rare today and we need to see more off. Thank you pipe major 👍

I arrived late as I was staying in a budget hotel next-door. I had eaten and just stood at the bar having a drink. I was glad I did as I got a cabaret. Elise runs a bar perfectly, laughing, joking, serving very efficiently and a permanent real smile. I really enjoyed the hour before closing time. Elise was a gem.

This is always our go-to place for a family catch up. Having all moved away of the area we still come back to Dagenham to visit family and Julie along with her staff are always welcoming

This is a good place to come to eat and drink and Kristina was great We had the wings with the new peri Peri sauce was delicious Speedy service and fantastic staff Thank you pipe major

Demi an Elise, outstanding, really friendly and helpful. Fair whizzed back to kitchen to grab food items missing. But delish food.

Absolutely amazing food (Sunday cavery) and very friendly staff. The pork belly is legendary! A very welcome stop gap on our journey to our hotel. Thank you everyone.

The food was really good but the stand out was the really friendly service. Various staff went out of their way to help an elderly friend so that we could enjoy our meals. They did this without being asked and were kind and helpful without patronising. We're frequent patrons, so we have come to expect this high standard is the normal, not the exception.

I visited the pipe major yesterday with a colleague, hilly I was passing through from Cardiff. I opted for main menu and she had carvery. The service we received from Julie and her team was wonderful and the food was spot on. We had a warm and genuine welcome with hot, fresh, well presented food, and all for a great price….what more can you ask for? We polished our meals off with a lovely hot cup of coffee 👌🏼 10 out of 10, will return when I am in the area next.

Went for dinner here on 1st December the meal was excellent just like the services, and the price was excellent as well with 30% discount, spot on. 👌

Had dinner with my family at the Pipe Major and I have to say it was excellent. Fantastic relaxed atmosphere,great menu full of pub classics and very friendly staff. It really couldn't have been nicer. The Atlantic cod and chips was honestly the best I've...

Went Tuesday 21 November at about 5 p.m. I had carvery but it was not good. Food was luke warm and had been on counter for a long time. Vegetables were not covered so would not keep hot anyway. I guess it was because Tuesday...

I had a lovely dinner here with my husband and children. Lovely bar staff and waitress, food was delicious and great drinks selection,will definitely return

It’s a food pub, but doesn’t serve food after 7:59pm, how rubbish is that, a food pub that doesn’t serve food. Would avoid this chain in future.

Staff are welcoming, helpful and always accommodating. Julie and her team always go above and beyond to ensure you have everything you need

Just had a lovely meal at the Pipe Major and looked after by the amazing Julie, the service was impeccable and the gin was amazing, thoroughly recommend

Been here quite a lot over the years and it’s always been ok, however last couple of times, the food hasn’t been great. Yesterday I ordered a BBQ cauliflower wings starter - I usually have the salad but it’s gone up to a ridiculous price...

Excellent place we visit every fortnight, staff are very friendly welcoming & accommodating, always get the table we ask for we’re possible food is excellent never had any complaints, we’re been going there every since they open and still going.

Recently went to the Pipe Major on three consecutive Sundays with friends and family. Hadn't been there for a while, but glad we returned. The food was amazing and plenty of it. The service was very quick and the staff friendly. We didn't choose the...

Out with my work mates had a great time. The girls serving were lovely and food great. Good little pub

Website says they open at 11.00am and start food service at 11.30. Turned up with my mother at 11.20 and its closed. Opens at 12 apparently. Update your website

Stopped by on our way home and didn't really fancy a big meal so opted for a selection of sides and starters. Restaurant was busy but calm and the staff were happy to help with anything that was asked of them. Food arrived quickly and...

Stopped at after a bike ride. Ordered 3 small starters to share breaded mushrooms were okay nachos very dry not tasty at all and mixed rib and chicken side no meat on at all with the rocket on the side very dead and dried up...

Great service and the best steak for a long time. Well done. Steak was well cooked and full of flavour.

On the website the Pipe Major is described as, we are famous locally for our fabulous daily carvery. What they fail to say are the times that the carvery is available. Looking forward to a carvery we booked for 19.00 hrs on Saturday. On arrival...

Love this place. Excellent food, lovely staff, good service and very reasonable prices. Always enjoy visiting here especially for the food

Friendly staff and good food very reasonably priced a nice enviroment for birthdays special occasions and outside area

Sloppy service due to lack of staff, starter came up with no fork or napkin, dinner csme up with a knife and again no fork and no napkins, condiments were pretty much empty

We love visiting this place, always a very friendly welcome, affordable yummy food. Lots of families enjoying this fab place.

Always a pleasure to visit this restaurant. Staff are always lovely and can definitely recommend the carvery!

Had Sunday lunch today 11th Feb. Took my friend, for her the first time there. Julie and Jo were marvellous, so friendly, pleasant, helpful and we hadn't booked and as always was so busy, as a popular venue for such great food, and they found...

Visited on a Sunday evening. The restaurant was very busy but we had a reservation. Julie was, as always, very welcoming. Went to sit down (table 3) and noticed how filthy the chairs were. Stained and rotten. The curtains were tatty and had dirty marks...

Lots of good points to mention first: Exceedingly nice, helpful staff. They were all working very hard. Not one of them standing around doing nothing. All tables were sprayed and cleaned when customers left. Toilets were fine. Prices seem extremely reasonable. I had a standard...

What an amazing restaurant, I can’t fault the place, the staff were lovely the food was amazing, my friend had a carvery and gave it a 10/10. What an amazing restaurant. I will definitely be returning. And I high recommend to anyone looking for a...

We visited just before Christmas on World Cup Final Day. We were soaked on arrival but there was nowhere to hang the wet coats, so we had to place them over the chairs. When the starters were brought to the table, The Prawn Cocktails were...

We visited yesterday for Christmas dinner as a family of 6 it was a horrible experience for what should have been a special occasion. We were seated on on arrival, waitress came over and asked us if we wanted any drinks. I had to ask...

My boyfriend and I came in a few weeks ago for lunch. Seated quickly and when I went to place the order, I had some questions as I am vegan, and the server went to check and read packaging labels in order to help me....

We had the Christmas menu and the carvery and were served by Courtney. Table was set up ready for us with Christmas crackers and wine glasses. Was very busy in there but Courtney was great and checked on us periodically to make sure everything was...

Lovely family friendly pub and restaurant. Lovely food and good value for money. Great cocktails. Friendly and helpful staff.

We went here as a family of 10 for my mum 70th birthday we was greeted nicely and sitted at our table which was ready for us. Food we got was 3 carvery and the rest steak and burger which was nice the only issue...

We were Saturday away fans and having abandoned a trip to the Lord Denman as they had no real ales on, this place came up and we tried it out. It is a big chain Marston's eatery, the ale choice was Pedigree, Hobgoblin regular and...

One of the best places around to enjoy a few glasses of wine in the garden catching up with friends.. Staff are friendly and polite even when busy

Spent 3 nights next door in the travelodge for business, utilised here for my evening meals and they were very accommodating allowing me to have them as takeaways as I wasn’t feeling too sharp. That was very much appreciated 👍 Food was grand. Staff were...

The manager and all the staff are so friendly, helpful and hard working and go above and beyond to make your visit an outstanding experience. This is by far the best pub in the area, I would strongly recommend it to everyone.

I booked a table for 7.30 on a Friday evening. When we got to the restaurant we noticed how busy it was, we went to book in and when the man reached the door he said before he booked us in he wanted to tell...

22/08/22 Monday around 20:00ish. Staff asked whether we want our food to come all together as one order was the mix and match grazers so 3 small portions of food. Anyways it was served as a starter despite agreeing to the offer for the food...

I've been to this restaurant many times but lately the carvery has gone done hill. The roast potatoes are undercooked or just burnt, they seem clueless how to cook them, the meat varies greatly, it depends on who the chef is, the cut the turkey...

Really impressed with the service from all concerned; everyone went above & beyond re my allergy which I had advised pre visit. Thank you. Excellent customer service, knowledgeable and friendly staff; food well cooked and really enjoyable. I will definitely go again.

Good food and lovely atmosphere, seemed like they had some new staff who were super friendly and welcoming. I always enjoy my time there. Honestly have never had a bad time experience.

The food was really good! Staff were top notch, carvery looked fresh and tasty. Beer garden has to be the best in the area!

Went there for my mums birthday meal, 15 of us and we were all made to feel so comfortable by the staff, very polite waitresses and the bar staff were so easy to have a laugh with. Because there were a lot of us I...

Excellent welcoming service from all staff. My Nan fell ill toward the end of our visit and the manager Julie was amazing in assisting us until paramedics arrived. A lovely environment for a family afternoon out

Delicious food and friendly staff. I love the fact that the outdoor area is quite big. The kids also loved the playground, which is a big plus. I can definitely recommend

I had last been to the Pipe Major almost 4 years ago and I have to say that I was truly disappointed when going there on Sunday. I had myself, my sister and my 3 yr old boy. We were placed near the back where...

Spent the day here! We was here from 1:30 to 7:30 had little kiddies running around in the play park we ordered multiple meals and spent the day buying drinks. Mostly alcoholic (I was driving so was on orange juice) Got a fine through the...

amazing food as always been cameing here for years and i never had any bad meal the stuff are so helpful and also its a great place prices are afford able will alwasy be back here

Had nachos with pulled pork toppings the pork looked like dog food and was cold , the nachos had no cheese on top absolutely disgusting

The delay for the carvery was ridiculous considering I was the only one waiting. The food was cold and mostly overcooked. Cannot fault the rest of the staff and they themselves don't deserve such a bad review, but the food was below average, and that's...

Took my young children to eat and enjoy the sunshine. Friendly staff, excellent outdoor space with a play area for children in the non smoking side of the garden area which I personally think is a great idea. Food was lovely and a hit all...

Excellent service from all members of staff from the moment we entered the building, the food was amazing and arrived quickly. we had no issues with our visit

Although the pub being busy the staff made sure everything was perfect from the seating to the food. The staff are friendly and happy to help and answer questions we had about the menu. I definitely will be coming again. Adam (our server) was very...

From the moment of arrival we were greeted by an older small lady with glasses who was extremely rude, even tells us to go away at one point. The guy behind the bar was just as bad. Yes we are football fans but also good...

Very poor food and service, plastic cups end treated like animals because there was a football match on. We didn't pay pie and Bovril rates so why such poor service?

This is my third time here now and I’m yet to have a bad experience! The staff are always polite and helpful. The food tasted really good and fresh. Serves was quick which was good as we were all hungry. Only downfall was no Ales...

The staff was friendly and professional as always, the food was great and very good value for money. The carvery is a must have

Polite, friendly service all night from all the staff, Courtney was very professional, got us seated quickly, did check backs. My main meal was slightly cold but as soon as we got up from the table to find someone a team member was there straight...

Booked a table online for 2pm & received confirmation of booking for 1pm. Couldn’t get through to the in to confirm time & when we finally got through we were told they didn’t have a booking for us at all. Upon speaking to the manager...

Visited this restaurant to catch up with family over the past weekend. The food was delicious, highly recommend the steak. The two young lady managers were lovely and very attentive. A great atmosphere in the evening as well. The family loved it, we’ll be back...

My burger patties tasted strange (not fresh at all) very disappointing. Starter and dessert was nice though.

The young man wearing a white shirt was very helpful and polite. The person who brought our food over was very polite, the meals we had where great. Hot and tasty. I would definitely recommend the pipe major to my friends and family.

Great service from the ease of booking to the great reception we met on arrival. A lot of thought and planning had gone into our request for a quiet table for two friends venturing to our first restaurant get together since before shielding. We were...

Great friendly staff, good food, good beer. What more do you want. Lovely place. Only danger is its addictive !!

Probably the worst meal I’ve had for ages. Who knew that ‘onion rings’ meant two onion rings! Desert was all sold out. Service was from the bar only. Avoid.

Had a very nice enjoyable meal and the staff were lovely and very helpful. Will definitely go back again.

Has a really lovely evening, service was amazing. Waitress was superb, Chloe Lewis. Really professional and very happy, thank you!

Pipe Major is a cosy plase to eat and drink with your friends and family. Lovely traditional British menu with fast service. I strongly recommend it.

I enjoyed 2 evening meals here this week whilst staying in the Travelodge next door. I went for a large car very for the first night and a triple burger the second night. Both tasty and well priced. Plenty of staff keeping things ticking over...

Highly recommend the Pipe Major. The food was excellent value for money. Julie, the manageress was amazing, as were every single member of her staff.

My partner and I were starving and saw the Pipe Major close to our destination. We entered the restaurant, were immediately shown to our table. I ordered our food and drinks, shortly after the food arrived was hot and well presented. The staff were attentive...

2nd time attending this venue was ok last time couldn’t get a table elsewhere tonight so tried again was very impressed food was very tasty and service polite and friendly will go again

Wouldn’t come here again! Was given small amount of food and was moaned out for asking for more then 1 potato. Then 4 of our orders didn’t show up! The chef was getting food back from different tables and moving them to different plates to...

We visited the the pub for my nans celebration for beating cancer the staff were amazing we was served by the amazing Courtney who went above and beyond to help us. Thank you so much for making my nans day special

We had our dinner on 07/07/2021 . Very disappointed on the service; The staff was waiting for us to live the venue . Was a lady very rude and not polite at all. The food was very good and the lady which served us was...

Very disappointed about the staff. Rude manier of addressing. Rushing the customers to leave the space. At all these wrong way of servicing comes from manager

Visited there with my partner and always a brilliant service. Food was fast and fresh, and staff was helpful as always. Highly recommend whether you’re visiting as a date night or a family dinner

We went out for a family meal, the service was fantastic and the staff was as friendly as anything. Service was fast and efficient. Brilliant food and drink, have no complaints what so ever. Brilliant environment too.

Visited for Father’s Day and the experience was excellent. The staff were friendly and efficient and the food was really good. Would definitely go back and recommend to friends.

John the manager was great. Very helpful. Very professional. Great customer service. He made the evening great with family.

Staff very helpful, food was very tasty, had the mega hunters chicken and mixed grill can’t complain about the food at all!

Fantastic roast dinner good service sat in the garden great play area for the children which allowed me and the wife time to enjoy dinner staff really were polite and professional. Host Julie was extremely helpful and could not do enough for us

Met up with friends since lockdown, I ordered hunters chicken I would say it was a small portion, food was served to the table at different times, I finished off with a latte with baileys, it was served in a cup that was warm and half full and to top it off the price was £6.35, I wish I hadn't wasted my money.

Wouldn't recommend the large cod an chips for the price u pay it's not worth the portion size an it's not a large cod more like a medium with loads of batter to fatten it up wont be buying again

Went for lunch, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful and couldn’t do enough for us but it was early lunch time so not many people were in. We had the Carvery which was ok if not a bit dry from sitting around. We also had the chocolate eclair cake which was lovely but the portion sizes need looking at as we all had different portion sizes.

First of all we had to wait way to long for our food to come even though the place wasn’t busy at all. My partner ordered soup which never came. His fish and chips was unbelievably greasy. I ordered medium size beef carvery, the portion size of the beef was the tiniest I’ve ever seen, rock solid, hard to chew. The Yorkshire pudding was burnt couldn’t even bite into it. The whole dish was overcooked and tasteless. Won’t be back here...
