21/03/2019: was my partners 70th with some off her old friends

19/01/2019: I came down the Beacon Tree ( A.k.a Matapan) on Saturday night 19 January with my boyfriend.

22/04/2019: My children will not buy fish and chips anywhere else for over 20 years, good value for money The best in Dagenham

19/04/2019: Ordered a large fish and chips, with a minimum wait particularly on Good Friday. The staff were friendly and kept all orders moving while preparing 2-3 orders in advance so the food remained hot. This is the first time we've had fish & chips from The Golden Fish Bar but we're eager to return and try some other options.

18/05/2019: We popped into this pub for a drink before going out, we waited at the bar to get served and just kept waiting. The staff were not keeping an eye on who had been waiting the longest and people were being served who had just walked up to the bar. We waited nearly 20 minutes and then just walked out.

15/05/2019: After Visiting the pipe major on the eve of Tuesday 14th May, with some of my family and friends I decided to have the carvery for my dinner along with my daughter and husband.

05/05/2019: This place is now the pits. What a shame. How do places like this get a licence No prices displayed.

21/04/2019: I order a pint of Kronenbourg beer without knowing that the price has gone up this week by 20 pence to £3.50 . I have made a complaint the bar staff order different beer !

05/05/2019: Lovely vegetable kofta and lamb Kauai. Friendly personable staff. Had great takeaways from here for a couple of years and after not being in the area for 18 months, it was lovely to visit for delicious food. Seek it out.

24/03/2019: We regularly order takeaway from here but today decided to eat in. What a great decision, the food was even better. We didn’t order anything that wasn’t really tasty and well cooked. We tried the chicken 65 and machli ajwaini for starters. Then tandoori king prawns, lamb madras and Bombay aloo for mains. Garlic naan and stuffed paratha to top it off and a sneaky Irish coffee. Couldn’t find fault. Food wasn’t oily at all and the spice was just right, nice heat but flavoursome instead of just hot. Service was friendly and efficient. All great value for money, almost don’t want anyone else to know about it. We will certainly be back! Very happy diners.

22/05/2019: Went for lunch with friends. There was a waitress called Pam. She was a lovely friendly person who made our lunch more fun than we expected. Wish I could take her everywhere. Lovely lady. Will definitely be going back. Thanks Pam.

20/05/2019: Popped in for breakfast greeted by Pam smiles all round ordered cooked food which was delicious Pam was very attentive as usual glad I stopped off will be back soon

16/03/2019: We went into the Shamrat as the Indian at the top of the road as full, we were advised they had just opened so did not have too much alcohol and did not take cards. The food was EXCELLENT, we all enjoyed what we ordered and had a nice bottle of wine.

14/10/2018: Living just around the corner, we used to be regulars. However our last couple of visits have gone from poor to dreadful. Service was limited to one over-worked waiter resulting in many tables walking out. (We waited over an hour for starters!) Food is not nearly as good as it used to be. Portions poor, quality dreadful. The owner seemed not to care as he said he's closing down and refurbing as a restaurant and cocktail bar! Certainly wont be visiting again. And considering that there is so much good competition in the area - one would have thought that the owner would try and improve the quality and service.

02/05/2019: Call of nature on way home from work. Toilets not clean, reek of urine, blocked toilets, no toilet roll. On way in and out my shoes stuck to the carpet. Oh dear, disgusting.

01/04/2019: went malta and was going all around the island and went in for a beer and was very good was in rthir erly but went passed at night it was very bizzy indeed so must be good thhats how i tell no one in thir not good but this place was alive lots of happy people drinking and having a joy full time together food looked good didant stop tho went to bhiggba for the night

03/05/2019: Nice friendly pub and good food. However, the stupid parking scheme will stop us coming again. We did not see any signs that said we had to enter our car reg. number in a small box hidden on a wall to one side of the bar.( Maybe because we weren't expecting it), and no members of staff mentioned it to us either.Apparently there are small signs on the tills but who reads the back of tills? Then we got a £50 parking charge 2 weeks later. I noticed an earlier reviewer had the same problem which prompted a reply from management explaining that they could help with obtaining receipts to prove parking was genuine. Based on this I phoned for help and was told "sorry but it's nothing to do with us. You have to appeal by email and we can't help with receipts." So all in all a positive review made negative by a greedy parking company and staff unable or unwilling to help. If staff were trained to greet customers with " don't forget to go to the little machine around the corner or you will pay more for the car park than for the food and drink" they might get more repeat business.

27/04/2019: Excellent pub! Very warm friendly atmosphere, amazing delicious food with huge choice of food ans drinks available at very good prices. Michelle the manageress and her team make you and your family feel really welcome. Very highly recommended! +++++

04/05/2019: I was with my family and friends there was 4 adults and 3 children we were shown to a table but was short of one place setting the waitress was quite friendly but as for the meal there was not a full compliment of meats the portions were quite small as compared to other Toby Carverys in the area the vegetables were a bit sparse and they were very dry I felt the staff behind the counter had the attitude of its only a job but no real customer care I didn’t see any gravy on display and the utensils for serving were left under the hot lamps and another diner had difficulty getting his food another diner complained about his food and said it was inedible. I know that it is a very hard environment to work in but I think in this instance the management didn’t have their finger on the pulse so to speak. Sorry but I wasn’t impressed with my visit and the next time I come to the area I will not be dining in this restaurant. I know Toby Carvery have some high standards but they wasn’t at this establishment

03/05/2019: Thank you once again for making our group lunch an enjoyable experience. The meat was excellent, and the service,as always, superb.

05/03/2019: Have often see this place but never visited so we decided to rectify that and paid a visit on a Saturday night with 7 friends We were greeted warmly by the owner. We had shared anti-pasta which was delicious. We all ordered various main course varying from pizza to pasta and meat. All served up at the same time along with shared platters of veg and salad. We had the Montipulciano and Chianti wines both of which were delicious. It was a very enjoyable evening and would definitely return.

21/02/2019: We have not dined here for a few months so tbought as its local we would try this restaurant this evening. We were not made welcome and felt rushed. Food was ok. First bottle of wine lovely. Second bottle not good. Replaced with house white. Nice. More or less got shoved out of restaurant at 10pm as they wanted to go home. No complimentary drinks which we have always had. We will not be returning any time soon.
