    Lively pub (at least it was when I was there on a Saturday evening), with a good atmosphere. As far as I can tell it's the only pub in an area where there is a lot of new development. I assume that it's survived from the days when the Dock were there, although it has clearly undergone a bug refurbishment. The building is interesting.

    I live close by to this pub and the food is amazing! This place gets everything perfect every time. We’ve had Sunday roast, fish and chips, even salads, quesadillas, chips, it’s all amazing!!

    What’s going on with this place, bar staff are so good yet now it’s empty. No students (as no incentive to come) prices gone up (fair enough), no sports, on TV, no more private functions, no nothing, atmosphere is now shot to pieces. New rules plastered all over the place. Beer also tastes different. I just don’t get it.

    I ordered king prawn starter with garlic & peri sauce and bread it stated on menu. There was no taste of garlic, sauce was just tomato & onion no garlic, no seasoning. Waste of £6. Atmosphere nice for early afternoon snack. Drinks snacks £££ discounts for students. Mostly workmen/ladies mostly men. And students Back venue was rented out, so had to wait a bit for food. Overall up to date music friendly staff. 😌 mixed people.

    The food is lovely but the place is dirty. The menus and tables are not cleaned even during quiet times; when asked our table to be cleaned, the woman who brought our food out went back to serve other customers first, leaving us holding our plates for a few minutes, all while her colleague played on his phone. Won’t be coming here again.

    Had my little boy first birthday party organized in their private room. Sharing platter was great, drinks good, service is excellent. All what you want is friendliness and smiles around on a birthday celebration which they delivered excellent. Thank you team and sorry for the mess. Lol

    I would pass judgement however I didn’t receive any service whatsoever so I’m not sure what to complain about. In the staffs defence it was a Wednesday evening and there were at least 6 people in the venue. Still, wouldn’t have minded a drink instead of being totally ignored.

    Awesome English pub to kill time. Bartenders are pretty good and friendly even if you're a stranger and the food is good, the sharer plate. Very beautiful place, go there eyes closed to relax and have good time

  • 4/5 Kranich I. 4 months ago on Google
    Good food for a pub, also nice and clean environment and great options of non-alcoholic beers. I can't give five stars due to the very loud music when I was there and the style of "hood" music.

    Having picked my wife up from work we decided to have dinner here while we waited for the rush hour traffic to thin out a bit. Parking here is very limited, but we were lucky, so I can't vouch for what the local on-road parking is like. The decor, furnishings and drinks menu are all par for the course. The service was quick and reasonably friendly. But what impressed me greatly was their food, it is just simply, very very good. We have been back since and will go here again. I think this bar needs a USP of some sort, be that some olde worlde charm, a more eclectic drinks menu, or just a play list that was less generic. But go for the food, everything else is OK it just won't excite you as much.

    Beautifully positioned pub restaurant just oozing with Eastend character, Lively & vibrant with a great friendly atmosphere, Great choice of keenly priced food, well presented while tasting as good as it looked. Good honest friendly service and will definately be visiting this lovely establishment when we next venture to thos part of London

    This is a FANTASTIC pub! I was viewing an apartment in the area & spotted Galyons. I walked in and was met with warm smiles (& beautiful people). I was impressed with the staff and their kindness & friendliness with every patron. Each person receives a tailored experience- depending on what they were in for, ordered, etc. I stayed for two hours & ended up ordering food and drinks. Filipe (a FANTASTIC HUMAN & he should own this place!!!!) was marking really helpful recommendations & being all around awesome! He made several of the beverages & they were all so tasty! I ordered dirty fries & BBQ wings & LOVED them both. I will be living in Kings Cross Area but I WILL return for the food and friendliness of this place!!! Make this a stop on your travel itinerary!!! Awesome prices, student deals, and VERY good food!!!

  • 5/5 Silvane Da R. 4 months ago on Google
    We visited for the first time and we love it. Delicious starter, we had fried halloumi and salted and pepper squid, for main course we had beef burgers and dessert we had chocolate fondant. 10 stars to the chef and everyone who was working to make our visit unforgettable. It was a cosy atmosphere and we highly recommend it.

  • 4/5 Daniel P. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice-looking pub with plenty of seating space. The service is good and the food quite nice, especially the skinny and sweet potato fries. Plenty of choices of meals but not many veggie options and only a vegan one amongst all the mains.

    I enjoyed a simple lunch of a chicken and bacon wrap with chips in a beautiful Arts and Crafts building that was probably the last stop before Edwardians set sail for the Empire.

  • 4/5 H M. 1 year ago on Google
    Very friendly place with outside seating. The staff is always polite and helpful. We normally go for drinks but last week we ordered salmon with rice and Bbq spare ribs. The dishes were tasty although I would have liked it less cooked. The kitchen is not open Mondays and Tuesdays. Overall, very positive experience.

  • 5/5 Shannon L. 2 years ago on Google
    Lovely pub with a laid back atmosphere and super friendly bar staff. Ordered the beef Sunday roast and fish and chips, both were thoroughly enjoyed and very reasonably priced.

  • 5/5 Chris B. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Snejana R. 3 years ago on Google
    Very nice atmosphere, the staff are friendly, and the food, just a bomb, delicious, big portions, prices are affordable!

  • 5/5 Chloe Alanis-Louise R. 2 years ago on Google
    Been here a few times for lunches and dinners. Always great customer service from friendly staff, even when they're busy and under pressure. Lovely food whether you're having the meals or desserts and a good variety of drinks. Indoor and outdoor seating providing a cosy atmosphere. Family-friendly and good for a date, meal with friends or just a quick drink. Always recommend

  • 5/5 Matthew T. 1 year ago on Google
    Staff were very friendly. They give student discounts to University of East London (UEL) students making the prices even more reasonable than they already were. I think that this place is pretty nice to have a few drinks, and the food isn't bad either.

  • 5/5 Luke 1 year ago on Google
    Came here for dinner with a few friends. The food was great and reasonably priced. The staff were also very polite. Will happily return next time Comic Con is on

  • 4/5 Rob C. 2 years ago on Google
    Very pleasant pub experience here with some nice food, excellent, friendly and attentive staff. Main course food portions are great but the deserts were somewhat underwhelming. Reasonably priced. It's a nice retreat out the way by the water's edge. Parking space is limited though. Edit: Returned here last night (October 27th 2021) with family [six of us]. Food was really nice once again and the deserts improved greatly. However, the experience was severely hampered by a table of 10 extremely loud guests. The dining area for more than four people is rather small unfortunately, so there is no option to move elsewhere.
