The food quality has dropped noticeably and the majority of the staff haven't got a clue how to pour a pint or, smile. At weekends they have a Toilet Attendant (in a poor attempt to prevent people doing drugs) who insists on talking to you while you're trying to have a pee. No longer my local.

Sports always on in the background which can be a hit or miss when you might just want to head their for a quiet drink. Food was ok, big healthy sized portions but typical greasy pub grub. We tried ordering some other dishes but most where sold out, it took three attempts before we were lucky to get something they had. (Visit - 31/01/2015 Lunch)

I go out of my way to come here for a hearty and filling dinner. I've had the steak and ale pie, the wings, and the chicken tikka masala. They're all solid, especially for the price. When I pointed out to the barmaid that my 30 piece wing order only had 25 wings, they even brought me an extra three wings to compensate. I love you, Goosie!

I've been to this pub a few times and I'm quite a fan!! The drink and food prices are brilliant,…read moreespecially as the area is just a 20 minute train ride to central London - great place to start your drinking and meeting up with friends for a night out!! They serve a variety of food, big lunches/dinners and also snacks and platters. The food is of great quality, never heard anyone complain about the food. Drink prices are good, much like a weatherspoon pub. The pub doesn't play any music but is well decorated and always clean!! There are plenty of tables and a couple of booths for larger groups - great place to talk with friends. The only bad thing about this pub is that the toilets (ladies anyway) are through a door at the back and up some stairs. This can sometimes be a little tricky when you've had a few too many :-p

Management of the pub has recently changed, but the subtle changes have not been detrimental…read more(unless you count your local being active on Facebook, that is!). There is an increased focus on hosting events and getting people to come in for some of the TV sport, and - in addition to the weekly quiz - there are also Poker sessions and occasional live music (seems the recession has made it more important to get the punters in). The Standard also seems set on maintaining a better selection of real ales these days. Guest ales come and go very regularly and are generally well kept - I have even switched from my regular lager to drinking bitter as a result. The pub also runs special promotions during local events (it opened early for the London Marathon for example, and RunToTheBeat), and has also hosted charity fundraising events for local groups - one day, I walked in to a fantastic selection of cakes all on sale in aid of a local toddler group (I think). Of course, big games on TV make the pub busy, and as there aren't a lot of local alternatives, sometimes you just have to grin and bear it. Service is generally very efficient and friendly. Free wifi is still available - with the week's code usually chalked up on a small blackboard at the right hand end of the bar.

This pub looks like it has done (I'm assuming) since about 1985. The vast menu full of pub comfort food presents excellent value for money, and the real ale on tap is even better. Two big all-day breakfasts and two pints of ale was only £17, and the pub offered some much-needed respite after a morning of moving to the area. I'll definitely be back to this pub with frequency, but I would be lying if I said it was because of any 'je ne sais quoi' that this pub has over others in London. No, it's because it's cheap, friendly and inviting. And because it's within stumbling distance of my new house. The fact that the pub patrons smiled welcomingly when I walked in, never having seen me before, definitely made me feel like I'd walked straight out of London and into some small-town local, which was unnerving - I'll be honest. But I guess that's all part of getting used to living in the lovely village of Wanstead. There are also some picnic tables out front that catch an impressive amount of midday sun, even in the winter.

No problems what so ever, but just few alcoholics, few degraded people. We sat outside, which was nice. Beer prices were not expensive. Interior was big, but not in its best shape. There's a little book shelf corner beside entrance, if you fancy reading :-) gave a little charm to the pub. I'd not go back there, tho. This is locals pubs. The end.

This O'Neills is quite small and get's really busy. It's quite difficult to move around without bumping into someone and takes agaes just to get to the toilet (of which only has 2 cubicles). The drink prices are a bit high and personally I would rather go to a different O'Neills!! On the plus side, it's lovely for lunch during the day, they do get some really good live bands there and they have a garden so you can pop out for a smoke or just go outside to cool down without leaving the venue.
