Always good food, beer and service. The best of the ember inns. Sunday lunches are great, Friday nights are fun. Friendly staff and locals

Went to the venue for drinks and then decided to get some nibbles/food. Asked for the large Chicken wings only to be told they don?t have any. The new ownership were supposed to have sorted all this stuff out, basically the same as it?s always been. If you pick the right thing you?re ok, if not, same old, same old, ?we haven?t got it?. Staff are all lovely though.

Table was laid with festive gits and everything was ready when we arrived. food was very good, hot and lots of veg and gravy. Waitresses were polite, professional and friendly. Overall a good experience and very reasonable. Will certainly be going there again.

We always come here for the Quiz, drinks and service are good but the room the quiz is done in is sweltering (regardless of temperature outside)

We had a buffet for guests who had attended my mum's funeral. Vicki was very helpful when we booked and also on the day. Kyle, Carli and Candi were also great. The food was good and we felt we had received very good service. One of our guests was taken ill and the staff were great at giving support and calling the ambulance. Thank you to everyone. This is a very convenient pub if yoou have guests arriving from further away as it si next to Hornchurch station, in has a car park, and also has rooms.

I visited the Railway pub with a large group of friends on a Friday evening. Unfortunately there was a live group playing where the music was so loud that we could not hear ourselves speak. We decided to leave and go elsewhere. We have all decided not to return to the Railway and thought the entertainment was unsuitable for such a small bar area.

I've tried three times to leave this review but Trip Advisor keeps removing it. We did have a lovely stay but this went sour when we returned home to find items from our stay missing or been swapped with fake immitations. We're really appalled and a formal complaints been logged. If you stay here lock everything away.

Really great staff, very friendly and helpful. Drinks good. However, recent changes to their menu mean vegetarians are almost overlooked. There are 4 vegan mains courses in quite an extensive menu and a couple of starters. However, the starter we wanted was out of stock, as was one of the main course choices. Nothing vegetarian on the main courses (only vegan) which is annoying when there is a macaroni cheese on the lunch menu and vegetarian sausages on the breakfast menu, so why not offer a vegetarian sausage and mash? Not all vegetarians want vegan, so it just seems lazy to lump them into one basket. Was also disgusted to find that all meat burgers come with chips but the vegan burger does not and so had to pay extra for them. Lastly, the mushy peas served with the haddock were anything but - half a dozen bullet hard peas swimming in in cold green liquid. The 3 stars are for the staff and their excellent customer service but where we have been regulars at Ember Inns in the past, the changes to menu mean they are off our list.

Only popped in for a quick beer while waiting for my takeaway! I got asked if I was going to do the quiz next minute, pencil in hand! I?m half way through and forget about my takeaway! It was Chinese aswell my favourite so instead I ordered a mix grill (well done) with a side of cheesy garlic bread, onions rings, mix veg and side salad followed by 4 pints of coors! After all that I was still hungry and ordered a kilo of bbq wings! These are to die for!!! Shame I left some! Luckily I was able to book myself in the hotel for the night as I could barely walk after all this. I must admit it was totally worth it! The manager Matt was so friendly and such a brilliant quiz master. After receiving table service from Tony I couldn?t fault the experience at this venue! Will be returning for round 2 on those wings! Thank you guys for such an amazing time and service I?ll definitely be back with the family let?s hope you?ve got enough food in to feed all 13 of us! As we can eat. Btw the breakfast in banging! Couldn?t resist a cheeky full English after the night I had! Where can I start the bacon was so delicious and crispy just how I like it! Those succulent sausages left me wanting more, I was quickly filled up by those juicy eggs, mushrooms, beans, tomatoes and toast! I?ll see you in a few hours for lunch!

Took my elderly mother for Sunday lunch, absolutely first class. Food was excellent, hot, fresh, tender. No long waits for meals, polite servers. Could not fault it at all

No longer here, now a Holland and Barrett. Hays has also gone now a Taco bell so no travel agent in Hornchurch.
