Ramble Inn - Central Dr, Hornchurch

The BEST Irish pub this side of the Irish Sea. Makes me feel at home just walking through the door

Very strange pub which doesn't accept card payments. My wife and I stopped by for a drink before dinner as I'd passed this pub quite a few times but we had to leave because they don't accept card. This was very disappointing as I wanted to give this pub a chance.

Best Irish bar in London. Always feel welcome here. Best pint of Guinness outside of Ireland. The staff are really attentive. They remember our orders when we go here and we always have a great time when we visit.

From the outside it looks quite dark and narrow inside. But appearances can be deceptive. Inside it’s quite spacious, possibly because there aren’t any stalls for people to sit at the bar. I visited with a friend who drinks Guinness, and he was quite happy with what he had. I usually drink bitter, and not the smooth kind of bitter that’s served here. However the bar staff were quite friendly, and suggested the Atlantic. This was a reasonable alternative, and quite refreshing, given that it was a warm day when I went there. The televisions were showing football results, and horseracing. Other customers seemed quite friendly, and we stayed for another round.

Nice place with excellent Guinness but no real ale/bitter. Cash only. Long room with enough irish character to make you want to stay. Nice covered beer garden out the back
