Their food is the way forward & the only way to get thru the weekend
Highly recommended especially if you like trains in the garden
Fast efficient service. I chose beef but it wasn’t the best, thin slices of beef that were sinewy. My husband had chicken and that was good
Excellent place will definitely visit again! Consistently great food options
The Food was lovely and didn’t need to wait long.
Overall an amazing experience with a top quality roast dinner and a real working train to amuse the toddler! Only disappointment was the lack of ice-cream for pudding! ;)
Potatoes were a bit dry. Bit on the pricey side.
The food was ok. They roast potatoes could have been better. Too much vet, not enough gravy (perhaps serve gray in a boat so people can have as much/little as they want?)
Great fish and chips. My friend had a nice veggie burger made with chickpeas. Nice range of beers.
Lovely pub and atmosphere. Food average but good selection of drinks and friendly staff. Great train in the garden for kids to ride on!
Amazing small plates, really delicious and excellent presentation! Nice pub, very very family friendly.
I really like this pub and overall the food was great but you really need to take a look at the risotto, far far too dry, the creaminess comes from the slow absorption of stock not from loads of butter to compensate. Everything else very tasty and love having this place close by especially as summer approaches.
I loved the place. The staff were really helpful, the venue was lovely, it was spacious and very pleasant. The food was excellent. Thanks!!
Love coming to the Holly Tree. The staff are so friendly & attentive and we all throughly enjoyed our Easter Sunday lunch here. Will defo be back. Thank you so much.
Lovely pub with great pub food. Lovely community family atmosphere
Friendly, good beer, nice staff and food. Great Pub! Train is an amazing bonus as well for the kids!
The best roast in Forest Gate plus THE TRAIN. Big fan, staff are lovely, great service. Good veggie options, kid friendly.
Lovely food, good and fast service and lovely selection of beers!
Good food and nice pub, nice friendly family pub in east London
Never once have I had a bad meal. Food plentiful and tasty. Great house red.
Very welcoming to babies and small children, friendly atmosphere efficient system for ordering
Really enjoyed our first visit. Loved it. 😊 will go again.
Great Sunday afternoon with a couple of friends, enjoying a few pints, a great roasts and good vibes. We ended up having a walk at the park nearby. Just a perfect spot in East London for a Sunday afternoon.
Nice roast lamb main and pudding and cream for after with my daughter. Nice atmosphere 👌
Great Sunday roast as always - perfect Mother's day visit!
Slow service, tables around us were served food ahead of us despite ordering and arriving after us.
we booked to go in the adult section and were originally sat in a loud, cold conservatory with many children. Thankfully the staff member noticed that we didn't have children so offered to move us into the adult section. My beef was overcooked and there was too much cabbage on the plate. also there was no cauliflower cheese side anymore :(
A really good dinner! The plate was full, lots of everything. I particularly enjoyed the piles of beautifully cooked veg. The gravy was really tasty too. Three generations enjoyed Sunday lunch in convivial surroundings. Thankyou to Laura for moving us to the snug which was perfect.
The food was fresh and tasted nicely. Friendly staff who served our table. Well done.
I love this pub but it just seems to be getting a bit full of itself. Dessert menu prices are all £7.50 and the portions are either tiny or really disappointing. Soggy bread and butter pudding. Stringy roast beef. Chewy pork belly. Seems to be getting more and more average to disappointing by the week.
Great food and service. Definitely doing it again. The adults area is god send. Perfect.
Just an easy relaxing place to spend a `Sunday afternoon with dogs and children!
Nice venue. Dog friendly and gave our pups a treat so we felt very welcomed. I messed up my order but the server was very gracious. Plenty of staff so not left waiting. Food was great. Nice pub grub.
Fish and chips were delicious and service wonderful Will go back
Lovely roast! Very busy but they were really accommodating and service was great
Disappointed that when I booked the table their was no information to say we needed to prebook Christmas menu. Such a same really disappointed!
Great pub and atmosphere, lovely staff,beautiful food, reasonably priced ,lovely experience
Great roast. Quick service. Friendly staff. We shall return. Thank you!
We love this pub. The food and service is great and having the train for the kids is a bonus! My only criticism is that it’s very inconsistent with gluten free options. Today there was very little on the menu that was gluten free - I was first told that my only option was the lentil and veg pie, so I ordered that. Then the server came to the table and said actually that wasn't gluten free (apparently the lentils had gluten in them - which is quite weird, possibly in the sauce i guess!). They said they could do the fish and chips without the batter, so I settled on that instead. It was still nice but having no choice is disappointing. Still love this pub and will come back (I’ve had some banging GF roast dinners here!), i just hope they consider allergens more when they put menus together in future.
Love the food, love the staff, love the vibe, love trains!
The Holly Tree is a lovely, warm and welcoming place. The food was just brillant and the guests that I invited, were so happy with their evening. The restaurant is clean and beautifully decorated for Christmas. The staff are lovely and very friendly. I would totally recommend this place for good food, drink and ambience. Thanks Holly Tree 🌳
Brilliant, friendly, welcoming staff - as always. Lovely food. What a Pub!
Delicious Sunday roast and friendly service, we will be back
It's a regular favourite for local gatherings and family meals
Sunday roast was excellent!dessert a little small …but it was a lovely few hours 😊
Great local pub with spaced and well kept garden.The Sunday roast was delicious and the staff super friendly
Lovely food and excellent service. Highly recommended. Acoustics quite noisy in the conservatory area, though that may have been the people in there with us.
We had a lovely afternoon. Great atmosphere, tasty food, nice drinks selection and the kids loved the train :)
Had great choice of table. Great staff and la very good Sunday roast with plenty of well cooked vegetables.
One of the best roasts I've had in ages. So tasty and loved by all even my husband who is not a roast fan. We also had a range as one beef, one chicken and one veg - all high quality and the gravy made it. Will definitely be back
