Food was mostly the usual pub grub but very good pub grub - a decent portion sizes too. And the dining room looks fabulous!

The pub is lovely, we just live around the corner! But is the second time that we are going for lunch and the food is really average, we tried the burger and the Sunday roast. I think you should work on that . Thanks a lot

A great evening spent in beautiful surroundings. Restored to its fullest glory the Boleyn has never looked so good since being first built. A good size portion of tasty well presented fish and chips. Freshly cooked in open style kitchen by a friendly chief. The table service was excellent the team here are young and vibrant. They are a credit to the group. This will be our first of many visits. We look forward to returning and trying out some more tasty treats from the menus. Food and drink.

The serving staff seemed inexperienced and inappropriately dressed. Poor quality loud music made it hard to have a conversation. Had a drink there previously and was a good atmosphere so disappointed tonight.

So delighted to see this historical elegant gem of a pub reopen. Beautiful refurbishment and lots of space. Great attentive friendly service from the team. The food was really excellent - delicious and nicely presented. Good choice of craft beers & ales. Enjoyed our visit so much that we made plans and booked to return the following week. Great to hear they are also now stocking locally produced Gaslight Gin. Looking forward to our next visit!

Great pub, beautifully refurbished. A good mix of the old locals and new residents in the area. Excellent food, though it’s on the pricier side, everything I’ve had there has been delicious.

We had a pleasant lunch and the staff team were pleasant, if somewhat inexperienced. Our drinks order was wrong. I expect these are simply teething issues. The interiors of the building are lovely, following the extensive restoration.

Overall an ok experience, staff were very unorganised and inexperienced which just made the meal chaotic. Food was nice but alot of the menu was sold out .Only one entrance for customers coming in and out is not ideal .I'm hoping these are just teething problems and will work themselves out . The renovations to this pub are just stunning .

We didn’t have food just drinks but the drinks on the menu need to be improved somewhat. No ‘normal’ bottled lager on sale and when asked for Brooklyn this was warm and served with no glass 🤷‍♀️. Then had to ask 2 people if they had a Pinot Grigio on sale and neither knew. In the end they didn’t so we left very disappointed to say the least. Also after trying all morning to try and amend our booking to be able to bring more people by phone we were told the phone was yet to be connected 🤷‍♀️ We will try again when and if the drinks menu has improved. The lady on the door was very good and welcoming and also the bar manager.

Started off really well with starters and mains coming in good time. However from finishing our mains there was a gap of over 30 minutes before our table was cleared and desert ordered which you had unfortunately run out of. Staff were very helpful offering free ice cream or a drink which we graciously refused. I’m sure just teething problems as first Sunday service. Food was nice, perfect Guinness , great refurb with plenty of West Ham memorabilia for fans.
