The Unicorn, Ilford

David Walton left this review about The Unicorn

Cask here was two hand pumps providing GK IPA and the St Austell King of the Castle. Keg offering of Stella, San Miguel, Moretti, Neck Oil, Carlsberg, Guinness, Peroni, Aspall, dark fruits SB.

GK venue, with picnic bench seating at the front on a paved area. Inside it is broadly U shaped and bare boarded with the bar counter along the rear wall on a patterned tile skirt. There are some tall stools at discrete points along the bar counter. Seating at the front via tall tables and tall stools immediately in front of the bar counter and then to either side, regular tables and chairs plus some banquettes around the walls. On the left-hand side, the extension houses some pool tables and a dart board with some drinking ledges. The extension beyond the right-hand edge of the bar counter is slightly raised and is carpeted with regular tables served by a mix of regular chairs and the same type of banquettes as around the perimeter in the main part. Screens were showing sporting action in silence, the venue busy and so noise of the punters high but an edging disco soundtrack audible above that din.
