The Goose, Romford

I’m not a big fan of this pub Company’s outlets, but this one was much better than I have previously encountered – even though the Guinness was below par. There are three hand pumps with Greene King IPA, Bombardier and Marstons EPA all being available during my recent weekday visit. There is also a wide selection of standard lagers on offer from the vast array of draught taps. There is a bit of a Wetherspoons feel with lots of deals on cheap food and the beer is priced reasonably. A plasma screen was being installed at the rear of the pub for the World Cup, but there is no Sky Sports and I imagine the plasma will be taken down after the football has finished. There is a nice sized beer garden out the back that has some covered and uncovered seating and also a hut which may be used as a BBQ or maybe for serving bottles on busy hot summer days. I wouldn’t go out of my way to drink here again as it is quite bland, but it is in a handy location across the road from Romford Rail Station.
