Goldengrove (JD Wetherspoon), Stratford, E15

This 'spoons looks very attractive from the outside as someone has gone to a fair amount of effort to provide an impressive floral display. But inside it's much like every other 'spoons. There is the usual mix of tall tables/tall stools and standard dark varnished tables and chairs, with as many of them crammed into the pub space as is possible. There's a bit of a garden at the back. It's perhaps a bit nicer than most 'spoons I've been in, but the usual 'spoons features, good and bad, are all there.

As per the review by John McGraw a by the numbers spoons that does what it says on the tin.

Do not breakfast in this pub. The chef cooks the worst breakfast ever. The hash browns are overcooked and the mushrooms, tomatoes and bacon are served burnt. I normally have scrambled egg on toast but after having their unusual version of lumpy fried eggs that they try to pass as scrambled I have now decided to get mine from McDonalds. Stratfords JDW serves the worst breakfast me and my husband have ever tasted. Try it yourself and see if you dont agree
