About Goldengrove
No-frills Wetherspoon pub named after Gerard Manley Hopkins, the Victorian poet who was born nearby.
An early Wetherspoon having opened in 1993, it takes the name Goldengrove from the poem Spring and Fall, by Gerard Manley Hopkins. The highly acclaimed Victorian poet was born in Stratford in 1844.
Has a fairly small bar area and larger seating areas to the side and rear. Quite large, newly extended beer garden. Near to Westfield and the shopping centre, it can be very busy here all day. Particularly busy on West Ham match days.

Such a happy atmosphere! Even the bouncers are smiling and having fun! That's a good sign. Such good beers on tap when I was there. Large place but fills up fast when it gets busy. Lots of tills but there's one near the TV that only accepts cards and is usually much shorter. Food looks good even though I haven't tried it. Staff works hard and kind through the busyness 🫶🏼

I had the bangers and mash with a craft beer for under a tenner. Service was really slow at the bar, so I found a table and ordered off the app. Very nice beer, but the meal was below average. I've had bangers and mash before at a spoons, but this one was too dry spoiling the mash. Good atmosphere in the garden and inside, though.

Busy pub with lots of outdoor seating. Service was slow but the food was good. Our meals took about 25 minutes to arrive. Plates were hot & we enjoyed our food. Pub is a 15 minute walk from the shopping mall & international train station. Had problems ordering our drinks again on the Spoons app. Been happening a lot lately. Prices were good considering the location. Not one I would rush back to though.

The worst food ever! The steak is over cook! The potato mash chips and chicken wing's is cold , papercorn sauce is cold ! Most of the table has no waitress to cleaning ! I have been many weatherspoon restaurant before,and all was so well food is good service was great but this time in Stratford weather spoon restaurant is the worst and ever! Staff and chef need to be training again!

The service was bad, as we received our food after an extensive wait of 30 minutes and were compelled to approach the bar to inquire about our our beverages. So we went to the bar, the guy with long hair emphasized their is a a wait time, despite the fact that we had already received our food. I informed the the guy that it had been nearly an hour since we placed our order so not sure what he was on about. Surprisingly, he requested the receipt, which he should have been able to access through their system. Regrettably, no apology was offered for the inconvenience caused. Would have been…
