What a disappointing evening in this pub - again! Twice we've been to this pub in recent months, because the Wetherspoons was closed for a refurb. Twice the pub shut early at 10pm on a Tuesday night. On the website it states closes at 12am. What is frustrating is the staff don't even tell you they are closing early! No notices that I saw stating we close at 10pm - Absolutely ridiculous. We thought the first time may have been a one off - but no. Sorry, but doubt we will be back.

Doesn't have its own car park and street parking difficult - no idea about public transport access. Large space inside with high and low seating to choose from and large staircase to toilets, though thankfully there is a disabled toilet on the ground floor which needs a radar key. Toilet was a bit shabby with a few wet patches on the floor but otherwise clean, spacious and had usual facilities. Drink prices about average.
Visited for Bank Holiday Monday karaoke with a great presenter, Penny. Only a small crowd there so not much atmosphere but it did mean we got to sing a lot!
Wheelchair accessibility: No parking outside so would have to park on the road behind or past the pub. Accessible main entrance and when we went there were bouncers outside who could open the door for you. Disabled toilet on ground floor with radar key behind the bar in case, like me, you can't find yours. There are some ordinary height tables and chairs, though getting between them in a wheelchair might be tricky as they are quite close together and the chairs are heavier armchair type so you might need help getting them out of the way. Plastic pint and half glasses (didn't use any other kind to comment) so lighter to hold.

I popped into Yates?s for the first time since the refurbishment. The place was absolutely filthy! The wooden floors were sticky and the tables similar. The chair fabric was rotten and there were remnants of drinks that appeared to have been thrown upwards on the ceiling.
No food menus, but one chap was tucking into a Subway without any comeback from staff.
I finished my drink and left. I won?t be in a rush to go back. Oh, and I didn?t dare visit the toilets!

The manager's behavior is disgraceful. She doesn't know how to talk to people or treat them. Needs a class of customer decency!

A fantastic stop gap on a pub crawl.
The music on a Saturday night played by a DJ was commercial dance. The drinks were ok and staff were fine too. There are plenty of similar establishments in Romford so there's plenty of choice, and Yates is not a bad option.
Lovely place to have a quick munch as well, also great place at Friday night. Only downside is the music, could have better DJ. Overall it's fine.
We moved on after a couple of drinks, but was well worth the stop.

Got kicked out by owner for no reason even though we showed id. All that we were doing was watching football and then she tried threatening us by saying she will callThe police.
