Bars & Pubs

We were so excited when we discovered Kind Eddie’s in Stratford after moving to Leyton 2 years ago and are very disappointed that the standard has slipped over the last couple of months.
To give an example - they used to do wonderful chips. We couldn’t go there and resist them. Initially they were double or maybe triple cooked... and in duck fat. Not healthy, but so good. Then later they changed and were still rather good but no mention of the duck. Most recently they were completely undercooked, hard in the middle instead of crispy on the outside and wonderfully fluffy inside as they once were. We sent them back and after a considerable delay they were replaced with standard mass produced chips. Thinking it might have been a one off bad day we returned and tried again, they were slightly better but still not as they were.
I don't know what has happened. Has there been a change of management? The bar staff used to be professional and efficient. They seem to have been replaced by inexperienced serving staff who look shabby and dare I say it chavvy. It might be ok to wear tracksuit bottoms if you are the cleaner, but for bar staff?
As far as the other food is concerned, it used to be very good but since they now struggle with the chips we have not dared try it recently. They pride themselves on a changing menu, but each time we look at it the quality of the ingredients seems to be decreasing. They used to do Oysters, now absent from the menu. We once had a burger there that was venison… again I think it is a standard burger now.
I hope they can reverse this trend and get back on track.
