Lovely atmosphere and good pint. Met a friend for lunch and food service was fast and grub delicious. Staff were very welcoming.
Always a good beer in the Spotted, unlike the shithole across the road. Nick the manager is a top bloke.
Nice place to be in. Had a gathering two weeks back and got good customer service, good drinks and very good front and rare garden with car park.
Nice place to meet family and friends would recommend, the customer service is fantastic, lovely back and front beer garden and lovely place to be in.
Good place to enjoy a glass full of beer with a nice ambiance and great setup. With ever going classy decor and nice fish and chips on the menu, this place is a big hit just coming out of the tube station. Get out of the station after a day at work and then enjoy a beer before heading home. :)
Spotted dog the only real dog in Barking. From the outside this pub looks like any other pub in Barking, its not until you step through the door that you straight away see how different this pub is. Its set out like an old country pub with a lovely oak bar. The drink choice is not as large as the JDWspoons next door but does have the better drinks. It has all your normal lagers and spirits and for Ale lovers like myself they have Shepherds N Kent's Best and Old wallop on tap.
The Menu is not that large and theres not a massive choice. I went for the rib eye stake and chips and it was the best pub lunch i have had ever!
All the meat is from local farmers too.
Great pub great food and not to busy
The best pub in barking? Probably. Although the spit and sawdust has slowed down over the years losing some of its character and the makeover has lost some of its charm it's still a place in barking where you can escape your surroundings, like the anger of the wether spoons hustle and bustle next door. It is a bit pricey though and the staff are hit and miss, some really friendly and chatty while the others can be a bit pompous, I mean seriously you are still in barking by the way. This isn't Westminster
It's all about the atmosphere at the Barking Dog. Before you even step in, you'll be met by Charlie. He comes with the pub. Charlie is usually blasting unusually good dnb and pop on his speaker, and may offer to suck you off for a fiver. He's truly the heart of this establishment. Now the best area is of course the beer garden. The security tried to kick some guy out because he was slicing salami on a chopping board, until he was offered a piece. The salami was so good that the salami man was pardoned, now that security guard is truly the digestive system of this establishment. The salami was so damn good that the guard proceeded to lift the pub anvil. You should go to the beer garden just to try to lift the anvil, it's a tradition.
I give five stars here to the chef. We took a menu expecting tropical pub food (nothing wrong with that at all) and it had a lot of Indian dishes on it.. we tried them, they were great. Great naan and the jalfrezi was very tasty.
Good friendly traditional local pub.
The manager is friendly and accommodating. We had a party held there for one of our client and the venue, service and food did not disappoint us. Good value for money. I'm so glad we had the party there.
Thank you tother manager and staff.
We have a lovely day.

Nice pub. Lovely atmosphere. Good service and a garden area.
I have used this pub over the years, albeit every now and then. This used to be a somewhat conservative establishment that was renowned for being on the expensive side, despite being virtually next door to a large Wetherspoons. However, it has been under new ownership for the past couple of years and has changed considerably. Prices have been reduced to a sensible level, food is more readily available and the staff seem pleasant, as does the clientele. I particularly like the ''Sea Fury'' real ale they serve and will continue to use this watering hole whenever I am in the Barking vicinity.
Pub is much improved over the past couple of months. Much clean. More seating in the beer garden. Relaxed atmosphere. And excellent food with a variety of Indian dishes and burger meals on the menu. Keep it up
A great experience. Food was pretty good. Atmosphere electric especially for the cup final. I was in a group of 8 people and I must say the regulars here were a great bunch. We all had a great night.
Always have a good time here. Nice regulars, great staff and management are very personable. Doubles up as a mini club downstairs when busy enough.
Well worth a bash if you somehow find yourself in Barking looking for a tipple.
Classic East London pub near the Barking station. Tough working class blokes, okay beers, good Nepalese momos, which worth traveling from West London for.
