“A wonderful Irish (ish) pub in the heart of Fried chicken Ilford. Forget the chicken , gently wrap your hand around a genuine pint of G. Lovely pub , wonderful regulars...a win.”

“Jono's is an old school Irish Pub and even has a little cottage inside to prove it!! The pint is very decent indeed and good value. Overheard some good strong Kerry accents in there, so its authentic alright . I am visiting every Irish pub on earth, so see my profile for more”
