Mill House Social Club: Pool & Snooker in Dagenham, London
Mill House Social Club is an old-school members' social club in Dagenham, going since 1934. It is the kind of place where the pool table sits in the main bar, the pints are cheap and the weekend brings live bands, a disco and bingo. If you want a proper local club rather than a polished bar, this is your sort of room.
The pool table lives in the main bar and is open for members and their guests. It suits a relaxed game over a drink rather than a serious league night, though the club does run a team in the Barking and District Pool League. Annual membership is £50 for the first year, after which the bar, games and entertainment are all open to you.
The pool setup
There is one pool table, set in the main bar rather than a separate games room, so you play alongside the regular crowd. It is casual coin-or-free table pool, fine for a knockabout with friends over a few drinks. The club fields a side in the Barking and District Pool League, so on match nights the table may be in use. Darts is also on offer if the pool is busy. This is a single-table club, so do not expect a row of tables or tournament conditions.
