Farm Cafe-A in Havering

We arrived (3 adults) at 12.15 on Good Friday, we were seen by a waitress at 12.30 to order x2 sandwiches, X1 small fried breakfast and three hot drinks. Our drinks arrived at 12.45 which we drank waiting for our food. The food eventually arrived at 1.25, the sandwiches were fine but the small breakfast was burnt. The Black Pudding was burnt on both sides and tough to cut through, the toast was burnt, the sausage was overdone. The menu was impressive but the service was shocking and the food took far too long to arrive. Will not be going back.

Food is fine; although I’ve only been here three times and have only tried their full english breakfasts and omelettes. I’ve seen other people eating from the main items menu, and they seemed to be tucking in okay, so I’ve no doubt that’s okay too. It’s not a bad place to sit and eat, and the staff are friendly - but service can be a bit on the slow side with some reminders to service staff needed at times.

Absolutely fantastic, the food was delicious. Halibut in creamy crayfish sauce, chips and peas. Followed by apple crumble and custard. The prices are good, the only one thing I could find fault was it was a little bit chilly, we were sat near the door.

Went for a birthday lunch, around 15 people and the staff were very attentive. Great food, great atmosphere, great service, nothing too much. Food plentiful and value for money. Would highly recommend, and can’t wait to go back!!

Food excellent, service very good, friendly staff, good value, would recommend, thoroughly enjoyed my lunch. First visit but it won’t be the last !

stunning sunday lunch complete with yorkshire pudding, roast potatoes and excellent veges. a good choice of meats and delicious gravy. one person had the chicken pie instead of sunday roast and said it was very good. nice choice of desserts. staff very friendly and helpful and service good.

Just love this place the menu is so extensive the staff are lovely but the food is amazing with a good GF range as well So popular at times you may have a longer wait but we go knowing it’s well worth it and it’s very keenly priced Their Sunday lunch is fantastic

Exuded to go somewhere different going by the good reviews, followed a couple in, showed to a table, 4 other groups/couples followed 10 minutes after being seated, 15 minutes later couple before and after had been asked their orders and drinks/food were already being brought out. 25 minutes later on going to the counter to ask if my order needed to be given here, I was then informed I was about to be seen…….? 15 minutes later we were served! Menu states Hash BROWNS Only one on the plate, and was overcharged for the coffee also. Quality of the food was very good, customer service very poor.

My wife and I decided to have an ad-hoc lunch and chose This cafe Have to say it was an excellent experience The cafe/restauarant was very busy but after a short wait for a table, we had a very good experience .

I find the staff here very helpful - and good humoured. Six of us sat down and the lady serving us went through the list of 'specials' ...only to be asked to repeat it! As to the food, yes, it is home-style - but well prepared with more than generous portions. I think the place has hit on a winner - providing the kind of dishes people enjoy in a friendly setting.

I have been past Farm Cafe-A on so many occasions but never ventured in which is a shame because this place is a hidden gem. The food is superb and so well priced, the staff are friendly and professional and the atmosphere is really friendly also. With so many cafes in the area it can be difficult to choose but this has to be one of the best. Farm Cafe-A has more of a restaurant feel but that is NOT a bad thing at all and what's even better is they allow dogs inside (as long as they abide by the house rules). A wonderful cafe just outside Upminster and just inside the boundary of the M25. I/We will be back.

So we had been recommended to try Cafe A and I had read some good reviews but when you try a place for the first time it would help if you weren’t completely ignored, Sunday morning a few tables were busy outside but still a few spaces, two ladies clearing the table, didn’t say hello and didn’t say we will be out shortly to take your order, I didn’t know, I presumed after sitting down looking at the menu, that I had to go inside to order as no one re-appeared, so I went inside waited by the till said ready to order, was told no go sit at the table, wait for order to be taken, we’ll we waited and waited not one member with a notepad came out to take our orders, so we just left we had been sat there for a good 20 minutes… I like to support local eateries…I am not important but I am a paying customer so I’ll eat elsewhere!

We have visited a few times and every time has been excellent. Lovely home cooked food, plenty of sandwich and wrap options. Great value for money as well. Very popular and rightly so. Definitely worth a visit.

Excellent, spacious cafe with good food, good portion sizes, friendly service. Just had the home-made Lasagne- excellent. Will be booking for the Carvery next. The Chef here really knows what he’s doing.

Excellent venue with a great atmosphere. The service is great & food is lovely. Plenty of choices from snacks to cooked dinners and is very reasonably priced. It's busy but that's because it's a great place for lunches. There is also plenty of parking.
