French's Cafe in Havering

A fantastic family run cafe! Always a polite and professional service with quality food!

Lovely food , good service, fantastic hygiene, friendly staff, would thoroughly recommend

Simply delicious breakfasts with good quality ingredients all served by friendly staff.

3 P's.... Perfect food, Perfect Coffee and Perfect service

Over priced cannot fry eggs properly don' take cards don't bother

Family run Cafe, worth frequenting Its a small cafe, tucked on the non-crowded side of Hornchurch high street. Whilst their menu maybe limited, the quality of food served is simply impeccable. One of the local family run businesses where you genuinely feel welcomed and not rushed in any form. The cafe has an old world charm to it, which adds to the cosy ambience within. Food served is fresh and the limited options actually feel right as you know what you want before even stepping in. Always see happy older folks here, which adds to the calm and cosy vibe of this place. Child friendly activities like coloring and card/board games ensures little ones are kept occupied, a win win for all :) Must visit, and an integral part of the local community - hoping this establishment continues to stay here in the ever changing Hornchurch Landscape.

Lovely little cafe food is good really nice staff maybe could pay with card sometimes but that really ain’t a problem Cash is good

The quality of the food was average, the menu is very basic, and there is not a lot to choose from considering they are open for lunch. This cafe caters more for breakfasts and eggs royal type of breakfast / bruch. On the day I visited, there were only two staff members serving to bring food to the tables, clean the tables, take food orders, and payments.

The best fish finger sandwich ever

This little cafe is amazing, my dad Tony lost his wife 18 months ago, and started coming to this cafe and I couldn't be happier for him, he has made some lovely new friends, Mark the owner and his family have made him so welcome, I can't express enough how grateful I am that he found this place , his little social hub which makes him so happy. I should also mention that the food is phenomenal, well done to you all for making your cafe a homely happy welcoming place for the community, I for one truly appreciate the happiness you have brought to my dads life, thank you xx

Love this place. The staff are all so friendly and helpful and the food is always fresh & tasty. Would definitely recommend a visit.

All ways good food and friendly service

Me and my partner have been here a few times, it's such a friendly place, fab service and staff. The jacket potatoes are wonderful and the coffee is worth having too! We will definitely keep coming back.

Quality food, cooked well, served piping hot by friendly staff. Family run business in a cosy cafe, they really do their best to make you feel welcome here.

This is a lovely cafe with great food, coffee and service! Always a very friendly welcome. The best place in town, I thoroughly recommend it.

Lovely popping in for lunch, great food, great service and reasonable prices Best cooked breakfast I have had in any cafe.

I had this cafe recommended to me and after having to fast for a blood test was starving so paid it a visit and really glad I did. The staff were really welcoming and attentative and the food was something else. Cooked perfectly great quality and took me back to my mum's fry ups bless her. There were also articles dotted around inside that were very interesting and again took me back to good old days and gone by with cherished memories. I know it's my first visit here but deffo will not be the last - a true gem in Hornchurch not to be passed by.

The best breakfast anywhere with amazing service and staff!

Top quality food. Amazing staff. Highly recommend!!

Fantastic cafe, Fantastic staff thank you

All day breakfast hits the spot and the Welsh rarebit was the best we’ve eaten. Lovely family run cafe with a great ambiance. Will definitely be returning. Best of all the staff have time for you.

Me and my boyfriend love coming to this cafe every Saturday its become our little routine. We have been coming for the past 8-9 months and we wouldn't go anywhere else. The food and drink are so good, and reasonably priced and we always recommend it to our friends and family! The perfect family run cafe! (Cash only)

Excellent menu options. My husband selected eggs Benedict with a crispy bacon roll on the side and I had the cooked breakfast. All of it was delicious. Good quality sausages and lovely thick bacon. Milk alternatives available on the drinks menu as well.

Visited for a catch up with family for breakfast! All food was amazing and to a high standard, will be back soon!

We have been there today for the first time, it had a nice atmosphere about it, very friendly welcome, food was great, I loved the sprinkles of paprika and fresh herbs on my eggs benedict, I could have done with a bit more hollandaise but this is personal liking - it was still tasty. Perfectly poached egg was nice runny, we defo go there again.

The staff provided a warm welcome, and considering the price paid, the breakfast was satisfactory.

I do go now and again when in Hornchurch , the salt beef bagels are excellent so is there smoke salmon and scrambled eggs prices very good staff as good as you get 😋

Love the food and customer sevice is on point

We go regularly to French's cafe. The food is delicious and Mark and his family really welcoming. Would reccomend to anyone. Steph. and Stan.xx.

We haven't visited this café for quite a while, but we will definitely be returning soon! The food was very good and the staff very friendly and welcoming.

Really nice food and great service

Popped in here yesterday for lunch whilst we were out shopping. Lovely little find, had never been before. I am admittedly a coffee snob, and I have to say their coffee was fab. Lunch was lovely really enjoyed it. There was really relaxing retro style music playing, it was so chill, felt like we could have just sat there chatting for ages. Staff were very nice too. Will be back!

Good food served quickly in my lunch hour leaving ample time to do other jobs Staff nice good value Five stars in anyones book Lived in Hornchurch 50 years often passed it and wondered My first time in July 23 showed me what I had missed! I recommend it fot a quick bite to eat

Always amazing. Food is freshly made, hot and service is great and super friendly. My favourite place to go for breakfast/ brunch in Hornchurch

Nice friendly place .we ordered jacket potato.tuna and chesse.coffeeand tea. Food nice plenty on plate.good varirety on menu.first time been here will go again.all cash no cards.

Popped into French's for lunch. It was busy, but I was served quickly. Ham egg and chips cooked just how I liked it and tasty. A good sized portion as well. There was a good choice on the menu, prices had gone up a little, but that was no surprise due to the excessive charges for energy being forced upon small business's. Still a traditional cafe serving traditional freshly cooked good food. Will return and support them.

Called in yesterday morning with work friends for breakfast as a group of 6. They were rushed of there feet but still managed to smile and be friendly. As always food was to a good standard nothing not to like.

Happened upon this little gem by accident. Friendly staff, serving well presented tasty food at an excellent price. Will definitely visit again.

Been coming here weekly now with work for breakfast, nothing not to like really. Friendly staff food to a good standard and not kept waiting, never got an order wrong. The only small negative is they only take cash which means you have to go to the cash point first.

Fantastic Cafe with beautiful old school decor and a lovely atmosphere. Service is excellent and the menu is very varied. I had the Welsh Rarebit with poached eggs which was amazing.

Hands down the best breakfast in Hornchurch! Perfect tea great coffee excellent service lovely people. 👌

Called in for breakfast while on a break from work, friendly staff good food and service nothing not to like. Only small negative is they only take cash, so had to go to cash point before sitting down.

Absolutely banging cafe real old school reminded me of when I was a kid ...spotlessly clean and very nice ham egg and chips ...would definitely go there again !!!

Called in this morning with my team for breakfast, service was very good, welcoming and friendly. Drinks ordered taken while we waited for one more person to joined us, we wasn’t rushed nor left alone which was nice. Food all arrived together, nicely presented and tasted great. We tried here today as a member of our team told us they were feeding the homeless at Christmas and wanted to support them. This was my first visit but will not be my last nothing not to like, good food, fair price lovely friendly staff.

Love it! Great food, great customer service

Excellent food,excellent staff

Great food and service. Will definitely return

Great breakfast, great service Highly recommend

The staff are soo friendly and helpful. The coffee and food were delicious. Some interior changes since my last visit have certainly improved the cafe. This is my favourite cafe in the area...please give it a visit...it will be worth it.

Was visiting from Yorkshire, friends took me here, pleasant staff and lovely food, would recommend

Lovely family run cafe. Always great food.

I have finally found a cafe that serves real food the best breakfast i have had in years you need to visit French's if you love proper food 👍 Return visit to what I thought was my favorite Cafe !!!!! Very different attitude to customers staff and owner could not be bothered with any customers food was terrible and expensive limited menu no versions allowed on the menu Top tip go elsewhere

this is a very popular local cafe in Hornchurch, so it is often busy. run by Mark French and his family the food is freshly made and the portion size is good. You will wait whilst food is prepared for you but that is ok- you can read a newspaper and have a cuppa while you wait. Great for breakfast or lunch or getting something on the move. It is easy to see why Mark has a number of regulars since the food and service is good and it is a friendly place. But it can run out of choices on a busy day, so make sure you choose your time to eat.

First time ive been to this cafe an i Loved it The food was lovely Really Enjoyed It 😊 Staff are Fantastic an Friendly an Helpful especially to the elderly 😊 Very good social distancing in there too It's very Clean an the price's are good too It is cash only That didn't bother me

We love hanging out. Last night we arrived in this fine place which we didn’t know before. We passed a lovely time there with first-rate food and a nice crew and a talented chef. We added this restaurant in our list and we shall surely go again very soon. Highly recommended.

Good food served by friendly staff.

Food was excellent service was good

Good food at reasonable price + all covid precautions in place

Great place to eat reasonably priced. Covid19 restrictions are adhered to the letter and staff are friendly.

Superb place which has great ambiance, food and lovely family taking care of you

Always a friendly welcome at this cafe. We feel that they are taking all steps to keep their customers safe. The food is good, with a good menu selection and portion size. It is important to support independent local businesses like this.

Stopped in on a wet and miserable day . Was greeted warmly and soon had a nice hot coffee . My husband and I both went for the regular full English , good quality produce , well cooked and no sign of grease. Fantastic value for money - will be back soon !

Great family owned restaurant, good food well worth a visit

A decent place to eat with good social distancing and cleaning of tables and so on. Staff were friendly and the food was good. Standard cafe fair but lots of it and the side salad was fresh.

This place is one of my favorites! Good rates, big dishes and the employees are constantly friendly.

Always a nice place to eat. Polite friendly staff.

amazing food .great music .good prices .great cuppa and spotlessly clean ...I go into frenchies at least once a week now after my partner took me in there ...took my daughter today both of us had breakfast ...top notch ....thanks guys.

Lovely place . Good food right money and great staff

So much more than just a fry up (although there was an option) My Welsh Rarebit was lovely and full of flavour, the Mrs had the Smoked Haddock and Eggs which was cooked to perfection. Cooked to order and served by friendly staff. A popular old school cafe, that delivers on taste, value and service. We'll be back

Very clean and we'll cooked food with friendly staff

I saw in the Recorder you opened on Christmas for the elderly and homeless on Christmas day. This is incredibly kind and generous. Those people would have been extremely happy. You have probably made some people's year. Thank you for caring. Huge respect.

Makes there own bread, if you don’t know what that means you’ll never know.

Nice little cafe shame you don't get a tea/coffee with your full English breakfast

Nice food but stopped going! The staff are not very friendly the lady who cooks the food! Never seen her smile! Must hate the job!!mark the proprietor always looks soapy!! very little effot made to look smart! Could be a lot better

Been coming here for years good food good service brilliant.

Fantastic Food, was extremely helpful and always willing to go the extra mile.

Went here for breakfast this morning with my mum. We're not local and wish we had come sooner. The lovely man who we presumed was the owner was an absolute delight! And the food was awesome!! Definitely filled the gap in our belly's. Would recommend to everyone 😊

Lovely family run cafe. Varied menu and very hot tea.!

Fresh hot and cold food. Good place for main meal or a snack. Value for money.

Good food, freshly prepared. Recommend this family run cafe.

Another great breakfast at French's. Good service and good food what more can you ask. Friendly place to grab a bite to eat.

Nice place, nice food but usually packed with people...

A great day and reasonably priced the bosses don't like more than one device plugged into the house

Always good food here. Friendly staff too

Came here for a coffee and a roll. Super friendly staff. A family run cafe . Food is top quality too.

Great food have to wait as it's freshly prepared. Really nice staff

Always enjoy the meal it has a lovely friendly atmosphere

Lovely food and good service - excellent coffee - can be busy and then interior a little cramped - but the food makes up for all of this. The choice is varied and large.

Enjoyable hour sat outside. Food was good.

Eat in french's this morning with my hubby and two daughters, hubby has dietary needs, GF bread on offer so he was very pleased, myself and our daughters all had a lovely breakfast. Thank you. we will visit again.

A great café with a good choice of food and very friendly staff

Really nice food, great service from welcoming, friendly staff.

Este es un café muy popular local en Hornchurch, así que es a menudo ocupados. Dirigido por la marca francesa y su familia la comida está recién hecha y el tamaño de la porción es buena. Tendrás que esperar mientras la comida está preparada para usted, pero eso está bien, usted puede leer un periódico y tener una taza mientras espera.Excelente para el desayuno o el almuerzo o conseguir algo en movimiento. Es fácil ver por qué marca tiene un gran número de clientes habituales, ya que la comida y el servicio es bueno y es un lugar agradable. Pero puede salir de opciones en un día ajetreado, así que asegúrate de elegir su tiempo para comer.

Lovely food, lovely staff that make you feel welcome and a lovely atmosphere!

En Hornchurch ayer con mi marido y nos fuimos a café francés. Qué sorpresa tan agradable. Mi marido tenía el desayuno cena y no pudo terminar. La porción era tan grande y la comida era encantador! El servicio también era bueno! Volveremos pronto.

Parado para el desayuno mientras esperando una cita una mañana de esta semana. Hornchurch tiene una gran reputación por decente, pero tristemente comer no puedo añadir a la lista. El café estaba limpia y ordenada, con una gran variedad de comida y el personal muy agradable. El café estaba bueno pero el "Inglés" fue decepción por la calidad de los platos servidos. En particular, las salchichas. Estas son insulsos, baratas procesados sin sabor y textura como de cartón empapados. £5. 45 sólo por la fe, estoy seguro de que hay espacio para incluir elementos de mejor calidad. Otro punto malo, fue la de salsas, tanto Red & Brown eran como agua coloreada. Una lástima, en mi opinión. Ahora son cafés propiamente raro en Hornchurch entre las masas de turcos, italianos, indios, establecimientos de pizza y el elegantes cafeterías que llenan la High Street. Este café tiene el potencial de ser tan buena! ! Parece que luego volver a Wetherspoons

If you want a good English breakfast then go here. It has never failed with its fry ups. Like old skool.

We enjoy eating here for breakfast or lunch, The owner always makes us welcome,we would recommend this for a good independent eatery,

I'm not going to tear this café to pieces. In light of the fact that it was apparent that trade appears to be steady, it wouldn't be fair.
