Scrums in Havering

A popular local place to eat breakfast or lunch

Great cafe for breakfast. Had the small breakfast- nice sausage and bacon and perfect fried egg. Good coffee. Nice service.

Really great selection of brunch/ lunch dishes such as bagels, paninis etc. Not only is the food delicious but also has really lovely presentation and portion size. Staff super friendly and welcoming.

I visited in the morning after having a fasting blood test at the health centre opposite. The food (scrambled egg on toast) was lovely and fresh, but also a very large portion! As it has a bakery as well, there is a fairly good selection of cakes, bread and rolls.

Oooo if you live local then you must have been here, if not why not :) great selection of food & very friendly 😋

A good, old fashioned cafe/ bakery. The service is excellent and the food is traditional and hearty. A perfect place for lunch or brunch.

We had brunch here today with our grandson and he had the vegan breakfast which he said that it was delicious and was one of the best he'd had

Absolutely the worst coffee I have ever had. Dark brown water served in a paper cup despite drinking in and it was completely undrinkable. Didn't eat there, but the bakery looked good. Nice enough staff.

Over priced, service varies too much

Not a lot of filling in rolls .Pastry hardly anything in it all pastry and not a lot of anything else. Sausages disgusting. Disappointed . Better of at Greggs or Preston’s village. You get more for the money.

Quality sandwiches, good value. Fresh bread, which they have baked in their own bakery apparently. Good service.

5 stars all the way. Bread is top notch. Pasties are the best I’ve tasted in a long while.

Lovely bakery food is always nice staff very friendly good service waitress very good ⚘

Gave this place 6 chances to prove to me that my skin colour was not the reason for the poor service. It was ...

Had their big breakfast. Food was better quality than most cafés, would certainly come here again when in the area. Reasonably priced too

The food was excellent service okay

Food is very nice but its very slow service!

Brilliant customer service and fantastic food

You can tell a good cafe by their sausage, and scrums do good sausage!! The rest of the breakfast complimented it. Highly recommend

Absolutely delicious this place

Fantastic availability and choice, eat in or take away

A serious passion for home cooked, creative food nestled with the tradesmen's favourites, make this a gem straddling between builders cafe and junior bistro. Recommended are the Jerk Chicken, Tikka Masala and, my favourite, the minted Lamb roll. A huge rangeof burgers, loaded fries and toasties will leave even the most particular palate craving a return visit. Inexpensive with generous portions...what more could you want?

Best bacon sandwich in the world. Twice I've sat down, ordered a coffee and sandwich only for them to remember the coffee and forget the food. Next time maybe I will forget to pay

Great little snack joint! - Can get busy at lunch, for good reason

Had 2 cooked breakfasts yesterday (4th) both were delicious & served quickly. Staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient.

Someone I know often buys a roll from here but she noticed that none of the staff wear gloves when handling the rolls. One staff member scratched their nose and touched their hair in front of her before taking the roll from the rack and handing it to her. She would appreciate it if the staff paid more attention to hygiene.

Friendly staff and lovely food.

Easily one of the best places to eat breakfast or lunch in Cranham / Upminster. Staff superb too!

Great local bakery, slow service at times due to busyness and queues but great food.

Good food (eating in breakfast). Cakes are great!

I only go here to buy bread. I don't use the cafe part of the business. I highly recommend the bread I think It's the best in the area.. The cafe is very busy and occasionally the customers who just wish to buy bread have to wait until the staff have served the cafe orders before being which can be frustrating if you just pop in for a loaf

Lovely coffee and cake with good service.

Brilliant service great food quality and very clean venue

The best cafe in Essex. Really sets the standard, good food, good ingredients and good staff. Couldn't be better.

Great little find. Worth the bus ride to Cranham

Very bad experience today with this Caffe I will not recommend at all. I was waiting for my order 30 minutes and after that they said forget to do it. I used to eat my lunch daily there but from today definitely no!!! Very desspionted!!!

So I ordered veggie breakfast, and personally I don't think it was worth nr on £8. Misunderstanding regarding sausages I got meat one & I'm a veggie. Eggs slimy could done with bit more cooking. Left quite bit of it. Same breakfast at Elm pk , £7 and u get more for your money.

I absolutely adore this cafe, and judging by the constant stream of customers I’m clearly not the only one! Super friendly staff and a great range of food for a quick breakfast or lunch. We had the vegan breakfasts which were super delicious and filling. The coffee was also just the way I like it!

Fast friendly service clean and tidy premises

Very friendly and good service fresh cooked breakfast well recommended

Delicious big breakfast and coffee! Just under £9. Great quality produce. Very busy! Friendly staff. Huge selection of goodies with pastries and pasties! Fresh bread also sold. I wanted to try everything!

Lovely bakery / cafe very friendly staff

Went a few days ago, music bit too loud for me, I couldn't even eat all my cake too distracting. But the staff were kind and accomodating.

Had a fab breakfast here and the service was lovely, all the women were really friendly and welcoming and the service was really fast too! We will be back again to try more on the menu as there was a good selection to choose from. Really good value for money as it was good quality food.

Really nice food at a reasonable price.

Lovely food beautifully presented so friendly

Absolutely lovely very friendly staff the chef 👩‍🍳 a really good cook tasty food and a real lovely atmosphere in there

Coffee is awful and overpriced. Food is average. Don't bother with the breakfast

Go there every week best breakfast in the area buy far.

Fantastic little eatery! The food was nice and fresh, the atmosphere was inviting and the service was friendly and fast. Will certainly be visiting again!

Great veggie breakfast. Good cafe

Food was ok, but found staff to be a little rude... young girl taking the order looked like she had the hump, no friendliness about her, and young lad who brought us our food plonked it on the table, no enjoy your food, can I get you anything else, etc... then when coming to pay again no politeness, and no please and thank you. Simple manners cost nothing. Will not eat here again.

Lovely friendly staff and always with a smile. Food was very nice. Bread and cakes are delicious. Will be going back.

Rude staff and bacon sandwich tasted like a rotting old flannel. Used to really like Scrums when we first moved to the area a few years ago - staff always seemed nice. One afternoon last year I went in and had a really unpleasant experience with one of the ladies on the till. She was very rude. Thought we would give it one last go recently, we got some bacon sandwiches to take away. Ate it straight away in the car as we were on our way out. It was horrible! The bacon tasted like a rotten old flannel in some bread it was gross! That is it for us now sticking to Preston’s up the road!

Good range of bakery items and you can also eat in.

Lovely staff and nice quality food.

Great value, great service, great food. I go in every Friday for my lunch and I'm never disappointed. Wonderful.

A lot of noise from crying babies and speakers do not make a relaxing atmosphere. Food okay, comes up quickly and service is good.

Nice breakfast a bit basic and quiet expensive if you add extras

Excellent value for money. Courteous and prompt service.

Great little place for breakfast, smashed Avacdo toast is excellent. Had Eggs Benedict today, really tasty.

Lovely local bakery. Friendly staff.

Very aware of covid restrictions. Food, drink and staff perfect

Not bad. Covid prepared very well. Unfortunately the food I had was lacking much flavour. Quite a bland meal.

A nice warm welcome from everyone working there. Great selection of food and very quick service. Social distancing and sanitisation in place. First time eating there today will definitly be returning!. Highly recommend.

Scrums is always a 5 star experience. Food us always fabulous and staff are always happy and helpful. Keep up the excellent work ladies x

Always great enjoy my time here. Food is delicious and clean. Staff always smiling

Friendly staff, covid safe, plenty of parking available

Really good cafe, breakfast was excellent with good quality produce used. Had a Scrums breakfast for £6.80 and it came with two sausages, two bacon, 2 eggs, beans, toast and tea. Good portions and very filling. Staff were very efficient and polite. Well done and I will come again!!!

Great quality food with tasty breakfast ingredients. Good surroundings better than your run of the mill greasy spoon. Very helpful and friendly people there.

I like that the staff are friendly and while the hot menu isn't huge, what they do have is well made and delicious

lovely place the staff was very nice and helpful and the food was nice

Lovely local bakery and cafe mixed in one. Great food in a lovely atmosphere and with reasonable prices to boot.

Good value for money quick food cafe. Staff efficient .

The staff were helpful, polite and attentive. The food was great and the ambience very nice. Only negative point, being the customers coming to take away, repeatedly leaving the door open - auto-closer may solve this. The prices were a little higher than other café. However I will say, you get what you pay for and the quality of the breakfast was excellent.

Nice bakery but the girl that served me today was very rude and stroppy. Shame because the staff are normally friendly.

Excellent bread and their Scrum's breakfast is a treat.

My favourite cafe in the area. Love the atmosphere in here

Lovely local business providing a cosy and welcoming environment that's perfect for meeting up with friends.

Assistant didn't know what an Americano was, then it tasted like dishwater.

What a little gold mine! Friendly, approachable staff, delicious food and fantastic value for money. Really really impressed with this bakery. Scrums is so much bigger inside and the selection of food is vast. Thoroughly enjoyed my visit and will definitely be returning.

Very nice independent coffee shop/cafe. I wish there were more places like this around.

Great friendly staff, lovely hearty food - everything is so fresh, never feel rushed no matter how busy they are.

This place is brilliant. I come here first thing every Saturday morning for a bacon sandwich and a latte. Yeaterday I had scrambled eggs and a latte. Service superb, quality was perfect and was £6 for the trouble. Could not recommend this place enough.

Lovely place.. friendly staff.. good food. Lots of selection of cakes.

Great food and staff are friendly. Good value for money. Brilliant now with table service after the new recent refurb.

Great breakfast and coffee. My new favourite place!

I love this place service very good and excellent choice on the menu food is delicious highly recommend this place

I love this place especially after the recent refurb. Now has table service, the staff are lovely and prices are good and most important the food is great.

Lovely food as ever. We had the cooked breakfast today. Friendly staff. Great bakers and sandwich bar.

Lovely place to go eat quality food & friendly staff.

Haven't been their for a while.

Very basic bakery, nothing unique or special

Only been once. nice place and lovely food

Friendly staff And great food at low prices

Amazing bakery, pastries and cakes were delicious

Great place for a lovely breakfast or lunch. Beautifully refurbished. Staff very friendly and efficient.

Fantastic family run café. Love their breakfasts and jacket potatoes.

Staff disinterested. Poor service. Cleaning needed. A shame. Warm cold drinks. Dirty glasses. Tables needed cleaning.

Visited for a quick lunch. Unclear what was on offer - menus on the tables, but you have to queue up. Staff not particularly friendly, or helpful. Food was okay. Coffee was good.
