The Cranleigh in Havering

As usual an excellent Sunday lunch. Well cooked food and excellent service.

Excellent restaurant with wonderful service. Lovely surroundings.

Have been to the restaurant before and always had a lovely experience, always go for the set menu which is very good value, am amazed that more people do not go there. Its such a shame that it is closing soon.

We recently held our wedding reception. 5 star food. Excellent service. Big thanks to Christine, Lisa & team. Highly recommend

Had a lovely evening. The staff welcomed us warmly. We had Skate which was beautifully cooked and the desserts all looked good but we chose Lemon posset and Mango and Coconut Cheesecake. Will look for those again.

Excellent food and service as usual at the Cranleigh. Dessert options have reduced recently, which is a shame as this was always the highlight of the meal here. This venue will be sorely missed when it closes at the end of the year.

We held our wedding at the Cranleigh in early May, and we highly recommend it. I visited several potential venues before choosing, but the Cranleigh was the only one which inspired confidence. Lisa spent some time with me and, as I had no idea how to start planning a wedding, she guided me, made suggestions and generally helped me through the process with patience and good humour. Christine likewise helped with all sorts of ideas, suggestions and flexibility, and when the big day came around, we could relax knowing that we were in good hands. Things just got done, without us having to worry about a thing. I had heard very positive things about this venue and they were all true. The food is great, the drinks are great, the venue is lovely and the prices are very reasonable for the quality. Many of our guests made very positive comments about the food especially. The staff deserve a special mention, as they were all professional and friendly and so good at what they do. They're a credit to you Christine! In summary, the Cranleigh represents to me the essence of fast-disappearing good old fashioned quality. Like many other customers, I'm very sad that it is due to close in January 2025. We will definitely visit a few more times before then, as it really will be the end of an era when the final day comes. There's nothing quite like it and that's a great shame.

We held our 50th wedding anniversary party at The Cranleigh yesterday and what a fantastic time we all had, it was absolutely faultless. Christine and the team were so helpful, friendly and professional. The food was absolutely fantastic too, we had so many comments from our guests. Our day just couldn’t have been better, thank you so much to all the team. Would most definitely recommend this venue for a meal or any occasion before it sadly closes at the end of the year.

My husband and myself booked our wedding reception at the Cranleigh we roughly had about 50 guests in total. And all I can say is that words can’t express how truly delighted we were with our special evening. From the initial viewing of the room nearly a year ago Christine was amazing right through to the final details of the night every little detail was taken care of with a real passion to make our evening special and that our guests had a brilliant time. The room is beautiful without decoration and you wouldn’t need anything else to decorate the room but I brought in my decorations the day before the big day and the staff set the room up as if it was there own day. When we pulled into the car park Christine gave us a warm greeting and let us have our first look at the room before we greeted our guests and that was a special touch because we got to see everything first. Christine was brilliant at thinking of all the little touches and guided us through the night thinking of all the details we might of missed or forgot. The food was amazing I was worried about timings of food being served but I was talked through it and it all worked perfectly and there was plenty of food for everyone. I had an unusual wedding cake consisting of cheese wheels stacked on top of each other and the Cranleigh set this up for us and organised all the crackers , figs and grapes to go with it. At the end of the evening Christine was packing the left over food away and wrapping up food for our guests to take home with them which was a lovely touch. The Cranleigh recommended our dj for the evening and we wasn’t disappointed the tunes got us all onto the dance floor and everyone had a fantastic time. And lastly I can’t forget to mention the bar and waiting staff who was warm and friendly to us and had a drink ready for me when they saw the me walking to the bar. I can’t recommend this venue enough. Thank you once again from Lee and Chloe x x

Went for an evening meal at this old school restaurant in it's last year of existence. It didn't disappoint. As usual the staff were friendly and very helpful and the food was very good.

We had Sunday lunch here and couldn’t fault it. The ambience, service and food were excellent. Looking forward to going back to this gem of a restaurant!

Dear Christine, We are so grateful for your unwavering support throughout the planning of our wedding at the Cranleigh. Your dedication truly made our day incredibly special, and your guidance was invaluable every step of the way. Your efforts made our day truly unforgettable, and we cannot thank you enough from the depths of our hearts. With all our love, Mr. & Mrs. Reilly

Eight of us celebrating our friend lees 65 birthday .from walking in to leaving we all had a wonderful evening.food was execellent .service excellent.we had salmon .sea bass.lamb. Sea platters.desserts coffee . Been before always a good time. Thankyou.

We booked the Cranleigh for my wife’s 70th birthday party. We had over 100 guests it was a great venue everyone enjoyed themselves. The Buffet was great, good quality food and enough for all our guests. The hosts were helpful in making it a memorable night.

Didn’t realised it was Sunday roast day. But it’s fine. We like roasts. Starter was ok, my husband had prawn cocktails and I had mushroom. Main my husband had pork and I had roast chicken instead of beef. They listen to what I want it and delivered. Parsnip was super nice, but Yorkshire was almost burnt. We had profiteroles for dessert, it was tasteless tho, she said with Bailey chocolate sauce but I can’t taste the Bailey. Service was brilliant and the waitress also happy and chatty.

Thanks Christine an mazingly entertaining evening. Great selection of main course meals and desserts both delicious. Thanks Rob for never allowing my glass to run dry Note to self 'Must get out more often' Great evening👍

My family and I had a wonderful evening recently at The Cranleigh celebrating my Mum's Special Birthday. The venue was lovely; the staff were superb - friendly, professional, and could not have done more to make us feel welcome; the food was outstanding - first class. I would highly recommend and look forward to returning again soon!

Very good, had a fun night with friends at the venue, service was good and food was nice. Hosted very well

We recently had our wedding at the cranleigh, from start to finish Christine was superb & I could not recommend her enough, as a self confessed control freak Christine made me feel totally at ease & everything was how I imagined no question was too silly & everything turned out perfectly, we had a meal on the day that we got married that was superb, the service was great & could not be faulted, we then held our reception the next day, again amazing service amazing food, if you are thinking about The Cranleigh as a venue then you will not be disappointed, also special mention to Joseph, amazing person & makes an amazing margarita, thankyou to Christine, Joseph & the team for making our days so special love Beckie & Matt (:

Management was rude and abrupt and staff were unhelpful. We had paid for a set time and when we had the bill, was charged for longer despite the staff encouraging our extended stay.

A good choice from the festive menu, tasted great, good/friendly service. A great atmosphere. Enjoyed doing the quiz.

Took my Mum for traditional Sunday Roast here but there were many options, this is a great smart traditional setting with very good service. All the staff were great especially Ann and Vanessa, food excellent and so many choices on the sweet trolley (a nice touch) Can't fault this place.

Sunday lunch, food was perfect good portion sizes and great service.

This is the 'go-to-place' for an excellent Sunday lunch. The menu is perfect for a roast and the service impeccable. Vanessa and Ann were friendly and professional serving our meals with the minimum of fuss and just the right amount of casual banter making us feel welcomed. The ambience in the restaurant is relaxed and mellow and we left contented and replete.

Nice relaxed atmosphere and great service. Sunday lunch is a set price with plenty of options, so much more than roast beef. Silver service with everything piping hot. Loved the display of desert examples brought to you on a trolley like a ‘live menu’, from which freshly made treats arrived later. The venue has an old fashioned English feel but is not dated.

We held our Year 6 Leavers Prom at the Cranleigh and it was perfect! The decorations were great, the food was very tasty and appropriate for 11 year olds and the DJ (supplied by the Cranleigh) was fantastic. The team were very good throughout and advised us re the management and safe entrance and exit of over 70 children. The sweetie cone for each child was a lovely little extra. Would recommend.

Me and my husband had a lovely roast pork dinner was so delicious everything was just spot on!! We had 2 lovely lady’s serving us called anne and Vanessa they was both absolutely amazing so friendly and couldn’t do enough for you and the manager was also really lovely (think his name jo) deserts were absolutely amazing I had the cheesecake 😋 …. 10 out of 10 restaurant amazing food and incredible staff with fantastic service! Thank you can’t wait to visit again x

We went to The Cranleigh for my dad’s wake. I have to say that the service, food and staff were all excellent. Whatever we asked for or needed the staff dealt with it immediately. The Cranleigh let me return the following day to settle the...

Great food guaranteed every time! The desert trolley is a great experience! Special shout out to Joe- great, welcoming & nothing is too much trouble!

Truly gorgeous food, booked a table to celebrate my husbands birthday. The starter's were fantastic, my husband had the Garlic Stuffed Mushrooms, and I had the Melon Fantail. Our mains were cooked to perfection & melt in the mouth. And as for desert - 😍

Lovely evening, good service from all members of staff. One of our party needed gluten free food, the staff knew which foods were ok and were happy to check whether the nibbles and chocolates were. The staff were very friendly and even sang happy birthday to my husband and also to another diner. Their desserts came complete with a birthday candle.

LATE review, but as it was such a great evening again , needed to leave a good mention because sometimes restaurants only get the bad and not the good reviews they rightly deserve when they put the effort in to their customers night out! Party...

We had another very nice meal at The Cranleigh (Thursday 30/3/23) and the staff were very good polite and helpful.

I hired the Stanley private dining room for my daughters 8th birthday party, as we needed a smaller space than a hall for 11 girls having a ‘mermaid spa’ session. The staff at the Cranleigh couldn’t have been more helpful. They were attentive, lovely to...

A wonderfully solid and British dining delight. The Cranleigh serves up traditionsl roasts as part of their 3 course set menu on a Sunday and a la carte (I think) on other days. It's a peaceful parlour-room ambience with friendly staff, with a good sense...

We have been going to the this restaurant for the past 26 years and each time we enjoy the food and service. Amazing. This particular time there was a group of 6 near us which was why it was a little noisier understandably.

I cannot express enough thanks to Christine, Lisa and the wonderful team at the Cranleigh for helping us have the most fantastic wedding reception. The advice provided is second to none and ensured we had the perfect night. Drink prices are very reasonable. We regularly...

The food and service were very good indeed. I was in addition pleased that, although we had booked a table for six people, one had for unavoidable reasons to cancel - and two of the remaining five were nearly half an hour late - this caused no problems.

Held my husbands birthday at the Cranleigh, Christine and staff were brilliant . Attention to detail ad organisation were excellent. Had a great time nothing was too much trouble

Overall an enjoyable evening. Good food, good service and pleasant atmosphere. We've eaten at The Cranleigh many times over the years and it never disappoints.

Very well organised buffet meal and bar. Food was hot and fresh . Staff were most attentive to the needs of the host .

The whole dining experience was fantastic, however we were sat on a table next to the kitchen, and at times we all felt like we were sat in Piccadilly Circus as the foot traffic past us was too much. This wouldn’t stop me from returning as the food and service was amazing. I would just request not to be seated next to the kitchen entrance

Great experience all round. Celebrated 80th birthday there with family and friends. Very professional and accommodating. Venue and food lovely.

I attended my aunts funeral gathering on Friday Friday 11th March. Just wanted to say that the staff was amazing and really helped out. I will mention one bar staff in particular called Jill She done ever so well so a big thank you again.

Standard much better than expected.

Attended for Sunday lunch. Have previously been at a function in their banqueting suite and found the food served to be enjoyable. However the Sunday lunch was not up to par. The veg was undercooked and everything tasted similar like had all been cooked in...
