The Room in Waltham Forest

Lovely spot- we pooped in just for a quick lunch. The place is nice and the staff were friendly and helpful. We only had time for a quick lunch but the menu looks good for a lot more and for a good evening meal. The Front room deserved a really good review anyway but I would also like to thank the staff member who chased us down in the street with my daughter’s bag.

Arrived for early lunch. Very busy so best to book. Staff are lovely and the food is fab! We ordered omelette & chips, eggs Benedict and a full English. The omelette was soft & fluffy, the chips were so good. The eggs Benedict had 2 perfectly poached eggs, crisp bacon & lush sauce. The full English was huge! Coffee great too. We can’t wait to return. 100% recommended.

Beautiful sunny August morning. Great atmosphere, busy but still enough seating both indoors and outside. Love the decor, white walls and ceiling with grey stylish seats and bifold patio doors which allows plenty of air circulation on a hot day. The ladies toilets were pristine. We’re greeted by a warm and welcoming young lady about 18/20 who took our drink order. My cappuccino was excellent and really tasted of good quality coffee. I ordered the poached eggs on avocado toast. The sourdough toast was light and crunchy and the 2 poached eggs were perfectly done. It’s rare I am impressed by poached eggs as they can be over cooked, but these were beautiful. There was rocket salad too which I love. I finished every last bite. The young lady and man serving were in demand but were professional, friendly and looked happy to be there. All in all a delightful experience and with the music and sunshine, felt like I was on holiday for a short while. Will definitely be going back as the menu looks varied and delicious.

Had a fantastic lunch in the Front Room this weekend. Great choice on the menu from the most delicious thai dishes to salads and sandwiches and more. Amazing service from Louise and a shout out to Zac for the delicious lunch you cooked for us. The Front Room has a great atmosphere with fantastic staff and always make you feel welcome. Would highly recommend for breakfast/lunch or a drink on the cosy outdoor chairs in the evening.

Ordered food online asked for no sauce as allergic to it and they still put the sauce on after I made it clear it could kill me guess they thought it would be funny

Absolutely shocking behaviour from the bar staff. I was sat at a table with no drink and forced to buy a drink or be kicked out as apparently it “was not allowed to be sat in the venue with no drink”. I find this completely unacceptable as I had my limit of drink for the night yet was forced to go to the bar and buy a drink or be kicked out and end my night with my friends. I find it extremely inappropriate and irresponsible to be forcing customers to buy drinks or leave. The rest of the night was great and the rest of the bar staff were lovely, but the one lady who I assume was manager that night behaved completely inappropriate. No one should be forced to buy a drink especially after being there for the entire night spending over £300 as a group, yet still be threatened to be kicked out for sitting at the table with no drink. The lady is photographed in the pic, if you see her she’s a nasty piece of work.

Have just popped into the front room after a night out up town to watch a show....its right opposite chingford station..was just going to have a couple of coffees but decided to have a breakfast..i had the full english and my wife had the eggs benedict..with bacon..both meals were spot on..my full english was the best i have eaten anywhere..i did not have the hash browns. i dont think they belong on a full english..just my preference.top notch ingredients so a little more expensive but well worth it.ive paid more at a cafe and ended up leaving it foreign cafes cant cook a full english .and my wife said that hers was the best she has had as well..the service was great as well ..so thank you louise for a great brekky we will be back....john and tina

Turned up to what I wanted to be a nice mothers day breakfast for my wife. Two young daughters with us. Left standing at door and everyone ignoring us. Ended up assuming the table with my name spelt Kray on it was ours. No interaction and left us sitting there for 30 mins not even coming over to offer a drink or anything, yet 3 other couples and one family come in and get served straight away. Tried to get attention of waitress and the guy struggling to make a coffee 3 times whilst spilling it trying to put it down. Still no acknowledgment so by this time we decided to get up and leave. Mother’s Day breakfast ruined. They could see us get up and rather than apologise they decided to giggle amoung themselves. That’s what happens when you leave kids in charge.

Would have liked cake as well as tea, but nothing doing and I didn't fancy toast. Still, the tea came in a pot (always nicer), easily enough for 2 cups.

Came here in results night, staff so friendly and polite, great service and experience. Would 100% recommend

I have eaten here several times and it has always been good, but lately it's got even better.. The breakfast is to die for, it's not the cheapest, but if you want cheap go to a greasy spoon, the have a good selection of wine (which my wife drank lots of) and Estrella on tap, which is my favourite, the location is good and the staff are friendly and attentive.. we will definitely be back and I recommend you try

I love this bar and the breakfasts are the best ! The staff always friendly and accomodating. Play good music and always have good amount of gin selections and Fever Tree Tonics - would recommend a visit.

My friend and I came here a few weeks ago with our 1 year old children for an early lunch. We came in and instantly felt like a bit of a problem as we turned up with 2 (well behaved) children. Every time we asked the waitress for something (like a menu) she would literally put on the table and quickly walk off. I must of asked for the kids menu and lunch menu about 3 times. Anyway, we got in at 11:35 and we wanted to order off of the kids menu and they said we couldn't do this til 12, even though the restaurant was completely empty we couldn't place our children’s lunch order until 12. What was we supposed to do with two 1 year olds who want to eat. The only alternative was to order off the adult breakfast menu. The restaurant was empty and the chef can’t have been busy. If I was the manager I would have been furious if my staff didn't apply some discretion. Anyway we went and had a lovely meal in Belgique and that's £45 the front room lost out on and 2 potential customers. We always take our babies out on a Friday for lunch as it’s our one day off a week and we know not to return. Not a child friendly place at all.

Always good for a beer or coffee but food is average and breakfast a little expensive. Very nice friendly staff but toilets very old and dirty that put us off eating here again.....

Went in for a quick BEER but none to be had! Suffered bottled chemicals but got short changed! Wont be back!!

Breakfast is top draw and lunch is better then today found they have a Thai chef in Tues to fri You need to get a table and give it a go really good all round place to visit

Visited for lunch. Nice food but the waitresses are not very friendly and sometimes seem reluctant to work.

Maybe it's a one off but if I was the owner I would want to know.4 of us ladies went for breakfast and all our poached eggs were hard - we sent them back and they returned 15 minutes later with new ones - Obviously we had eaten everything else on our plates. They left our our empty plates on our table for a good half an hour. We asked for a discount and they said they would not charge us for our drinks, but teas and coffees are included anyway !In the end we only paid for 3 instead of 4.Poached eggs should always be served runny, or at least soft.It's a good place to eat so hopefully this is a one off.

Great bar staff during the night time, and the food is exceptional during the day. Friendly atmosphere, would recommend highly.

Mi madre y yo fuimos para el desayuno de mi cumpleaños, la comida era deliciosa y el personal también. Bonita música tocando en el fondo. La comida era deliciosa y me ayudó a que yo pudiera crear la mía, ya que soy vegetariana (sugeriría tal vez tener una opción de desayuno vegetariano también - las salchichas vegetarianas siempre son una delicia).Sin duda volveremos de nuevo. . . Incluso puede probar su cena de la noche tailandesa:)¡Gracias! ! X

¡Si vas a buscar comida, puedes caminar más lejos! La comida es normal en el mejor de los casos y es demasiado caro. Pedí un filete la última vez que entré, que costó casi 16. ¡Casi me reí de lo que me sirvieron! El trozo más pequeño de carne que no se cocinó según lo solicitado (¿por qué preguntar?). El lugar real es agradable si solo estás tomando unas copas (de nuevo, bastante caro). A algunas de las jóvenes que trabajan allí los fines de semana también se les debe decir que sonrían de vez en cuando.

Tenían nuevos propietarios durante casi un año, qué gran trabajo están haciendo.

Went on for breakfast excellent well cooked large portion really recomend staff very friendly pleasent surroudings

Good food, nice atmosphere, good service - well worth a visit for breakfast, brunch or lunch. A friendly place.

staff are the main reason why my experience was poor, they din't have easily understood spoken english, didn't seem to care about the guests, no focused attention to detail nor service, failed to give any info re/satisfaction guarantee, etc. they failed to make arrangerments for the taxi i booked. the in room facilities wee poor and not as modern as others nor as clean. the restauant service was average but the bar service was good especially one individual who 'saved the day' for me.

Very quickly served and good food too. I enjoyed how the beef was prepared here, very succulent

Great food, friendly staff and a really nice atmosphere. Their breakfasts are the best around!
