The Tea Pot Cafe in Havering

Popped in for lunch. £10 for an absolutely awful Margherita pizza! Frozen pizza but got told only the base is frozen and they add the cheese and tomato and more cheese and more cheese. Took one bite; sent it back, complained and walked out. Bottle of water was nice though and ideal to take away because they don’t give you a glass. In fact they don’t give you a napkin of cutlery either unless you ask for it. With a handful of school kids in there, it seems to me that adults generally steer clear. I have no problem paying £10 and above for a good pizza but that isn’t what they are offering and it was insulting that they actually had the audacity to serve this to someone. I have also attached a photo of what a proper pizza looks like as they obviously don’t know

We usually have a lovely experience here. However, today was below par. We ordered three hot chocolates (one special) and couldn’t find anywhere adequate to sit due to none of the outdoor tables having been cleared. My hot chocolate special was served by a rather rude waitress who didn’t even return my ‘thank you’ with a smile. She also added a few marshmallows with her bare hands. As I said, we usually have a lovely experience here, but today’s service was extremely lacking.

Their was no ketchup at the kitchen door when my American burgers turned up. I was going to order a stake but no peppercorn sauce. The rude women in kitchen shouted her mouth of all because I asked for ketchup and said go to the bar and ask. As bad staff to busy chatting about their weekends the service is a joke and would recommend not to come as quietly of food is very poor and the only people you find are n here are the ones barred from the moon and stars. The staff think it’s their second choice to serve customers. First choice is to chat to each other. Burgers not worth the money but the drugs are cheep in here. Plenty of room to snort your lines over the crap covered toilets. I would rather eat dog than eat in here again 🤪🤔😂😂😂😂 🤔

We ate at 14.30 on Monday, very quiet. I said mushy peas were a bit dry, and the waitress changed them immediately.

Absolutely lovely coffee, really good. Excellent staff too.
