The best restaurants serving British food in Havering London

Went back last week and the door was closed and the carpark blocked I do hope its a refurbishment of the pub and not a closure because this is a great place to be.

Probably the worst Restuarant iv ever visited, dreadful service , limited food menu , overpriced food , we skipped the main as just couldn’t stomach it after the starters were so awful. On a plus, the drinks come up nice. Never ever will I visit again , just plain awful

Amazing Italian Pancakes here, highly recommend. Lovely clean and comfortable cafe. A shout out to the lovely Linda, my waitress, She’s a credit to the cafe, I hope the owners appreciate how warm and welcoming she is. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Gingham Kitchen.

Fantastic service from the team, AJ was a legend!

Jill was fab.food was nice. The food was lovely. There were lots of selections of meat not too much for vegans, but I really enjoyed the apple pie and custard.

It has drastically changed. We are regulars however the constant change in chefs not only changed the menu but changed the expectations especially of the regular comers.

We had the wake for my father's funeral here a few weeks ago and we really wanted to leave a review. The whole thing was excellent, from the day we first arranged it right through to the day itself. Everyone was helpful, nothing was too much trouble and the staff were very polite and respectful. There was plenty of space and ample food, all of which was extremely tasty, everyone said the same. Thank you to everyone who was invovled from the Hunstmans, we felt like everything was under control, which allowed us to celebrate my father's life with friends and family. We wouldn't hesitate to recommend you. Thank you, Alex Blaauw and Family

I took my son here for a birthday lunch . We ordered our food and when the waiter brought the food out he noticed the birthday card and badge on the table . After finishing our food which was cooked beautifully we ordered dessert. Our waiter brought out a candle and we all sang happy birthday to him . It really made his day abit more special and memorable. I’m gutted I didn’t catch his name so I can give him the shout out he deserve s. Will absolutely be returning fantastic members of staff !

Lovely place, friendly staff. I had the gluten free and dairy pancakes with bacon and maple syrup. It was tasty but the pancakes were stodgy and weren't cooked in the middle, such a shame.

I went with 2 friends for the afternoon tea, the food was lovely, you were given a choice of sandwiches which were then cut up for you to share. We were given sausage rolls, also cakes and a scone with jam and cream. The food was very fresh and tasted delicious. Tea or filter coffee was included We also had a gluten free platter, which had just as much choice. I would recommend for a lovely afternoon tea, or a normal lunch . The staff were very friendly and the food was exactly how we wanted it

Arrived at 3.30pm and restaurant still had people in but could see staff looked liked they were packing up. Ordered tuna melt and 2 teas price outrageous just under £20! Food arrived had to send back as was semi cold staff didnt seem to care. Food came back warm. During our time in restaurant could here an argument in the kitchen and heard "what they expect to come in here at 4 and then complain" obvious was talking about us as they pointed and looked in our direction. When we left I said have you a problem ? They looked sheepish and said if you want to slag your customers off maybe do it quietly and dont point at us when someone asks who you were talking about and get your facts right we did not complain - would you eat semi hot food. No. They did say sorry just had busy day said no excuse. Wont be visiting again.

Sorry to say that MadDog is more than a little disappointed after eating here last week. My No2 breakfast is just as good as ever, but............... ........£12 for a breakfast is in MadDogs opinion just a bit too much. Good hot and filling, yes, but this is a cafe and you don't even get a drink with it! Every where else can do an equivalent with a tea or coffee or a poured soft drink. Think like the pub chains locally that offer a buffet with cereals ,fruit, yoghurt and juices. unlimited hot drinks all for £10-99. MadDog reviewed The Puddle in 2019 and the same breakfast was £6-50, so you do the maths here. The lunch items seem to have risen in price much slower and to a much lesser degree. MadDog likes going to the Puddle, but fears it will soon be too expensive so, only three blobs this time.. MadDog says don't be tight with the drinks!!

Mrs MadDog says she's going to treat me here at AL's/Roys as it's been a long while?? So after the shock of what I thought she meant we sit down for Double Pie , Double Mash and liquor(£10). Price is reasonable when you are paying £12 for a kebab ,and you don't get a table to sit at, or a nice lady to serve it. Also P and M comes on a plate. Excellent Pie and Mash here further enhanced by chili vinegar and a touch of white pepper. Worthy of note is the pastry used by Al's which is probably the best ever on a pie, slightly crisp, flakey and good flavour.. MadDog has made a lot of pastry in his long career, but can't compete with this 'Clacker', well done everyone!! MadDog says 'Proper Grub'.

So sad that the old team has gone. They served the best fish and chips for years using quality ingredients and with super friendly service. Now things have changed. Service nowhere near as good. Fish is much smaller and poorer quality. It’s thinner and the batter is often soggy. Chips are ok, but we are going to look elsewhere from now on.

This bakery is very nice so much cakes and bread selection and just taste the best and loads of fillings selection for the baguettes and sandwiches and a hug portion very good
