The best restaurants serving British food in Newham London

Under staffed and staffed by underskilled. Waited 12 minutes to be server in a bar with 10 people in, while 2 or the 3 people working, collected glasses. Only then to be told that we were waiting at the wrong part of the unmarked and unattended bar. There are many more friendlier and more attractive venues to frequent in Tooting. Try the Castle or Cocktails in the Broadway Market for a friendly smile and helpful, attentive staff.

I usually visit for a quick takeaway breakfast which is fine. However today I was off work and decided to have a sit down breakfast. There was a lady who served me that didn’t speak English too well. I got my breakfast and there was hardly any beans on my plate. I asked if something could be done she just looked at me n said no that’s how it comes if you will like more £1.50. I was just disappointed at the whole service. I had to request my coffee after almost eaten most of my food as I was not given any tea or coffee which the set menu comes with. Usually the men who take orders (who are the owners I believe ) are really nice.

Absolute shocker. Staff overwhelmed and chaotic. Given my pastry then got it snatched back,, then returned to me.People being given drinks before me who had paid way after. Staff useless. Worst dump ever. Almost missed my train and had to leave without my drink. THE worst place I've ever been ripped off in. NEVER AGAIN. POOR

Went for a drink and some lunch after going to the F1 Exhibition at the ExCel centre. Had to wait a little while to be seated but once there our order was taken quickly. We ordered a pizza to share, garlic bread and chips. Food came out quite quickly and the pizza was lovely. Unfortunately the chips were a little cold. These were exchanged quickly with an apology. Overall the food was lovely but it was cold in the restaurant/pub. Bar staff were friendly and helpful. We would be back if we r in the area again.

Metimos en un bocado para comer con mi pareja, aunque el menú es limitado, lo que hay es bueno, el personal es excelente y muy acogedor. El lugar tiene un ambiente muy agradable, perfecto para una bebida tranquila y algo para picar. La decoración es muy suave, que es un cambio agradable para un pub. Las tapas es muy recomendable. Para simplemente una copa con los amigos o con la pareja.

Very pleasant when it's not busy

Called in on the off chance to see if they did Sunday lunch. Was left standing at the bar for ages as the bar staff appeared not to notice me. Eventually got served but had to actually yell my order, the music was so loud. There was no draught ale available at all. The roast lamb arrived in good time, though, and was tasty enough. However, if the noisy music wasn't bad enough, people (including the bar staff!) were smoking right outside the open door and the whole bar reeked of cigarettes. Unlikely to go back.

The Ruskin Arms offers good value for the business traveler - rooms are spacious and have good WiFi and the hotel has secure parking.

I am currently staying in Stratford with a friend and was introduced to Giraffe restaurant by her, the food was great and the service was even better. I would definitely go back here! I would recommend the Halloumi and falafel burger, delicious.

OK so there was a few events going on at the Excel centre any maybe the staff were rushed but that’s no excuse for what can only be described as the worst chicken sandwich in the world. One thick tomato slice, chicken that had zero flavour and over cooked. A slice of onion as an after thought. I would put a quarantine sign around this place it’s that bad. Staff are OK but the owner / manager needs to look at the quality of the food being served especially at the extortionate prices they are charging. If it’s a choice of staying hungry or eating here stay hunger. It’s the safer choice. Avoid at all costs and look for something else.
