The best restaurants serving British food in Waltham Forest London

Great atmosphere coupled with friendly and warm bar staff. Always polite and helpful. Great beer garden for the summer and warmer days. Darts available and sports on TV for a range of matches.

Walked about 6 miles on a day off work to get here and review, but did not disappoint. Such a cool space, both indoor and out, with friendly staff, great music and interesting and seasonal cask ale. Marvellous! #41 #46

Clean, spacious, airy and a welcome respite from the hordes of tourists just outside. Basic, but in context a real treasure given the location.

Great brunch and lunch spot with a large variety on the menu for vegetarians. Have really enjoyed having Brunch here a few times. The kids menu is also good and they really enjoy visiting.

I went to a fabulous supper club here, beautifully set table, delicious small plates of food and lovely service. The dishes were really creative, master chef standard, I must call out the pumpkin with white bean puree. The supper club setting is a great way to meet locals.

As said in the title I ordered with delivroo and bagels were mouldy and smell really bad it's impossible for them not to realised that they put bagels in mouldy paper containers. This isn't safe at all I might get sick.

What an experience - A six course Latin American taster in a refurbished 1967 Victoria tube train that was amazing. From the unique environment to the authentic food made by the Head chef, Beatriz, who explained her inspiration and heritage for each of the dishes. Each plate was beautifully presented without the pretentious nonsense, layers of flavours and textures, which left you wanting more. Service by our waiter, Chris, also added to the overall experience too, which just made it even more special. Food and drinks flowed with ease throughout the evening, as lasted about 2.5 hours. Easy to get to and parking nearby was free after 6.30pm, so safe walking to and from in the dark.

This is a fabulous, friendly, family owned restaurant. We had a very special birthday dinner for my son Andy’s 40th. Food was delicious, service was excellent and we returned last week to the same quality of service and food. Evie is a little sweetheart for sure. Darren is the Manager and runs a good shop. 🙏

Stayed for three nights. All round excellent. Nice surprise to have breakfast included as well. Very clean, rooms are well appointed and homely. Location and connections excellent for London and local countryside. Would definitely book again. More personal feel than a hotel chains

I ordered fish and chips and a kebab portions were vast ,would have one fish and chips for two people . Curry sauce thick and gloopy, mushy peas ok. Had to construct kebab myself, pitta not cooked and dry foil container with meat salad in a plastic container and two tiny containers of chilli sauce and garlic sauce. They didn’t ask me what sauces I wanted or salad and just gave me it all in a bag even though I was standing there waiting for twenty minutes, so fish and chips good but vast , kebab dry and diy, I don’t live in London so was a bit surprised at £40 bill, I did order medium portions .

Love the place. May be some cookies in the room would be good

Update: October 2024. I recently heard that this place may be closing. My friend thought it was to do with cost of living etc. if that’s the case it’s a real shame for the road and the area. These guys were amongst some of the original businesses to open, and change the character of the area. I hope they are ok and can reinvent themselves and the brand. Been going to this place for years and it really has changed the face of Orford road and been a big part of why the area has come up so much. The breakfast on a w/e is decent. And their Chicken Buirger is ace too. The staff are always friendly.....the only thing to bear in mind is that you might need to book as it get's poretty busy at w/e and busy times.

Proudly old fashioned pub in the Leyton backstreets with a good ale range and a lively but never intimidating weekend atmosphere. A beloved institution among Orient fans

great pub with amazing affordable cocktail options and amazing food, the buttered corn is exceptional, phenomenon chunky chips , excellent cocktails in a jug, and the special double vodka mix was absolutely great too. Staff were warm, welcoming and super chill.

It's not often you come across such dedicated and caring service, and Naresh truly went above and beyond to make our visit memorable. If you dine at Giraffe, I highly recommend asking for Naresh – he'll make your meal exceptional!
