The Shepherd and Dog – Romfordchicken donna was horrible chips were naf bbq chicken was deep fried chicken and they didn't even supply a sauce i did have a ok burger not worth the money
UK Fish Bar – WithamMy friends and I had a great lunch here today. The chef chatted and told us a bit of his background. We were pleased to hear that he has employed local youngsters as waiting staff, who I am sure will do really well. Good luck to them all. The food and service was excellent.
The Shepherd and Dog – RomfordDined here twice now, food ok, the smoked salmon starter I had with sprinkles of nuts and seeds plus I could taste sugar-yuk. They would be better to keep food simple rather than try to be something they are not. Staff are inexperienced as previous review says, being taught how to serve customers from the right and not across the table would be a start. Food was tasty. Finally, I expect to finish a meal in a nice restaurant with a cup of coffee, not an oversized kitchen mug.
The Shepherd and Dog – RomfordRecently visited this brand new restaurant and was very impressed with the decor and most of all the food .Very good value for the quality of food served.the only real criticism would be that the staff were mostly very young and inexperienced and were not very knowledgeable about any of the food or drink being served.Having said all that it would not put me off going again as the Chef who came and spoke to us seemed very professional and new what he was talking about and I'm sure he will get it right in time.
The Shepherd and Dog – RomfordI have been a regular diner at the Kushoom Burgh for the past 15 years under the same management during this period, There is not a better Indian in the Romford,Hornchurch,Upminster area the quality of the food is excellent with flavours not often found in other Indian Restaurants. The decor is smart traditional with a relaxed atmosphere well worth a visit.(try the Saga Chicken Starter )
Kushoom Bugh Restaurant – Upminstervery polite staff ,fast service , fantastic food great prices
Chilli Tree – Hornchurchlovely food and very good atmosphere.
Shanghai Buffet – Romfordhad the Xmas deal 2 courses for 9.95. Very small portions...2 small roast potatoes for a xmas dinner. I'm a tiny person and not a big eater but felt they could have given 3 or even 4 spuds!!
Mawney Arms – RomfordTERRIBLE!
The Queens Arms – Waltham AbbeyHad a fantastic meal with friendly staff and great food. Top class service. Thankyou 5 star
The Mogul – OngarWent to wildwood at half 1 on a Thursday lunchtime, the setting is great and the restaurant looked nice, unfortunately that's all the positives I have to give! We were shown to a table quickly enough but then we sat there for 25 mins before someone remembered we were there. Our order was taken and the drinks arrived promptly with an apology, then the wait for the food begun which is even worse when one is agitated and hungry! Eventually it arrived after 20 mins (for 2 cheeseburgers, the restaurant was not even 20 full and we were the only table that was not eating!). The food is average at best and thus making it overpriced. Then there was THE cardinal sin placed upon me, a hair in my food. Needless to say I won't be returning and will be advising anybody to do the same!
Wildwood – ChelmsfordFantastic, fresh and delicious food. very good quality and amazing presentation! highly recommend! x
The Angel and Harp – DunmowI LOVE MARINA'S..!!! you rock..!!! =)
Marina Fish Bar – DagenhamMe and my son severely disappointed with the service form cherry leaf today (the cherry leaf staff are great) but today two individuals of cherry leaf severely i order came without the ordered rice upon pickup so we phoned up and they where great again and said we would deliver it. 30 minutes later we rang and apparently the knocked for about 5 minutes but no answer our living room door was open and right next to the front door, so he rudely attempted to dismiss us and wouldn't apologies at least after free of charge i had delivered 150 leaflets for the (normally) lovely cherry leaf staff two of which where not present where as they would have apologized and worked the situation out. THEREFORE I THOUGH AFTER Y MEAL WAS COLD THAT I WOULD EXPRESS MY OPINION (IM NOT ONE OF THOSE PEOPLE WHO SPENDS THERE LIFE COMPLAINING ON THESE WEBSITES)
The Cherry Leaf – BenfleetJust had fish and chips for Three people at a cost of £17! Fish was dry chips cold and also dry, so at that price and quality I won't be returning
