Authentic dining in Welling

“I had a great time at Eagle Public House on Sunday! The food was delicious, the staff was friendly, and the atmosphere was cozy. I highly recommend trying the sunday roast. I’ll definitely be back!”

“Bring your own alcohol can help with choice and final bill. The food is lovely and they have some unusual dishes. A lovely old building. Loo a bit tight. Stairs steep. Watch your head.”

“A basic self serve canteen offering delicious, home-style Indian food. The staff are exceedingly friendly. The food is excellent and the value is unbeatable especially for central London. Don’t over order as the portions are very generous.”

“The food tasted very good, just as we wanted! The service and entertainment was very friendly! The whole environment felt the atmosphere of the house all the time! Sanuk is the best for those who want to spend some time in silence! Staff will get 10 on 10 from me! I am very happy, came twice, hope to come again!!”

“Very friendly and helpful staff, food is amazing with a wide variety in a nice setting. Will be visiting again and recommending to friends.”

“I’ve been to Ask Italian Bluewater a few times now and have always enjoyed their consistent quality of Italian cuisine upon each visit. The staff are very welcoming, friendly, attentive, and helpful which inspires a calming atmosphere amidst the hustle and bustle of Bluewater shopping centre. The food is well made with clean tasting flavours and a healthy variety of options. I recommend the newly improved Lasagne Grande and, if you’re in need of a little spice, ask for some chilli infused olive oil to pour on top. I’ve been craving this ever since trying it a few days ago! Of course, you cannot go wrong with their tiramisu for dessert although all their desserts are uniquely Italian rather than generic in both their flavour and plating style. Overall there is something for everyone to enjoy and I highly recommend a visit!”

“We were recommended to them by friends. Really pleasantly surprised. Friendly lady took our order and it was correct. Food was still hot when got it home twenty mins later. We will probably get delivery next time. The food was delicious and this is why...in our opinion...it was not sitting in lots of sauces (each dish) it was not soggy. It was not full of monosodium glutamate. So, food tasted good and we were thirsty all night! Noodles, beansprouts and meat was crispier and not covered in sauces. Food was good portion sizes and under £20 for four dishes. Finally, premises looked clean and they are rated well for cleanliness.”

“Joy King Lau has established itself as our reliable culinary favourite in Central London. While the dim sum here is genuinely top-tier—the food is amazing and always leaves us delighted—what truly transforms this restaurant into an institution is the exceptional, personalized service. We come here all the time, and every visit feels special thanks to the incredible team. In particular, we want to recognize Jia and Ahan. These two fantastic waiters treat us so well, making us feel instantly welcome the moment we step through the door. Jia is always so personable and attentive, handling a busy dining room with grace while still making sure our table is perfectly looked after. Ahan is equally brilliant—professional, quick, and always ready with a smile. Their dedication ensures a smooth, relaxing, and enjoyable experience every single time. As for the cuisine, the execution is flawless. The dim sum is fresh, flavourful, and consistently the best we've found. From the delicate steamed buns to the crispy fried selections, this is a kitchen operating at peak performance. If you’re looking for a Central London dim sum spot that excels in both taste and hospitality, look no further. Thank you, Joy King Lau, Jia, and Ahan, for being our reliable haven!”

“Really delicious food, great portion sizes and really friendly delivery driver!”

“Although it was a weekday the restaurant was very busy. The tables are close together but we felt we had our own 'space'. The food was delicious, staff very pleasant & we would recommend them. Definitely visit again.”

“Popped in with my family earlier this evening. Portions were big, food wasnt greasy, great customer service. They do chinese chips, you know the chunky chips my kids love them. Overall a great experience we will be back again.”

“Great Asian grocery store — clean, well-stocked, and fairly priced. Has everything from sauces to frozen goods to snacks. Friendly staff, no hassle. A go-to if you want authentic ingredients.”

“What a welcomed surprise at the Founders Arms. My mom and I took our first trip from the sunshine of Florida to a late November cold winter visit to London. We were so blessed to have stumbled upon this amazing place while on a personal walking tour with a friend who lives in London walking from Buckingham Palace to see the Change of Guard, to Big Ben and now across the Thames to this part of town. Neither she or her colleagues have ever visited this Pub so it was a first time for everyone. We immediately walked in from the bitter cold and were greeted with warmth and hospitality. Once our party of 3 were sat down, we had had a prime spot away from the crowded bar and middle tables and were placed closer to the back area. This was ideal because we had a river view of the Thames that opened up to a postcard picture of the city with people walking by on the outside. Not only did we get placed in a great spot, our server OLLIE was a complete gem. His service was impeccable, thoughtful and genuine. He also made us feel welcomed and not as tourists. He laughed with us and gave us some inside information on other things to see and do around Borough Market. The menu was all Gluten Free and that worked perfect for my friend’s dietary needs. What also worked was that my mom and I wanted to experience our first Pub meal of the famous “Fish and Chips.” We knew London was famous and well known for this simple meal, but when it arrived at our table, we were shocked that this was like a King/Queen sized meal that was unexpected and with their smashed peas. I didn’t know this was a thing, but Hulk Smash all the peas because they were good. The whole meal was WOW! My pictures do not do it justice. We even ordered my mom’s meal To-Go back to our flat. It actually stayed hot and was very well packaged for the journey. Kudos to the chef and the staff. Be prepared to spend at least 30£ per person as a side note. In the UK, the tip is already included so expect to be treated like royalty. Ollie was amazing in service. I’m so sorry to have waited this long to write about our experience, but it’s finally here. If he forgot something, he quickly apologized and brought it to the table right away. He also gave some helpful suggestions when trying some of the non-alcoholic drinks. The Apple and Elderflower was out of this world and so was the Hot Honey and Pineapple drink that my friend ordered and I had a sample sip. Wow! Whoever came up with these drink menus are to be commended. I mean wow. They were quite expensive for the first time guest, however we now know what to expect. Thank you Ollie and the Founder’s Arms for making our first trip to a Pub memorable, exciting, fun as well as giving us our first taste of London.”

“Nice pub, good atmosphere, friendly staff. As a new customer, I was made to feel welcome by staff and customers”

“Despite being a smaller branch, I honestly think this is the best Preto we’ve been to. The meat came around frequently and the buffet options were really good. The quality of the meat felt noticeably better too, and the service was great - they were kind, attentive, and checked in on us.”

“The food was outstanding! Highly recommend the pizza, they are stone baked and covered in fresh produce. Staff were friendly and the beer was cold. Only negative is the parking, there isn't any. But that's the whole town to be honest.”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding service from Abdi at Pizza Tonight! After our first delivery was unfortunately cancelled, Abdi personally stepped in, prepared the pizza himself, and made sure it was delivered to our home exactly as promised. His dedication, professionalism, and work ethic really stood out. What impressed us most was his communication — clear, proactive, and genuinely reassuring throughout. Abdi is a real star, and the Pizza Tonight team must look after and value such an exceptional team member. Abdi is truly a hard-working manager and a real credit to Pizza Tonight. Highly recommended!”

“I had the most amazing Sri Lankan food here. The hoppers and Parathas were delicious. The service from Thamilzhkavi and Gowri made the meal so much better. They were friendly and polite and made the whole Sri Lankan culture experience better.”

“I had an absolutely phenomenal time dining here with my family!! A massive thank you to Liam for making our dining experience so wonderful, he was so lovely and kind to us and he is a massive credit to the business!! I will definitely be coming here again!”

“Absolutely delicious food. They are under new management and the new team deliver outstanding customer service. Friendly and attentive, a great place to eat. Only giving 4 stars for atmosphere as it’s so quiet, but hopefully more people will discover this gem and it’ll begin to buzz.”

“It was our 1st visit to check out this new takeaway cum dine in, in Crayford. Opened 4 months ago. Serves Peri Peri Chicken with rice or Naan bread. Chicken curry, Biryani, and etc. Prices are very good. Totally recommended.”

“Fantastic spot for dinner! The portions were generous, and the flavors were rich without being overwhelming. Excellent service from start to finish.”

“Fantastic food! I agree with the other reviews, I would have missed it had I not seen the reviews about it being downstairs and located outside the hotel. I had to wait a few minutes for the door to be answered but once inside the food and service did not disappoint. I would come back again. The butter chicken was fantastic”

“It’s a hidden gem right here on Katherine Road. Best Byriani in East London. Great down to earth vibes in store, but we always take away - great value for money and utterly delicious authentic food.”

“Been eating in and takeaways for years. Always top notch food and never disappointed, would highly recommend.”

“We took this venue for a private hire and it was incredible. Guests got to choose from the menu even though we were 60 plus people. The staff were amazing, so friendly and helpful. Food was great, generous portions and good mix on the menu. Bottomless drinks were plentiful with rarely an empty glass. Great communication throughout. Highly recommended”

“Great Cafe. Everything is very delicious. The staff is very polite. Great area. I really recommend this place.”

“I'm not a big fan of Chinese food, but it was late and I was so hungry, so we decided to try the hotel's restaurant. Unexpectedly, we loved everything we ordered. However, we wanted sea bass, which was already sold out, so we came back again after a few days. We weren't disappointed, and everything we ordered was nice.”

“Had the pleasure of tucking into their delicious Arancini at the Colchester Food Festival and was not disappointed. Absolutely delicious and such friendly service!!! Eccellente!!! I’ll definitely be visiting their website to order some for home!!”

“Nice delicious food, we love them pizzas as well”
