Classical menu in Welling

“Absolutely delicious food and very attentive staff. The menu very clearly states what dishes are vegan and there’s so many options. We were spoilt for choice and ended up taking home what was left as the portions were very generous. So glad to have a local restaurant this good. Will definitely be back.”

“I have been using L`Antico for many years, as have many of the faces I see there every week, In the last few months there have been a spate of Malicious reviews that seem fake as the description given for the restaurant does not match the actual restaurant. before that time the reviews are good Google have a responsibility to check the authenticity of these reviews and make sure they are from verified users most of the reviews in the last few months are from people that do not have a profile and have only made one or two reviews in most cases the second review is advertising a service of some kind I believe these reviews are fake and have been generated to damage a small family owned business the bad reviews started a few months ago some while the family were closed for their annual holiday below are a few examples and a correction of their description of the venue I could have put more corrections from that period but the text was to long for google reviews Marie Deniger asked for a quite area for 8 people, the restaurant is one big open plan room, she states she was seated next to the kitchen door , there is no door to the kitchen, the entrance to the kitchen is behind the bar, she states the chairs are plastic , the chairs are made of wood, she states that her uncle's soup was cold, but there is no soup on the menu, she says she ordered a birthday cake,as far as i know the restaurant does not buy in birthday cakes however I have seen customers bring special cakes in this type of occasion.(with the owner's consent) (description is inconsistent with the actual restaurant) Zacharie Gendoron states the carpet was stained and frayed, there is no carpet in the restaurant, he states the walls are faded, the wall are brilliant white (see website photo) he states that several lights were broken and flickering, there are no lights that are broken or flicker, he states he was seated at a table that was still dirty from a previous customer, i have spent a lot of time in the restaurant and as soon as a diner leaves the tables are cleaned and wiped and reset (description is inconsistent with the actual restaurant) again 1 review Dylan Rowley states The restaurant's interior looked tired and dated, with worn upholstery the photos of the restaurant on the website are up to date, he states he was uncomfortably cold. his review was from a month ago(height of summer) his description of the food is either to hot or to cold almost as if he had asked AI to generate a bad review, he also states that he had to wait 45 mins for his starter, i have never seen anyone wait more the 10mins for a starter, and that includes days when there is a Chelsea home fixture review from 1 month ago, again description is inconsistent with the actual restaurant Danyelle J Williams states she was seated in a cupboard next to a toilet, the restaurant is open plan you cannot sit next to a toilet you can however sit near a room that leads to the toilets you have to go in to a room separate form the dining area and then in to a toilet both doors would have to be open (main door is spring loaded to close, and then the diners would have to be silent then if you are lucky you might hear a flush, she states prices have increased i don't know one business that is immune from prices increases, she states the the pizza size has shrunk, i have had many pizza`s over the years they remain the same size they ever were, a pizza cannot have a cold top and a hot underside that's not how a pizza oven works ( unless you are having a topping added after it has been cooked like rocket) she states that her dessert never arrived, the dessert display is in the centre of the restaurant you can almost reach it with an outstretched arm the staff are always in the centre of the of the restaurant so this is unlikly, review from 1 month ago, again description is inconsistent with the actual restaurant visit L`Antico and see for yourself then write a verified review based on a real experience”

“I was there yesterday at a lunch party for my uncle and Aunt’s Diamond Wedding Anniversary. The food and the service was really wonderful and a credit to the Haven. The food was beautifully presented and served hot. The room was elegantly decorated for 25 guests seated at a long table. Nothing was too much for the staff, I was so impressed. With everything thank you so much for making it such a special day.”

“Very good customer service lovley food you can never good wrong with fresh west african food keep pushing through for the local community all the very best”

“Great takeaway. We had a bento box each. Defo have again!”

“Lovely food, reasonable prices and comfortable atmosphere.”

“Great pub. Very dog friendly they even have a dog menu. Been with family for Sunday lunch the team was very efficient and food was lovely. Will visit again”

“Had a lovely Sunday roast with my family, the food was delicious & the service warm & friendly. We will be in touch to book for our Christmas party.”

“A lovely roast dinner in the heart of Chiswick. Staff friendly and attentive too. Meeting the pub cat Nugget was a bonus”

“I popped into The White Hart in Crystal Palace and was blown away by their Sunday roast. The food was delicious, portions were generous, and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. Anastasiia looked after us and made the experience even better — so attentive and friendly. Definitely one of the best Sunday roasts I’ve had in London!”

“It's not often you walk into a pub you are not familiar with and feel welcome, there's a real family vibe, very friendly atmosphere. Enjoyed a garden BBQ, hosted by the manager who didn't set any prices just asked for donations to support the pub. I felt this was a great indicator of things to come for this place and I'm looking forward to returning when I'm in the area again.”

“Food was good and the staff friendly (Elise-sorry if I’ve misremembered your name). The place was clean and comfortable with easy parking. There was a small delay with the food being served at that particular time due to a wake being held in another private room but we were kept informed and apologies were offered. Would recommend The Chelsfield Arms.”

“I recently held a wake for my late mother at The Queen’s Head, and I cannot praise the team enough. From start to finish, the staff were incredibly attentive, compassionate, and professional. They truly went above and beyond to make sure everything ran smoothly during such an emotional time. The food was outstanding—beautifully presented, full of flavour, and served in generous portions. There was a fantastic variety, and it was all so well received by our guests—it disappeared in no time! The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, and the staff made everyone feel comfortable and cared for. I wholeheartedly recommend The Queen’s Head to anyone looking for a venue to host a wake or any special gathering. Their dedication, kindness, and attention to detail made a difficult day so much easier. Thank you for everything!”

“Nice local worth re trying (had some financial problems and closed for a while). Wine selection looks good but haven't tried. Beer range is reasonable, some crafts.”

“Absolutely beautiful pub! From the stunning wooden beamed exterior, to the quaint delightful interior, the Blackhorse, is exactly how a pub ought be. The menu options are fantastic, with options for kids and adults alike. So something for everyone - even fussy kids! I love visiting the Blackhorse, with my partner and teenage kids, and we always have a wonderful time, and have created some amazing memories there over the years. I look forward to creating many more memorable moments at the Blackhorse.”

“Went there with the family, I had the chicken pizza and the amazing volcano Pizza. Both were absolutely delicious. The complementary olives and the tasty small bread were as tasty as well. Cant recommend the place enough. The staff was friendly and experience. you should definitely try it soon.”

“I had my first experience at Starbucks Coffee in London, and it was amazing! The food was delicious, fresh, and full of flavor. The coffee was rich and perfectly brewed, just as expected from Starbucks. A special shoutout to Sadman Ahmed Sunny for his excellent service! He was incredibly friendly, attentive, and made my visit even more enjoyable. His warm attitude and professionalism truly stood out.”

“Visited this place today and I must say it's phenomenal. From the atmosphere, food and service, everything was pin point perfect. The prawn starter was delicious. The mixed platter was to die for and the bolognese was so amazingly tasty. Not to mention, all the staff was extremely friendly and helpful. Will certainly visit again and so should you all.”

“Very nice place. Great atmosphere and Jennifer’s service was outstanding. The food was very delicious and carefully made. Very nice cocktails too.”

“Love this place.. food is outstanding. Very nice staff.. courgette fritters were delicious. Big portion of salad.”

“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!”

“Very nice. The coffee is a reasonable price, and very good quality - it doesn't taste like a dark roast so there is lots of room for the lighter flavours to come out. The staff are lovely. Unusual armchairs to sit in, or more traditional seating towards the back. Lots of accompanying food is offered, with gluten-free options available. It's so much better than a chain brand - and independent businesses are worth supporting. My cappuccino was £2.40. Loyalty cards are available. This could well be my favourite coffee in central Twickenham since The Coffee Lab closed down. Well worth a visit.”

“A perfect summer spot! We had the most relaxing afternoon in the garden, sipping Aperol Spritz under the sun. The atmosphere was laid back and full of good vibes. Omer was absolutely fantastic, genuinely kind. Can’t wait to come back.”

“Had the privilege of being served by Trent and Matthew in the restaurant. Delicious food, fast service and gorgeous venue. Highly recommend for a small night out or a dinner for large groups.”

“This is such a charming little pub, with a lovely beer garden and a terrace overlooking the canal. It’s a really pleasant spot to spend time with friends — a hidden gem, especially since places like this are quite rare around here. They offer a great selection of drinks, from beers and cocktails to non-alcoholic options, and the food is genuinely delicious. The atmosphere feels warm and relaxed, perfect for an afternoon drink, a casual evening out or a date.”

“A breath of fresh air for the Hampstead / Belsize area. While so many nearby pubs seem desperate to be seen as “gastro” — overpriced menus, forced décor and an air of self-importance — this place keeps it simple and gets it right. Relaxed atmosphere, proper prices, live football and genuinely lovely staff. It remembers what a pub is meant to be.”

“Large local pub with a lot of history (the whole area, "The Blue" us named after it). A good selection of beers and friendly staff. The pub was completely shuttered all over covid and I was worried that it would close forever, but it's back now under new ownership. It's clearly a good place for watching sport.”

“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.”

“We’ve always loved the WTF, and it’s pretty much been our local since moving here 4yrs ago. However, what a breathe of fresh air it’s had recently with the renovation, and Exale brewery taking over!! A total triumph and such an exciting and welcomed addition to the area. This place brings something different to the other pubs I feel. It has a combination of great beers on tap (their pale rose is also gorgeous and such a bargain!) it’s super relaxed and welcoming to all types of people - young and old, family groups and lots of young people too. Staff are super friendly, lots of new faces and Short Road pizza is totally unbeatable! Love the weekly special offers too. What a cracking local boozer!! 5 stars all round xx”

“Wow - how can I even begin to describe the night we had at the Three Compasses in Dalston! Fabio made sure we had the best time - the atmosphere was second to none and the vibes were absolutely excellent. I celebrated my birthday here and I will be back every year here after!!!”
