“Sheree did all of our floral arrangements for our December 2024 wedding, including bouquets, top table arrangements, table flowers, cake decorations, and petal confetti. We absolutely cannot recommend Sheree highly enough! She was lovely to work with, from when we first met her right up to the big day. Always really responsive with texts / emails, and happy to take our ideas and run with them! We had so many compliments on all of our florals, and so many people asking to take them home after the ceremony. My bouquet travelled with me on our honeymoon, and still looked and smelled amazing after a week living in a large jug at the hotel. Sheree was happy to advise us what worked with our colour palette and what was in season, and the results were gorgeous. The pine and eucalyptus which we used smelled incredible for weeks afterwards, and all of the delicate florals were so fresh and perfectly chosen for the big day.”

“Clara was wonderful, the work is perfect and unique. Bang on the style I wanted and she timed it perfectly for the time window. It’s always telling when a team at work are having fun together and that was really evident”

“Florence the sales rep made my shopping experience wry pleasant, I was shopping for my mums birthday and she was very attentive and patient as I was indecisive on what bracelet and charms to get .

Billy was more than happy to assist and go through all the products and the different choices. The quality of the stone is amazing and I cannot wait till our garden is complete. Thank you CED and Billy at Thurrock is an asset in his top customer service.”

“I joined the drawing course at Sunny Art Academy and couldn’t be happier with my experience! The tutors are incredibly knowledgeable, patient, and passionate about art, guiding students through every step with clear explanations and practical demonstrations. The course builds a strong foundation in key skills like proportion, perspective, and shading, while also encouraging personal creativity. The studio itself is welcoming and inspiring, with a friendly atmosphere that makes learning enjoyable. I’ve noticed real improvement in my drawing ability in just a few weeks, and each lesson leaves me excited to keep practising. Whether you’re a complete beginner or looking to refine your skills, I highly recommend Sunny Art Academy – it’s one of the best art schools in London!”

“Fantastic food and spectacular service especially from King x Thank you for your hospitality will return very soon x 2nd time coming and yet again King as pulled it out of the bag and made my mum and dads anniversary extra special. Thank you so much”

“A chefs perspective of ottos it could not get more French when you walk in your transported to France. The owner is a French as they come! I thought the goats cheese soufflé was one of the best starters I’ve ever had. The scallops were also as good as it gets. The service on the starters wasn’t the best they got our starters mixed up the front of house manager took our order so that was his bad the younger waiter had to take the embarrassment for it!. I did find the front of house manager abir all the place pacing up and down the restaurant looking quite bored at times but he is good with customer with his old school approach and jokes and he’s certainly knows what he’s doing. It was quiet that night so maybe that was the mistake and the pacing up and down. As for the rack of lamb the theatre was great but the lamb was as good as roar in my opinio. I forgot how rare the French cook meat. That ruined it for me and in my opinion English peolple think that is to under cooked the worst part was the fat had not been rendered down and was very raw and tough also the whole lamb was under seasoned and it needed some sort of peas maybe as a purea?! It ruined rhe meal for me I said to my sister I’ve only cooked a rack of lamb a few times so these guys should get it bang on cooking it most nights but they messed it up big time! They should ask how you want it cooked because once it’s been carved that’s it you will have to flash it in a pan which will ruin it to cook it more! execute the cooking right b4 you bring the theatre out I would say I have never had pomme soufflés b4 I wanted to get them to see what the hype is about they were exactly how they should be looks wise a work of art crafted by a mater of his trade! They are extremely hard to make so hats of ro the chef who did them for me sadly as I expected rhe flavour was not great just like a crisp with no seasoning the salt had not even stuck to them again all about the theatre but lacking in seasoning. They would be better served with some sort of Hollandaise or aioli not the jus. The Apple tart was to die for and the chocolate pot and the after dinner truffles were not very impressive . It’s a great restaurant I would not return I would say it’s the sort of place most people would only go once I would not say it’s worth the price tag for normal people anyway. I know my food and how hospitality runs so I like to leave an honest chefs review of restaurants. I would like to say the younger guys in the team were very professional and knew what they were doing shame they have to make up mistakes of others but it was an experience I wanted to show my sister a higher class of food and service and it did deliver just a shame rhe lamb was not right. Whej it came to the bill I was not willing to pay the 12.5% tip I wanted to tip what I thought it was worth they wanted £30 service charge well I put 10£ for it and of course like all fancy places and most places in general in london they make you feel bad for it and it can create a scene my £10 was a fair tip they shpuid of been happy with considering the service they had given me and tbh this bugs me about these places I’m not from the 1% my bill is already very expensive why embarrass me in front of other guests and my sister not all guests have endless amounts of money and don’t take it personally if people cannot pay the service charge it’s optional some people are hard up and save for a meal like this. Thanks to ottos for the experience it’s something I will not forgot the French know how to eat drink and live that’s for sure there food brings joy all round the globe they are very passionate people when it comes to hospitality.”

“My wife bought 2 pizzas couple of days ago.She just explained where exactly is the place and today I go and get 2 large pizzas.

They also are lovely people. Everything there is looking clean and tidy. I’m so happy we found this Thank you so much,will see you very soon :)”

“Had breakfast here for the last two days couldn't ask for a better breakfast and better service. Id recommend this cafe should be tried if your in the area.”

“Like a scene from a Guy Richie movie. It’s your typical east London greasy spoon, only in Essex. Very friendly staff, spotlessly clean and great grub. I’d recommend it”

“This is my favourite place in this area. If I work nearby, I always come here for lunch. The eat in menu changes slightly everyday and the food is fresh and tasty for what you get. I have been a fan for over 10 years!”

“Petra is an amazing host, really attentive and welcoming. Thanks for a lovely Xmas meal”

“Sadie was lots of help she helped me find a outfit for my cousins party and Lynda Slayed as she helped me aswell she was super lovely”

“Great experience at Dreams today. Vanessa was very helpful when we needed advice for a small headboard fix, and we left completely sorted. We have always trusted Dreams for quality and service, and we'll happily return when we are ready for our next bed.”

“I visited yesterday to shop for jewellery for my wedding, Clair was incredibly helpful and knew exactly what pieces to show me/suggest after making an effort to get to know me and my style, I was allowed to try on many pieces and Clair offered her opinion which was really helpful. It really was such a special moment and I can't thank Clair enough!”

“Verdict • Food Quality: High-quality ingredients, particularly the fresh-cut fries and customizable, juicy burgers. • Atmosphere: Casual, loud, and dominated by the iconic red-and-white checkered theme and stacks of peanut oil boxes and potato sacks. Don't forget the free peanuts while you wait! • The Price/Value Question: This is where Five Guys can be polarizing. It’s significantly more expensive than traditional fast food. You are paying a premium for "fresh food, not fast food," but the service style is still fast-casual. Final Score: 8/10”

“We tried this restaurant as we just moved to the area. What a pleasant surprise. The food was lovely, abundant and at a very reasonable price. We loved the atmosphere and the team is so welcoming. Excellent customer service, we felt pampered and at home. Much recommended.”

“Nice food & friendly staff definitely worth a visit”
