Cozy cafes in Welling

“Barley Mow is excellent all round. Good food with regular menu changes and special events. Always friendly staff and pleasant location. Special offers for less busy times and dates”

“This cafe carefully provides the very best tasting English Breakfast I have ever experienced. The presentation of which wouldn't be out of place in the best restaurants. They really care about their customers with happy smiling staff who take pride in every aspect of what they do. The cafe is immaculately clean and the prices are excellent value for money. I'd give it more stars if it was possible.”

“Super place and friendly staff, the sunday roast was amazing! May need to book a table as it does get quite busy! If your worried about sitting by the bar area don't be there was enough space !”

“Amazing place with some of the best shawarmas and burgers around. The flavors were incredible, portions were generous, and the sides complemented everything perfectly. Friendly staff, fast service, and a great overall experience. Will definitely be coming back!”

“An Italian style coffee shop. Excellent coffee which is smooth and strong. The cakes are really great and home made. Very reasonable price as well. The lunch options are paninis, sandwiches and salad bowls, plus baked potatoes and priced between £3.50 and £8.50. Cakes £2.90 Coffees around £2-3 with Americano £2.40 and cappuccino £2.70. This is a friendly cafe with outdoor seating and ideal for coffee and cake whilst out shopping or light lunches with friends. A really lovely addition to this fast improving High Street.”

“Went for brunch on Sunday without a reservation. Had to wait for about 10-15 Mon for a table for 4 but all worth it. Had smashed avocado and American pancakes, my other half had pulled pork. All was great and looking forward to our next visit. Menu was looking great. Felt bright and modern. Service was polite, quick and efficient.”

“Wonderful calming atmosphere - nice furniture, good lighting, Classic FM gently playing. But not the place to go if you're in a rush! I visited a couple months ago and will return soon. The owner makes lovely strong coffee (I had the macchiato, so I'm sure there are gentler brews!) and takes great care in making sandwiches to order. He's an elderly guy so he's quite slow, but I didn't mind at all. And all for such a low price that I forgot I was even in London!!”

“Bubble tea is very reasonably priced and tasty. Coconut milk tea would be my go too! Was served by Yamin. Incredibly friendly and was kind enough to serve us near closing time. Really appreciate it!”

“Lovely traditional pub with rooms upstairs. Bed comfy, and relatively quiet given the location. Very handy for Thorpe park. Friendly staff at the bar and great ale selection. Will definitely stay again when back in the area”

“Really friendly staff. Came in for few drinks with housemates and will definitely be returning, maybe to even try the food :)”

“Came across this lovely pub so clean. Ronnie the barmaid was very helpful and friendly. Lovely outside area and atmosphere. Even the toilets were very clean and nice. Would definitely recommend this pub. Definitely a return visit, Good selection of music in the beer garden & good people, Keep it up !!! Thank you Rachel & Ben”

“Visited as an away to Barnet game. Nice, inside and rear area with love sport. Friendly staff and customers.”

“Stumbled across this wonderful place whilst on our way to a different gastropub. Glad we ended up here instead! We went for a Sunday roast with the Haddock and chips which was well made and good value. Atmosphere was cosy, though it was fully booked on Sunday we sat in the back garden which had heaters above each table. Only criticism is that we were asked to move to a different table due to a group booking midway through our meal. But otherwise everything else was fantastic!”

“Fantastic local pub with incredible food, and an authentic ambiance. Service was fast and attentive despite being quite busy, and the steak and ale pie may have been the best I had on the trip. Looking forward to my next visit!”

“Leo is hands down the best bartender I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. From the moment you walk in, he makes you feel like the most important person in the room. His charisma, professionalism, and genuine passion for mixology shine through in every cocktail he crafts. Leo has an incredible memory for faces and drink preferences—he’ll remember your favorite from weeks ago and somehow make it taste even better the next time. His recommendations are always spot-on, and he can whip up something unique and delicious even if you don’t know what you want. Beyond his skill, Leo creates an atmosphere of warmth and connection that turns an ordinary night out into something special. Whether you’re celebrating or unwinding, Leo’s service, charm, and talent make every visit unforgettable. Simply put, he’s the heart of the bar—an absolute legend behind the counter.”

“Very happy to see this place reopening its doors. Went with wife and kid for a few quick ones over the weekend and really liked the new decor and atmosphere. Staff was welcoming and very polite, and selection of drinks was wide too. Looking forward to getting back soon, and support this great local pub.”

“What a transformation! Not been inside for many years although it should be our 'local'. Went in to have a drink and look round, stayed for lunch and another drink. Staff friendly and welcoming. Range of drinks is good and food excellent. Will certainly be going back”

“Had a space reserved for a special birthday. The service was excellent and the staff were just as attentive. Because of the very very hot day we made the most of the garden and all had an amazing time. Thank you all for making the day special. Would recommend for all occasions!!”

“This was my third visit to The Kings Head in Sevenoaks within just a couple of months, and there’s a very good reason I keep coming back. I travel all the way from Farnham, which is a 50-mile trip, but it’s absolutely worth it every time. I’d probably go further if they asked nicely. The pub has everything you’d hope for from a proper village pub. The building is beautifully traditional, full of character, and in the summer the garden is a genuinely lovely place to sit and unwind. The staff are consistently excellent, friendly, attentive, and clearly take pride in making people feel right at home. There’s also a solid selection of real ales and lagers, which never disappoints. My first visit was at the tail end of summer, when I sat in the garden for lunch and was instantly taken with the place. A couple of weeks later I returned for an evening meal and was so impressed that I decided to relocate our annual family remembrance gathering here. We came as a group of 11 for lunch on Saturday 15th November, and even though the pub was very busy, the service was faultless. Our waitress was kind, attentive, and had a great sense of humour, which is essential when dealing with our lively family. The team here didn’t flinch. Even though the pub was busy, service stayed top-notch and dishes arrived far quicker than I expected. Miracles do happen. All the dishes we ordered arrived promptly, and every one of us commented on the generous portion sizes (a rarity these days!) and the superb quality. Everything was cooked perfectly and packed with flavour. I had the cod stew with chorizo and crispy kale, which was an absolute standout — beautifully balanced and bursting with flavour, like a little firework display in a bowl. I followed it with an apple crumble and custard, which met the approval of even our most serious crumble connoisseurs. And, to top it all off, the bill was a very pleasant surprise. It’s refreshing to enjoy food and service of this standard without feeling like you’ve been mugged on the way out. The Kings Head is a place I genuinely love. Traditional, welcoming, great food, great staff, and great value. I’ll happily keep making the 50-mile journey, it’s become a firm favourite of mine.”

“Lovely little village pub on outskirts of Epping Forest. Very friendly service, nice atmosphere, Good food, we had two ploughman’s with cheddar, blue cheese and ham which were nice and fresh, two pints of Moretti all for £37 which we thought very reasonable. Good parking, plenty outside seating.”

“The team at London Grace Angel are LOVELY and did a fantastic job on my nails. Great atmosphere and coffee too. Will need to return for the cocktails! Thanks for a nice experience.”

“The lovely pub hosted our daughter's 40th Birthday party in the side room off the main bar. We were able to decorate the room and also to have a local guitarist entertain us together with a fab face painter. Our party was able to order yummy food and drinks from the bar. I can't thank Nick and his super staff more. Highly recommend this great pub..”

“Excellent service and they did our breakfasts exactly how we wantent them. The prices are responsible and the place does get busy at times but they are able to manage.”

“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.”

“We visited 2 times for 3 days - really liked the local beer, the food and the atmosphere. The bartender who was also a waiter was very nice so we totally recommend the place!”

“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”

“I didn't use Chat gpt to write this, unlike some people! The food is great, couldn’t fault it so it’s a 9.5 out 10 from me. Staff are brilliant too. We will be coming back.”

“Quality service, everything was clean, the temperature of the food was great. The staff was lovely and very attentive. Aaliyah, Kat and Nicola were a delight.”

“Gemma serves the best Guinness in this pub Absolutely a must for you Guinness lovers”

“Visited this pub for lunch yesterday with a 4 day old baby - the two ladies serving were very welcoming and friendly. Table service was great from the moment we sat down and after scouring the menu, we both ordered the New Inn Burger - 5* burger in my opinion, the quality of meat and the cook was excellent. Hats off to the chef! Will definitely be returning.”
