Cozy cafes in Welling

“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.”

“Hidden Gem In Putney I recently visited The Arab Boy and had an absolutely wonderful experience. The atmosphere of the pub is cozy and welcoming, a perfect blend of traditional charm and modern comfort. I ordered the fish and chips, and it was simply divine – crispy on the outside, tender and flavorful on the inside, just as it should be. To complement my meal, I enjoyed a pint of Guinness, which was perfectly poured and served cold. The staff were friendly and attentive, making sure that everything was to my liking. Whether you’re looking for a great spot to relax with friends or just want to enjoy some delicious British classics, The Arab Boy is the place to go. I highly recommend it to anyone in the area – you won’t be disappointed!”

“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!”

“Incredible venue with great food and drink! I had the pleasure of being shown around the new renovation upstairs for events. Absolutely top class finish, I can’t recommend this anymore. Well worth the visit!”

“We had our Civil ceremony reception here and what a great team with Matt and the other amazing staff. The food was spectacular and my family loved to spend our special day with you at The Grange. You made our special day even more special!”

“Food was great if a bit pricey. We went for the burrata and the spice bag. The service was fantastic. Will definitely be back.”

“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.”

“Sunday night karaoke is excellent (providing you're drunk and/or do not take lodge seriously). And I really don't like karaoke. What more can you ask for?”

“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.”

“I absolutely cannot fault this new coffee shop! It is in a perfect location for my short commute to work, as well as when I need a weekend pick me up. Very catering towards my particular coffee order, really friendly staff and a really cool vibe in the inside. Definitely recommend to all”

“Enjoyed my breakfast here. Four or five other guests were present, so not too busy first thing on a Monday morning. My black coffee was great, although a little expensive if I'm honest. My full English was nicely presented and tasted good. Overall it was very filling. I'd certainly recommend this place if you're passing through the High St area of Tunbridge Wells.”

“Great menu options, friendly service and nice atmosphere. A range of menu items from full dinner items through to pastries, sandwiches, salads and snacks. Drinks include hot drinks with alternatives to dairy milk (eg Oat) and cocktails”

“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!”

“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.”

“I love this place! Hassan and Cecilia are great hosts, you are always greeted with a genuine and warm welcome, plenty of food options at reasonable prices. I just heard they will be giving up the business at the end of this week as the landlady is being difficult and will not renew their lease, she is turning the place into flats. All about greed! This will be a massive knock for the local community and I personally will miss coming here for my much, and of course Hassan and Cecilia will be sorely missed. Thanks for all the years!”

“I was one of many anti ulez protestors at welling corner on tuesday 20th febuary 2024 the very friendly and helpfull staff supplied us with hot water to make our tears ect, thank you so much koffi pot for supporting our cause and a must visit to this great little family run cafe, again thank you so much from the Bexley Anti Ulez Blockers.”

“Buy my Coffee from this place nearly every day! It’s a life saver in these current times!.. staff always so friendly and welcoming, and also follow all of the Covid regulations to keep their staff and customers nice and safe!”

“This quaint pub has an enormous and beautiful garden with lots for kids to do... The regulars are fantastic and friendly, and the staff are genuinely lovely. We stopped in for a cheeky pint and ended up staying just for the hilarious conversation. Exactly as a good English pub should be. Highly recommended!”

“The Swan ticked all the boxes today. Fab food, great staff perfect ambience. I had the mussels, amazing for the price and delicious. My wife had the cheese soufflé - would highly recommend. Relatively busy and the food came promptly. I will be back with friends and family. Youngs doing their job right yet again.”

“Lovely little pub in a lovely location and the beer isn’t bad either!”

“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.”

“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.”

“Food was excellent and cost atmosphere - just what you want in winter after a lovely walk in the Heath! Friendly service - slightly slower than expected but may have been some staffing issues that day.”

“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”

“First time visiting with my friends and will definitely be back! Food was lovely and a very welcoming atmosphere, a special thank you to Clio who served us and was amazing! So glad I found this gem!”

“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!!!”

“We have visited here many times, simply because of the location, the food, the pub itself and the great service. Almost every time we visit, we are served by the lovely Angela. She always remembers us and greets us with a friendly smile. She has a wonderful sense of humour and always makes our visit a pleasure along with her lovely customer service. Will be visiting many more times in the future”
