The 30 Best Cozy dining in Romford

“Hands down the best spot in Romford, tucked away on the far side of the market, this little gem is a generational family run cafe, I had a sausage egg and bacon sandwich taken away, it was foodgasmic the bacon was thick back bacon with a light smoke, the egg was runny the sausage was good quality and the crusty English bread was fresh and nourishing slavered in butter and brown sauce. I have been here a few times and think it’s great, and the tea is a good blend with a strong colour just the way I like it not milky and served in a proper cup not those fancy coffee dish’s. Keep up the good work guys.”

“The warm bread served at the start was incredible, and things only got better from there. My main dish — risotto with asparagus and truffle — was heavenly. Soft, creamy, and full of rich aroma.”

“Absolutely beautiful tasting pizza.Owner is also very nice.Would 100% recommend”

“Friendly service, tasty food, good size portions, child friendly and dogs welcome plus ample parking. A real gem! Celebrated a family birthday and had a wonderful afternoon- had a few of the Sunday roasts which were lovely and lemon sole, soup and steaks were very tasty. And they served the gin properly.”

“The food is amazing but they only have one phone line that is constantly busy and hardly ever free to take orders due to its popularity. It is its one major downside. You can try calling for over 50mins with the phone being constantly engaged.”

“Best food ever,, we came from canary wharf”

“Pleasant service, good food and big portion sizes.”

“Excellent fish and chips sold here. Great service too.”

“I've ordered a few times from this place now and it's always been absolutely spot on. also bless them for adding a note because they didn't have their drink I requested. little touches like this will keep people coming back.”

“Delicious biryani for £4.00 makes this amazing value - and they make authentic Italian coffee as the barman/owner used to live there. Better macchiato than any of the high street chains and the price is 50% cheaper”

“I went some folks from work, had such a lovely time. An early Christmas meal out. The food was amazing, very quick to order if you do it via app. The drinks were perfect, cheap and cheerful. Only thing, we unfortunately kept needing to ask staff to clear our finished plates and glasses. And one of the staff was sweet enough to take a group photo, but a different one appeared a bit grumpy throughout the time we were there. But overall, pretty dark good for the price and atmosphere and company, 10/10 would recommend. I think I found my new favourite 'Spoons.”

“Anything you need/want for your home would be available here. Amazing collection at a reasonable price. There are great deals available at discounted items which are hard to beat.”

“Most staff are lovely and very helpful. Easy to park. Just difficult to get there atm with the closure of Gallows Corner”

“Food is amazing! The service is lovely and my god is the atmosphere so nostalgic, Highly recommend!”

“The food and service at De Quilox are consistently excellent. The staff are friendly and helpful, in particular Timi, who is an embodiment of the owner’s ethos. I thank Michael, the owner, and all members of his team for the excellent food and service every time!”

“Best Chinese we've had in many years. So sad it's not local as we'd order all the time. They do deliver to my Mother in Law's though. The food was so delicious I forgot to take pics haha and I usually always do. We had spring rolls, tofu Szechuan(best I've had and actually spicy for once, unlike many other places) and tofu black bean. Vegetable rice(so delicious, with seaweed in, massive fan). It reminded me of Chinese I'd have as a child. So hard to find decent Chinese take out nowadays. The fortune cookies were a nice little touch too. My son loved his food too, we all did. So glad we gave them a go. We'll be back again and again.”
