The 30 Best Lunch options in Romford

“Jack and oz are the dream team. Good food at decent prices, the upgrade has been done very well. Staff are friendly and always willing to go the extra mile to keep customers happy.”

“What a lovely place. From first booking our afternoon tea to arriving, Kelly was great. Our groups food intolerances were catered for extremely well & everyone enjoyed a delicious & plentiful afternoon tea. We had lovely fresh sandwiches, warm soft scones, not dry or crumbly & a large variety of delicious cakes all served in authentic crockery, a nice touch. Even our dog was welcomed just as much as we were. We had to take our leftovers home as we couldn't finish all of the delicious cakes, a welcomed treat later on. Thank you to Kelly & Eastbrookend tea rooms for a lovely afternoon tea. We'll be back & would recommend!”

“One of the best Turkish takeaways that I’ve had. Juicy pieces of meat with salad, sauce and it’s breads. Huge portions so you don’t need to worry about lunch the next day! My friend had the double gut buster (what a name!) which consists of two quarter pounder patties and a generous amount of lamb doner strips. PS this place only takes cash but there is a Tesco a few minutes away from the shop.”

“Great local fish & chip shop, offering a lot more choice inside, burgers, kebabs etc. I ordered Sausage in batter and chips, fresh, hot, and tasty served in a box. Only take cash, no card payments taken”

“Crem Kitchen absolutely blew me away. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was welcoming and cozy — the perfect setting for a Sunday roast. The host greeted us with a genuine smile and made us feel right at home. Nothing was too much trouble; every request was met with kindness and care. And the food — wow. The roast dinner was hands down the best I’ve ever had. Perfectly cooked meat, crisp yet fluffy roast potatoes, rich gravy, and all the trimmings done to perfection. You can really taste the love and attention that goes into every dish. I left feeling full, happy, and already planning my next visit. Crem Kitchen is a true gem — I can’t recommend it enough!”

“Food was delicious big portion for a good price. It's located on the main road right opposite Gidea park station so easy access and there is limited parking on the main road. Food very nice staff friendly and helpful. Restaurant very pretty defo recommend for a date or for a romantic dinner or family dinner”

“Five stars for the service! We really enjoyed our dinner, which was made special by our server, Subha. She was incredibly welcoming and attentive, even while helping train a new waitress. Subha recommended the pollo ad Astra and it was delicious. Along with our two large classic pizzas, everything was perfectly cooked. Great environment and great food, but the service from Subha really stood out.”

“Best Chicken biriyani and Chicken grill i ever had in Romford. Quantity of biriyani is good compared to the price, but i like to have 2 at a time not because of the quantity but because of the taste and you cannot stop eating it now its become a month every Saturday or Sunday this is our Cheet meal. Must try chicken biriyani with grilled chicken and salad deadly combo. Also just want to share todays experiance as i saw a customer just changed the order during the delivery when it was fully prepared and pack and handed over to customer, still the staff there took care of the changes and handled the situation really well. Helpful and supportive staff as always.”

“The fish and chips was tasty without being greasy. Everything I had was of really good quality and without breaking the bank. This is going to be my regular spot from now on. Highly recommend particularly in this are as I think it lacks good options but luckily we have this place. Honestly 4.5 out of 5 l, a truly great place. Would happily eat here most days!”

“This is a really special cafè. I had a delicious muffin with bacon, avocado and fried egg. Great price. Had no idea all of the proceeds go to homeless charity until I went inside. Really nice welcoming and homely atmosphere inside too. Really impressed with the volunteers especially one guy who was doing so well despite English not being his first language. Will deff go back and would encourage others to go too.”

“Had such a great experience at The Rabbits Pub thanks to Laura! She was super friendly, welcoming, and made us feel looked after the whole time. You can tell she really knows what she’s doing everything ran so smoothly, and she handled things with total confidence. She’s got real manager vibes very organised, professional, and still manages to keep things relaxed. It’s rare to get service that feels both personal and professional at the same time, but Laura absolutely nailed it. Food was really nice one of the few places i have enjoyed food in a pub atmosphere Definitely one of the reasons I’ll be coming back”
