Quality dining experiences in Upminster

“I cant fault this place For authentic Thai food this is the one Super fresh great tasting fantastic value for money too”

“First time eating here. Very impressed. Food was great and very fairly priced. Staff very friendly and helpful.”

“Been here several times for breakfast. Always friendly, polite and the service is good. Food is good and plentiful, but can get quite busy.”

“Well... I've never used this indian before but i was pleasantly surprised. I orderd a meal for delivery at 10.40pm (20 mins before closing) and they still accepted my order even though it was going to take around 40 mins to deliver, as a first time customer this surprised me. The food was still hot when delivered and the delivery guy was very pleasant. Down to the grub... We had shami kebab and onion bhaji for starters and they where some of the best we've ever eaten, and we've had a few Indian meals in our time. I forgot the name of main we had but it was spiced chicken in a light tangy sauce with ginger, chilli and onions. Once again this was beautifully made and tasty. The rice and naan breads we had were also spot on and the bombay potatoes were beautiful. So, if you're hungry and are in two minds about picking this restaurant i hope my review may help you in your choice.”

“We want to say a big thank you to the whole team at Stanford, especially Ken, Fiona and Richard. The design process was very thorough. We must have changed our minds over a dozen times, but Ken had great patience with us. We had a couple of minor issues with installation, but the team worked professionally and promptly to rectify. We are delighted with our kitchen and would happily recommend Stanford Design for anyone wanting a new kitchen.”

“This is my new favourite cafe!! It's got so much better over time. I must Go there atleast once a week or I start missing it!!! Have tried a lot of other cafes but this is the best one so far.

Edited to add: Oct 2024 and still the best one for a jacket potato!!”

“Lovely café with great vibes! I had such a great experience at this café — cozy atmosphere, friendly staff, and absolutely delicious food and drinks. The coffee was smooth and rich, and the pastries were fresh and full of flavor. I also appreciated the little touches like comfy seating, fast Wi-Fi, and clean, well-kept surroundings. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, catch up with friends, or get some work done. Service was quick and welcoming, and everything felt really well thought out. Highly recommend if you’re in the area — I’ll definitely be back!”

“Quick service, friendly staff and fresh and tasty food. Value 4 money too.”

“Great service . Just ordered 2 lovely chesterfield sofa’s from Rooms . The sales guy Tony was very knowledgeable of the items we were interested in and gave us a lot of good advice . Very helpful Tony .”

“Popped in here for lunch with my friend and her baby last week and would highly recommend a visit. There were a steady stream of people coming in for icecream and the servers were very sweet despite being busy. The food menu is pretty extensive (jacket potatoes, wraps, sandwiches, full English and more) and they're really flexible so you can easily tweak and swap out items. We had a strawberry milkshake each (delish!! And they even gave us a small third glass because it made too much for 2 cups and otherwise it'd go to waste - never had that anywhere ever they normally jus put it down the sink), a crayfish sandwich and pesto panini both with Crisps and salad. Food was great and then the icecream after was fab, tasted a few flavours then picked one and only £2 a scoop! They also only use the posh biscuit cones and spinkles and sauce are inc. In the price :) seating available inside and out, fully licensed and with a wide range of cocktails and spirits and open till 8pm on some days!”

“Nice beer and friendly bar staff. What more could you ask for. Friendly locals; lovely garden with big screen for the footie.”

“Very nice pub. Friendly staff and punters, clean with lots of Halloween decorations”

“It was Our first visit tonight, the atmosphere was lovely with an amazing live singer. The food was so good we had 3 courses ! And Sonia our waitress was happy, friendly and helpful. We will definitely be returning there again soon. Can highly recommend”

“If you’re looking for the best fish and chips this side of Essex, look no further! This place is, without a doubt, a standout among all the fish and chip shops I’ve tried, and I’ve tried plenty. From the moment you walk in, you can tell they take pride in their food. The aroma hits you right away—fresh fish, crispy batter, and perfectly fried chips.First, let’s talk about the fish. It’s always fresh, never greasy, and the batter has that perfect crunch you dream of. They clearly use high-quality ingredients because the taste is phenomenal every time. The chips are equally as impressive—golden, fluffy on the inside, and crisp on the outside. They’re seasoned just right, and you can tell they care about the little details here. You won’t find soggy fries or overcooked fish, just perfection on a plate.I’ve visited multiple times, and the consistency is what keeps me coming back. The service is friendly and fast, and no matter how busy it gets, the quality never slips. I’m now making it a point to stop by every week because it’s become my go-to spot for comfort food. Whether you’re dining in or taking it home, it’s always a win.In short, this place is a gem. If you love traditional fish and chips, it doesn’t get any better than this. Trust me, you’ll be hooked after one visit. Highly recommend!”

“This was last min decision to visit pizza express, staff very accommodating and service was really good, process our order very quick. we did enjoy our meal! Will definitely come back :-)”

“Guys I tried flames first time and as far as takeaways go for a small business they really do know there stuff when it comes too food ,I've eaten from flames many times and from experience I've never had a bad meal and even on the odd occasion when it's been longer than usual in waiting for the delivery they have always been apologetic,the portion sizes are genouros and is very reasonable price wise ,speaking from experience id highly recommend flames kebabs it's very satisfying,a special mention for there chicken diner ,,very nice”

“Excellent 3 course meal for 2 with wine and coffee for £66 . My swordfish was huge and superb. Waiter very attentive. Toilets were impeccable. Will definitely recommend and return!”

“Came to a mates party, super convenient pizza shop. Quick service and great quality. 10/10. A must for any party after a session”

“I have only used the take away services of this restaurant and on both occasions have found the food to be excellent and in my opinion a five star cuisine. The food was extremely tasty, hot on delivery and delivered extremely quickly. The management and staff are extremely courteous and friendly and nothing would appear to be too much trouble. I will certainly be using both the take away and eat in services in the future. Well done Cauliflower!!!!”

“Proper fish and chip shop. Good kebabs, good chips. Staff are friendly and kind Their spiced potatoes are the best. Always going for them every time I order. The best potatoes I’ve had in ages Good place. Highly recommend.”
