The 20 Best Quick lunch in Upminster

“Just come home, what a fantastic meal we had, everything from food, service and atmosphere was all perfect! Not sure how long this little gem has been here but 100% recommend and will be back, 2 courses and a bottle of wine about £65pp and we have enough food for dinner tomorrow which we was able to box up. So impressed thank you!”

“We were welcomed on entering by Costa Vishal and Arizona they were extremely helpful and polite and made us feel special especially as my brother has recently had his cataract operated on and wasn’t feeling too good it made him feel much better. Thank you so very much x”

“think this is one of the best Costa Coffee outlets in the Havering area of outer London. It is run with super efficiently and a lot of care is taken to meet any special requests such as extra hot etc etc I do not know how long the young lady whose name i understand is Valentina has been at Costa but she certainly seems to be very experienced.She stays calm and organised even when it is very busy. I like to give praise where praise is deserved and she certainly deserves it. She has the perfect manner for dealing with the public and makes the minimum fuss about it. A credit to Costa ! Her colleagues are very good too and no doubt are recipients of good advice from Valentina. Thank you Paul”

“We ordered sushi on the website and by accident I placed the order twice. The restaurant kindly called me to clarify which I really appreciate. The food quality was amazing, and the portions good. We were pleasantly surprised to find two mochis as a thank you for the order :). We will definitely order from them again!”

“Wow what a little Gen, wife suggested here as she goes with colleagues for lunch. Best eggs benedict I have ever had. Staff are fantastic and the place is spotless. Thank you so much, we will be back again. Xx”

“I contacted the Tea Cosy for catering for my Baby Shower. Wonderful service great communication and the food was amazing, delivered straight to my door. Thank you again Tea Cosy!”

“Excellent cafe. Really warm welcome from friendly and efficient staff. Massive menu of the usual cafe items with some nice Mediterranean/Turkish elements. I had the Mediterranean Omelette and it was really tasty with nice fresh salad”

“Only had a cheese and tomato toasties but it was red hot and tasty as ever. The wife had apple pie with custard and she thought it was gorgeous. Very friendly staff and well priced”

“This is a family run restaurant. It’s been going for a long long time. . When we lived in Upminster we were frequent visitors and on a return visit we were excited to go back after 7 years. The food was as excellent as it always had been. One of our party was vegetarian and instead of being an after thought on the menu she was told everything came as a vegetarian option. I had forgotten how great they are on vegetable dishes, everything tastes and is recognisable as what it is. I love this consistently great restaurant. I would say we had visited 100 times before moving away and never had a bad meal. Delighted to return and find it hasn’t changed. I’ve literally been dreaming about the meal we had.”

“I must say we had the best cod and chips from here tonight. Wasn't sure initially thought it was more of a kebab outlet. But pleasantly surprised. Even our usually fussy cat couldn't leave it alone. 10/10”

“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.”

“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!”

“Great place to order a breakfast either to eat it or delivered to your home.”

“Regularly lovely service, especially from a young Romanian lady. She always remembers my order.”

“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!”

“Very nice food. I ordered from them already 3 times for collection. I can recommend it. Yummy food.”

“Probably the best chinese takeaway in the area. The quality of food is amazing, and the taste is second to none. I occasionally try Chinese from other places but they always leave me disappointed when compared to here. Tasty noodles, amazing chicken satay, satay sauce is 5* on its own. You can guarantee anything you try from here will leave you wanting more. Friends who aren't from the UK always say this is the best Chinese they've ever had. Delivery is very quick and always arrives within 1/2 hour of ordering. If you want a tasty Chinese, look no further! Last ordered on Thursday 12 December 2024!”

“On the way to the coast, past London, near the M25, lies this charming café in a beautiful little garden center. The food selection is limited, but very tasty and freshly prepared.”

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I have to give a huge shoutout to Hafiza at Pizza Hut in Rainham – she is absolutely amazing! Every time she’s working, the food is consistently fresh, perfectly made, and exactly how I like it. Having worked at Pizza Hut as a RGM for 3 years, I can confirm I know my product quality and standards. She genuinely goes above and beyond to make sure the order is spot on, and you can really tell she takes pride in what she does. Honestly, I try to only order when Hafiza is working because the quality and care she puts in just can’t be matched. Maybe she can train the boys as their pizzas just aren’t at the same level. Hafiza is the reason I keep coming back – Pizza Hut Rainham is lucky to have her!”

“I used Brooklyn tonight, this was a recommendation from a work colleague, food was amazing, not greasy and we will Definitely be going back - my son said it was one of the best burgers he had had !!”

“Great food, friendly people and they offer a 20% if you collect”

“Great food, speedy delivery, very consistent. We have used this takeaway for over 3 years now by ordering through 'JustEat', and have never had any issues to date.”
