Quick lunches in Wallington

“Good quality fresh cod & chips. Best in area, although Cod is not cheap, not just here but everywhere”

“Its a delightful cafe, and we visited on the day of the Farmers Market so plenty to look at while seated. It has seating both inside and out, and service while not being particularly quick (one service counter so if coffees ahead of you slows progress) was friendly and helpful.”

“Excellent Srilankan and Indian food Recommended by a friend and this place did full justice. The food was fresh, hospitality was excellent. Friendly staff. My Favourite was the King Prawn and the mutton devil. Worth the try. Full of flavours. Chicken 65 is very nice. Mutton and chicken Biryani had good taste. The Mutton roll was lovely Ended up with a special sweet called Vattalappam. I took a bottle of whisky to drink and small charges. Definitely coming back to try more!”

“The owners are warm and welcoming, really nice people - and the food is amazing! The gourmet cheeseburger was absolutely delicious and I got a huge portion of perfectly cooked chips. One of the best burgers I've had in London! Super-affordable too.”

“one of the best peri peri chicken I've ever had!”

“If you're looking for a delightful dog-friendly café in Hackbridge, this spot is an absolute gem.

“Great little cafe serving a wonderful and fresh breakfast. Good quality produce. There was a slight delay, but was made up by a quality breakfast.”

“I pretty much live off pizza, usually have atleast 1 a week, was told by friends to try this new indian pizza fusion place, was sceptical at first...but WOW! dont know what sauce they are using but hands down best pizza i have tasted in yrs waaay better then pizza hut, pizza express and the other franchises you can taste the difference in the quality of the ingredients...this is now my go to pizza joint, jalfrezi pizza the best one...staff are also always welcoming and helpful when i call and go to pick up”

“I have been ordering from them for over a decade now, and the food is consistently good and very reasonable. I highly recommend the Jade Dragon Special Crispy Noodles, which has an assortment of vegetables and several meats and a house special sauce completes the dish, a complete meal in itself for under £7. The prawn crackers are fresh and flavourful, and they've been very kind and helpful when I was convalescing and needed dishes tailored. Always delivered cheerfully, no matter the weather (thank you!).”

“My family and I have been going here for around 15 years and despite the ownership changing, it feels the same. Typical cafe with great food done quick with a smile. Can’t see me going to any other cafe as long as Rumblin Tumms are in business. Thank you for the great service and food you have given our family over the last 15 or so years❤️”

“Fantastic Chinese. Only one we ever order from. I use to live in Singapore as a child, so was brought up on Chinese food. This Chinese gives excellent service, food and value for money.”

“Service was great, team friendly and polite. And a great coffee with atmosphere. Many locals return, not so sure on the bad reviews.”

“This well loved Café has a new operator and refreshed menu. We really enjoyed our visit the Chili was excellent, soup very nice with granary bread, the special hot dog was smaller than I expected but very tasty with the onions, mustard and ketchup. All staff cared and went beyond to help and advise. Well done everyone at the Pavilion!”

“18/12/25….As well as my usual lovely cuppa or coffee - I sampled their chicken, bacon & pesto warmed/toasted baguette… full of flavour. Highly recommend it. The staff (Vik & Prizam) -excellent - as always very friendly, welcoming & amenable, credit to the shop … I personally think it should be busier than it is.”

“Have used this place many times over the years. Never disappointed. Always a polite and helpful service. I always call them directly rather than using the other middle man platforms. Food is great, with a free bombay potato dish with orders over a certain amount. My own personal favourite being lamb nagga with sag also and mushroom rice. Always nicely flavoured and generous portions. Mr Nagga”

“Lovely coffee good service and usually nice and clean. Great little Caffe Nero!”

“I’ve been visiting here for over 15 years atleast and even now I have moved out of the area, if I am craving a curry I will drive all the way. The best ever!”

“Lovely coffee. And lovely friendly staff ☺️”

“I don’t usually write reviews for supermarkets, but I felt compelled to share my consistently excellent experience at the Tesco Express in Wallington. This little store has become an absolute staple in my daily routine, and it’s not just about convenience — it’s about quality, cleanliness, service, and reliability. From the moment you step in, the store feels well-organized and welcoming. Despite being a smaller format store, they make incredibly smart use of the space. The aisles are always neat and tidy, and the layout is intuitive — I never feel like I’m wandering around aimlessly trying to find something. Whether I need fresh fruit and veg, a quick meal deal, or some essentials for dinner, I can always count on finding what I need here. One of the standout features of this location is how fresh everything is. The produce section is surprisingly well-stocked and the items are always in great condition — ripe bananas, crisp apples, and vibrant salad greens. The shelves are regularly replenished, and I’ve rarely come across anything out of stock. But what truly sets this store apart is the staff. Every single team member I’ve encountered has been genuinely friendly and helpful. Whether it’s a quick chat at checkout or someone helping me locate a specific item, the service always feels personal and positive. There’s a real community vibe here, and it’s clear the staff take pride in making customers feel welcome. Shout-out especially to the evening staff, who always handle the busy post-work rush with a smile and efficiency. The self-checkout machines are usually all up and running, and there’s always someone nearby if you need help. It makes popping in for a quick shop incredibly smooth and stress-free. Plus, the store is consistently clean and well-maintained — floors spotless, baskets stacked, and fridges humming along quietly. In short, this Tesco Express is a shining example of how a small store can offer big value. It’s convenient, well-stocked, clean, and run by genuinely lovely people. Whether you’re doing a mini shop or grabbing a few items on the go, you’ll walk out with exactly what you need — and probably in a better mood than when you came in. Wallington is lucky to have this gem! Highly recommend to locals and passers-by alike. Five stars, no hesitation.”
