Rustic internals in London

“What looks both from the outside and the inside like a standard greasy spoon cafe in fact serves the most fantastic food For breakfast and lunch with a very friendly owner, a dedicated team of staff and is spotlessly clean. My veggie option for £10 had two poached eggs on mashed avocado on sourdough, old style baked beans, a piece of hash brown, mushrooms, halloumi and a good size fresh salad. Unbelievably good. My friend had roast beef and Yorkshire pudding and described it as absolutely perfect With the meat being very tender.”

“Stayed here last weekend and had a few drinks in the bar. Nice quant hotel room, had no issues with parking or noise.”

“A bit hidden of main road, its next to selco.”

“Hands down the best tortillas in all of London, and best tacos de carnitas too! Handmade blue corn tortillas really make the taco, and the fillings don’t disappoint. We tried tinga de pollo, pollo con mole, and chicharrón prensado. All of them were really good, but the absolute best were the tacos de carnitas. Deliciously moreish, so good we had to take some home, along with a couple dozen tortillas and salsa. Tere kindly packed carnitas and toppings for us, which we had today at home. And now I’m completely hooked, I’ll have go back for more soon. If you have a gathering at home (from a few guests to a big party), you can preorder tortillas, fillings, and toppings and you’ll impress everyone. The service is warm and attentive, and Tere makes everyone’s visit special. ¡Gracias! P.S. I’m from Mexico City. Some reviews have been critical of the ambience and waiting times. This is a market food stall, like the best ones in Mexico City, and there’s a special charm in that. As for waiting times, they are quite quick for London, way faster than any pub. Update: visited again for the special Dia de Muertos menu. Spectacular pozole, tamales, and agua de horchata.”

“Thursday Supper Night Super under-marketed and wholly tasty. We saw through a Facebook post that there was a supper evening and very happy that we booked All dishes were very tasty, beautiful presentation and obviously cooked by someone who knows food and flavour.”

“Such a lovely local restaurant. Very cozy atmosphere, friendly owners and the food is just incredible! Better than in Vietnam!”

“We’ve been coming to Le Moulin for some fifteen years and have never been disappointed. We’ve ordered the most beautiful celebratory cakes and the pastries at this lovely little patisserie are exquisite. The cafe has a lovely homely atmosphere and the owners are always welcoming. We have tried many other menu items and they are always well prepared. We love the charm of Le Moulin and always look forward to returning.”

“I went here a while back and got some of the best (believe it or not) scrambled eggs on toast. The owner is so lovely and friendly, let us stay longer than we should have (without us realising sorry) and had a nice conversation. All round great vibes and food, would recommend!”

“Finally managed to try this restaurant after living in the area for over a year. It's highly recommended by the local community and has won a number of awards over the years. All very well deserved. It was a lovely experience, it felt like being in your friend's living room. We were made to feel at home and ate a delicious meal at the end of a really tiring week. I can't wait to go back.”

“I’ve spent a wonderful evening dining at Gola with my italian friends. The menu proposes a real selection of italian dishes which are excellently reproduced and served in a surprising plate up, as you can see from the pictures. We finally get to try the famous Cacio & Pepe by Gola which didn’t disappoint me and my italian friends. Another must-try is the Orecchiette alle cime di rapa; and as starters the Focaccia, the Fried polenta and the Burrata. We also tasted a bottle of Southern Italian red wine which was kindly suggested by the staff, since the wine selection is pretty good and it was hard to make a choice. The staff and the service in general were very welcoming in respect of true italian tradition. I totally recommend this place to everyone that appreciate the real italian cuisine and culture, for a dinner between friends, family or with a loved one. The menu also proposes vegan options and the restaurant is children and pet friendly. I will surely come back to have again some wonderful pasta and to try the meat-based dishes which sounded amazing too.”

“What a great place to eat, we were a party of 4 and one of out party was from Argentina so I wanted an authentic experience which we got! The owner has their own range of Malbec which goes superbly with the various cuts of meat cooked to perfection! If you love steak, you definitely have to visit this place!”

“Most delicious food and service with a smile. I was on my own and got seated straight away on a Saturday evening. The lime and lychee mocktail is delicious and the steak main was just perfect. Dessert was amazing. The restaurant packed out soon after me so I got there just at the right time. Will be visiting again. Great halal food.”

“This place never fails to deliver quality at all levels. Their food is stunning and very very reasonably priced. The sharing taco platter with two drinks was £30 and was plenty enough for 2 people. The service was rapid and attentive but not overbearing. The whole place is really vibrant and well decorated. This is by far my favourite place in Guildford.”

“A lovely, cosy little place tucked next to Russell Square. The food was excellent, fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. Prices were reasonable, especially for central London. The staff were warm and welcoming, creating a relaxed and friendly atmosphere. A great recommended spot!”

“The best apple pie I have ever eaten. Fantastic service and great prices. A large selection of hot and cold food and drink to eat-in or take away. Definitely worth a visit.”

“The Garden Coffee Shop & Diner is a delightful find — cozy, welcoming, and full of charm. From the moment I walked in, the friendly staff made me feel right at home. The menu has something for everyone, whether you're after a hearty breakfast, a light lunch, or just a great cup of coffee. I had the smoked haddock, and it was cooked to perfection — fresh, tasty, and beautifully presented. The portions are generous and the prices are very reasonable. What really sets this place apart is the atmosphere — it’s relaxed and inviting, with a real community feel. You can tell it’s run with care and love. I’ll definitely be back soon. Highly recommend!”

“Good old fashioned pub that seems to draw in a friendly Irish crowd too, as the night we went there were mostly Irish gentlemen sitting at the bar. The bar staff are pleasant and friendly, and there is a respect of first come first served at the bar, so no one jumps ahead of you, which sadly seems to be lost in a lot of places. A great pub for a local drink or to start the night, and even if you stay you'd have a great time too! A well run pub and we'll definitely be back”

“My favourite café in Welwyn! I’ve eaten here many times, the staff are always friendly and welcoming and the food is always good quality with generous portions. I’ve brought family and friends here who are also returning customers. Plenty of parking locally, if you are looking for a lovely breakfast / lunch spot look no further than Trio!”

“Been meaning to leave a review for a very long time, however managed to forget..probably due to the fantastic friendly service we always receive from the team. We are always welcomed with open arms and the team bend over backwards to accommodate us. I must shout out the whole team… they’re all amazing… however, Becks has served us since we first started coming here, since moving in locally, before Jason the Head Chef joined, she was the main reason for our return. Jason joined, the food has been out of this world… I would recommend the roasts - they’re delicious! The beef is served pink and the vegetables are cooked perfectly and well seasoned. It’s always a pleasure coming to visit The Black Horse and we cannot recommend it enough. Final shout out to Becks, Jason… our favourites… and of course Harry, Layla, Ben, Jess, Jack and Ollie. ❤️❤️❤️”

“We had phenomenal lunch at the Anchor. The food was stunning and offered amazing value. The smoked salmon tartlets and the braised pork belly were particular highlights. The cooking was superb, everything was seasoned so well and the presentation was beautiful. Can’t wait to return”

“Lovely little restaurant within the garden centre. We did book ahead but there was a few tables available. Everything was clean and tidy with great food, the only recommendation is to have a better choice of tea options but that’s just being picky. Great tasting food.”

“A very unique pub. Perfect for those who don't like child friendly gastropubs. Dogs are more welcome than people!! Proper pub, no food...”

“A great pub in lovely country surroundings. They had indoor and outdoor seating. They came to our table to take our order, but also had an app. The staff are really friendly, it’s clean and roomy. For hiking, it was wonderful to have this pub on route. I would definitely recommend coming here.”

“The Windmill Pub, Chipperfield has truly been transformed since its new owners, Adam & Clare took over some weeks ago. Greeted by friendly staff, warm atmosphere accompanied by candles and fresh flowers on the tables really makes a difference , and the food—absolutely fantastic. Every dish feels thoughtfully crafted, full of flavour, and beautifully presented. You can really tell the new team cares about quality and customer experience. It’s definitely a places to relax, enjoy a great meal, and feel right at home. Highly recommended!”

“Excellent country pub with a fantastic selection of real ales. Plenty of seating inside and outside. Very freindly staff and owner. Highly recommend a visit.”

“Popped in last night for dinner with friends. Lovely location with plenty of parking. Bar staff were lovely, big smiles and kind and courteous at all times. Food was classic pub fare but done very well. My brie burger was superbly cooked and the risotto is to be recommended also. Will definitely be returning, hopefully to try the great value Sunday roast.”

“I stopped in here last Saturday for a pint on my way to an event and it was heaving. Even though it was busy the staff were coping well; still smiling and friendly; served quickly and efficiently. There was a good, welcoming vibe and the selection on tap was an interesting range - we had a cherry melon cider! We didn’t eat here but the food we saw looked good and the toilets were clean. Would love to come back when they have live music events - happy to recommend!”

“Nice selection of beers including gluten-free. The Atmosphere is excellent, no TV's to disturb you and your friends. No food is served here, but you can bring food in. Dog friendly, and those little things called baby's.”

“The Bull Inn is renowned for its Sunday roast, and it's no surprise that the pork dish left you impressed with its delicious flavor. It's a testament to their commitment to serving quality food, making it a great spot for a satisfying meal.”
