Unique cafe in Hayes

“As a local, i really enjoy visiting Cafe Vaknat, it's such a lovely place. Staff are great and after recently trying the cheesecake i love it more! the cheesecake was so tasty and paired with a Latte it's even better! thanks! :-)”

“Lovely service upon arrival, all food packaged perfectly and food was still really hot when we got home! Thank you”

“Lovely calm atmosphere. Good food and friendly staff. Loved it here.”

“Great food, great service and a warm welcome. We had the vegetarian platter and it was delicious. The injera was lovely - light and fluffy. I have taken a couple of stars off for atmosphere - the lighting seemed very bright so a cafe atmosphere rather than a restaurant (to be fair, it does call itself a cafe, but the food was definitely restaurant quality) and the loo, while clean, had no paper or hand towels. This may have been because we arrived quite late and caught them on the hop.”

“I’m a daily customer going for a large cup of tea in the morning and evenings. The service is amazing, staff kind friendly and approachable. The menus is very good can find breakfast and light snack staples. Give them a try you won’t regret.”

“Had a lovely relaxed lunch here. The cafe is well run, had quick service and the staff were really friendly. There was a good range of sandwiches, hot lunces as well as hot and cold drinks. I had the vegetarian sausage bap, really impressed. Was tasty and hot.”

“A Taste of Eastern Europe at Galicja Feltham – 5/5 Tucked inside the friendly Load of Hay pub on Staines Road, Galicja Feltham is the real deal for authentic Polish and Ukrainian home cooking. Think rich, soul-warming borsch, perfectly plump pierogi and varenyky, sizzling grills, and generous portions that won’t break the bank. Everything tastes like it came straight from grandma's kitchen. The staff are warm and quick, the beers are cold, and the atmosphere is always buzzing. Best part? Every weekend turns into a proper party – live bands or DJs spinning Polish, Ukrainian, and international hits until late. Great food, great vibes, and dancing on the tables (if you’re brave enough). An absolute hidden gem in Feltham – I’m already planning my next visit!”

“Absolutely delicious. The food was hygenic and a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. i ordered a tuna and mayo baguette with hash brown and chips on the side which is quite honestly very cheap”

“This review is long, long overdue. I first visited the UK back in 2012. I was sightseeing when I came across this cafe. This was my first full day in London, and my first meal in the city, and it was very good. Seriously, it was exactly what I needed. The young woman who served me was very nice and she could tell by my Canadian accent that I was visiting. Fast-forward to 2018. This was my third time in London, but my second time eating here, and it looked better than before, and the food was even better, too. And to top it off, the same young woman was still working there, and she remembered me. I'll be returning to London next month, and I'll definitely be having breakfast here again!”

“Great Coffee; oatley oat milk, very fair prices”

“Nice place, you can relax and have a coffee while your little ones are playing, place is clean, staff is helpful and price is good…I really like it and recommend to everyone”

“The Nest climbing is a fantastic facility for your bouldering adventures. The staff and people make it a very friendly and welcoming place for climbers of all ages and skill levels to participate in the sport we love. There are a number of expert led small grouped classes to participate in between your time on the wall helping you build mobility and strength in order to progress in your climbs. I can recommend this place highly enough.”

“Brilliant range of beers. Very nice room for a craft ale pub.”

“Amazing bar. Real community feel, the owner Lou and all the staff are so friendly and make you feel very welcome from your first visit. The beer selection is great, and there is a fun atmosphere with the 'spin the wheel', themed nights and events. They are pet friendly and always have a great selection of music! Worth a visit.”

“Staff were friendly here and helpful. The food was very tasty but the portions could feed at least two people for one meal. If you have a layover in London and dont have time to see much this is a good place to go for the British experience.”

“We needed somewhere to celebrate a life. We were lucky enough to choose Lisa's bar at the Stockley Park Golf Clubhouse. They provided a really good buffet for around 100 guests. We were able to display some memories on a TV screen. The service and everything about the day made a very sad occasion as pleasant as possible. Staff were all great. Happily recommend for any occasion. Thank all involved.”

“Visited yesterday for the first time, we only live round the corner and had no idea it was here! Will definitely be a regular breakfast spot now. The breakfast was amazing, good quality ingredients and cooked perfectly and a good portion. My partner got my tea order wrong asking for milk in it, the girl behind the counter was happy to change it (thank you!) She was lovely, very polite and friendly. Lots of dog walkers passed by, seems a very dog friendly area which is nice, big park outside for running around. Overall a lovely little cafe. Parking was a little confusing, not sure if its because it looks like there is some rennovations being done next door the car park was closed off, but parked down the road and walked up, was only a minute away.”

“Just Wow...what an amazing pub. Arrived with 20 Sutton United fans for a pre FA Cup game. Was made to feel very welcome. Returned after...Great pub!”

“Our local Costa has been updated and is great!.... so much brighter and more cheerful! Nice to have different choices of seating too. The young guy who serves there is great, so polite and very helpful. Toilets could do with an upgrade now!”

“Walked into this gaff not knowing what to expect and ended up thinking I’d stumbled into one of them proper boozers we all used to haunt before everyone got obsessed with artisan lager and reclaimed wood tables. This place is the real deal. Big, roomy, clean as a whistle and full of the sort of decent people who look like they know how to enjoy themselves without turning the whole place into a circus. I drifted in quiet as a ghost, keeping myself to myself, the way a man does when he just wants a peaceful pint without getting dragged into a three-hour chat about football transfers. Early afternoon, hardly a soul about. Even the barman gave me that look you give a fella you’re not entirely sure walked in through the door or just materialised beside the pumps. Perfect. Just how I like it. Once you take it all in, you realise the place has that old-school charm you can’t build from scratch. It feels like the sort of joint where blokes in the early 90s would crowd round the fruit machine, give each other dodgy betting tips and swear blind they were going home after “one more”. There’s space everywhere you turn. No shoulder-barging. No squeezing past people like you're on the Tube at rush hour. Just room to sit, think, sip and breathe. The beer garden is a treat as well. Plenty of spots for whatever mood you’re in. Out with mates, catching up over a round? Sorted. Want somewhere quiet to park yourself and stare meaningfully into your pint like you’re the troubled side character in a gritty ITV drama? Also sorted. Hayes did not disappoint on that front. First time visiting Hayes and if this is the standard of their pubs then I must have been living under a rock. I’ll be back, pint in hand, probably still lurking in that same quiet corner wondering where this place has been all my life.”

“Extremely nice staff, wonderful and caring service. Lovely calm atmosphere for an enjoyable and tasty breakfast and lunch at low cost but never compromising on high quality food. Try for yourself ...trust me you will never be disappointed. Staff are very lovely and caring to their disabled customers especially who struggle to go out alone. But here the staff help you to relax and never judge you.”

“Couldn't fault the rooms. Rooms are massive especially the disabled ones... with mum having MS. Staff friendly service and brought mum extra blanket... The one downside the duvets could be alittle more warmer.... Reason for the 2 stars the location. If staying in london for more than a week and no transport its a problem as its right near healthrow airport. But thankfully the coach is within the bungle to london on the hols!”

“This is our new go to place for coffee and cakes in the evening especially on Saturdays. We tried chai latte and few other coffee or frappes , all were tasty. Staffs are very friendly and helpful. If it’s crowded, takes time to deliver but mostly quick service we got. They got drive through as well. Plenty of seating area and parking. You can sit as much as you want, and enjoy talking with friends and families. Worth visiting here.”

“Doesn’t look like much but best curry I’ve had. They are also super friendly in here. People just chat to you it’s really nice and such a change from the norm for me coming from central. Cheap as chips here for drinks too you get change from a tenner for two pints!”

“Great service! Such a welcoming place with smiling faces all around. They even adjusted the coffee blend to suit my preferences, which was a lovely touch. Special thanks to Jenit, Mash, and Abishek for treating us so well. Really appreciate the effort — I’ll definitely be popping in more often!”

“Nice environment for a family meal. Reasonably priced. Food was tasty and service was excellent. Our waitress was friendly, chatty and very helpful. Definitely recommend it.”
