Small Talk Tearooms Romford

"We have been here before, when we come to romford, we had the the a classic cream tea ,that is very good and in a great setting, it's one of our favourite place. The staff are very helpful and do a great job a big thanks to all the staff ,will be back again"

"A great selection of teas on offer. However, I think the flavours were muted/hard water taste due to the local tap water. Maybe worth experimenting with different types of water, filtered, mineral vs tap. This may introduce an extra cost. I'd be happy to pay it."

"Vintage atmosphere that takes you back in time. The staff is very welcoming and friendly. The food is nice, cakes are delicious."

"Great little place with great service! They do have vegan/dairy-free options but would have loved to be able to have the vegan scones without pre-ordering them. Will be back to try their vegan afternoon tea (£30 for 2 people)."

"Came across this tearoom on Google and decided to check it out because it had good reviews. I rang up and booked in for the afternoon tea, which I had to pay a £10 deposit for, which gets taken off the bill. I told them that my guest doesn’t eat fish, so could they have chicken instead of salmon, but I would still have the salmon sandwiches and they said that was fine. When we turned up, they first sat us at the wrong table and we had to move. Then when they bought out the afternoon tea, they had bought out the following sandwiches: egg & cress, chicken & Mayo, ham & cucumber. They had given us both chicken sandwiches, when I had told them I wanted salmon when I booked and the chicken was for my guest; so I had to ask for the salmon ones for myself, which they bought over a few minutes later. They got my tea order wrong, I ordered chai tea and they gave me a green tea, which you can see in the picture. I had to go up to the counter and ask for the correct tea, which they bought out a few minutes after but they forgot to bring me milk, so I had to ask for that aswell. Sandwiches were nice and soft. Scones were warm but bone dry. Cakes were also dry/stale; they also only gave 1 of each cake, so we had to cut each one in half ourselves. I wouldn’t come back here again for afternoon tea - the only good thing was the sandwiches. The service was too disorganised. Giving them 2 stars because the decor is very pretty & cosy, and the afternoon tea for 2 was cheap (£30 in total for 2 people)."
