Atmospheric lighting in Hornchurch

“I booked Shelley's for Fathers Day and was really pleased I did! I loved the new décor, especially the 'flower wall' and the beautiful mirrored pictures. The food was delicious and considering Shelley (the owner) was one man down (one of the chefs) on a busy day the service was impeccable. I ordered the chicken wings starters and lamb shank for main. All the food was piping hot and the lamb shank was so tender, it was falling off the bone. The side dishes was fairly generous! No request was too big for the waitress staff either. The restaurant was playing some fab tunes in the background, not too low and not too loud and there was plenty of room between tables, no over crowding and it was nice to walk outside if you needed some fresh air or a cigarette. I cannot wait to go back and try the pork belly and have a dessert this time (if I am not too full!) Thanks again for making Fathers day a hit for my dad and my boyfriend. Laura”

“There’s something about the garlic bread at Prezzo that makes you go wild. The combination of melted cheese, fragrant garlic and crispy bread is impossible to resist and is the best way to start off a meal. The Tre Gusti Pizza was delicious too, but I’m not sure it could beat the garlic bread!”

“Great new store in the area with excellent choices of kitchens and appliances. Super helpful and friendly staff.”

“As you maybe aware I’m a big foodie who loves dining out in the finest of restaurants. But when it comes to choosing wine we either go for the countries that we know or we leave it to the recommendations of the sommeliers. So with this in mind we wanted to broaden our horizons let’s say by learning more about wine in general ie taste , smell , tannins , acidity etc. with the additional knowledge of knowing what wine wine is good value for money and which style of wine goes with which style of food. So we gave it some thought and approached our good friend and drinks expert Alison Taffs at the Hop Inn Hornchurch our local micro pub to see what she thought and because it was only going to be the two of us if it would be worth her while. But after a little chat we discussed a budget so it would make her time and effort worthwhile. We gave her a couple of weeks to put together a format and gather some wines to taste and talk about. This led us to sunday when our tasting would take place. We arrived at the Hop Inn and our table was laid out in the corner. You could see straight away that Alison had put a lot of effort into this to which we were very grateful. She had laid out tasting note sheets , an iPad screen displaying various information and a list of the six wines we would be tasting. She decided that we should keep the discussion to european wines and in particular Portugal , France , Austria & Germany. Her knowledge was incredible as she guided us through the different stages of tasting wine. This begins with appearance which will include the colour. This is followed by smell , condition , intensity and the character. Then it’s time to taste to find out if the wine is sweet or dry as well as how much acidity , length , body and tannins. To finish you would decide what type of food you would match the wine with. We followed this by talking about pricing and what wines from specific regions when you look at a wine list are good value for money. This information really was invaluable and will certainly help us in the future. We’d personally like to thank Alison for a fabulous wine tasting afternoon. To listen to her knowledge and passion really was a pleasure and we definitely got more out of this than we first thought. I would highly recommend if your interested in wine to arrange a session yourselves whether your a couple like us or a larger group you will certainly benefit from her vast experience in the industry. We’re certainly looking forward to booking another session with her soon”

“I almost want to keep this place a secret because I have been here 3 times and it's been busier each time. Very nice food and atmosphere.”

“Very friendly locally owned business. Super breakfasts, the coffee always excellent. The selection of Welsh Rarebit variations in particular is very tasty.”

“We have been to this restaurant twice now and each time the service and friendly staff led by Sybil was fantastic. The team and Sybil are very attentive and the food is beautiful. The restaurant is clean very spacious and has beautiful decor . The prices are extremely competitive to other Turkish restaurants we have been too in Hornchurch. We live in Emerson park and this restaurant is very convenient to walk to. It surly is making an impact in Hornchurch as the restaurant was busy today . It is child friendly and there are disabled access and a disabled toilet . We sat outside and it was very hot sunshine but the canopies made good shade and comfortable seating. In fact we have booked again with Sybil today for the bank holiday weekend to go back as it is my wife’s birthday . We highly recommend this super restaurant. Thank you Sybil and team Ian & sharon”

“First time at Special Nails and won’t be my last! Was lovely chatting with Cang and I’ve never walked out a nail salon feeling so happy with my results, 10/10 would recommend!”

“Had a meal there just now and the food were Amazing.! The front of house team were very welcoming to everyone(Thanks Raigan and Jodie aka the Blond Girl). Fresh fishes and wonderful chefs and we will be for sure visiting soon.”

“Great night out, now go to the quiz night regularly and enjoy them even tho e do rubbish. Foods great especially for the price.”

“Wonderful service. Fantastic management and staff! The food and beverages are spot on. I've only been here a couple of times and already love the place.”

“I don’t usually leave reviews, but I had the best pasta dish I have ever eaten at Tarantinos this evening. Absolutely amazing flavours and big portions that didn’t lack quality - very fairly priced too. I highly recommend this restaurant and can’t wait to return to try more dishes on the menu! Thank you.”

“Only one other table eating when we arrived mid-afternoon for our first visit to Tunch Kitchen on a lovely bank holiday Monday. We ordered the Turkish wine, which was gorgeous and were given some tasty, warm flatbreads with dips (one garlic and one chilli). We ordered from the set two course menu at £9.50 per person. Each of the meals were really delicious and portions sizes were quite big. We were offered more bread and dips with the main and were given a complementary dessert to share. Theo, our waiter, was brilliant and the decor and ambience were great. Will definitely be going back again very soon!”

“Family of 7 very well looked after by nice friendly staff. Food all freshly cooked and delicious. Thanks we will be back!”

“Excellent choice of food and at good prices. Have been several times and always been good”

“Had my 60th birthday afternoon tea. My wife booked the place for us, family and friends. Couldn't be better. Food was great and the staff were first class. It made my birthday very memorable. Many thanks.”

“The Drill opened its doors again today and I just popped over for a couple of drinks and a meal, both of which were excellent! I can't wait to sample the whole menu in the future. The new and old staff were super friendly and the manager Wayne was very welcoming and was clearly running a well oiled machine. Their social distancing measures seemed to be working well and it felt like a safe environment to relax in. Being a pub garden fan though I was most impressed with their refurbished garden - outstanding! See you again soon!”

“Lovely place, very accommodating host, couldn’t do enough for us. Spotlessly clean, room on the smallish side but perfectly adequate, lovely bathroom. Food very good pub grub.”

“Fantastic night out last night. Would 100% recommend paying a visit. All of the staff are lovely and warm welcoming. Overall lovely bubbly environment to be in.”

“I purchased a large mirror from here and had it delivered the same day. The package was opened and checked upon arrival. Cannot fault the service and would def recommend a visit”

“Great songs, really knows how to get a crowd excited and dancing. Very friendly and reliable, highly recommend for all kinds of events!”
