Evening in Romford

“Review during Lockdown, July 2020: Almost felt like normal to go back to a pub again. Lovely welcome at the door from member of staff who was the monitor. The young chap explained the way it works of how to order through app. Some issues of some of the tables not appearing in the app or tickets not being closed but as this a new process for everyone quite understandable and staff kept their cool so customer service was of high level. They have tables outside - front and back. Would recommend booking if there is more than 2 of you. If you are not appy savy or the app doesn't work they still allow you to order from the bar as the app is not perfect and receipts are slow to be processed. Otherwise its super clean at all times and social distancing is being adhered to if you are looking for safe pub visit for punters of all ages over 18. They have one way system and show which tables are clean for use, just make sure your table isn't blocked for pre-booking to avoid being moved as the seating is cleaned down again. Sanitising stations available and toilets were clean during our visit. 3rd August: Archers is taking part in the Eat out to help out so don't delay...book ahead or if your local then just stop by if the app isn't working. First night out and its sad to see not many people taking up this offer but hoping people will take the plunge and get back to "normal" as its not heaving like most people believe it will be. Archers even give you the VAT off your drinks! How much more of a bargain can you get! Tables are kept clean and toilets have a system if you are worried. Have a night out and support your local pubs :)”

“Extremely friendly, chatty, happy, lively and caring staff. Sarah especially. Its an old traditional pub. I can taste they clean the pipes regularly so the alcohol taste fresh, other pubs don't clean often and can notice the difference. I will definitely be returning due to great customer service and atmosphere.”

“My girlfriend arranged a surprise 50th Birthday Party here last weekend and we had a fantastic evening. The food and staff was amazing all night long. The venue was the perfect size for the party and a lot of effort was made by everyone especially Mario and Lilly the owners. Thank yo for a great night to remember.”

“Great place, a hidden gem!! Ordered the chicken tikka roll, tandoori, mushroom rice they were delicious!! Would definitely order again and recommend to friends and family. Delivery time was great, really fast and friendly staff!! Perfect meal for a having a night in!! :) Thanks Bayleaf for some great food!!”

“This is my absolute favorite restaurant in Romford. The food is always fantastic and no matter what I order I am always delighted with my meal! Waiters are also great and always efficient, happy and polite. Can’t wait to return and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend to anyone looking for somewhere to eat in Romford. P.S : Please Keep the European Menu.”

“Fantastically delicious food. Perfectly cooked chicken döner. Highly recommend.”

“Absolutely delicious! Whenever I visit a friend who lives near this takeaway, we always order from here and I've never been disappointed. Don't know whether it's got anything to do with this place being near London (than where I live), but I can honestly say that it's the BEST Indian takeaway I've EVER had. 5 stats.”

“Fantastic pub! Was here for our Arsenal Women pre match 05.02.23!… Venue was excellent! Very friendly and welcoming from staff and locals engaged in many conversations! Thank you.”

“Dj was brilliant good singers good music nice people and staff”

“I visited The Bull for the first time today. The occasion was taking a relative out to celebrate her birthday. The staff were welcoming,helpful and friendly. The food was excellent and the environment pleasing and comfortable. I shall definitely be going back in the near future. Thank you.”

“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!”

“These guys have helped me out several times when I've been in a bind. Quick to help, reasonable prices and great customer service. Can't recommend them enough,”

“Had all the products I was after and the prices were very reasonable. Helpful staff and quick check out.”

“Excellent stocks , pleasant place to shop with helpful staff”

“One of my favourite restaurants in Stratford! It is delicious and affordable, the staff are super friendly, and it's HMC!! I would definitely recommend it.”

“The only place that sells trousers in perfect size for shorter women where one does not have to cut them down. Store is nice and clean everything in order always .The ladies in their are ever so helpful and ever so polite. You get a bonus card which helps a great deal.”

“What can I say, all employees in this store work through stress with the masses of flowing customers come into and out of the shop. Although, they all have delivered very satisfactory customer service and I hope they are all well recognized by their management team. Shout out to a store assistant there called Dylan who I observed and delivered one of the best, confident customer service experiences ever to his customers. I was even proud of a worker called Johnny, with not even words to describe his brilliant performance as working as a team player. Kudos to this Primark team, wish them all the best!”

“Brilliant, friendly and extremely accommodating staff. Happily served us a few mins before closing time, and opened up the facilities for us even though they had finished cleaning up.”

“Nachos and pasta are one of my favourites. Rest everything is delicious too. Love the ambience.”

“30 years ago on 16th October 1992, me and my husband had our wedding reception here. We had a great time. Today 30 years later, to the day, we chose to celebrate our anniversary here. I have to say I am so glad we did. I booked the table on line, (how technology has come on in all that time!) We arrived and were greeted by a young lady who just beamed a huge smile. She found our table for us and I was touched by the reserved label with my name and anniversary written on it. Another young lady (i think the manager) came to our table, again with a lovely beaming smile, and a candle, which she explained she had wanted to place on our table before we arrived. Another really sweet touch. She explained that there was no longer table service but she wanted to do table service for us. We felt really pampered. What a treat. We were looked after from start to finish, smiles all the time.. checking to make sure all was well. The food was lovely, the girls were wonderful, going above and beyond to make sure our anniversary was celebrated in style. We were most touched by being invited to have a look upstairs where we had our reception all those years ago! It was quite surreal, and I felt quite emotional. We would just like to say a huge thank you for such a wonderful, friendly, welcoming visit. 10/10 From Sharmayne and Les”

“An underrated store in my opinion. So many times I have gone in here and found what I need, often at a much better price. Best example being Cuprinol Shades paint - was £4 for a tiny tester pot in b&q and I think we bought multiple 1 litre tins of paint for £6! Got the garden fences done for an absolute bargain!”

“A lovely lady called Sharlet displayed excellent customer service and made me feel like a valued customer going out of her way to ensure that my coupons went through and that my refund for an item I didn't get but payed for was done smoothly that is true customer service. Amazing example for the lidl brand.”

“Food usually lovely! however delivery driver has severly let you down this evening, and you have lost a substantial order.”

“This is one of the best Chinese restaurants I’ve found in Romford in 15 years. The food is of excellent quality. I’ve become addicted. Been 5 times in the last 3 weeks. Thoroughly recommended.”

“Really nice atmosphere, clean environment lovely helpful staff .had the peri chicken was so tender and juicy had a pizza was cooked to perfection and do try the mojito”

“Just a nice place really...... and they have some great music too !!”

“Food is always hot and delicious, Its good value and friendly service. I would recommend the 10 piece that's what I get for my family and it feeds us all.”
