Gathering with friends in Welling

“Had an egg mayo sandwich with a latte. Both were delicious and the latte was beautifully creamy. The owners are super nice also, and everything is reasonably priced.”

“Have driven past many times and wanted to come in so did so today. We fancied a milkshake so we ordered 2 delicious Kinder Bueno shakes. They were lovely. The staff were nice and the place had a good vibe. I especially enjoyed the music choice (Linkin' Park and The Rasmus!!) But don't worry it's not too loud! Will happily return to try the food next time.”

“Fantastic little find. Descended on this gem with a double buggy and 4 hot and hangry children ranging from 1 to 14 years old. Staff were friendly, food was really yummy, and great prices. All 5 of us were fed and had sufficient drinks on £37! Service is not included on the bill so make sure to bring some change. Staff definitely deserve it!”

“This is really good place for bubble tea and there was one staff I think his name is yeamin , he is really good staff and smiling person. We need employees like him every where. Thanks Yeamin for yours bubble tea . It’s really good.”

“Very professional people. The MOT price is reasonable and they are very helpful whenever I have a issue with my car”

“I recommend i was the first time I have finally found a proper barber shop after 6 years”

“The best mini store I could have in my neighbourhood. The owner is very nice and helpful!!”

“Great service, castle was spot on and the didicars were a great addition. Kids had a blast which is the main thing.”

“Had some treatment done here recently to remove some worts on my face. The clinic was recommended to me by a friend after I was struggling to find a decent clinic that would provide a professional service and not overcharge. Skin rich provides a course of treatment based on individual needs with follow up & also advise on skin care and facial products according to your skin type. I found them to be very professional and knowledgeable as well as being really nice people. They gave me a very warm welcome at my initial consultation which put me at ease straight away. The clinic itself is also very professional looking so you do really get what you pay for! I would highly recommend.”

“I took up salsa lessons 7 months ago ,I've become addicted to it my first teachers are Heidi and Trever from Sweetlead on a Wednesday evening, I also go to other classes on a Thursday evening and Friday evening to get more practice and floor time .I can honestly say that sweetlead is the best class to go to the Teachers have more time for you and the atmosphere is far better than the other classes I've attended . Thank you Sweetlead Paul Young”

“The best gym in the area. Since its reopening, I have joined the club and have to admit it is simply the best in the area. Super friendly management and staff, great amenities (lots of recent equipment for all kind of practice - cardio, weights, classes - pool, sauna and a lovely chill area), very clean and maintained. Members are also nice people and working out in a good atmosphere absolutely no show off, no one judging each other - everyone is welcome and it feels like it.”

“Really good quality sushi and really friendly and helpful staff. I got the deluxe platter for my two friends and I and it was more than enough food for the three of us. If I’m in the area again, I will be making another visit for a take away for sure.”

“First time visiting with a friend. Great coffee and the Cypriot Sausage and Halloumi panini was delicious. Will definitely visit again.”

“Lovely place me and my partner ordered from, the chips are lovely and the burger is really nice. So glad we went here even the staff and owner is very nice”

“We’ve been coming to Haywards for almost ten years now and despite many changes to staff in the kitchen and front of house the standards have never dropped. Under the guidance of owners Amanda and Jahdre they have still manage to produce amazing food with friendly and professional service. Our latest visit was Saturday lunchtime where on arrival we received a lovely welcome from Amanda before she escorted us to our customary table 10. After a little catch up she told us that Jahdre had created for us a special menu that would showcase all the new dishes on the menu. This was a fabulous gesture and one we gladly accepted. We started with homemade Granary Sourdough bread and a selection of snacks including a cauliflower cheese veloute , harissa arancini , goat’s cheese and tomato canneloni. This led us to out first course a Chicken and Ham Hock Terrine with celeriac remoulade , toasted brioche and a homemade piccalilli. This was followed by the Fillet of Pollock with a crab bisque , hispi cabbage. and parsnips. Both dishes were an absolute delight and the flavours complimented each other perfectly. Amanda paired the courses with a Framingham 2021 Riesling from New Zealand. We now moved onto the main course which was a heavenly and rich Braised Pork Cheek with a white bean cassoulet and gremolata topped with a piece of pork crackling. This was paired with a Grand Garant 2020 Fleurie from France. We decided to follow this with a Cheese Course. We then finished with dessert which was a Chocolate Mousse with mascarpone sorbet , coffee cremaux and lime gel a twist on a tiramisu. The pairing for this dessert was a beautiful Australian Muscat from the Rosewood Vineyards that tasted like a light pedro ximinez. Apparently we wasn’t finished there as chef Jahdre sent out an Orange Soufflé with grand marnier caramel and cinnamon ice cream. This was a delight and the flavour combinations worked perfectly together. A coffee and petit fours brought to an end another fabulous dining experience at Haywards with fantastic food , perfect wine pairings and great service. If i ever needed another reason why i think this is the best restaurant in Essex then today’s visit did everything to enhance that. Looking forward to many more visits this year which will at some point include our 150th. Thank You Amanda and Jahdre for a fantastic lunch and look forward to seeing you again soon.”

“Did the catering for my engagement. Everybody loved the food and the service was great. The garam monthar is out of this world. I ate it for 4 days straight after the event. The bateta nu saak and undhiyo received many compliments. The daar was perfect in terms of the consistency and flavour.”

“Really excellent food & the staff are great!”

“Brilliant coffee shop. Great coffee and very friendly service. They also hold evening events, which are great fun. Top place”

“I love the people who work here. They are happy, talkative and ready to help in any way they can. I also really like the fact that this is a small business, not a chain. I feel like I am supporting the little guy when I give my money to them.”

“Good coffee and %20 off for NHS! Win!”

“Best cafe in the neighbour. Also vegan friendly! A cafe with great food, coffee and conversation.”

“Always a great cafe for breakfast!”

“The Taste Coffee shop is a small and cosy cafe or restaurant, which has a very appealing menu and a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are friendly and helpful. I had a delicious and well served vegetarian lunch just before Christmas. I would definitely recommend a visit.”

“We had a lovely time, the service was personal and brilliant. Food, exceptionally good. I would suggest making a booking as it was really busy all the time we were there. I would definitely recommend Bojangles.”

“Great service and excellent Malbec. We didn't try the significant collection of gins but will do in future . Smiling and friendly staff. Local clients which have a sense of community..dogs allowed and welcome. I will be back !”

“Great friendly atmosphere good choice of drinks”

“One of the best bubble tea stores in the area. Lots of different drink varieties and tastes as good as the ones in Hong Kong and Taiwan. Highly recommended!”

“Sadly, I don't think there's enough time in the world to try all the beers these guys stock. They even have smokey beer from Bamberg... Little did I know that this place has stocked it for ages! What a treat! Whilst their prices are quite high for some of the usual ales you can find in Sainsbury's, they make up for it in the rarity of some of the brews. Great little gem hidden away in an unlikely place!”

“Every thing wonderful .Only One thing; the Khutbah MUST be in English or Arabic. So all can understand. Jazakum Allah Khair”

“Fabulous pharmacy. Will definitely be returning.”
