Top 30 Best Lively evening with friends in Romford

“Now a really nice pub since its recent refurbishment. New manager but all the same lovely bar staff. And the Gents are spotless, for the first time in many years. Nice friendly atmosphere, and cheap drinks. One of the best locals in Romford.”

“Helpful staff, and good selection. Didn't try to sell us the most expensive, but instead took the time to help us purchase the mattress we needed within the budget we had.”

“Always easy to click and collect. I've placed orders at 11pm and then been able to collect them at 8am the next morning with no issues.”

“We had Harley Entertainment at our wedding and we was so impressed! He had everyone up dancing all night and even after the wedding I had people texting about how great our DJ was! Can't thank them enough and will be 100% using for all parties in the future!”

“Beautiful place to have breakfast in. Service was fast. I had an English breakfast and the food was great. The only slip up was that I asked for white bread but got brown. Overall great breakfast restaurant for all ages.”

“Great burger place. The burgers we’re all full of taste and freshness nice friendly staff and quality service”

“We love this Park ,we go every time we have the chance ,kids love it . They love the play ground and the ducks. They still have some work to do at the play ground but is nice to enjoy the good weather.”

“William Rocks!!!!! Nothing more nothing less... Stratford to Ilford if there is any happening place is called Williams the Conqueror!!!!!! ( manor park Romford road)... Great Vibes Amazing people and very well priced drinks!!!! WANT A GREAT NIGHT AND TIME GO WILLIAMS”

“Cannot fault this place at all. Staff are always so welcoming and service and food are fab (especially the Sunday roasts!). We always bring our young dog with us and the staff are so accommodating!”

“Lovely service, friendly staff and great food. Went for my boyfriend’s birthday( 6 people) and the total bill was around £300. We got so many rounds of drinks and food for each person, including one desert and coffees. A free drink at the end was also offered. My boyfriend comes here quite often and really enjoys the fish and chips.”

“It looks restaurant running by a nice family. I really enjoy the atmosphere, food and service. The meat cooked nicely served with a lot of vegetables and rice. The tiramisù was fantastic. Price is fine.”

“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.”

“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.”

“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”

“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 !!”

“Family decided to try out this restaurant yesterday. Generally good, took time to grant our request for heating to be put on due to two of our group feeling chilly in the place, but they made up by other aspects of service. Jllof rice portions were large for us, lol, may be we do not eat much. Puffpuff was nice. Thanks De Quilox”

“Great place, with a really unique vibe. Lots of locals and great friendly bartenders”

“Well built and great furnishing!! Can't wait to book mine..”

“Brilliant Customer Service. My card was playing up and I couldn't pay for my coffee so they gave me a free cup.”

“Always feel so safe here! Staff and security are so fantastic. Shoutout to the female staff especially for making me feel safe when I’ve not been comfortable. Cheap food and drinks! What more would you ask for. 10/10.”

“First visit since new management have taken over. Bar staff are a great laugh and very friendly. Beer is clean and average price for romford. The decor is great with traditional pub setup - plenty of tables and space for a good night to be had! Bouncers were decent enough and kept the clientel well behaved! Hope they get the live bands back soon, they made for a fantastic atmosphere.”

“Would really could do with extra staff and more space to prep food as 3people were struggling with 8 orders in line which makes costumers wait nearly 1h. The food is great, the service too but owners should be more considerent towards the workload on staff.”

“I work at bdc, if this opens full time it'll be packed, top notch food so polite”
