Relaxed evening venues in London

“Exceptional food and customer service, the best Lebanese food I've had on Edgeware Road, and I've tried almost all of them. Give them a try, it was incredible”

“Great place for an English breakfast with a Turkish twist. The Dara breakfast really hit the spot, and they are dog friendly.”

“Delightful place. Great menu, fantastic healthy food. Reasonably priced and well presented. Beautiful surroundings by the garden centre. Flawless service and they made sure my dog had a bowl of water to drink. Will come again!”

“Good vibe! Coffee is good and the guy there (owner I believe) is very nice and has a big heart! Didn’t try the food this time but would definitely go back!”

“Excellent place great choices of drinks not expensive and quite friendly staff. Hopefully they can get a bigger space soon”

“Great village pub, good burgers, lovely outside courtyard! Great staff too”

“Lived across the road for 30+ years and it's been my local. You just don't get pubs like this anymore , old school. Pam is in charge and everyone is welcome , tiny pub but great atmosphere.”

“Best service and good fresh food, and crazy delicious cakes! Love Beatrice”

“Wonderful to see these young actors performing. Have been many times and I am rarely disappointed”

“Bocketts farm is a lovely day out for family especially with younger kids. I've been many times over the years particularly because it is one of the farms where you can get closer to the animals to feed them, rather than using those feeding tubes, which I know are safer but are less fun. There are lots of added activities for kids to enjoy such as the crafts corner, soft play and jungle gym, a big tractor and toy car area, bouncy castle, trampolines, go carts, sand pit, park and a bubble disco. They also still do the pig race which is great fun for everyone. We ate in the restaurant in the main entrance. I really enjoyed their mars bar cake. My friends had the ham and cheese toasties which also looked nice and juicy.”

“I recently held a reception for my babies baptism here, as it was a short walk from the church. I am so happy I did. We had an exclusive day hire with a minimum spend. The food was exceptional. We had such a lovely feedback from all of our guests. The venue was so nice it didn’t need a lot of dressing. Would recommend this venue to anyone looking for a private event or even just for dinner. Huge thank you to the staff who were helpful, friendly and made our day extra special.”

“This is such a cute and beautiful cafe, right on Epping high street. Great selection of menu choices, would suit a quick lunch and more substantial meals if needed and good for kids too! The "French" is out of this world! Food quality is gorgeous! Thanks Harleys!”

“Stunning flavours, lovely surroundings, brilliant service, great amenities. Had a wonderful lunch.”

“Great atmosphere, delicious food, can't complain. Wonderful service from the owner Aaron. Very nice fresh new look to the place!”

“I've been a few times now for brunch with a friend. The setting is beautiful and there's outside space too (which I haven't used yet but plan to in the summer months). I've had food both times and on both occasions was fantastic! The coffee is made perfectly and the baked goods on offer are delicious.. oh, and the staff are friendly, professional and approachable.. I can see why my friend goes time and time again and I'll most certainly be back when visiting the area x”

“Had a great time at The Old Plough. The fish and chips was absolutely excellent. Top marks for service and environment as well. Look forward to going back.”

“Fresh clean and great food . Staff always smiling and very cheerful. Recommend it”

“My Nan and I always go to this restaurant. Food is amazing, and really reasonably priced. Staff are always so welcoming and kind, particularly Beri who usually serves us. She is a great server, always makes us laughs and makes sure everything is okay. Highly recommend this restaurant.”

“I took my wife here for our anniversary dinner, this was a week day due to childcare and the restaurant still had a lovely atmosphere, enough people to give a feeling of being in your own little bubble. We had a mixed platter to share to start, it was fantastic a very good size with a lovely selection. We both had a Tagine for our mains, I had the meatball with egg and the wife had lamb shank, they both came out extremely hot and the smell was amazing, neither dishes disappointed they were both beautiful. I also a had a pear and almond tart that I would highly recommend, a great finish to a lovely meal certainly worth a try. Staff were great very attentive without being intrusive. Also gave us a desert for free as it was our anniversary very nice touch, thank you.”

“In search of the perfect shawarma. This place is fantastic— show up hungry and leave happy. A VERY generous serving of chicken on the wrap is flavourful and delicious; perfectly placed along side the fresh toppings— The unique and clever play of rocket in the salad had my palate refreshed and begging for another bite. Top marks for the homemade wrap as well. Though to be a bit picky, I’d like it to be heat pressed on a grill after the shawarma construction for a little extra crunch and really make this a 12 out of 10. Well done Turqoise, an amazing shawarma and I will definitely be back. My search continues…”

“Lovely atmosphere, staff are attentive and very friendly and the food.... all of it is so tasty! The meats are cooked to perfection, so juicy and tender. My favourite is the lamb chops!”

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

“A lovely place to have a perfect date.... The restaurant on the top perfect for family dining and the are downstairs for parties.. Food there was amazing and the staff lovely...our chef was the star.. He took time to come meet and take feedback too.. Donot miss the Chilli garlic Naan and butter chicken there!!!”

“Great ambiance. nice and welcoming atmosphere. The foods are all amazing. I actually have nothing to complain. Will be definitely returning soon.”

“We had the tasting menu, with wine pairings, which I can't recommend highly enough! It was our first visit to a Michelin restaurant, and all the staff made us feel at home quickly. The pace of dinner was great; with seven courses, we were left looking forward to the next course while never feeling overly full, but left not wanting more. One of the surprising highlights was the bread and butter! The caramelised yeast and malt butter was stunning. The wines offered a lovely selection of white pairings. The wine pairings were a great way to explore some wines for my guests, with there being a varied selection of tasting profiles. The atmosphere was quiet for a Friday night in London. There were never more than five tables on at any one time.”

“Amazing dishes and service and place! We got the rice covered with leave for the starter and it was so good! Also the lamb with pita bread was amazing. We asked to cut the chicken wrap in two and they were so kind to cut it nicely! The service in general was amazing and so kind. Also the place was very pretty with the gold frame without the paintings :) And I really really enjoy baklava! They said they prepare it for 4 days. The quality was so much higher from other baklava on the street. I would like to come back for sure if I want to have Greek food!”

“Our meal was 2 hours of sheer food escapism. From the minute we arrived we were welcomed and felt it.the entire team were incredibly attentive and welcoming, but not overbearing. The food was exceptional, exciting and innovative and for the first time in a longtime my wife and I just basked in the amazing food and ambience. The whole setup was so wonderful the time flew by. The cocktails were incredible too. We were never without anything and we left feeling like we had gotten a bargain. Also Monica walked through the restaurant and said hello after I waved like a dork. Thank you so much.”

“With their new evening menu and opening times on Friday and Saturday, this lovely little cafe has produced great evening food, the pork chops were amazing and the homemade sauce really made the meal! Homemade caramel for pudding and I am well and truly spoilt! Highly recommend it!”

“Their waffles are great but they're quite large so a few people can share them. My sister loves their bubble tea. Don't get the cookie dough.”

“Amazing to see this place taken over by new owners. The coffee was amazing and the breakfast was delicious, very excited to have a place like this on my doorstep”
