“What a lovely cafe the food and drink is amazing. Homemade cakes. I purchased some homemade quiche to take away. Well worth a visit. Its lovely and clean.”

“Friendly fast service All meals and sandwiches made fresh while you wait. Brilliant portions and prices. I've been using Petros for over 4yrs and fully recommend this café, everyone I've taken there have always gone back and introduced their friends too. Don't miss out try Petro's for yourself”

“Held my daughter's naming ceremony here and the service we received right from the first contact was brilliant. The staff were extremely helpful and efficient and always on hand when needed whilst giving us the space we needed to make the room our own . The food was really tasty with a great selection of sandwiches and savoury items. The cake was really yummy and there was plenty of it. There was plenty of tea and coffee too for all of our guests The room was clean bright and spacious and decorated beautifully with access to the outside patio and play area and we were able to bring our dog who enjoyed it as much as we did. I would really recommend hiring the room for your function as the staff made the whole process as pleasurable and stress free as possible leaving us time to enjoy our daughters special day. Thank you to you all for everything”

“It's the first time I've been there , the staff and service were brilliant, the beer was excellent there was live music ( On a Wednesday night ) If I lived close it would definitely be my local , I will go again tho.”

“Very interesting place and welcoming staff. Closes early during the week but on Fridays and weekends becomes very active with music with a dance floor. The smoking area also has heaters with is a plus. By far the staff are the best aspect, often found mingling with people on their breaks and just being quite friendly and welcoming. One time I ran out of cigerattes and a staff member on their break in the smoking area offered me one.”

“View of the majestic lakes, instantly brings a seren calmness in your heart and make you very cheerful! One of the most beautiful parks in Barking & Dagenham with two very attractive lakes (South & North Lakes), large open space, leisure centre, car parks, children's play area, sports facilities, Woodlands, and Local Nature Reserve! And Mayes Brook River goes through the edge of the Mayesbrook Park! Across the southern side of the Mayesbrook Brook, magnificent Wildlife Goldmines such as South Lake, Nature Reserve and Woodland Trail are located! A perfect place for walking, jogging, running, relaxing and exploring for all family members! Water in the Mayesbrook Park North Lake seems like a teardrop-silver in colour and stand-still with occasional ripples created by waterfowl or leaves dropping from tree! Reflection of Skyline and Trees can be clearly visible on the lake water! There are plenty of natural sounds make this North Lake magical - cooings of pigeons, humming throbs of mute Swan, rustling leaves, mesmerising ripples in the lake and grass playing with the wind! Lakes are the homes many waterfowl including mute Swan, tufted Duck, Shoveler, Rock Dove (Feral Pigeon) and Herring Gull!”
