The best restaurants serving British food in Havering London

There will NEVER EVER be enough words of gratitude for this establishment for the amazing wake they gave my Aunt on the 7th January. From the second I walked in to book the venue to the minute I left last night, they could not do enough for me. I cannot recommend them highly enough and it’s never an easy day to deal with but there was not one single thing I could fault from the food to the service; it was amazing!!! Just wanted to say a huge thanks to Denise, Lorraine, Georgia and everyone else that helped behind the scenes (even the cleaner John who helped me with all the decorations today and was super kind when I went back to collect everything). Never ever hesitate to book this venue for your occasion; they will bend over backwards to make it spectacular x

Great food and beers and friendly staff.

Good food and pleasant staff. Had a great evening.

Jill was very attentive and gave us service with a smile. The food was tasty but not very hot. The man who served us was friendly also

Having booked a table for 10 weeks in advance we arrived to be directed to a back room. No table had been set, the welcomer didn't even follow to show us out seats, leaving a colleague who clearly wasn't expecting us. Place was so hot we had to keep going all the way back to stand outside - in December. Obviously no idea how to use the aircon. Roasts were generally good but the dishes and presentation of the food brought the term "Dog's dinner" to mind, or snouts in the trough.

Dinner and amazing Christmas quiz. Really great evening. Most people dressed up and really great atmosphere. Loads of lovely prizes and Lorraine and the entire team were as brilliant as ever. Fantastic evening. Thoroughly recommend for every Wednesday night. Looking forward to 2025 dinner quizzes.

After a really disappointing meal earlier in the week at Marco Pierre white's Italian in London we decided to eat out at a local pub we normally go to. Well, as usual can't fault it, from lovely attentive staff, great service and a speedy hot meal. The bacon and cheese burger was huge and so tasty in comparison to Marcos tiddly charcoaled burger!...and a fraction of the cost.win win. Thanks G I.

Before u book that ask for 20 pound deposit and then at the end of the bill thay charge u 10% service charge utter joke and the wine is way to expensive. , there are much better restaurants to go for less and who don’t charge a service charge , no restaurant should charge a service charge. You only tip if the meal was nice fact

Love it here. Good place for brunch with friends and family. Great service, delicious healthy food. Good value for money too. I had the vegan breakfast. Highly recommend

My wife and I really enjoyed the new Sunday Roast Menu at The Bank Elm Park. All I can say is WOW ! Amazing! I had the Tandoori Wings to start followed by the Roast Pork which came with all the trimmings. My wife had the Whitebait to start followed by the Roast Lamb (Delicious) Then we finished up with the Cheesecake Dessert to round up perfect Sunday Dinner for two. The best Sunday lunch you can get in the area. Will be going back for more. Highly recommend.

I only come for Linda !! She deffo the best and the happiest ….. don’t come if she’s not there …. She will keep you smiling ….. however food is good so hats off to chef 🧑‍🍳

I messaged the tea room directly from instagram, the message I sent is below . The message was seen by the vendor but I had no response, I did message them again but still no response. Very disappointing Good Morning I attempted to visit your tea room yesterday. You were busy but there was one table left outside with one chair. I seated my elderly mother there as she needed to sit down and I went into the shop to ask if there was another chair available for me to use. Unfortunately I was met by a gentleman server who bluntly said NO… It was hot yesterday and you was busy but I was made to feel very unwelcome … We had to leave and to be honest has left a rather bitter taste. We like to use Local business as they generally have a vested interest in there customer service being tip top but on this occasion it was not the case .

Arrived at 3.30pm and restaurant still had people in but could see staff looked liked they were packing up. Ordered tuna melt and 2 teas price outrageous just under £20! Food arrived had to send back as was semi cold staff didnt seem to care. Food came back warm. During our time in restaurant could here an argument in the kitchen and heard "what they expect to come in here at 4 and then complain" obvious was talking about us as they pointed and looked in our direction. When we left I said have you a problem ? They looked sheepish and said if you want to slag your customers off maybe do it quietly and dont point at us when someone asks who you were talking about and get your facts right we did not complain - would you eat semi hot food. No. They did say sorry just had busy day said no excuse. Wont be visiting again.

Came to these lakes having been here for lunch a few times. Lakes are stunning and very well kept. I decided to try a day here recently as I had heard it is a nice easy casual lake. I went on a Friday and found a lovely swim. Unfortunately for me a group of kids circa aged 14 all in blue shirts with logos rocked up having been dumped by mummy and daddy and proceeded to plonk themselves between myself and another fella. All I can say is this place clearly does not care about the welfare of the fish. the bailiff came round (a lady) and took the money and drove off. Never checked the size of the net nothing. I had to endure their foul language, watching them yank the fish out no net, no mat no nothing to protect the fish, then they just lobbed them back in the lake. My wife was really upset and went to find the bailiff but she/he was not around. Its clear to me that this place is only interested in money and doesn't care about the welfare of the fish. I am a Carp angler and care deeply about all fish, I make sure I carry all the proper equipment and even bring along the treatments for fish that may have cuts or damage. This is the only lake I have been to where kids are allowed to fish without an adult. Everywhere else I go they have to be at least 16 and if not be with an adult. I would suggest that they bring a rule in for these kids and also put up a sign up about foul language! We wont be going back purely because of these incidents.

I absolutely love the food here. The pie and mash is one of the best around. However, I do also go and eat breakfast there a fair bit and it's definitely the best in the area and exceptionally good value for money. Freshly cooked food where they don't skimp on portions is amazing. The chef does lovely cakes (defo try the cherry bakewell!), although I would say he sometimes gets his recipes slightly wrong as they sink in the middle but still taste wonderful lol One thing that lets them down in the young girl that serves in there who is grumpy and looks like she's been sucking on lemons. Brighten up a bit! She's the only reason why I have taken off mark. I felt like putting it back cos Rodders makes up for a lot of things :)
