The Fig Leaf is a real find in Romford hidden amongst all the Fast Food and generic chains. I had…read morenever been here before as always thought it was more of a lunch/cafe type place but it was busy on a Friday night so we checked it out. Good choice of Greek/Meditteranean food and prices were great, a starter for £2. My partner had the Iskender, it was delicious and I had Lamb Kofte in a wrap with cheese and rice and sauce on the side. I probably wouldn't go here for a special meal but was a real change teamed with good service and we had fun trying to name all the 7 wonders of the world which lined the walls.

Speaking of the latter, no not Latte, i've noticed that you can judge the locals on how the condition of the sofas! For instance my local Starbucks sofas seem to be forever stained, whereas the last one I visited, which was in Marlow, wasn't new as it had signs of wear, but they were nice and clean. Okay Romford probably has more visitors per day than Marlow gets in a week, but that doesn't excuse the customers lack of respect for the furniture and fittings of the establishment. I like to feel that i'm going to be able to get up out of the chair or sofa without having the need to check to see if i've got the remnants of someone else's panini stuck to my trousers.

On a quiet day, 'is there a quiet day in Romford' i hear myself ask, well if there was then you might quite enjoy the 'bijou' setting looking out of the window watching bus after bus pass by, but still it did serve its purpose and satiated my caffeine craving.
