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.

The menu is pretty thorough, flowing from breakfast through to lunch, supper and afternoon treats. The food is of a good standard, but it is not perfect: To be picky I'd prefer fresher eggs, bread and fruit. However, the coffee can't really be faulted, it is easily of the same or greater quality than any of the other cafes and competitively priced. That thing that keeps me coming back is the friendly service and local flavour. I like to come here because it has far more selection than most of the others, so it is great for groups. It's cute, comfortable and clean. I hope the garden continue to grow!

After a busy day of shopping or after a morning of running errands, Bunno is the place to go. There is a full breakfast meal served until 11:30a and they have very good coffee along with a variety of cakes and pastries. Their pasta is AMAZING. Fresh, and made daily! They have vegan and gluten free options as well. You pick the pasta you want, as well as the sauce/protein that goes with it. It's absolutely delicious and handmade! Ambiance is nice and cozy. For an evening weekday it's slow, but makes the company more enjoyable. Highly recommend when you're craving Italian and don't want to go all the way to Italy to satisfy your cravings. Bunno has got you covered!

Really wouldn't even give it one star…read more This has got to be the worst food experience I have ever had!! I ordered pesto pasta and paid £20.40. It was disgusting!! Something in the pasta tasted off and now I feel sick. I asked a colleague to try it and they said it did not taste right. I called the restaurant and was told that I could get it remade. I refused as I would never eat something from this place again after feeling sick. I know it was the food as it was my first meal of the day and I was fine before taking a bite from it. I was told I could get a refund and then I was called back and told that I couldn't because the chef says everything is prepared fresh. I am disappointed as I just wasted £20.40 on nothing. Food I cant eat and now I feel sick. If you want to waste your money then go ahead. I am reporting to the FSA. Response to the owner: As mentioned above, no one would accept an invitation to eat from an establishment of which they had a bad experience with. If you cannot understand that, then I will have to assume it's because of ignorance. The accusation that I am exaggerating is insulting as I wouldn't opt to order food for £20.40 only to exaggerate about how I felt. I would've ordered from zizzi's instead (at least they would have dealt with this in a professional manner). 5 minutes? Please! It was 20 minutes or longer after eating that I called to tell the restaurant that I felt sick from eating the food, as I also said that I had 2 colleagues try the food and came to the same conclusion that the food tasted off. I also made a complaint via just eat webchat. All of this could not have been done in 5 minutes. So now who is exaggerating! At the end of the day, there is a strong distinction between strange tastes and and disgusting tastes. The food tasted disgusting. I wouldn't recommend.

It was right up my street, and if like me, you love everything Vintage, then this is a dream! The cafe is based on a farm in a fairly rural area. It was a bit tricky to find, so make sure to look out for the signs. You'll find that it serves a very rustic and authentic environment, so if you're bit of a fancy pants, perhaps go to The Hilton for Afternoon tea. Its cute in size and decor. . My compliments certainly extends to the food, with everything homemade! We had The pre-ordered Afternoon tea, so everything was ready for us upon arrival. They were also able to cater for my 4 year old daughter, who had a kids version. The sandwiches were so soft and the cakes absolutely delish. The cherry on top was that the staff were super friendly and made us feel very comfortable. So, all-in-all, big thumbs up!
