The Puddle - Havering

Nice clean premises serving great food. Very friendly staff.

I must admit I have to review on the meal we had and the day we visited. I see other reviews giving it 5 stars so that is good. Ours must have been an off day. Food was very average. Order was wrong but apparently that was our mistake. I don't mind a greasy spoon if the quality of food is good but for us on this occasion it wasn't. I had been here a few times before, don't know if it's changed hands but due to being bog standard we will look elsewhere as a lot of competition in upminster as per my other reviews.

Proper greasy spoon style. Tasty bacon, nice sausage, crispy Hash Brown. Big tasty fried egg. Proper quality food and lots of it. Huge toast (that came pre buttered, which I like for so many reasons) Passed the dry hash brown test (they don't bury it under the beans or tomato making it soggy, excellent, tick) Got my order right by excluding mushroom, happy days. Not the poshest of places but it's not intending to be, which is great because they focus on the food quality and cost to the punter. The only thing I forgot was to leave them a tip, regrettably.

Excellent Sunday roast, and fantastic lemon merengue. Good service from staff. Good, yummy, delightful, luscious, wonderful

Great place food fantastic close to fishing lakes service great
