Came here a couple years ago and there was basically one vegan item on the menu. Now there are so many! Great to see the change, and the place is always clean. Staff are friendly and welcoming of children. Portion sizes could be bigger for the price but the food is always great.

My hubby and I went for breakfast this morning. The best ever hash browns I have had, mashroom was delicious and eggs done just how I like them, and presentation was terrific. I would definitely come back again the best breakfast served in

Nice bistro. My son enjoyed his breakfast. My wife enjoyed her eggs on toast. But my shepherds pie was bland and too watery. There was no thick gravy and the meat tasted like it was boiled. It was a hospital meal not what I expect in a

The staff in Rowan's couldn't do enough in making sure we enjoyed our lunch. It was busy but staff made a point of checking out food was good and if we needed anything else. Great variety of delicious food at competitive prices.

Exceptionally busy when visited. Waited for a table and had drink. Food took about one hour before served. It's the first time I have waited so long to be served. Shame because it's a nice place to eat with good atmosphere More

I've had breakfast here on three occasions and have enjoyed it everytime - good quality ingredients, cooked well and presented nicely. The decor creates a relaxed, comfortable environment and the service is always with a smile.

We have reason to travel down from Norfolk to Barkingside every so often and always stop for lunch and drinks here. The staff are very helpful, the food always good and there is always a busy atmosphere. Recommended.

  • Gal Nimova

Was there this morning and was very disappointing, we were the only two and it took a while until someone approached us, very expensive and I returned my breakfast as it was completely dry.

So I received half a club sandwich during this visit - see image. My previous review was 5* which was a whole sandwich! This visit was poor value for money. What happened to the other half?
