The top café in town! They've got the most delicious croissants and a real bargain with their £3.50 bacon baguette. The service is always fantastic, and the staff is super friendly and welcoming.

Chippers Ltd

Without the threat of a doubt one of the best Fish and Chips shops in London. Fresh fish and chips. Unlike many the oil don’t stink. Give it a try if you are nearby but if you are a local give them a try.

Costa

A great place to visit before going to uni! The stuff is so cheerful and they literally make your day with the great customer service and chill atmosphere! 10/10 would recommend :)

Subway

I have to say that I do love going into this subway purely to get a salad. They do try to be quite stingy however I am always quite persistent in asking fore and the staff are friendly. The only thing I would say is that the tables generally aunt cleaned aren't cleaned and in terms of giving it marked the atmosphere it's a subway so I don't really expect it

Simmons Bakers

Simmons is a wonderful bakery with the best multi seed sourdough. The food is always fresh with a great selection and the staff are all super helpful and friendly. It’s by far the best cafe on the high street with very reasonable prices.

bp

Welcoming staff, helpful, excellent customer service and catered for all of my needs! Well stocked shelves, tidy forecourt and spotless toilet facilities. Perfect stop for when you’re on the go.

Costa Coffee

After shopping around, my wife and I had the Black Forest Hot Chocolate. It was the most needed drink ever. The Barrista was very friendly and helpful. The costa itself was very spacious and had plenty of seating at the time we visited, around 4pm-ish.Wheelchair accessibility: Has wheelchair accessible entrance.

Curry Leaf

I love this place. At first I only gave them the edge over Chutneys on Lytton Rd (also excellent) because of their side dishes. They do the best Brinjal Bhaji in London in my experience. But I have come to really love their Chicken Tikka Jalfrezi, which is so satisfying. It is said that hot curries release endorphins (feelgood chemicals) because of the chemical similarities between the active ingredients in chillies (capsaicin) and serotonin and ican well believe it, bcause there is such feeling of satisfaction after their CTJ. The lime and cashew rice is ... well, sublime!Vegetarian options: No. Let me post my review!Dietary restrictions: No.Kid-friendliness: No.Wheelchair accessibility: No.

The Blue Olive

Great evening with friends, group of 10 of us. Service was exemplary and so was the food. Haven't been for ages but won't be leaving it so long next time. Back in love with this place, thank you The Blue Olive.

Brownlow Road Post Office

McDonald's

This branch is located inside the retail park on the left hand side once you enter you cannot miss it. It is then followed up by Costa coffee and Subway. Ideally the retail park is easy if you arrive by car as there is a large set of parking spaces and you can have a browse do your shopping. The restaurant chain itself was clean, organized and the staff were very friendly. The doors were automatic and easily accessible for buggies. The layout was very easy to move through and it looked very modern with iPads for children to play, multiple baby high chairs and lots of space for larger parties to dine in too. The service was quick and seamless and the staff all have a great working relationship together. I felt like the team enjoyed their job and was genuine. Coming here with a baby I noticed the disabled toilet was locked which was where the baby changing table was and it was very clean. The table was much more sturdy than other places I have been too. They have both indoor and outdoor seating available as well as a drive through. The restaurant was well lit and and have large windows for the natural lighting too. This is one go the best McDonald's I have ever been too within the London. Definitely recommend if you are around here. The restaurant was constantly bering clean and maintained, when I arrived to when I left I saw the staff continuously check the flooring and the bins.
