I feel a little harsh by giving this a 2 star, but I think it's worthy for the food we got today…read more We ordered a couple of starters to share, the prawns and halloumi which the cheeses could of been grilled a little more so that it's more crispy on the outside and soft and gooey on the inside. Next up I choose the cheeseburger and my friend had the T bone steak.. I must say I was jealous of their meal as my burger was a tad over cook and the fries wasnt as crispy as I expected. The coleslaw was good, but it was an good portion that I just couldn't finish. However the dessert display look really appetising and I went for the chocolate fondant and the apple tart. I must say give me dessert any day! The decor of the place is lovely and the vibes are very East London hipster style, but I don't think I will be rushing back in a hurry..

First time going to The Banc. Was recommended by my colleague…read more We were given a complimentary starter (bread with a dip) - that was nice. We ordered the calamari, when it came it looked amazing but tasted on point and delish. I've had calamari in different restaurants I would say this is one of my top places to get it. Anyways, we ordered the Grilled salmon, the Seabass fillet and Cordon Bleu breaded chicken. Dessert was a chocolate fondant with vanilla icecream. Everything was scrumptious. I would say friendly service, big portions (wasn't expecting it), lovely surroundings. Hygiene wise, clean.

Just what you want from a tea shop - a good selection of well priced tea, a raft of cake, lunch…read moreoptions and bunting. Oh and proper tea pots with loose leaf tea. Based on a Devon/Cornwall tea room and only five weeks old at the time I visited there is an air of tranquility to the place and community...the two owners were happy to chat new faces as well as regulars. There's also a community noticeboard and a selection of handmade crafts which can be purchased as a reasonable price. I had the Team Room Blend, a popular choice it seems as the following two other people also opted for it, as well as a tea cake. The tea arrived in a proper teapot with cup and saucer and was easily enough for three cups. It was also a lovely blend, not too strong but with a distinct edge to it from your regular English Breakfast. The tea cake was a good size and came with butter which had already been warmed (a wonderful small touch) so was easy to spread. All in all very tasty. I have no doubts that if I lived nearby this would be a regular haunt, but as I'm not I bought a gift voucher for a friend who is and hope she enjoys it as much as I did. Will certainly be going back next time I visit.

Good location, just by Wanstead station in case you need refreshments to withstand the journey to…read moreor from the East End. Wanstead is a picturesque little village and has many good things going for it already, a nice tea room was a great addition. The place isn't big, but the decor is quaint and lovely, and the service is good. The crockery is colorful and nicely mismatched, for the ones who appreciate a little bit of character with their tea. The tea itself... they have a reasonable amount of choice and I went for a raspberry/vanilla infusion; let's say I might stick with the traditional english breakfast next time. I had the teacake, wich was very nice, and if you are willing to take my advice then ask for it to come hot and already buttered to the table; this way the teacake absorbs all the butter and changes texture slightly, which is what you want. Butter on the side just isn't the same. The cake selection also looked great and I'm planning to try a few next. They have a cute little garden at the back, it was a bit too cold to sit outside on that day, but if sunny I'd totally go for that spot. :)

A clean rustic Turkish cafe at the quiet side of Mare Street serving the usual all day breakfast,…read moresandwiches, salad, jacket potatoes and a nice selection of hot dishes too. Most of the fillings for the jacket potatoes, salad and sandwiches came from the nicely maintained glass counter so you could see what you were getting. It had a nice charm to it with its exposed red bricks and medium oak wooden tables creating a nice warm glow when light reflects off it. Upon paying they kindly took 10% off our food bill after we told them we worked in the area. Very kind of them especially when they didn't have to. Chicken soup. Wish I was told that the soups were all from tinned Heinz, otherwise I wouldn't have ordered it. But it came with lovely fresh Turkish bread and salad to eat with so wasn't all that bad. Vegetable lasagna Vegetable lasagna was a bit pathetic. I didn't even taste any vegetables in it or cheese, neither did it resembled a lasagne. More like pasta in tomato sauce and maybe two tablespoons of it. It did however come with what seems like two portions of chips that overtook most of the plate. Luckily the chips were lovely and crispy and if I pretend I just ordered those then it wasn't all that bad either. Jacket potatoes with mushrooms, beans and sweetcorn After quite a bad start We were finally given a dish worth coming back for. It was a much satisfying order and the staff were kind enough to allow us to customise it to our liking. The potato was gigantic, really fluffy from being cooked well and overly generous with the fillings. The mushrooms were sautéed well offsetting lovely flavours across the dish and sweetcorn giving nice burst of sweetness. It's definitely not the best cafe in the area lacking attention to detail and individuality. But staff were really nice and friendly. They were even kind enough to make my friend a hot glass of water and added a piece of lemon in it too for free. Remember to redeem 10% off food if you're a local in the area. The atmosphere was nice and was clean and cosy. If I ever come again it would be a jacket potato for me. Filling and cheap ranging from £3.40 to £6.90 + £1 for any extra filling.

I booked the reservation through OpenTable and I guess they saw I was gluten free so when I checked in they immediately handed me the gluten free menu, which I normally have to ask for (even if I noted it) so that was much appreciated. Now, on to the menu, they had such a great variety of gluten free options. I went for the edamame and calamari. The calamari had red peppers and scallions with it and it was so tasty. For my main I opted for the ho fun noddles with chicken and prawns and it was beyond delicious. I also ordered a mocktail lychee martini which was solid. But here is how they really won me over. Their worker named Andy stopped by my table and said happy birthday and again, I hadn't mentioned it to any of them. But they saw it on my OpenTable profile and went out of their way to make me feel special. They chatted with me and even brought me out a free dessert while singing me happy birthday! It was truly such a great experience that I left the restaurant smiling. I would 100% recommend stopping by for the good food and staying for the grade A service.
