The Shepherd and Dog - ROMFORD

We had a wonderful lunch at this restaurant. The food and drinks were excellent, with a nice variety of starters and drinks available. The atmosphere was cozy and inviting, perfect for a cold winter afternoon. The table service was also good. We arrived at 1:30pm, so having afternoon tea on the menu would have been a great addition for that time of day. It's a great spot for groups, hen parties, baby showers, or girls' meetups. There is plenty of parking available as well.

The food was excellent, the atmosphere was lovely, and the service was outstanding.

The restaurant has a pleasant ambiance with a large indoor bar and dining area, as well as a lovely garden in the back. The service, both at the bar and at the tables, was excellent. The staff were friendly, courteous, and attentive. The food was delicious, with a diverse selection of items on the menu. They also had a good variety of moderately-priced beers and wines. I believe we may have found our new favorite neighborhood spot!

I've been here twice in the last ten days. Says a lot, doesn't it? First visit was amazing and the festive menu was delicious. Gnocchi with butternut squash, truffle oil, mushrooms, spinach and parmesan. It was SO GOOD. Shared cauliflower and cheese side and parsnip which was fab. For dessert I had a warm chocolate brownie which was wow (massively into my desserts since I've been pregnant). Went home raving about the Shepherd and Dog to my other half so we booked for a NYE lunch, which we attended today. Again food did not disappoint. I didn't have a starter but my OH had calamari which he really enjoyed. For mains I had mushroom risotto, really well constructed, flavoured and delicious mushrooms, OH had ribeye steak. We shared a mac and cheese side, again well flavoured, eight consistency and crunch. I look forward to visiting once baby is born, wine menu looks great! Staff are lovely. Literally everyone is so friendly and can't do enough for us. The tall waiter with medium length hair pulled back is so lovely, served me both visits and great food recommendations. The lovely young gentleman very tanned, well groomed and the whitest teeth I've ever seen was also lovely. I just can't wait to come back!

Lovely Christmas lunch with my friends. Booked the restaurant a few weeks prior to our visit. Somehow after paying the deposit I received a call saying I had not paid but in the end this was rectified. On arrival staff were extremely helpful especially our server. The menu was lovely but I had noticed that prices had increased, although food was delicious I did find the burger and chips to be small compared to some restaurants I eat in. No onion rings!! Great choice of desserts which again were delicious. Restaurant busy but we were not waiting around. When coning to pay out bill arrived but the deposit was not take off. I asked for another bill to be prepared and when we received it the restaurant had decided to add on service change offer £12 which I found excessive especially as we were only a group of 4. I was happy to leave a £6 tip but felt obliged to pay what they were asking. Very cheeky!! Overall a lovely meal with my friends.
