The Rear Window Restaurant 147 Whipps Cross Road, London E11 1NP

"This is such a welcome gem to the area. We had hands down THE best veggie roast ever (and my partner said the chicken was also amazing). Incredible wellington, with perfect root veg and gravy. The staff were super attentive and accommodating (when we asked to swap an item on our kids roast). Really friendly, and the restaurant (at the rear) is just beautiful. Yes there is an upmarket feel, but in a relaxed and approachable way. And I don't think this is more in price than any of the other 'good' pubs locally, but you def get a better standard of food and service. We shall be spreading the good word, and please do not ever leave Ruth and Will! (some more veggie dishes on the main menu would be v welcome so there is more variety on each visit. We would certainly visit more often if this was the case - feels fairly meat weighted currently)"

"Absolutely sumptuous meal - fresh ingredients with wide variety of vegetarian options lovingly prepared by the chef. Attentive but non-intrusive waitering made for a wonderful afternoon. As for the cocktails; at last a haven in Leytonstone that has an innovative and creative mixologist, hurrah! Well done to all, fabulous venue."

"One of the best sunday roasts I've had in a restaurant, perfect potatoes, big fluffy yorkshire puddings and amazing gravy. Their cocktails were great, with a big, interesting selection. We went with our toddler and they were really welcoming and engaging with her. They kindly did a kids roast for us (it wasnt on the menu). There is a 2 hour limit on tables, which is a bit tight if you want a leisurely lunch, but they extended ours slightly for us. Food came out of the kitchen very quickly. We will be back without a doubt"

"This charming restaurant is a hidden gem in London. We had a fantastic evening. The food was so tasty and nicely decorated, the staff highly attentive and the vibe and interior of the restaurant made us stay forever. Thanks a a lot, we will be back soon!"

"Wow! This was a great dinner with a group of friends. They just really understand whT is important at hospitality! Very cosy, great and friendly staff, i can see that everyone loves working there. Most importantly the food was on point! Such good quality! Rather large portions so you wont leave hungry. Oh and lets not forget to mention the cocktails! (Dishes to look out for: loved the beetroot salade! Loved the Avocado! And the Prawns were yummmmmiii!!! Defs worth 5 stars!"
