The Cuban has gone down hill it used to be clean and friendly now the floors are dirty and the tables as well it used to be lovely there but for some reason it's not as good

The Divan cafe in North Street, just round the corner from Romford's famous town-centre marketplace, has a tribe of regulars who will confirm that you get a good plateful of food, a cheery greeting from the two chefs and the front-of-house lady and impressive value for money. It's a no-frills cafe which specialises in omelettes, grills and traditional home-cooked cafe dinners such as spag bol, bangers mash, and lasagne. But it's the breakfast menu that catches the eye, especially the special breakfast deal which I tucked into. It's just £4.20 for egg, bacon, beans, toast and a cuppa. And the cuppas are good. But mysteriously, when I asked for scrambled egg rather than fried, I was told that would be 50p extra! Can't understand why, but it hardly made a difference. £4.70 was good value too. Fixed seating means there's no room for manoeuvre inside, but there are tables outside too... and a steady stream of black cab drivers collecting their regular order or using the loo. Breakfast deals run until 11am, and after that the full menu is active. I quite enjoyed my visit. You gaze out at PoundWorld in what vaguely amounts to the beating heart of Romford. But other breakfast places in London still have the edge over Divan when it comes to quality. Nevertheless, a good, cheap, hearty feed.

Went to this cafe after a visit to the museum. Had a baked potato with a chicken curry filling. Almost more filling than potato which suited me fine

Went there Saturday for a late lunch and was disgusted with the standard of the food which was of poor quality, overpriced and swimming in chip fat. Clearly staff prefer serving regulars rather than as people arrive. Staff was loud and unprofessional as two staff members had a row between each other over a broken mug in view of customers, and will just stand there on there mobile phone. For the price paid found the portion size and fact the undercooked eggs was swimming if chip fat was horrid. The environment within the the cafe was very loud and unwelcoming with a radio blaring out and staff rowing shouting. Was struggling to hold a conversation across the table. And how the cafe holds a hygiene level 4 is Beyond me with how dirty the place was. Won’t even go on about the toilet other than rather go in the gutter outside. Myself and my friends won’t be using this dump again.
