Poppins Restaurant Barking — Restaurant in London

Great time out with the family. About 5 other people in the cafe when we, a group of 8, showed up. Waiter took our orders and food showed up soon enough. Portions were large and food cooked through and tasty. We ordered dessert too and that was tasty and came in good time although one order came slightly later. Toilets are upstairs though so not accessible to wheelchair users. Parking can be found around the cafe, we parked up at the local leisure centre which was about 5 mins walk away. Prices at the cafe were fair considering its location and demographics. We visited during Barking Market day (Tuesday, also on Thurs & Sat) so busy outside but inside it was quieter and a welcome escape from the hustle and bustle outside. It's also about 10mins walk from Barking Station so helpful for those families travelling on tube etc. Staff were friendly (not overly familiar or smiley), professional and got down to serving us with aplomb. Nothing too much for them. One of our party spilt a drink and we had to move tables due to the mess, but we weren't made to feel like we were an inconvenience or silly, floor was mopped, table wiped and back to business as usual. Brilliant service! Really helpful people, thank you...

Why has this got a good to excellent overall rating? Because it deserves it. By far the best Cafe around. The front of house guy is amazing, takes the order, brings some out, cleans the tables and takes the money. A lot of establishments could learn a lot from the way this man works. If he brings something out he looks around to take empties back and cleans the table. I have been I to loads of cafes, bars, pubs and restaurants where staff would rather chit chat to one another or be on their mobile. This place is awesome and the food is great for the price, the service is absolutely spot in and a great community atmosphere. Highly recommend above all other eating places...

A nice place to go and eat with friendly staff and nice food. The view out the window of some market stalls is not everyone's idea of perfection but you can watch the world go by while talking with the people you are eating with.

Been going here a few years now and do not think I have ever had a bad experience due to the restaurant.

The food tastes great and comes in good quality but the only small down side I can think of is the tables are a bit small.

They do have access for people with less mobility to g6in but the door is not automatic so has to be...
