Shelly’s Bar & Nightclub Hornchurch — Restaurant in London

Had a lovely time at Shelly's with my mum and our lovely neighbour yesterday evening. We had originally booked to see the drag show - this was unfortunately cancelled (act dropped out) so entertainment was instead provided by Tony Vegas singing Elvis, David Bowie, Johnny Cash, Frank Sinatra, etc. A good range of classic tracks were performed, we enjoyed it.

3 course meal + entertainment for £40 per person is good value - food was high quality, very yummy and big portions. Between us we chomped through prawn cocktail, chicken wings, BBQ ribs, steak, chicken skewers and two delicious cheesecakes. We also enjoyed a lovely bottle of Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc and a few tasty cocktails.

Restaurant decor is very nice, with friendly and helpful staff.

My mum and I also previously visited a few months ago - we randomly stumbled across Shelly's when looking for somewhere to have Sunday lunch. The roasts were excellent - large portions and reasonably priced.

This is a new, independent business in Hornchurch. There are really not many options for a good night out for 30+ year olds in the local area. Please support start-ups and give...

Cant believe I'm seeing people give 4 and 5 star reviews for this place.

The food was not worth £40 for the three courses. The wings were dry, ribs were obviously pulled straight off the tesco/asda shelf and the cheesecake turned up warm; more than likely rushed to defrost in the microwave. The desserts clearly weren't ready as we were offered a round of shots instead. The lack of table service resulted in some of us walking out to the bar by the entrance to get everyone in our group a drink.

When we eventually went up to pay, we noticed a service charge was added. We stated we wasnt happy paying it as the service was non existent. This was followed up by one of the workers (shelly, I assume) giving a sarcastic and uncooperative response.

We went for a drink in the sutton's after and about an hour in I started feeling nauseous. I ended up rushing to the toilet and was violently sick, bringing up what I had eaten an hour prior.

We paid well over the odds on the whole and definitely wont be coming back. Rude staff to match (some but not all).

I booked Shelley's for Fathers Day and was really pleased I did! I loved the new décor, especially the 'flower wall' and the beautiful mirrored pictures. The food was delicious and considering Shelley (the owner) was one man down (one of the chefs) on a busy day the service was impeccable. I ordered the chicken wings starters and lamb shank for main. All the food was piping hot and the lamb shank was so tender, it was falling off the bone. The side dishes was fairly generous! No request was too big for the waitress staff either. The restaurant was playing some fab tunes in the background, not too low and not too loud and there was plenty of room between tables, no over crowding and it was nice to walk outside if you needed some fresh air or a cigarette. I cannot wait to go back and try the pork belly and have a dessert this time (if I am not too full!) Thanks again for making Fathers day a hit for my dad and my...
