Popeyes Romford

Review in a word - Flavoursome. I like ittt definitely better the KFC and the staff .. super friendly and inviting. We was being served by Alice who was very kind and knowledgeable of what was being served. Definitely good first time experience, I enjoyed the chicken deluxe and the honey biscuit the chips also very lovely.

Good fried chicken, will definitely be coming back here. You can choose between 2 different batter coatings for your chicken: original or spicy. Original was a bit under-seasoned for me, but spicy was absolutely delicious, so I’d definitely opt for that in the future. The chicken was very succulent, fresh and juicy. Highly recommend the chicken strips! Cajun fries were very tasty, although the large portion (in the picture below) is a bit smaller than I expected. Really enjoyed the deluxe chicken burger, very tasty sauce in the burger and the gherkins were nicely pickled. Mac & cheese was gross - tasted very bland & artificial, would not recommend ordering that. Mango habanero & ranch dipping sauces were great, will definitely recommend & order those again. Got the Oreo milkshake, which was okay but it wasn’t blended properly because all the Oreo chunks were too big for the straw and had sunk to the bottom, so once I finished the liquid, I ate the Oreo chunks at the bottom with a spoon; actual milkshake was also quite runny/thin. Spent about £30 on all the food pictured, which was more than enough for 2 of us. Restaurant was clean, plenty of seating, and service was very good. When you order on the electronic self service machines, you can select table service which I really liked; the food was bought out fairly quickly considering how busy it was.

I have tried their Stratford branch and I had a really bad experience so I was a bit hesitant to try this place but I have to say they have improved. Still not able to give 5 stars for the taste and flavours of the food so it’s a 3 star for now but there is improvement. One thing that I would give 5 stars for was the customer service which was top quality. The team made sure the tables and floors was clean, there was plenty of staff available to help customers and to greet customers in to the restaurant which was nice touch. Customer service was very impressive and I hope they keep that up. For the food I just hope there can be a little bit more improvement as I don’t think it is 5 star worthy as of yet.
