The Village Bar and Grill in Hornchurch seems to be the perfect place to congregate with friends, family or even colleagues for a delicious meal and fun atmosphere. With a spacious terrace and a recently refurbished interior, the warm and relaxing ambience and the Mediterranean feel of the décor helps in building a holiday mood out of a simple dining experience.

Starters from their regular a la carte, include pan fried tiger prawns and then move on to the risottos, noodles and pasta dishes on offer, while burgers and steaks are other delicious options. For dessert, the chocolate fudge cake with vanilla ice cream ought to pander to your sweet tooth and a children's menu is just right for the little ones. The concise drinks list offers wines by the glass or bottle, while champagnes, sparkling wines, beers and cocktails complete the picture.

The terrace is one of the best outside seating areas in the town. It is covered with large heated umbrellas for chillier nights or you could sit on the sunny side to catch the rays.
