The Connaught Ilford

I have been here for brunch several times now and it’s a go to for me because of how great the food is, the friendliness of the staff and the fact that it’s a nice family oriented place to have a meal. The portions are great and the price is very competitive. There is a queue outside at times but it is worth the wait. Had to wait a while today with my husband and they handed out little hot chocolates to us and others waiting which was a lovely touch and shows their commitment to providing a great service. Highly recommend a visit to The Connaught for brun.

I had the chicken steak with mash and vegetables, and it was absolutely fantastic. The chicken was tender, juicy, and cooked to perfection, with just the right amount of seasoning. The mash was smooth and buttery, and the vegetables were fresh and perfectly cooked—still with a bit of bite, just how I like them. The dish was well presented, showing real care from the kitchen. It looked as good as it tasted, and for the quality, the price was very reasonable. You can tell the chef put real effort into the dish—top marks for flavor, texture, and presentation. While I was there, I also noticed the breakfast plates and platters being served to other tables. They looked just as impressive, and I’ll definitely be back soon to try them.

The steak and poached eggs and avocado were absolutely delicious. The steak was tender and full of flavour, perfectly complemented by the rich creaminess of the eggs. The seasoning was spot on, and the fresh greens added a lovely balance to the dish. Beautifully presented and very satisfying , a dish I’d happily have again.
