Tom Flanagan If youre thinking of booking The Depot for a wedding stop reading this and get it booked immediately. We had the absolute best day there and its a great venue to get married in. Shannon and Imogen couldnt be more helpful and its basically like having your own wedding planners, The Depot also put everything out and pack everything down so its about as stress free as possible. We normally find wedding food pretty average but the canapes and buffet here were absolutely banging. We also had a couple of cocktail hours with multiple bespoke cocktails and shots and this was handled with ease. Our wedding was about as non traditional and DIY as you can get and included a 4 piece string quartet, a service in the Depot, a couple of musical performances and a DJ, all handled expertly and with ease. We loved that as there were as no hire fee, only minimum spend, every penny we spent went back into the guests. What are you still reading for, get booking. Tom & Danielle

Irina Carabella Lovely hidden gem in Forest Gate! Delicious food, comfortable seating, friendly staff and chill atmosphere. I was looking for a quiet place to work on my laptop and have some lunch and this hit the spot! The front looks quite unassuming but they actually have more seating in the back! Their drinks and food are delicious and I’m looking forward to coming back a 3rd time to try their french toast. I recommend their Indian breakfast and spanish latte.

Damey8679 Went for a few drinks in the bar area which was a lovely atmosphere, very cosy. Then we went and sat in the restaurant area for food. We know Cheffie from the Farmers, so knew the food would be amazing and he didnt disappoint. The pork belly with dauphinoise potatoes on the specials was incredible. Starters and desserts were delicious also. In addition the staff were so lovely and friendly and made us feel so welcome. Shout out to Lucy. Will definitely be going back soon.

Kelly Rae As soon as we arrived, we was greeted by friendly staff, we was made very welcome. We ordered a mixed platter (starter) which was very nice. Food was hot and we wasnt rushed for our mains. Our lamb biriyani was delicious and the sag paneer accompanied it very well. We will definitely be coming back.

Hugh Barber We LOVE coming for breakfast here on weekends. The food is fresh with so many options to choose from. If its busy with a line then its worth the wait. I always order the eggs royal which is amazing. The staff are super nice and professional even when the place is packed. Shout out to Michael who is a legend and taking pride in his work.

Alan Chan A real little hidden gem. The cafe is small, cute and cosy, right opposite the station. They offer Japanese meals, teas and cakes / baking. There is a lunch special menu that changes. For me my favourite is the udon with prawn tempura which I really recommend.
