Red Farm - Central Dr, Hornchurch

Interesting decoration that suits the restaurant concept. We ordered starters and sides to share between 3 people. The food was average, not too mind-blowing but it was not bad either. The pac-man dumplings are cute. It wasn’t too busy when we went for lunch. I would recommend ordering starters to share because the mains are quite expensive.

The dim sum starters are funky, tasty and fresh and good value for the area. Unfortunately the mains are nowhere near as unique or good value and leave you feeling a bit hard done by. The odd interior concept farm? which seems to excuse cheap decor, radio hits at quite high volume and pleasant but quite abrupt service doesn't make up for it either. I could visit again but would probably just order lots of starters rather than mains.

We turned up at about 20:40 on a Thursday night. Got a seat, ordered our food, ate, and left by a little after 21:00. So service can be quick. And the food was really good. We had a few starters, and no main course. That limited the vegetarian options quite a lot. But the dumplings were wonderful. Now we have to go back to try the food without rushing.

Red farm is a solid spot with solid food. I wouldn’t say it blew my mind but it was a satisfying, hearty experience The dumplings (we ordered the two veggies ones on the menu) were very good and flavorful The spring rolls were excellent: right mix of flavors and very crispy The veggie curry was fine. It felt a bit bland The setting is quite charming with the wooden tables and chairs, but if you happen to be sitting in one of the alcoves when a big group shows up to take over the long table in the middle, you will soon be finding your self gasping for air and trying to protect your food from the various bumps making their way left and right. Not a very pleasant experience

Definitely over-priced. The soup dumping is 6 pounds EACH with a just-Okay flavor The fried noodle is also just so so. You can easily find something better or equal quality with a better price.
