Quick info
About The Eva Hart
The Eva Hart is a pub on High Rd in Romford, set inside a former police station with history boards and pictures covering the building's past. The two-tiered layout has nooks and tables throughout, with the upstairs suited to groups or a quieter sitting, and a terrace offers outdoor space. The name comes from Eva Hart, a Titanic survivor who lived in the local area. The kitchen runs a menu of 161 dishes, from a breakfast muffin and porridge to Wiltshire cured ham with eggs and chips, sausages with chips and beans, and a vegan version of the same. A five-bean chilli sits among the vegan options. Food is brought to the table, and the pub takes walk-ins and opens daily. The carpet design rotates, a detail regulars come to notice.

Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently point to fresh, well-priced food as the draw at this former police station pub, with the spicy coated prawn, bangers and mash, fish and chips, and curries all singled out for praise, alongside a strong beer and cider selection at budget-friendly prices. Vegan diners note the food holds up well on repeat visits, and several mention quick, cheery breakfast service and a lively, chatty atmosphere, especially on busy Friday nights. Service is where opinions split: many call staff welcoming and friendly, but a few describe a visit marred by an incorrect order, a missing side that had to be chased, and what one reviewer called ignorant, borderline rude treatment, though a later visit from the same reviewer found staff "spot on." Two reviewers separately report seriously poor customer service experiences without detailing specifics. One diner mentions being turned away or having an issue after bringing a dog to sit outside on the terrace.

“We went to this pub this evening hoping to relax after a long week of work. Since the weather was nice and warm, we decided to bring our dog with us, especially because we planned to sit outside on the terrace. We arrived at the pub and …”

“Great, two tiered pub, lots of nooks and crannies with loads of tables. It's named after Eva Hart who lived in the local area. She was a survivor of the 1912 Titanic sinking and lived until 1996. Fantastic prices and well worth a visit.”
- Danny Myint
“Hands-down the best pub experience. Great selection of beers (unbelievable prices!), super friendly service (thanks Emma!), outstanding food; bangers and mash, fish and chips, wings (3 for the price of 2 orders), won’t go anywhere else but Weatherspoon Redbridge!”
