Yes, we all like a bit of Romford!
Now over the years the area has turned around and is now somewhat trendy and a Towie hot-spot. Today we look at 5 reasons why The Only Way Is Romford
Lockie’s Kitchen – Romford
James ‘Lockie’ Lock, known for his appearance on The Only Way is Essex, is passionate about fitness and believes that one of the keys to living a healthy lifestyle is eating the right foods. His vision is to make fresh healthy food that tastes good, available to those on the go. And so, Lockie’s Kitchen was born bringing an Essex twist to healthy eating. The menu is designed with the health conscious in mind using carefully and locally sourced ingredients which are reflected in the menu’s seasonal freshness. Open for breakfast, lunch and dinner or for just a drink on the go.
