Best Donuts in London Borough of Barking and Dagenham

"With multiple locations across the city and an impressive range of flavours rotated daily, Crosstown’s handmade fresh doughnuts are not to be missed. For a seasonal snack, the Pumpkin and Nutmeg Custard Doughnut is full of wintry flavour, including pumpkin sourdough, cream cheese icing, pumpkin seeds, and orange zest. Similarly, the Spiced Apple and Pear Crumble Doughnut is bursting with the taste of maple, pecan, and autumn fruits."

"You don't actually have to cross town for these, not now they've got vans, bars and stockists all over the place. You would, though, if you had to — for somewhere among the Standards, the Mini Bites and the Seasonal Specials is the doughnut of your dreams. They use sourdough for a denser, chewier doughnut at Crosstown, one thing which sets them apart from the doughnut masses."

"A London-based chain of restaurants, Ping Pong offers some of the best Dim Sum you'll ever consume. With a menu as long as your arm, there's plenty to choose from and you'll need to be lifted out on a crane after trying their huge variety of dumplings, buns, rolls and more. Highlights on the menu are the Honeyed Chicken Chilli Rice Pot, the Crispy Duck Spring Roll and the Spicy Chicken and Chinese Vegetable Dumpling."

"What: We would have included Ping Pong’s ‘Lazy Sumday’ menu solely on the merit of its punny title, but it turns out its substance is as good as its name. For less than £30, you can fill up on baos, buns and dumplings until your heart’s (or stomach’s) content. And, as if unlimited dim sum wasn’t enough, you can also add a bottle of prosecco to your lunch for a tenner."

"With locations across London, Ping Pong offers a lively stopover for a light bite during a busy day out in Covent Garden, Soho or South Bank and other locations. Specialising in dim sum, teas and cocktails, these contemporary restaurants offer some of the best Chinese in London for those on a budget."
