Food well over priced, poor selection of beer, and half the menu not available. Waist of money and time, not to forget the cancellation fee for a bar and grill. Get real!!! £10 per person for a Saturday night

Sunday roast was nice, although the presentation was not very good, and not very hot. Service was very slow and for dessert we had 4 fruit crumbles and a waffle that served to us cold. When they came back, they were only just warm, very little custard and far too much crumble topping that wasnt very cumbly. Overall dissapointing as my daughter had picked Barringtons for the Sunday roast for her birthday.

Ive left a review on trip advisor for this resteraunt as i was extremely impressed. Great service, great food, great everything. The staff are excellent in fact if there is a word better than " excellent " then thats the staff. The food exceptionally good and the ribs, oh my god the ribs, so much meat and the flavour. I loved the seasoning on the fries, burgers were beautiful and a home made cheesecake, how many resteraunts make home made desserts now. In fact we over ordered on food as i just wanted everything, we was going to bring it home to have later, we put it in a takeaway box and then forgot it. Im still sulking now. Exceptionally fantastic resteraunt.

Disappointing birthday meal. I wanted to go to Barrington's to celebrate my birthday with my family for Sunday lunch. We'd been before a couple of years ago and had a lovely experience, however, it was really not as good this time. We were greeted and seated quickly and with a couple of the party stuck in traffic, joined about 10 minutes later which gave us some time to look at the menus. Drinks orders were taken promptly once the full party arrived. The glasses the cocktails came in were very basic and slightly unexpected shapes but drinks tasted nice which was the main thing. From this point our table was largely ignored. It took a further 20 minutes to order food from this point and had to flag down a waitress to do this. Food orders taken nicely and staff were polite. Sunday lunches came out well and on the whole were good. Roast potatoes were pretty hard and had clearly been kept on a hot plate for a while. Wouldn't recommend the cauliflower cheese as a side, £5.50 for four pieces of undercooked cauliflower in a thin 'cheesy' sort or milky sauce. Otherwise food was good. No one checked back on us to see how the food was throughout the meal despite the waitresses not being particularly busy for the duration of the meal but it wasn't until we'd finished that we really started having issues. No one came to take our plates away at all for about 20 minutes after finishing. We ended up catching a waitress's attention to ask for dessert menus, which we got only two menus for a table of 6 people? And then she only took three people's plates before disappearing to run another table's food. So we still had gravy filled plates in front of half the table for a further 5 minutes whilst trying to pass around two menus for all of us. Eventually a different waitress took the rest of our plates with our desserts order. The desserts, wow... Four of the party ordered the berry crumble with custard. After waiting 25 minutes for desserts by, which point people around us that had come in after us were already finished since they were served significantly faster than us, the deserts came out... Almost completely cold. Cold crumble and cold custard. Not sure how after 25 minutes since our order but we immediately sent them back and the waiting staff apologised. The other two parties ordered ice cream and the waffle with ice-cream, in which the waffle was also completely cold despite saying on the menu it was served hot. By this point we just ate the waffle to avoid further issues sending food back. About 10 minutes later the crumbles reappeared. The same ones just 'reheated', with the custard on top, so had of course formed a horrible skin on top which was extremely unappetising. The crumbles were so dense that they were difficult to break up, very little berry filling in 3 of the 4 desserts, not enough custard for such a dry dessert and was still just about warm in temperature. The waitress took two of the crumbles off the bill for us because honestly they were not nice at all. Overall very disappointing experience and didn't feel like much of a celebration meal.

First time at Barringtons and will definitely be returning. The food was amazing and was possibly the best steak that I've ever had. I find it hard to understand why so many people comment on the age of the waiting staff, they were absolutely spot on and nothing was to much. I would highly recommend this restaurant and I'm looking forward to my next meal there.

Nice unplanned birthday meal for my teenager on 1st feb, food was nice, ate far too much, but only ourselves to blame there lol! Starters nicer than mains which had a microwave edge to them I.e burgers not brilliant but all in enjoyable experience in a rainy quiet weekday night, nice casual atmosphere young girl who was running the front of house was absolutely lovely, attentive and friendly, epitome of good staff right there, thanks to her for a lovely Reception and good service and I hope she has a fabulous Thailand experience!

Our first time at Barrington,hoped for a good meal.....and it was exactly that Food was a real treat,we chose lots of small dishes from an array of wonderful choices. A good way of trying things like Ribs,potatoes,greens, palenta,chicken,peppers all tasty and filling. Desserts were excellent. I must say the young staff were happy and attentive,I hope the boss realises what an asset they really are. Can't fault anything......will definitely be back. Thanks Barrington !! .

We had a great family meal for 3 tonight for my wife's birthday. The food was amazing for the price, and the service was just as good. I didn't get our hostess name, but I wish I had, as she truly made the night. She totally involved my son with every decision making and even went out her way to find him some crayons to do some colouring... Add to this that the wife got a free cocktail for her birthday, the whole experience was worth every penny.. If you're looking for a lovely independent restaurant with great drinks, food, parking and location then you can't go wrong. We'll be back very soon. Neil Card.

Food was very nice and didn’t wait long for it, probably because we were the only ones in there. I don’t know if it’s because it was a Sunday, or because it was super quiet but there was a severe lack of service. The girls serving were nice enough whilst asking for our orders but didn’t seem bothered about how our food was, if we needed another drink (we did) and didn’t even say goodbye to us once we paid our bill. We were also absolutely freezing sat by the door covered by curtains that were left open most of the time, it seems the front door doesn’t close properly? I don’t like to leave bad reviews and I feel the place has lots of potential but maybe just needs major tweaking in some areas.

I wasn't at all happy with the service I experienced today very rude meat tough swimming with gravy to the extent it was spilling out all over table she really didn't want to change my meal at all just said will bring you more meat I said it wasn't acceptable and if she didn't change it just take it away and take off the bill she went away tutting and bought a fresh meal wasn't great wouldn't go back.

Such an awful experience. We arrived and our table wasn't ready which was fine as we took a seat at the bar. We were seated at our table around 30mins late. We were a table of 6 and sat upstairs near a very noisy table which would have been OK except the staff completely ignored us and focused entirely on them! We sat for 45mins and weren't even given menus, we had to help ourselves. Within 2 mins of us getting our own menus the staff then asked us if we were ready!! The food took around 30/40mins to come out and was completely average when it did. We weren't then offered a drink or even a dessert menu! Eventually we decided to leave and when we spoke to the person at the front to complain about our experience she suggested we should have been nosier like the other table as they got lots of drinks and desserts! She also blamed the fact that they employ lots of 16 and 17 year olds who can't work lots of shifts! No money off the bill and not even a suggestion of a drink to make up for it. The worst service I have ever experienced and would never want to go back.

If you’re over 20, prob not for you, especially for a Christmas get together. Large tables of people that were served copious amounts of alcohol making them very very noisy. Food is ok, our deserts weren’t very good- the chocolate orange sundae comprised of a bowl of vanilla ice cream with a couple of chocolate orange pieces on top. Unfortunately, won’t chance it again here.

Booked a table six weeks in advance and on arrival was kept waiting for ten minutes before a member of staff came over to take us to our table which was next to the toilet and was cold in that area. We ordered drinks and our food and the young waitress who was very nice came back to tell us there was no ribs for the combo then minutes later returned to say they only had one piece of chicken left for the four of us. As you can imagine we was not happy how can you run out of food for an eight o'clock booking. The restaurant needs some Tlc and all the staff looked like they had just left school no sign of any management. At this point we was told if u don't want to stay that's fine the drinks will be free. So we decided to leave and was lucky to get a table in the Rayleigh spicy where we had a fantastic meal. Thanks for the free drinks but won't be returning.

Really disappointing 😕 have been here twice before last year and couldn't fault the food, service and atmosphere. So booked table for 10 for a sixty birthday celebration with high hopes of a similar experience. Oh my what's has gone wrong? At least 3/4 of the menu not available, customers on different tables all complaining, staff were very unsure of how to cope and no management available only a poor young girl lumped with standing in! No one to greet at reception then when seated drinks took 20 minutes and some missing. At this point we were told menu hardly anything available. So 8.30 Saturday night 10 people we considered leaving but had little choice but to make do as no where else available. One of our guests gluten free, not even a gluten free bun. Food was just ok, garlic mushrooms no real flavour, steaks were all cooked well but fries were far too salty and chicken was very dry. We did negotiate a fare bit off the bill and were given free shots as compensation, but unfortunately this will not encourage me to return anytime soon. Such a shame, new management sort this out!

Me and my fiancé went to Barrintons for our first ever date night after our son was born. I booked the table in advance and had to give my card details before even ordering anything. They also sat us at the tiniest table next to the men’s bathroom door and the table where the waitresses sent the orders so we felt very over crowded and kind of pushed to the side. My partner had the steak which was amazing but I ordered ribs and they ended up being so tough that I had to use the steak knife to cut them. After that we ordered dessert, my partner burnt his mouth on the brownie because it was so hot, the ice cream had also melted. I ordered the sorbet and they came melted. The waitress just said sorry that they are melted and left the plate. The waitresses were also very underdressed and had body parts on show that where inappropriate for the restaurant. We won’t be back again for the price and no condolences for the poor food.

Booked a table as had been meaning to try this place out for ages, but will not be returning, service was terrible, ordered 3 small plates for starters, ribs were as tough as old boots! Wouldn’t want to have them for main at £22.5! They had been reheated probably, Halloumi cant go wrong that was fine, chicken bites were ok but just frozen ones from Iceland probably and were lacking the sticky part! Thought we would try burgers, katsu chicken not even a chicken burger 3 overcooked goujons in a bun, beef burger not homemade tasteless and over cooked thought they made their own burgers?? Had some garlic mushrooms and onion rings which were nice and seemed freshly prepared, also ordered bacon mash, which was frozen as some of it was still in pellet form, how a restaurant cant make mash il never know! Especially an independent one, i know a-lot of the big chains use frozen, didn’t bother with desserts, we waited about 40mins between courses too, and the young staff were more interested in talking to each other than serving the tables.

Hate making a fuss but had to send back our mains - roast beef (was not fillet as described) was cold, the Yorkshire pudding burnt, potatoes rock hard and gravy incredibly salty. The waitress was helpful and apologetic but menu, atmosphere and staffing levels need a serious rethink. Wouldn't recommend, shame as has alot of potential.

First impression was walking in on to the stickiest floor in town, this place just beat The Brush. We walked to the table and the floor changed to slippery, I assume layers of dropped food and grease over the years and no cleaning. I’m not even exaggerating, it was difficult to walk on, this was over the entire floor. The tables were made of old scaffolding, also covered in food and grease. I’ve eaten in better building sites. The food was good but absolutely ruined by watching the waitress pump out the cheapest luminous ketchup from an industrial sized bottle. It was the sort of sauce you get in a really rough cafe and totally ruined the food. Wouldn’t go back.

Food: 3 dishes for £15 Saltado peppers - confusing dish. The peppers were cold while the tomato sauce was warm at best. There were some random pieces of spring onion in the dish, and the seasoning was just off. Fresh Greens - this was a small bowl of boiled spinach and green beans with no seasoning, oil, butter. Some seasame seeds and balsamic vinegar on top, but it didn't make any sense, and lacked flavour. Ukranian potatoes - these were okay, but the dish was filled with butter/oil. Main: 2 x Filet Beef Roasts The meat was cold, the roast potatoes were hard with luke warm heat, the yorkshire pudding was solid. As soon as the food arrived on our table, it looked wrong. No steam suggesting that anything was heated. We guessed that the roasts had been out for a long time and that the food had dried out. We spoke to the waitress who was really kind and accommodating, agreeing that the food was really unacceptable. She struck two of the starters and the mains off of our bill. It was a real shame as we had heard good things about the place, but my partner and I agreed it was one of the worst meals we'd had in a long time.

We were welcomed and accommodated upon our arrival even though we hadn’t booked. We should have done our homework and checked the menu beforehand, but have eaten here before, quite a long time ago. I have an intolerance to bell peppers and chilli. Most of the dishes contain one or both. My husband had chicken burger which could have had more chips, and coleslaw should have been included, not an extra. Presentation lacking. I had to opt for small dishes - green beans & spinach, garlic mushrooms and halloumi (plain). All tasty, but not filling. Servers were exceptional. Knowledgeable about all ingredients and helped me choose my safe options. Friendly and efficient, couldn’t have done any more to make us feel welcome. However, we weren’t offered desserts and left the restaurant somewhat perplexed that the menu is so restrictive. I accept that I should have done my research.

We discovered Barringtons through a couple that were out with us who recommended we try there after Prezzo down the road hugely less us down that evening. There were 6 of us who managed ti get a last minute booking in at Barringtons and what...

We have been to this restaurant previously and are therefore quite sad to see how it is deteriorated since. The only real positive was the server who was good at her job and polite but that is where the good points end. The "small plates"...

Food was ok but were booked for an early dinner at 6pm and did not expect to be seated next to a table of very drunk diners. The diners were exceptionally loud to the point that we could not hold a conversation and they were...

Not much we didn't try from the menu. Every dish was very tasty. Nice how the menu is occasionally updated and so keeps the best dishes

Misread the email about the Mothers Day roast kits so ordered the day after the last orders. But called and was advised that no problem you will get your meals. So 6 Roast beef starter kits arrived on Saturday evening. Huge Yorkshire puddings and excellent...

Aesthetically the restaurant, menu, seating, staff give the impression of a fancy restaurant. The staff were fairly attentive, routinely asking if we wanted more drinks. We were a large table, and seemingly allocated 2 hours, however because of the size of the table the service...

Not as good as once was. We’ve been coming here since it opened and gradually feel it’s gone downhill. Service has always been an issue. Waiting for someone to take order. Drinks take a while. Past couple of times we’ve been asked if we want...

The food was up to a good standard. The starter prawns lacked taste (see below). The slow cooked pork rib as a stater was well cooked and teh emat fell of the bone easily. The sauce was good. The mushrooms were well cooked, not over-cooked,...

Six stars experience. The food is beyond good and, it's important to know that they keep changing the menu to bring their customers tastes from different parts of the world. If you want something local and familar, they've got it. If you want to try...

Read good reviews so thought we’d try. Terrible service! The male host was rude, abrupt and should NOT be front of house. He slammed the door close after my 15 yr daughter walked in, which scared & upset her, his attitude from there was terrible....

On the positive side our waitress was lovely under the circumstances but I have to say it was awful. We had to send all of it back, roasts and burgers, as it was stone cold on cold plates. There was 6 of us and there...

We usually love Barringtons but the Sunday roast was poor. Food took almost an hour to come out and it wasn’t busy. We were the only ones sat upstairs where it was really cold. Veg must’ve been frozen…was all watery when you bit into it....

We booked a table for 7 at 6pm. The restaurant had one other table. Although we received a 25% discount for the state of our meals, I'd much rather had paid full price and not returned all the mains and accompanying side dishes - all...

What a shame, we have been going here for many years and have always enjoyed the food & service. Unfortunately this time the new menu looks ok from the outset, so was excited to order, but the food standard was really poor. What a letdown!...

Booked a table for 3 for 7.30 with no problem. Even got the email conformation. Travel all the way to Southend from basildon to try this restaurant only to find it was shut. No phone call no nothing.

10/10 amazing flavour and very meaty the chicken chunks are big and flavourful. These are up there with any London wing joint. A must visit! That hickory rub is the one!!!
