Essex Oyster Company in Castle Point

This place is relatively new, but the food and service are outstanding and in our opinion this is the best restaurant in the area by far - had Sunday lunch and the team were brilliant - will be back. Thank you.

No 10 is a specialist fish/seafood restaurant. It's basically in the middle of an industrial estate - possibly the strangest location we have ever eaten in. I guess a restaurant is all about the food, and inside it's fine - but, you can't really ignore the location, especially in light of the very scruffy car park. The food is excellent, good straightforward menu (primarily fish of course), nicely cooked and presented. The set menu is a real margin (2 courses for around £15. Friendly, helpful staff. Would we go back - YES

Not what we expected we had booked but no table ready for us except by door not much choice on set menu especially dessert very basic seating just wanted sawdust on floor. Parking was up by rusty lockups so didn't get any good vibes at all food OK but nothing special.

Amazing well put together food by some excellent chefs. The staff and owner were very welcoming and helpful. The roast dinner was first class, with other’s ordering fillet steaks. Any of the prawn starters were delicious. Leave room for dessert!!! The restaurant also have a variety of fish dishes that I’m told are excellent. We will be definitely returning hopefully soon.

Attended with friends all the Food was delicious steak cooked perfectly beautiful scallops. Would definite recommend and go back

Really disappointed. Ordered Oysters as a presenter starter but 2 starters of 3 starters arrived with Oysters. After finishing Oysters, we had to wait for the mussel starter. This was delivered without a finger bowl. The seafood broil for mains was without clams or whelks ( told when questioned that menu was wrong to show whelks) & I believe the samphire was rosemary. The prawns were so over cooked they were either mush or rubber. The best part of the broil was the potatoes. Fortunately, the oysters were very good. My comments were reported to our server but they didn't respond to me.

Fanatstic menu and a great roast dinner, already booked for next month. Service is great and family owned restaurant everything is so fresh.

Really, I want to keep this hidden gem to myself but got to share….this place is terrific. The food was delicious , very generous portions. Lovely staff, small and cosy, great for groups or couples

This restaurant is amazing! Every time we go the food is heavenly and everything is cooked to perfection, can’t wait to go back! 😃

Golly. What a wonderful place for seafood. Excellent ingredients all cooked, presented and served straightforwardly but with great care and skill. Comfortable restaurant, personable and thoughtful service. Two of us ate (proper) caviar, three perfect prawn dishes and lovely lobster with sides for £100 and including non alcohol drinks. Gotta go back to try Lobster Mac... ...And home made puddings....we were too full to manage one but they looked yummy... ...and steaks, which I'm sure will match the excellent standard of what we ate today. A place where pride and passion is evident.

The loveliest experiences are out of the way surprises. This small shack in a scaffolding/upvc works car park has oddles of that. Do go

A little gem.The location might seem a bit strange and restaurant quirky …the food is delicious. The small menu means food is all cooked to order and comes out piping hot. Service friendly and prompt.drinks choice as good as any larger restaurant.first visit but not our last.

I live in Leigh on sea, where you’d expect to find a decent fish restaurant but although we have loads of restaurants and we’re by the sea, we don’t have a good fish restaurant So this place was a very pleasant surprise and not too far to travel We had salt n pepper squid and grilled prawns to start. Both excellent and beautifully cooked. Then two skate in brown butter to follow with wonderful chips and a mixed salad We’ll definitely be back and in the meantime wish them continued success

Exceptional lunch fresh seafood cooked to perfection. Service was great. As was the reasonable price. Definitely would recommend & we will return.

1st time at the EOC's new seafood restaurant "No 10" and was blown away. Fantanstic food, cooked to perfection by their very talented team. Very generous portions of what is usually a very expensive cuisine but not here! Cozy themed interior with attentive friendly staff. And all of this in Benfleet, who would have thought it! Will be a regular haunt of ours.

We found this company thru Facebook and decided to visit as we only live in Basildon a stone through away it is tucked away behind the garden centre in pound lane benfleet and my was we glad we visited there the platters they offer were varied in price n size and you could mix them about a bit depending on what you like I wanted lobster so I took away one dressed crab for lobster and the lobster was cooked fresh while we waited we had a wait while the lobster was being cooked so we decided to try their salt beef doorstops yum yum there was so much meat n salad in it my wife couldn’t finish hers but mr piggy (me) did they also do rolls with king prawn and others but the owners were very polite friendly and accommodating definitely well worth a visit we will visit again definitely
