Exhibition Inn in Rochford

£45 and every thing was cold and it was delivered by car. Not great when you have ordered Steak and jacket potato

Plates cold...v disappointing because the carvery meat was good. Food is tepid by the time you get to your seat inspite of the gravy. Very little cheese sauce on the cauliflower cheese - wouldn't bother - when asked they are only allowed to use one sachet per tray 🙄. Roast potatoes are hit and miss in my experience. Staff are wonderfully welcoming and hardworking considering they are worked to death tho being ignored by the gentleman who should have welcomed us instantly but preferred to socialise with junior staff was distinctly disappointing.

Poor quality no jacket potatoe substitute with chips very small portion of Lasagne

I see you do a vegetarian roast dinner (in a Yorkshire pudding wrap, I think?). Could you also do a meat version of the Yorkshire pudding wrap? Would be ace!!!!!

We always have such a good time here, we’ve made it our local go to! Paul and all the staff are very friendly and welcoming, and the food is always spot on. Keep up the good work guys! Xxx

Very nice lamb roast! I'd love an option to add extra roast potatoes on the side as they were delicious 😋

We ordered prawn cocktail, salad, onion rings and fries. All tasty. We also enjoy their Sunday roasts. And their gammon. Please add gravy to your menu to buy separately. Recommended.

Loved the build your own breakfast 👍 Banana split is great! Delivery on time. Thank you all.

Friendly service, great selection of food and drinks too! We went for a drink and some lunch last weekend, with hope to watch the football. They have screens everywhere, it’s fantastic! I certainly recommend!

Delicious and hot steak and ale pie containing excellent gravy, served with chips and peas. A real treat.

This is our local. We love the food the pub and the staff

Repeat customer. We ordered gammon, jacket potato and coleslaw. Really good meal. Quick delivery by the pub directly. Recommended.

Lovely grub as always. Introduce a breakfast wrap to the menu!!! 😉

I wasn't sure how hot the food would be in travelling from Wakering to Southchurch but it was hot and very tasty and well worth ordering again from The Exhibition. Thank you.

Food was awful. Garden is nice.

Food was nice but only slight criticism steak was medium well rather than medium but still was very nice

Scrumptious as always. Thank you!

The food was absolutely amazing, will definitely be ordering again 😋

Excellent roast dinner. The beef and lamb were very nice and love the potatoes and Yorkshire.

never had beef sliced so thin, was like paper so not very tasty. overall could have been hotter

Ordered prawn cocktail which was lovely. Then a side salad which was exceptionally good with rocket, cucumber, tomato, peppers, beetroot. The garlic bread and the chips were tasty but both needed a bit more cooking to make them even better. All served on paper plates with foil. Recommended.

it was easy to order and quick to be delivered. food was lovely

Really enjoyed my whole order. And quick delivery. Thank you.

Lovely grub delivered by a lady with a beautiful smile

Best beef stew and dumplings ive had in a long time

driver turned up and basically chucked a bag of food at me and when I got it up to my room had a bag full off meat and gravy pouring all over they'd put it on like a kids paper plate.food was not very tasty and wasn't a lot there for nearly £20 for stu and dumplings I'd give this place a miss if I was you.

beef was very dry and old ,yorkshire was severely undercooked. 2 mouthfuls of crumble per portion? really?. won't be ordering from here again..

First time ordering here. Ordered 2 roast dinners (chicken and beef ones). Plenty of meat, potatoes with veg mash, carrots and cabbage. Lovely gravy. Really tasty. Delivered on time on paper platters/plates. Recommended.

Great food will order from here again 5*

Spent Christmas day here with the family. Atmosphere was lovely and warm, food was great and really good value. They took all the hassle away and was just as special as being at home (especially being in front of a log fire!).

Good hot food, never disappointed. Delivered by friendly staff. Thank you.

Great all round....well done to.all

I’ve never had a bad meal from the Exhibition Inn. The food is always fresh and cooked with high quality ingredients. I’ve pretty much tried most of the menu now, barring the steaks. Delivery is always prompt and customer service is consistently excellent. If you are fancying a traditional pub grub, give this place a go!

Top marks all round food great staff great atmosphere great and I would definitely recommend this pub for a Sunday lunch

Really nice Roasts. Good portions as well. Recommended

I have to say I thought it was my delivery at the door, so surprised it was so early but so appreciated as I was starving but forgot to give a tip, sorry I can honestly say it was the best roast I've had delivered. Really can't fault any of it. I will certainly be ordering again. Thank you so much you didn't disappoint ❤️

As always an absolutely delicious roast dinner. My go to place every Sunday

Tasty homecooked food. Delivered piping hot. Will order again

The roasts from the exhibition are normally lovely but very disappointed today the roast potatoes were rock hard, over cooked couldn't even put a knife through them, portions weren't as big either

Went on a Sunday afternoon, chose the Sunday roast, was disappointed with the roast potatoes and vegetables, felt like they had been cooked and kept warm. Have been previously, and meal has been spot on. Hope this was just a blip...

Great food, just what we needed, cooked well and plenty on the plates

Always lovely food. And great Banana split. Delivered early by friendly staff. Thank you.

Lovely food again. Delivery on time. Thank you.

Food was incredible and i love the way they send them out on the disposable plates!! Saves having to use actual plates they were sturdy enough 😁

Really loverly Roasts ( as usual). Always recommend this one 😏

Excellent build your own. Tasty and hot. Well wrapped. Friendly on time delivery. Thank you.

Chips were sparse and a bit lack luster with the burger. Other than that all okay!

Great dinner. Excellent Banana split! Delivered by friendly staff. Thank you.

Excellent build your own. Piping hot, well wrapped, delivered on time by friendly staff. Thank you.

Saturday lunch time. My friend had a cheese ploughman’s and I had a bacon and mushroom omelette with peas and chunky chips. We both loved our choices and weren’t disappointed. It was as described, nothing fancy, exactly as expected from the description. Would definitely recommend and will return ourselves.

Visited on Friday 26th May 2023. The best fish and chips I have ever had. Well done !

After spending money on few drinks and meal was humiliated at table by rude barmaid who insisted on charging for drink I did not order or want. Drink was handed back and owner didn’t give a damn despite us being regular customers. What poor customer service and bad business management. Estimated annual spend on food and drink in excess of £700 just lost! Also will inform others of bad experience so more money lost……foolish attitude!

Beautiful food and lovely and hot

Ok. Not terrible. 'Country' chicken was just a plain piece of chicken. Good size and nicely cooked but nothing Country about it. In my world Country chicken is with a white wine cream sauce with vegetables and mushrooms. The ham was oddly chewy and fibrous but the egg was excellent, even survived the delivery intact.

How refreshing to find a local pub that offers home made high standard food at a very reasonable price. So many restaurants and pubs are ripping off the public by charging higher prices for 3 star plastic food. In the current climate where the general public are finding it a luxury to eat out.This establishment is one of very few that provides people with value for money. I rarely write reviews but this pub deserves a well earned 5 star review.

Had a roast lamb Sunday dinner delivered. Food was lovely, it arrived hot, the vegetables were all fresh and the portion size was excellent. All in all a proper 'home cooked' Sunday roast which I will definitely be having again. Compliments to the chef!

Ordered lamb roast dinner and it was scrummy.

Lovely breakfast delivered hot .

Had the breakfast, build your own. Highly recommend the fried slice! Great breakfast, thank you

Scampi and chips was full of flavour, veg lasagna was tasty and satisfying. Def recommend

Absolutely delicious! Finally an amazing place in wakering for breakfast 🙌🏻

Food was piping hot and delicious - chips were crispy and the pie filling was tasty and tender. Thank you.

Excellent food and value for money,

Lovely food, delivered on time. Thank you.

Lovely meals, all food fresh and tasty. Thank you.

The food was utterly delicious, it was delivered quickly and we were delighted to find meals that were different from the usual types of takeaway available locally - but it arrived cold. It was served on paper plates with a loose covering of tin foil over the top and brought to the door in thin plastic bags. As there was a lot of sauce involved in both main dishes, the presentation didn't travel well either! Wakering to Southchurch is a bit of a way so we didn't expect piping hot, but it really does need to be transported in takeaway containers and insulated bags. We really do want to order again but please fix this.

Lovely food. Great service. Friendly staff overall was a lovely experience

Very helpful staff Sunday dinner Very well presented It's one of these hidden gems

Had a wonderful lamb roast with real roast potatoes!! Nothing frozen here and veg cooked perfectly. Wonderful service too!!

Absolutely delicious will definitely be ordering again the beef and lamb was succulent the roasts were worth every penny

Lovely burger but the bun let it down

The food is always good, fair amount of choice on the menu, nice delivery guy

Omg the roast was awesome! Lovely atmosphere and the girls are darlings defo going again

Very good food at a great price. Staff friendly and efficient. First time I have been there for many years will be back soon.

My x mas food was a disaster staf are all rude food was nasty booked for 51t never sat down till 715 food was late all late out not a good place never would I go to this rude pub again

I ate something that tasted chemically in my salad, presentation and quality poor.

Bit disappointing if I’m being honest I ordered the steak and ale pie and could barely taste any ale n the steak was really dry and bland the quality of the food was good there was lots of meat but just lacked flavour

Food was lovely nice it came on plates only fault was the mash potato was slightly bland and didn't taste of much

It was a delicious meal. Good temperature on arrival. Beautiful tender meat, crisp roasties, fresh veg and a Yorkshire pudding which was a not soggy but it is hard to keep a Yorkshire from doing that.

3rd time ordering from here, and always tasty good food that fills your belly

Just discovered this on just eat, absolutely fantastic. Just ordered for the third time tonight. Food is delivered on a cardboard plate, ready to eat. Its piping hot. Tastes more like restaurant food than home delivered. Very very impressed

Not my favourite.Potaoes were awful

Worst roast potatoes iv ever had they was boiled potatoes with some sort of crusty stuff put on top was awful never again ordering from here.

A great roast dinner, Roast potatoes were massive and cooked to perfection, nice selection of veg and the lamb was also cooked perfectly, and generous portions of each to fill you up

The food was served on paper plates with tin foil over it which made the plate soggy and overall the means we're sloppy. The portion for Shepard's pie was reasonable and if in better serving would have been ok, however portions of other meals were extremely undesirable and looked like half a kid's meal supposed to be a full meal. Can't recommend highly enough how the meals are packaged needs improvement.

Best place to order home cooked pub grub with care and love put into it. Food was hot and lovely, just like being in the pub

Third take away delivery meal we’ve had and all have been superb.

fish and chips supper standard excellent .would recommended to anyone .will definitely be going again . price ( cheap as chips ) highly recommended .👍🤗.

Had roast lamb it came all plated up already and was bloody absolutely delicious 😋 will defo be ordering or go there in person again 😋😋

Lamb roast was soooo yummy I will definitely order from here again or go in person like the way they plated it all up as well and Pently on the plate too

Best steak I've ever had! Thank you

Really nice hot food. Recommend

Terrible. Told I would get a refund, they wanted to food back never collected it. Will never order again. 2 steaks were on the turn, my dessert never came. £50 down the drain.

This used to be such a lovely pub with great atmosphere & fabulous food. My husband & I have been going there for about 35 years & have never been disappointed until today. We both ordered the steak & ale pie which we have had many times previously & it’s always been the best we’ve ever had. However, the meat was inedible for me as it was so hard & chewy & the ale was non existent. Even my husband couldn’t plough his way through it. I asked for carrots instead of peas but apparently there was no time to peel or cook them as they now do “Just Eat” & were busy with that. The barmaid asked if we could go have a discount but she was told we couldn’t although we hadn’t actually asked for money off anyway but it would have been a nice gesture instead of the don’t care attitude. It won’t be somewhere we visit much now & I definitely won’t be ordering that pie again. We are 2 very disappointed loyal customers.

Hot yummy food, nice delivery guy, good quality, lots of choice on the menu

A lovely roast, arrived hot and on time. Thank you!

Absolutely lovely food will be ordering again

Really nice food, could have done with an extra slice on the garlic bread

Great portion size, steak was cooked perfectly, salad was a bit of a let down but the steak was the star of the dish, wanted to order sauce but the price put me off without knowing how much you get, definitely ordering again.

Superb roasts, good quality ingredients and a good amount of meat.
