Grumpy Shirley's Diner in Southend-on-Sea

They had on a event that they wanted families to come to. Someone had fainted. The paramedics had asked for a chair for the person.Some drunk thought someone was stealing his chair and started swearing in front of a young child and trying to cause a fight. When the someone was getting a chair that was asked for by the ambulance staff and when the incident occurred the bar staff did nothing.There was no bouncer or manager around. The guy should of been barred for life. In weatherspoon he would of have been. When someone asked the bar staff said although they allow children, they can't control customer's language, The drunk seemed to be working for the pub on the night and someone mentioned he was the DJ for the night. No manager got involved, bar staff watching and doing nothing. The guy who was swearing and wanted to fight should be banned or sacked. What decent human denies something that has been asked for by a paramedic!

I have been coming to Clarkes for a few years now and i must say its always been lovely. The food was yummy as always and the service was great too. Definitely recommend to my family and friends.

My lady friend in her 80s and me were having a pleasant day and just wanted an Ice cream. We stopped at this window because advertised Italian Gelato. The man attending the public offended my friend who was walking with crutches due to a hip injury. She is under huge amount of pain and medication but that won’t stop her lively spirit from trying to go out and enjoy a good summer day. Is a way to take her mind out of the pain. My friend was asking questions about the flavours, the price, etc… as a pensioner and client she has the right to enquires. I’m not sure what he saw on my friend but that man in the counter (perhaps in his menopause) right away tall her if she was dunk? It was only midday. How rude, and what an aggressive customer service that was. My friend told him right away she was holding herself onto crutches, and that she was under medication. She told him he should not be working in that place. The man didn’t apologise. He just avoided the fact that he insulted my disabled lady friend in her 80s and wanted to change the conversation. We shouldn’t have bought the expensive scoop of ice cream. £7 for two ice creams. One in a cone and the other one in a small paper cup. They were tiny scoops that looks like one. The point is that that man that Saturday 20th July should not be serving to the public.

awful kebab, was in a cheap tortilla wrap covered in cheap sauce,meat was poor quality salad was no better than meal deal box lettuce

Excellent service. The cod and chips were lovely and tasty.
