A great night had by all even though it was before the end of restrictions and we were outside. The weather was disgraceful and poured down but we were under the tenting, there were plenty of heaters and staff issued extra blankets too. The staff were very attentive, the food was great and served piping hot, a really enjoyable night under difficult circumstances, would highly recommend

It’s great what they have done to accommodate eating outside.We waited about 15 minutes for our first drinks, which we ordered via a waitress. we were informed people use the app & order drinks & cocktails which it seemed if you do this you get it quicker.Karen who was looking after us was very nice & very attentive. The food was very nice, having the burger. Hopefully the weather will get warmer & we won’t have to eat wearing a coat.We had a lovely evening seeing our friends

Had a great evening on the opening night. The food was amazing - so many yummy items that it was difficult to choose. The service was super - it felt that the staff really went out of their way to ensure we enjoyed ourselves. The outside seating area is lovely and there was a wonderful atmosphere and although it was a cold night weather wise, it was surprisingly warm with all the heaters dotted around. All safety measures are in place too. We can't wait to return! Thank you to the Jobber's Rest!

Just home from a lovely lunch at the Jobbers.Plenty of parking. Outside garden for smokers or eating/ drinking.We pre booked out lunch time booking on line .. A glass of bubbles to start, we ordered bread & dips to share. It was so tasty, and given plenty of fresh cut bread. For mains we had the salmon, with chips. This came up beautifully cooked & lovely and hot.Our waiters were attentive & checked all was okay with our food. It was lovely.We had the 2for1 offer. Which our waiter done before the bill was given to us.I’m just so disappointed our restaurants have to close for a while due to covid.,Once open again we will definitely be going back ..

We saw a few negative reviews about the service here during covid, but decided to give the Jobber's Rest a try. We weren't disappointed! Our waitress Lucy was funny, friendly, and took our orders with a smile (even though she was wearing a face shield and it was busy). The food was fantastic, I had the Cheese Souffle, the Roast Beef and the Chocolate Fondant all of which I scoffed with delightful enthusiasm! We spent the better part of 3 hours eating, drinking and relaxing without being rushed, fussed, or forgotten (as sometimes happens when you stay for a long time in a pub like this eating and drinking for hours). We would have stayed longer, but we couldn't eat or drink anything else - we will definatley be back!!!

My visit with family last night proved to be the worst dining experience I’ve had under Covid. Fully understanding the measures and rules, staff at the Jobbers Rest took all the enjoyment away by being rude and over the top. We were a household of 5 and wish we hadn’t bothered. I would discourage anyone going here whilst Covid is ongoing unless you enjoy average food and awful service.

Awful service the woman with the blonde curly hair was extremely rude. The food was OK I have been to the Jobbers Rest in the past on different occasions but the service this trip was enough to make sure I will never return.We appreciate that restaurants/pubs are under extreme pressure to adhere to the ever changing regulations but there is a way to address this to customers and our visit was certainly not one of those.

Excellent 'Covid' precautions adhered to, from spacious table rearrangement to staff wearing facial masks and making great efforts to continuously clean tables, handrails etc.We've eaten here a couple of times in the past and thoroughly enjoyed the experience; therefore, we decided to take the opportunity to revisit during the August promotion to entice patrons back to eating out. We weren't disappointed! The food was wonderful and, unlike some other restaurants we visited after lock down, The Jobber's Rest high standard of quality and presentation remained the same as before.

The food was delicious and they were so adaptable and accommodating as i am gluten and dairy intolerant! It is tough to go out and enjoy a meal when you have awkward dietary requirements, but when you find somewhere that are so accommodating it makes the experience all the more enjoyable!!Plus the service is spot on as always!

Excellent restaurant. Nice atmosphere. Very attentive staff. Food was superb. My Boeuf bourguignon was melt in the mouth. Husband's steak was cooked exactly how he liked it (no mean feat!) I was given a spoon along with my knife and fork, and it only took one taste for realise why; the meat just fell apart, the mash was smooth, and the spoon really was necessary for all the amazing juices. We went on a Virgin experience voucher, but chose alternative meals and paid the extra. It was well worth the money, and we would definitely go back! Our waitress Karen; blond hair, black glasses (hardly middle aged, as described in one review on here!) was amazing: Helpful with our choices, checking to make sure everything was okay, even opening the windows when she could see I was a little bit warm. We arrived 45 mins early as misjudged the distance from home, but they sat us immediately. All staff were Covid perfect. Very happy. Would definitely drive 30 miles to get here again!

Every mouthful was great and so flavourful. Will definitely be back. The staff were attentive and helpful.

We went there today the 12th August and I did not find it a pleasant experience. The temperature was 31 degrees and we are in the middle of a heatwave. It was totally unbearable. My hair was soaking wet throughout the meal and I was so uncomfortable I could not settle. I really think a place of this nature owned by Raymond Blanc who is a millionaire that he could afford to air condition this place. It was one of the most unpleasant experiences ever. Even the staff looked uncomfortable and sweating hot. The food was ok for what we got but it was not exceptional. We were in a party of 4 and had to ask to move tables after an hour or so as the sun was beating in on our table. I would think twice about going here on an exceptionally hot day again.

We were looking forward to our first date night since before lockdown, have been to the Jobbers before and always found the food good. Unfortunately, yesterday we were seated and our waitress (middle aged lady, blonde hair with black glasses) completely ignored us for 15 minutes. The waitress was very attentive to the party of 6 next to us but avoiding eye contact with our table, we weren’t even asked for a drink in this time and decided to leave after 20 mins. It’s a shame because the other half of the restaurant the waitresses were all very smiley and happy, we couldn’t get a smile out of our waitress and ultimately decided not to spend our money on poor service.

First visit back to the Jobbers since lockdown and it didn't disappoint. Sat in the garden for a drink first and ordered quickly and easily via the new app. Drinks arrived in minutes. This was followed by a lovely lunch inside where all social distancing guidelines were being followed. I had the dressed crab which was lovely and hubbie had the burger. Lovely chat with the manager and she even gave us a prosecco each on the house which was a lovely touch. Will be back again soon.

I was slightly dubious on how things would be with the new COVID restrictions in place, but it was not to disappoint- excellent food and service as usual, The menu had many choices, (even plant based options, which is something that few restaurants seem to have). Everywhere was spotless, with cleaning of tables and surfaces taking place throughout the evening. Then a bonus of a eat out to help out discount at the end!

Visited today on their first day open so was prepared to cut them some slack but basically a very over price average meal and very slow frustrating service.Ordered some nibble. Olives came first and had to wait for garlic bread and chase it up. Main meal took an hour to arrive! Husbands fish & King prawn curry had one literally one prawn in it and rice tasted boiled. Really small portion which in part we expect as it is meant to be gastro cuisine but even so this was a very small portion and not much sauce. My salmon was average and so over priced for what it was. Sons steak was probably best meal. When we were eating we noticed others sending back bill in order to get discount for government eat out to help out scheme. Then we had to do the same. Frustrating really as of course people want the discount! We won’t be back for a while and will try other places instead. Sad as pre Covid we love it here.

I wanted somewhere a bit special for my birthday meal so we booked a table with family here. It was disappointing. The food was very average, small portions and overpriced. The starters to share had 2 tiny pieces of bread and we had to order more. My main meal consisted of some fairly dry rice which was stuck around the top quarter of the dish, a very small slither of red mullet and 2 king prawns, which when peeled, proved to be more shell than anything else. None of us have large appetites and normally find restaurant portions too large! We chose not to have dessert but the bill still came to £236 for 6 of us! I wish we had gone next door to The Thatched House.

We have been there couple of times, but our Sunday visit will most certainly be the last. The staff although polite and cheerful have no idea of allergies/have had no training on the new menu. The only non meat option that had no nuts (mussels) had run out. This also happened on our previous visit. To my request for recommendations waitress offered fish cake that is no longer on the menu, it took 25 minutes of back and fourth to the kitchen and finally the order of smoked salmon and fishcake (that chef kindly agreed to make) was placed. When starter arrived and I started eating it, I decided to check if the green dressing on the plate contains nuts, and was assured that it does not, however a minute later waitress came back and took my plate away as it turned out it did indeed have nuts. At this point I gave up on trying to have a starter. Once we managed to have our mains and finished them it turned out all of the desserts contained nuts, so no dessert for me either. And then came the comedy of errors putting Faulty Towers to shame. The first bill was with all the things I did not have and was £30 higher than our last one. Manager (?) came to take the paiment and when I mentioned that perhaps more considerate menu options would be great, she expressed opinion that all non meat options are bland, so have to have nuts to add at least some flavour and that my comments can be passed to head office, but as they have 50 sites they won’t really care. So I guess being a guest of theirs does not really matter. This is not a one star review purely due to the previous visits and nice interior... but I guess if you have 50 sites what is one upset guest.

Unfortunately , we felt the food was a bit hit and miss, some items really tasty and some not very good at all. There was a particular issue with the paella which to be fair the waitress and manageress did practically all they could do to resolve so I do feel they have a really good customer service ethic.

The Jobbers Rest provides a great selection of good food, nicely cooked and efficiently served. We were greeted by friendly staff, given great attentive, not intrusive to good conversation but enough to ensure that we could order as soon as we were ready. A lovely meal followed.

Had a great time for my husband's birthday. The fillet steak was first class and the cheese soufflé was outstanding. I could not fault the food, staff, cleanliness or atmosphere. Top notch!

Just back from a meal here with my sister, we hadn’t tried it since it’s been changed to Brasserie Blanc and we both live minutes away. The waitress was really friendly and helpful and the food was very good, we really enjoyed ourselves and will definitely return.

I visited the Jobbers Rest for lunch with a friend and her child mid week. The set lunch menu is great value, the food was well cooked and tasty and service was friendly. The a la carte menu has a good selection to suit all tastes and the dining space is nice. Great venue for family or group meals. It’s not fine dining, but it’s well cooked, decent quality gastro pub food.

I visited the Jobbers on Friday evening with a large group of girl friends. I live locally but some of my friends don't and were drivers for the evening. Within our group, some of us were able to enjoy the benefits of their extensive (if a little expensive) wine list. Others sadly, were not. Because of this, we decided to pay for our bottles of wine as they arrived at our table. Having purchased a bottle of red wine my friend noticed on her receipt that she had been charged a £3.00 service charge. At first she was a little embarrassed to query it but did bring to my attention. I too ordered and paid for a bottle of wine, and again was charged a service charge of another £3.00. As a group, we eat out often and are always more than generous with our service charges, especially if the service we have received is of a high standard but as a rule, this is something that happens at the end of the evening! At this point we did query their service charge policy and were told that it happened automatically. Really? Our waitress, who remained incredibly professional, passed our concerns on to management who went on to explain that we should have been given the option at the time of payment and offered us a full refund with a full apology. We declined the refund but took it into consideration at the end of the meal. Needless to say, no service charge was added to further drinks. The Jobbers is a great place to meet up with friends and family but please CHECK you receipts.

While eating in what is a designated “Dog Safe” area of the pub, our dachshund puppy found a box of rat poison under the raised sofa at the back where we were sat. We immediately took the box out of his mouth and my fiancé shook it and a big green ball of rat poison fell out!

Excellent menus are complemented by very efficient and friendly staff and, for the quality of the food and preparation, reasonable prices. The tables are thoughtfully set out so that there is plenty of space making the whole dining experience excellent.

The Jobber's Rest continues to be the best restaurant in the Upminster area. It has a new Summer menu which is extensive and appealing. In fine weather the large garden area is very attractive and very popular. The staff as always are excellent.
