Moods at The Red Door in Rochford

Staff are very friendly and attentive, and the atmosphere and music are great. Entry is free before 10 (?) and there’s a happy hour until 9 so you can have a reasonably priced night out here if you come earlier. After that music is way too loud to hold a conversation and drinks are quite expensive

Great place 👌🏻 decent staff that have all the time in the world for you. But a greedy owner that wants to charge entry fee when the country has had the cost of living crisis! More people would come in if you didnt charge! Apart from that, the venue and music is brilliant. I spent £100 staying in the venue and had to spend £6 to get in ? Owner needs a wake up call and be more sympathetic to his customers and how they spend their money+ I will visit again but would rather spend my money behind the bar rather than at the door!

Thank you Samuel for your amazing prompt service! Especially as you were busy, you still prioritised us :-) fab pornstar martinis too!

Had a great time there and great service, even more pleased that they helped massively in retrieving my lost wallet that night, very thankful for that and a top place 👍🏻

Visited the red door last night, had a very pleasant experience with an amazing 3 for 15 cocktail deal.Will definitely be going back.

Such a vibe and a great atmosphere, bar staff are all great characters and friendly, service was amazing as was the music all night. Will definitely come back again

Best night out in Rayleigh, great drinks and amazing atmosphere. Was greeted at the door by a young lady who was friendly and Attentive. Then was told about the amazing deals of cocktails. Will definitely be back again :)

Great service, great night. Well done to the DJ Clive for some great tunes. Our favourite bar in Rayleigh by a mile

When I visited red door the service straight away was amazing they allowed me to take a seat while they took my order right at the table which you don’t see a lot of which is incredible. Their drink menu was outstanding with lots of options. Later on in the night the DJ came in and played really good music and engaged with customers really well I was offered shots by Beth and employees like Hannah and Ed kept offering drinks and were really attentive throughout the night. Overall really good night defo coming back next weekend!!!

It is a bit on the expensive side. However, there was a lovely young man that was serving us but sadly didn't catch a name.

Visited on a Friday night with a friend for a drink. The was a DJ playing old school house tunes and there was a good vibe in the place. Security is quite strict to get in which is reassuring. Pretty standard offerings at the bar and the prices are average. The toilets are very clean and well maintained. The crowd were mostly 20 somethings and it was a mix of different types. Overall a good experience and I will be returning.

Went to the red door last weekend, they seemed to be low on staff with only two people serving, but served everyone with great time management, made drinks quickly and properly, with amazing customer service, would highly recommend for nights out!

Brilliant place to go would totally recommend,music was good and staff where lovely will be going back soon!

Quick service and amazing music. Definitely would recommend. Drinks were really nice and toilets were super clean. Excellent!

Nice quick service, provided me and my mates with a good evening, good music and kind staff. Everything you can ask for.

We have been going to red door for years and last night, for our first post covid night out, were headed in but the doorman stopped us because one of our group of 6 was wearing white trainers. There were people inside wearing white trainers...

Sorry but this place is a joke, turning people away for white shoes?? How?? Yet allowing People in with dirty black trainers. This makes no sense and the place deserves the loss of money

Popped in here for a quick drink before going out for a meal, wish we hadn’t bothered and had just headed straight to our restaurant. We had mojitos, which were truly awful. Bland, tasteless and totally overpriced. Would give 0 stars if we could.

Nice bar with decent music but it’s a shame the drinks don’t match up. The cocktails are tasteless and weak. They taste like a pre mix rather than a properly made cocktail with fresh ingredients. This would be ok if they were reasonably priced but...

My boyfriend and I were in the red door on a Saturday night on a table of 4. The bouncer came over to me and started shouting at me because it was a busy night and we were taking up a table of 4 for...

To begin with, I was overpriced for my first round of drinks (£21.00 for 3 pints) and then they had the audacity to try and defend their error. Later on the owner/manager of this business showed bullish manners & poor customer service, when confronting my...

Alex was great. Very helpful and made our experience great. Very friendly and helped us a lot, great atmosphere

Alex was a lovely bar maid, excellent service and amazing cocktails. 10/10. Can me be fault this place, will always come back for more <3

Had a lovely afternoon drinking cocktails at the Red Door. The Assistant Manager Mathew was a fabulous host. So welcoming and he made the most amazing cocktails. Would def recommend and can’t wait to return 🍸

Fantastic cocktails and even better service from Mathew, what an absolute star and asset to the red door!

Debbie and team especially Alex has been nothing but kind and professional to all my friends. Had the best evening ever. Thanks. Highly recomended

The staff are so friendly and have been very accommodating! Debbie is especially helpful and has been every time we have frequented the bar.

Good night out, staff are excellent and Debbie the manager was very nice and helpful. 5* all the way!

Thank you sooooo much to Debbie and the rest of the staff at red door for the best night out! Such a fun occasion and friendly staff! Will definitely book again!

Debbie is amazing, great service she is so lovely would recommend any day. The cocktails are amazing good price and even after 9 is amazing price !!!!!❤️❤️❤️

Honestly such a lovely lady , works so hard, such a lovely person, so kind, so friendly, really recommend this place x

Debbie the GM was very lovely, cannot fault the service. Great drinks, great service, great laughs! Thoroughly recommend a visit

Excellent service. Great staff. Serving constantly. Great choice of music all night Love you guys thank

Great service this evening. Service with a smile from Debbie. Considering the time she was a star within the staff , giving help to table She weren’t even under her supervision. An example of what an exceptional Staff member should be , never mind it...

Top quality service, drinks were fast and very well socially distanced, Debbie was extremely friendly and helpful

Delicious cocktails, tasted completely fresh. Good layout for social distancing and screens in place between tables.

Highly disappointing ethics displayed last night. We were told there was no room as we hadn't booked (fair enough) and was told we could wait for a table to become free. Then a girl came over and asked the bouncer if she could come in...

Excellent service from Debbie and becki. Well looked after, and guidelines followed. Would highly recommend for a few drinks

Great atmosphere, good social distancing and taking full advantage of the happy hour deals. Will be back soon.

Came in on Wednesday night for the picture quiz night, was so nice to see everyone smiling and all staff were polite and really helpful. It’s puts me at ease seeing all staff wearing Ppe, puts my mind at rest knowing I can have a...

Ordered a roast dinner for fathers day for myself, husband and 2 daughters. The kids roasts are great value at £5. The dinners was amazing..very hot on arrival, gravy supplied too. It was delivered exactly on time. I would definitely order again. The chicken and...

We ordered a home delivery from the Red Door and it was delicious, especially the lamb. Good roast potatoes too! Thank you.

Ordered with the red door through just eat. My order ended up becoming damaged during transit this was no fault of the red door but just eat was no help and said they wouldn’t redeliver. I called the red door direct to re-place my order...

What an amazing meal we all had. The chef, Martin Moody truly knows how to prepare and cook food. Quality food without extortionate prices. We were truly spoiled and nothing was too much bother. I rate my experience as one of the best I have...

Moods@The Red Door. New menu which is absolutely amazing. Great food good for vegetarians and vegans also. Family and dog friendly establishment.

Went last night, love the fact they have the BOGOF cocktails on a friday til 8pm, which is brilliant and atmosphere was great but they just don't have enough staff to cope with the BOGOF cocktail orders.

What can I say 12 people are hard to please bit Duncan done well not one complaint about the venue bit pricey but worth it for that service This was a very busy Saturday night aswell. We will be back for a staff do London...

Had a couple of drinks over 8 quid. When asked for a glass for the bottle of Peroni I was given a pint glass. Also offered ice for the beer... 6 customers on whole place, so not busy. Dirty glasses on many tables. Perhaps we...

Went last night and place was full of 16–18 year olds. Won’t be going again Used to be an older crowd so not sure what has happened

Visited at 6:40 on a Saturday evening for a few drinks as I’d been before and told my husband how nice it was. Stood at the bar, money ready. 2 barmen - one serving, the other went and stood by the front door. No acknowledgment...

We spent Saturday Night here for drinks. Friendly efficient bar staff, friendly Security and great music and atmosphere. Will definitely be going back.

Went on a Friday night had a great evening very busy good music staff were very helpful especially Duncan who was very polite and welcoming Will be back!

Was in rayliegh viewing a motorbike i was interested in buying, done the deal bought the motorbike (yamaha R1) just in case your curious or a motorbike fan. Anyway see the red door and thought time for something to eat and a pint, as soon...

First and last visit, cold food, rock hard potatoes and veg... terrible service! Avoid, avoid, avoid.

No gin glasses and served with lime. Now call me a snob but gin should be served properly and lime insults this drink. Maybe expecting roasted red peppers is too much but a gin glass and a ribbon of cucumber must be within reach.... poor...

Me and my boyfriend decided to go to the red door on Saturday 14th July 2018 me and my boyfriend decided to go to the toilet when coming down the stairs my boyfriend slipped and cut his elbow because the floor was extremely slippery and...

I have contacted the red door on their Facebook and their Instagram if they would do LGBT speed dating nights I got no response and every time the traffic light nights would appear on my Instagram timeline I again would ask if there was any...

Went pre dinner for drinks, had several beers and a bottle of presseco. Went to a near by restaurant then returned at 10pm to be told’ we are quiet so we are not serving’ doors were open and they advertise that they are open to...

Stopped off here before eating at a nearby restaurant. Outside was busy as it was a nice evening inside was very dark and slightly soulless. As we only stayed for one drink can’t comment further.

Last night a friend and I each ordered a drink that came in a jar style glass. The glasses were musty smelling as they clearly were not washed and dryed well. This affected the taste of the drinks which we obviously could not drink for...

Went out to breakfast with my wife and the family dog one Sunday morning after late night drinking. The staff were really nice, actually took an interest in us and engaged into a decent conversation. The Breakfast came up on big plates and the food...

We were a group of 12 people for Sunday lunch. When the booking was made we were informed that we would receive a £5.00 per person discount and that we had to vacate the restaurant by 2.15pm. The restaurant has only very high tables and...

We visited The Red Door recently with friends that live in Rayleigh, we were told that they did a fantastic roast so thought we’d give it a try. We weren’t disappointed when the plates came out, they looked delicious and they were! Succulent roast beef,...

Great night out Saturday for Birthday celebrations. Whenever I have gone out to the Red Door for a night out there is always a great relaxed atmosphere with enjoyable and brilliant music played by DJ Ash Bartram - he never disappoints!! I highly recommend a...

Nine of us went for late Sunday dinner, we were so impressed by the two young girls( one called Sarah) the service was excellent and the food fantastic, we been back twice since.

Late decision to eat here (having not done so up to now). Really nice decor inside, high tables with bar stools and the staff were very friendly. We ordered the Sunday lunch and a side of cauliflower cheese. The meal arrived fairly quick but the...

Ok where to start, Surroundings, clean, warm and smart. Menu small but suffice. Food good quality but not as good as advertised pictures. Very strange set up! No tab, pay as you order , weird! Not enough staff!! Although polite they lacked attention to detail...

Really nice friendly staff , especially Sadie who we found really helpful I would recommend this place also for food !

Went here for Sunday Lunch, and experienced really poor service. We sat down for 10-15 minutes without being served so we had to go up to the bar to order our drink. We tried to order a New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc, and was told they...

What a great Sunday roast. One of the best we have had out, and we go out for a roast every Sunday. Price is good and will definitely be recommending the red door to my friends and family. Will be visiting here again.

First look of it it looks lovely ! Young staff stressed and stroppy . Starters came 20 minuets after ordered , still no dinner 40 minutes after that just was offered free drinks to keep us happy. We walked out in the end wasn’t waiting...

I was treated to a fabulous Sunday roast by my amazing daughter and son in law at The Red Door. The food was beautiful, all freshly Made to order with perfectly cooked fresh vegetables. I had the roast pork belly which I would definitely recommend....

Great venue, a good selection of music, friendly staff and an expanding choice of cocktails and other drinks.

Just before I start the food review, I must say that as of a night time, its great. A little on the pricier side, but the music and lighting makes a nice atmosphere to be around. Although it can get extremely busy. We went to...

First time I visited here was in July , food and cocktails were fabulous, I had the Sex on the beach and paradise cocktails then the tea pot cocktail, think it was called woo hoo. Called in yesterday, had the chicken roast dinner which was...

After having called the red door to book a Sunday lunch I was told to book through Facebook. I then did that but I had to tap in all my card details just to secure the booking. Considering it wasn't going to be me paying...

We had a Sunday lunch. I called to book and asked about seating after reading reviews of very high tables, my mother has mobility issues and was told she should be ok, if not there was some other seating. We arrived and the tables and...

Was recommended to try this Restaurant in Rayleigh by friends and some of the reviews were good, yesterday we were greeted by a member of staff gave us menu, and decided to start with drinks than had two Roast Beef dinners and a roast chicken,...

Went earlier for breakfast. Strong smell of bleach as we went in but carried on. Order was quickly taken & coffees came out. Breakfast took quite a while to appear but was definitely worth waiting for! Good size portion. All hot & fresh. Very nice....

Not lacking atmosphere the stag group I was in merged into the bar virtually unnoticed such is the footfall at this superb music venue. The DJ played winners for the duration I was there and I couldn't fault the efforts. I wanted a real ale...

We decided to try the place out on Sunday to see what it's all about and I must say it was lovely. The young lady who was managing the day did well as did the guy running food considering how busy it was. Lovely roast...

After a previous less than satisfactory visit for a Sunday breakfast, I revisited and was extremely surprised by the excellent quality and quantity of their Sunday roasts. The service was super; food piping hot and the restaurant extremely busy. It's not The Dorchester or a...

Words cannot describe how bad this place really is. Avoid at all costs. If there was there was the opportunity for minus five they would have it. The staff have absolutely no idea, the food is appalling and the management / owner clueless.

Just popped in for a quick drink.... really friendly bar man came over and took our drinks order and brought over free bar snacks Really nice clean modern place... just need cushions on the stools as a numb bum after just one drink! Will definitely...

A nice small venue, not that well managed. The aircon either didn't work the night we were in or the staff were not allowed to turn it on. Given the number of other places in the town maybe worth giving this one a miss.

Love this place in the evening great place for a drink and music. Unfortunately not really the place to go to eat. The food we ordered came out very fast which is great but when you ate it it tasted like it had been sat...

This is a great place to kick off your night if your a little older than 40 Ha Ha then hand over to the younger guys, when packed its hard getting served I hope the new location is a bit better thought out

The bar itself has been done up to a very nice standard, the decor is lovely to have as your surroundings when sitting having a drink. Unfortunately though it seems to lack any personality we found, it looks like a London bar but without any...

Music yesterday was brilliant thanks to the DJ shame about the extremly rude and obnoxious bouncers even when someone told him about a brick that was broken and come out of place from the floor and explained someone women nearly fell over it he was...

Very friendly staff and lovely location with superb decor, starter huge and very good quality main course good but the chef forgot to put on the potatoes on the roast but if fairness this was discounted as an apology and with out having to ask...

Just had lunch ... food was nice and cooked fresh . Nice staff and friendly service . Had the big red door burger and the big breakfast 👍👍👌🏼 I own a pub / restaurant and enjoyed it ..A lot of bad comments on trip but...

Really disappointing evening, poor food, poor service. Food took far too long to arrive, was disappointing; poor quality. Would not consider this a restaurant more a bar with bad food

I usually go to Panchos cantina restaurant which is next door to the red door, in the high street, because i love he food there. But just recently i had noticed that the red doors new food menu is very similar, in fact pratically the...

Stuck up staff and owners , rude and try to belittle people. Zero customer service and the bald manager is the key person at blame

Went to the red door yesterday and I was greeted by a search around 9:45 as I walked into the bar/club/restaurant I have been going to the red door they very first opened. 2015 I never expected the worse. The club was absolutely jam packed...

The Red Door is a welcome addition to Rayleigh and can be a great place to start or end an evening. The drinks can be a little expensive but still a great place to visit. There is a DJ on a Friday and Saturday evening...

I went there with my boyfriend and another couple,and we didn't even make it in the door.The bouncer put his hand in my boyfriends front pocket to search him,without telling or asking him first.When my boyfriend reacted,the bouncer got unnecessarily aggressive and rude.He called him...

We booked afternoon tea for 3 people, to celebrate a birthday. Unfortunately, the birthday girl fell ill on the morning we were due to go in with a sickness bug. There is no phone number that I could find for the Red Door so we...

Visited today with friends. The waitress was very lovely and our coffees arrived without delay, however when we ordered the food we were still waiting nearly an hour later. The waitress apologised for the delay and the manager also came down from his office and...

Arrived 11.00 as part of a group of "Older Ladies" who lunch every Tuesday in and around Rayleigh. Early drinks arrived but food order took forever to the point that our parking was about to expire. Decided that we must leave without eating. The Manager...
