STUNNING LOCATION. GREAT OUTSIDE AREA WITH COSY HEATERS. SERVICE WAS ANAZING FROM ANTONIA. BEST OYSTERS AND HUGE CHOICE! DOG FRIENDLY AND POSITIVE ATMOSPHERE. WATCHED FIREWORKS.

Absolutely dreadful, arrived about 5.10 lovely waiter took our order, drinks & started arrived in reasonable time, then waited over an hour for the main course to arrive, waiter advised about another 10 mins, after waiting another 25 mins we gave up and left. Whether there was a problem in the kitchen or not l don't know but no one in our section had received their meal and were also contemplating leaving as well.

We just popped in the outdoor bar area in a large family group for drinks one evening and the staff were brilliant. There’s a sign asking if children can stay seated which is fair enough as with the lovely plants and sofas there’s not much room but we weren’t there long and our children are older. It had a real holiday feel. Lovely spot on a warm summer evening. Fast friendly service

Excellent food (octopus starters, crab linguine, seafood boil with crab legs). The service was super friendly. We thought the food and wine were good value for money. We'll definitely visit again if in Southend.

Despite having had 'interesting' experiences at the OCK in the past, we decided to give it another go, since we live locally and the summer sun had finally chosen to make an overdue appearance. The restaurant is in a great location and housed in a beautiful listed building, especially, when lit up at night. However, in the past, the service has been akin to Manuel's frantic efforts in Fawlty Towers! The food has always been tasty, but mix ups with orders etc. provided an unwanted cabaret. This evening was different gravy! The food still remains delicious, but the service (Nathan/Ethan?) was top notch. Our meal for two was a little pricey (£128), but thoroughley enjoyable all the same.

We went for a family dinner at 5.30 on Saturday evening. The exterior of the restaurant is lit up with pretty lights and the decor inside is very attractive with lots of quirky accessories connected to the seaside. We were in a cosy corner with a brilliant view of the sunset over the sea. The waiter and waitress could not have been more pleasant and helpful. The main courses were extremely tasty with good portion sizes. Lovely desserts and very good coffee finished off a most enjoyable meal, reasonably priced.

Amazing seafood - we visited here Saturday early evening. We were early for our booking but this wasn’t a problem for the staff here. We were seated on a. 2 seater table. The place is quaint and quirky with a mixture of original features like Georgian bar windows against gold leaf decoration. Absolutely beautiful interior/exterior. We had 3 courses, I had the OCK Oysters, presented on ice with chilli and ginger vinaigrette was lovely. Hubby had calamari which had a peppery beer battered outside. I ordered the mussels mariniere which were lovely with a tasty broth and samphire, hubby had the Penang seafood curry with coconut rice. We asked for recommendations on dessert and were not disappointed with chocolate brownie cheesecake which was a first for us. Amazing atmosphere, surroundings, food and service. Will definitely return in the summer to sit outdoors.

Restaurant was recommended by the manager of the restaurant in our hotel as we wanted to eat out one night. We nearly did not go as when we called to book the lady who answered the telephone was quite awkward and tried to put us off going at 8.00 pm saying that the kitchen closes at 8.30. In the end we decided to give it a try and I am pleased we did. The service we received in the restaurant was miles away from the attitude of the lady on the telephone. The staff were pleasant, helpful and had good product knowledge. Product knowledge is of vital importance to me as I have food intolerances and there is nothing worse than being made to feel a nuisance when enquiring about contents of dishes. The food that we have was very nice and the position of the restaurant is good.

Could be much better, the discounted margaritas on a Friday are not worth it as they come in the tiniest glass with hardly any alcohol in it so don’t be conned ! I’d rather they charge full price and give you a proper cocktail in a proper cocktail glass ! Disappointed really but great surroundings which is a shame and yes food is overpriced too.

Ate at Oyster Creek Kitchen for our wedding anniversary with some friends (also celebrating their wedding anniversary). Arrived about 15 mins early but no problem in being sat down at our table. Prompt service by our waiter with drinks orders and run through on the “catch of the day”. I have a gluten issue and the menus are all marked appropriately for gluten free so no issues with choosing at all. All starters were served (Garlic Prawns, Lobster Ravioli, & Crab Hushpuppies) and were all very nice. Also had some oysters with the starters (we had the O.C.K style) which were excellent. Nice break between our starter and main course which was welcomed. Mains served together (Perch catch of the day, New England Lobster Roll, Penang Seafood Curry & Salmon and Chorizo). Everyone said how much they enjoyed their main dishes. Again nice break between the mains and the dessert coming out (Cheesecake and Churros). Waiting staff were all friendly and attentive and looked after us all through the night. Cost wise, it’s probably not your everyday family restaurant but for a special occasion was incredibly nice and we enjoyed the experience. Would definitely go back.

Visited again following my positive experience last time. This time with the dog in tow. This meant we had to sit outside, and it was a rather grey, miserable evening sadly. With the dog in tow, we hung around by the door for ages. Multiple staff caught our eyes but ignored us. Eventually we were approached and asked if we had booked (the place was almost empty) which we hadn't. They then said we could choose to sit anywhere we wanted outside. We had the choice of every seat as there was nobody outside at the time. We ordered some margaritas and some oysters, which were nice. And some mussels which we shared. We had a bottle of wine and a couple of shots of tequilla. Service was good, polite, good speed. The bill was quite high, but I guess we had a fair bit of alcohol. It was my husbands first time there, and mine outside. The outside area could really do with a spruce up as it looks tired and dated, but on the whole, a good experience. Sure everything looks better on a brighter day

Went here a couple of years ago and couldnt remember the name and was amazed it doesn't appear on the list of Westcliff's best restaurants. It was and still is a super place. We ate outdoors this time. There is a glass screen so not...

We went to Oyster Creek Kitchen for a late lunch on the spur of the moment today, as the sun was out and it hasn't been out that often lately. The food was great, as usual, with top billing, for me, going to the Sri...

Nice setting on the front but grossly expensive for what it is. A "discretionary service charge" is included, so no discretionary

I’m surprised to see this restaurant doesn’t have 5 stars on reviews. It was an absolutely stunning place, by far the best in Southend, with yummy fresh food and great service. This is the only place I would eat at when returning to Southend in...

Came for a date lunch with my partner and we had a lovely time drinking cocktails before lunch but our food took over an hour to come. No explanation or apology. When it came it was mediocre if I’m honest. Not even offered sauces etc...

What a disappointment! From the moment we arrived the cover version of pops songs should have raised alarm bells, not something you would expect from a restaurant that charges these prices. For the price they charge, the food is no better than a takeaway. The...

Booked for a celebration but it was very disappointing. Lovely setting, clean and staff friendly but food was very average for the price.

Ordered for delivery and an item is missing as usual. Not something which has happened for the first time with McDonald’s either. Sorry to say, but I won’t be eating/ordering from them in future. By the way, there is no way to complain about it either. Go talk to the virtual assistant on their website and It will run you in circles to the point u will feel like pulling ur hair out. needless to say, their customer service is as garbage and un-healthy as their food.

Disappointing and to be honest this is a generous 2 based on decent staff keeping us informed. On food alone it would get a 0.5 to 1 Hotdog sausage was nice but the bun was so stale I was checking it for mould blooms! The burger was similar to that served in schools, cheap discount meat, no sauce a bare sprinkle of lettuce and onion. No pickle, No tomato (in their defence that's all as described in menu though) The chicken goujons were nice. Good potion size and crispy. The doh balls went down well with the kids. Queued 20 minutes to order and then advised another 30 mins wait for food, it arrived after 25 minutes, but still two teenagers were practically bouncing off the walls after 45 minutes wait for lunch lol. The bill for 4 drinks and 4 meals (chicken, 2 X hot dogs and burger all with chips and a portion of Doh balls) was very nearly £70 which is lot given the barely acceptable quality but then again you're paying for location and on the positive side, the staff that do give a damn, they kept everybody informed, were always busy and they were smiling! Something of a novelty these days.

We were absolutely amaZed by these chips - and they were defo worth the short wait! They’re double fried, so expect to pause a little longer than your usual chippy - but wow, these are delicious.

The hot honey chicken burger is the best thing I've ever put in my mouth. Period
