Restaurant and coffee Lounge in Basildon

After finding Urban Fresh about 18 months ago, we made a point of going there for a special meal every 3 or 4 months. The restaurant was always unusually quiet which is nice when you just want to eat and chat. We recommended it to anyone who would listen. There were so many great things on the menu but there was a cubed bacon starter and the Korean Fried Chicken that we often ordered and were the main reason for the 40 minute drive just to get there. We hadn't visited over Christmas so it was the obvious choice for Valentine's day. Well, what a disappointment. Urban Fresh is now Urban Italia it's just a load of pasta and pizza. Not really the sort of thing we would go out to eat. We both had the burger which was alright but not worth £18. Sadly we won't be rushing back unless the menu changes. As ever, the staff are great, attentive and polite. You normally have to stand by the desk for 5 to 10 minutes before someone walks past and sees you but it has always been like that.

Not only do they have freshly cooked delicious food, they’ve also got friendly lovely staff. 100% recommend everyone to try.
