The Bread & Cheese in Castle Point

First time visit since the refurb and very impressed! Very spacious restaurant with a good atmosphere. Excellent choice of menu options and the food was outstanding! We received excellent service and will absolutely come again! Shout out to the Chef for an excellent well filled pie, a delicious roast dinner and one of the best burgers my step-son has ever had!

Absolutely outstanding, one of the meals I’ve had for a long time, staff very attentive and really lovely would definitely visit again. Top roast dinner. Thank you to all of the staff you can see how hard they work

Fantastic place to go the staff are so friendly and helpful. We had the Sunday roast which was absolutely amazing. Totally recommend. The chef really prides the food 🥘

Amazing food n service , celebrating my friends husbands birthday . Won’t be returning again. We felt rushed off our table. Was told we could continue the evening in the bar area, only to be met by large group of drunk men swearing n shouting at each other. I’m guessing their locals as no one seems to challenge their behaviour and the bar staff looked scared. Renovation looked wonderful but shame on the clientele

Had a fantastic meal with my partner she had the beef brisket and I had the belly ribs from the smoker, it was amazing best smoked food I’ve ever had so juicy and tender, service was amazing our server Brendon was attentive and professional will definitely be back

Lovely carvery..very tasty.bit pricey but quality food..waitress very good ,superb fittings and class surroundings.

100% would recommend this Carvery You'll definitely need to book. Melt in thr mouth meats, gorgeous veggies and giant but fluffy yorkie puds. Desserts looked amazing too.

top price so expect top quality, the staff was very friendly, we was 3 adults and 1 child, was sat on a small square table with 4 garden style chairs, next to the kitchen door/bar, chairs was very uncomfortable and low to sit on, it was very noisy being in a busy area, was all squashed up on a table designed for 2, the food wasn't too bad tho meat portion was small, tho tasty, not much choice in veggies, no mash potato, and what annoyed me was colliflour cheese was £5.95 extra if wanted, its always free with the veggies everywhere else, not heard of none of the brands of lagers, food 6/10, staff 9/10, cleanliness 10/10, everything else 1/10, sorry we wont be back, im shocked they was busy,

Went early on a Friday evening for a meal with my wife and mother in law. Upon arrival was shown to a table and left. 10 minutes later a young girl asked if we'd like a drink. Only two other tables were occupied. We ordered drinks. Menus were brought, but I'd noticed a specials menu on the reception desk which we were not offered. I asked about it and the young girl said oh yeah, I'll go and get it. Soon after my drink arrived along with two glasses for the wine but no wine. Anyway, the wine finally arrived and we were asked if we were ready to order. We said yes, the girl then said sorry, I've forgotten my pen and pad. I said, it's okay, we want 2 cod and chips and one Sea bass. She ran off and came back with her pad and pen and said, I just want to write it down. The food was nice but thee young lady serving us had obviously just been trained in the basics of hospitality . The service was woefully inadequate. However, what made the event enjoyable was reading the specials of the day. Deviled chicken livers. Beef Borgeon and cotè boeufe. Please, if you're not a competent speller please look it up first. It's embarrassing and makes your establishment look a bit sad.

Extortionately priced, a breakfast doughnut (a doughnut with edible flowers and half a strawberry strategically placed) almost 12 pounds. Smoothies (a small glass) £5.50. If you are looking for value for money, it's not the one! Would not return fir breakfast, this was agreed with all in our party.

Excellent carvery today at the newly refurbished bread and cheese. Really nice and airy inside. Amazing rare beef and vegetables were cooked to perfection. Lovely Rachel served us, attentive but not too much. Really nice experience. It's a little out of our way but worth a drive, we'll be back!

Had a fantastic lunch with them which led us to use them for my dad's wake. High end quality excellently presented. Staff are efficient and friendly. Go taste ....

We chose the Bread and Cheese as a venue for our Dad's wake and we were not disappointed. The buffet was delicious and the staff were very obliging and provided us with a private area outdoors. Just want to say thank you to all the staff.

visited on 23 June 2024 with a party of 9 for Sunday lunch the refurbishment is very good. We all ordered the carvery and the server told us it would be easier if we got our drinks from the bar. The roast potatoes were so hard you couldn't cut into them, we reported this to the server and she apologise. Some time later she return and told us the tray had been removed and gave us 1 plate of 5 potato's between 9 of us we asked why these were different and here reply was that the lot we previously had probably been cooked the night beforehand We wasn't the only ones complaining

Not as relaxing as before, 4 of us on a table so small we had to put drinks on the window cill, beef from the carvery was tough vegetables were warm , won’t be returning

We were very impressed with the new decor and most of the staff we’re jolly and friendly during our visit. The carvery was lovely the meats were all good the veg was a bit dry through being covered to keep it warm. The turkey and ham broth type dish served with the carvery was absolutely amazing I could eat that on its own! Overall it was value for money and tasty and we would definitely visit again soon.

Fabulous. Brilliant service..Our waitress ‘Rachel’ is a real asset to this stunning newly refurbished venue .. along with all staff .. who are all a first class team .. The decor is outstanding, ‘Welcoming’ and lovely to see they have kept many a black white photograph from a bygone age hanging a long the walls, for all to see. Our carvery ; and thank you ‘Micheal’ was absolutely amazing.. very tasty full of flavour, in fact superb.. Thank you .

An amazing time at the Bread and Cheese, served by a wonderfully friendly face called Mollie who treated us with nothing but kindness the whole service, helping us when we was unsure or confused. Providing drinks and showing us where to go for our delicious carvery! We had a wonderful time and will definitely be back, hopefully when the word has been spread and more excited members of the public explore the new decor and environment, which is breathtaking! I have nothing to complain about, nothing but positivity and happiness from the second I stepped in to leaving the Bread and Cheese. Thank you all the members of staff for making it a special occasion 😊

The staff are just truly amazing and are always very attentive. Ally and Molly are just so professional, and what is so remarkable about this restaurant, is how all of the staff work so hard and well together. It’s a dream. The new menu is very classy and the food was so impeccable. The new look on the pub is very sophisticated and certainly outstanding. Very very impressive.

Carvery is just amazing and the chef who serves and is really attentive. New decoration is really modern - lovely design. Great pub

We had our Christmas day dinner here. The food was fantastic. The staff were so friendly and helpful. Can't fault them. I would highly recommend.

Very good carvery. Prawn starter needed seasoning. Staff, Mollie particularly were excellent. Excellent customer service. Found the pub to be in need of a 'smarten up' but above all and as said, carvery was very good.

Very well organised , made very welcome, the food was very good, this was the best roast beef I have had perfectly pink and so tender .

Popped in the bread & cheese pub/restaurant for a few drinks with my husband. Staff very friendly & helpful, always smiling & looking around to clear tables & serve customers. Was served by Luis, very lovely helpful young man. We have not eaten in here since new owners took over but it was packed with ppl eating the carvery, my husband asked if he could try the roast potatoes, molly & Luis said of course you can, molly gave my husband a bowl of potatoes free of charge. My husband (that does not usually like eating a roast other than at home), said best potatoes he's had, he looked at the carvery & said everything looked fresh with a good choice of meat & vegetables, this was near to the time of carvery finishing. Will definitely be returning on Sunday now for the carvery. Just like to say a big thank you to the manager, Luis, Molly & Ali for a lovely warm welcome.

I haven't been to The Bread and Cheese for a long time and will definitely be going for their carvery more often. The carvery was delicious, the meat was fresh, they had proper homemade roast potatoes. Lovely selection of vegetables and thick gravy. Nice atmosphere in the pub.

Just had a very nice Breakfast, with a warm welcome. we had our dog with us and they have a dog friendly area inside so we could eat inside out of the rain. our servers were Molly and Chelse, who couldn't do enough for us. keep up the hard work and we will be back.

Excellent pub, excellent staff. We went for a kids Halloween party and had a fantastic time. They put on such a good event. We had food before hand which was great to.

My grandson (5) and I just popped in for a carvery as I didn't fancy cooking, amazing food and great service and staff!!!! We hadn't booked but they managed to get us a table we felt really looked after the staff are all great. Everyone loves a Toby but this is better you get more meat than a Toby and it's all better quality!! Make sure you book though as the pub was packed.

Called in today for lunch just by chance, and how lucky that we did! The pub itself is lovely and the food was amazing - probably the best carvery roast the we have had in years. But what really made our day was the two fabulous young women running the bar and restaurant. They couldn't do enough to help us - one of our party was very elderly, visually impaired and unsteady on their feet - and both ladies greeted us at the door and made sure that we had the best seating to meet our needs. They looked after us so well but were totally unobtrusive; just very observant. The young lady serving our table deserves a special mention - thank you Molly for looking after us all so well; you were a real ray of sunshine and made our meal with you very special. I can highly recommended the Bread and Cheese pub and will definitely be visiting again very soon.

The family fancied a roast on a damp cold Friday evening, and The Bread & Cheese fitted the bill, being local and able to accommodate us. One family member is in a wheelchair, and we were very impressed by the fact they saw us coming, opened up all the doors for us and guided us to a perfect spot with plenty of space for the chair. We all opted for the carvery. The carver was proud of his deck, and knowledgeable about the food he was serving. Everything was of good quality, tasty, very well presented and good value for money. It’s so nice to see people happy in their work, everyone gets 10 out of 10 for service, nothing was too much trouble and everyone friendly and happy to be there, which made our night better. Would highly recommend The Bread & Cheese and we’ll definitely be back.

Excellent, the staff went over ,and, above. I didn’t’t want the usual buffet, after a chat with Chelsey (Manager), she tailored a roast dinner, and, desert’s to suit everyone’s needs, she couldn’t have been more helpful in the stressful time. She allocated Molly too look...

Myself, the Mrs and our 2 year old just had a delicious roast dinner at The Bread & Cheese and we would definitely recommend! Service was friendly and the beef was spot on.

Great pub, great atmosphere, very good food and first rate staff. Drinks are a bit expensive. I definitely recommend it though.

What a pub. Fantastic place that is popular with locals and a great gastro pub. Had a great Sunday lunch with a nice bit of beef and a brilliant waitress called Tabitha. She had a welcoming smile and was really attentive. Will be coming back!!

Visited for a family lunch. Food was amazing. Served by Harry, he was really attentive and friendly. Made us feel so welcome. Thank you, we will be back

Sunday lunch - delicious roast and wonderful service from Molly Highly recommend if you want a lovely family lunch. Thank you

I came here for lunch today and was greeted at the bar by a nice young lady called Molly, had beer battered fish and chips, best I've had for ages, but it was the kindness from molly that really stood out, she checked on me...

Went for a meal last week with friends. The food was delicious and the service, by Jack, was fantastic, attentive without being over fussy. I had squid to start, my friends had Korean sticky chicken wings, they said they were the best they’d ever eaten....

Served by Molly, she was really pleasant as a waitress and she took the time to talk to our 2 year old and interact with her to make sure she enjoyed her visit. Food was lovely (definitely recommend the sticky toffee pudding). Will visit again

Very expensive for what it is. Staff nice and friendly. Stopped showing the football for some reason? Used to enjoy bringing my kids here for that. Sadly no more. Will be drinking elsewhere now.

I can see some recent negative reviews and feel the need to share our very recent experience.Our Mum had passed away and after contacting several venues requesting details of how a wake works under the current “Covid“ situation, we had more or less decided to give up, something that just added to our sadness. That was until I spoke with Maddie who was not only sympathetic but explained the regulations in every detail and as strict as they needed to be, assured us that provided the attendee’s stick to the rules, they wouldn’t be made to feel like a class full of 30 children on detention.We felt a massive relief and the rest as they say is history.The food was fresh, plentiful and well presented to each table, we were able to run a slide show of pictures of happier times with Mum on a big screen whilst 2 barmen took drink orders per table and served them as quickly as they could.The ironic and very fitting point I have to make is that this was the very pub that we had enjoyed many a happy night in with our parents during the reign of “Tom and Rose” in the 70’s.Heartfelt thanks to Maddie and all the team at the Bread and Cheese.

Visited on Sunday 9th of May. Had a 7 o clock table booked menu was not great but ordered the Steak which was ok,Then was asked if I wanted desert. And ordered sticky toffee pudding , only to be told the kitchen was closed Not impressed at all...

Visited on a Friday evening and the table service was shocking, I’m not sure if it was lack of staff or poorly trained staff. We were shown to a table and after 20mins I asked a member of staff for a menu, 40 mins later I managed to get hold of someone to take our drinks order, so all in all we had been there for an hour without so much as a drink.Have to say our food came quite quickly and was very nice. Wouldn’t bother with the chocolate salted caramel cheesecake, not a lot of caramel going on there. Nice to have some live music, I would give them another go and hope they have sorted their staffing issues.

Visited on Friday and the table service was awful. Waiting 30 mins for someone to come over and take our drink order then another 25 minutes for them to bring us the order! They also added an extra £18 onto our bill for shots we never ordered! They also had no outside heaters so was freezing! Would no recommend going at all!

Takeaway Sunday lunch was superb. Big portions, good value. Support your local pub at their time of need!

I had a takeout from hear tonight really nice can't wait to come wen you get to go out really nice food fresh and hot to

The food is fantastic, good service not too expensive. Had a lovely meal with my husband and daughter.

Visited on Sunday 1st at 7.30pm only to be told we are now closed??? There Facebook site and there website clearly stated they close at 9pm on a Sunday.We had only travelled 4 miles but we were meeting friend who had travelled over 10.What a waste of time.So I left a message on their website, and no one has bothered to get back to me. Shocking service.

Hadn’t been here for a while so thought we’d give it another try, nice friendly staff who explained the kitchen was a bit backed up with orders and seemed reluctant to take ours.Although it wasn’t very busy in the restaurant area we waited 45 minutes for our food, my wife had steak with double cooked chips which were limp and tasteless, I had Katsu chicken curry which is sliced chicken in breadcrumbs but was instead a chicken breast cut in half with what looked like and tasted like a dollop of homepride curry sauce on top.This was sent back as I wasn’t going to pay £15 for that!They are charging restaurant prices for poor quality food. Won’t be going back, very disappointing

Although it was a monday night and a quiet one the food was absolutely fantastic. Will definately be coming back to try the rest of the menu. There is something there for every one.

Took mum and dad for belated birthday , this is definitely the best afternoon tea I’ve experienced , we had two traditional and gentleman’s afternoon tea amazing, the gents was great sausage roll , beef sandwich, pickle , scotch egg , plus more . The traditional was lovely as well scones great the whole thing , very well presented. The staff are sooo friendly and hard working , too make sure everything is great . We’ve been to the Ritz and many places I must say this was a much more pleasurable experience . Would highly recommend thanks guys absolutely great .

Had a lovely meal here for Valentines. It was a gourmet steak evening and the food was so good. All staff were very attentive, with special thanks to Arron, Aiden & Charlotte for making us feel so welcome. Highly recommended The Bread & Chesse. Huge complements to the chef!

Here tonight for their valentines steak nightWhat an amazing offer Then we tasted the food, scallops cooked to perfection, beautiful carpaccio of beef and two medium rare steaks cooked to perfection, sides were very good truffle infused chunky chips and roasted vegetables, how can this place not be more widely known it truly is an amazing place to eat....

Have passed this restaurant over 26 years and never ate there. What a lovely supriseTables set well , there was 8 of us , so tables were in shape of a square , so everyone could could speak & hear each otherFood really nice , & leave room for a pud Staff friendly, I had taken a birthday cake in & they bought it out perfectly

Popped in on the spur of the moment as we were passing, Got seated straight away and the waitress appeared straight away and took our drinks order. The restaurant is quite spacious and airy with plenty of room. We ordered mixed breads to share as a started which came with stuffed peppers and olive oil. Bread was slightly dry but other wise delicious. Had ham egg and chips for my main course which was wonderful especially the chips. Would recommend

This was our first visit here , nice ambiance, and very friendly attentive staff , we ordered a starter . Crayfish and prawn , and the chicken . Also we both ordered the steak , I will say the meal was delicious the steak was cooked superb ,and well presented , the starters were lovely , but we waited 45 mins , and the mains came out first . I would of 5?but this is the only reason I didn’t . The staff was extremely apologetic and put right the problem and was still apologised. This will not stop us from returning as all great apart from the wait . A lovely meal . And great staff thanks guys . We will return .

First Xmas day lunch in many years and we had a wonderful meal. Service was spot on and the staff were all very attentive Food was plentiful and nicely presented. Highly recommend.

Only the second time in 26 years that I haven’t cooked on Christmas Day and what a lovely experience it was. The dedication and professionalism of the staff was faultless. A lovely ambience - the restaurant was festively and tastefully decorated. Everything was cooked perfectly, presented attractively with attention to detail. Our family of 6 adults all thoroughly enjoyed our delicious starters - truffled parsnip soup, salmon and avocado tower and pork belly with black pudding. We welcomed the palate cleansing orange sorbet that followed. The traditional Norfolk Roast Turkey with all the trimmings/vegetables with a lovely slight crunch and Fillet of Beef Wellington were delicious. Everyone was almost defeated when the tantalising home cooked desserts were served - sticky toffee pear pudding, traditional Christmas pudding and Italian semifreddo with cranberries and limoncello. The polite, friendly, attentive staff kindly boxed up the mince pies and some of the Beef Wellington that was left. Well done and thank you to the chef and all the staff for making our delicious Christmas Day lunch so enjoyable and stress free.

Not as impressed as we’d hoped. Gluten free choices available but limited by not having bread available so had to settle for meals with bits missing, they did agree to reduce the price but nit what we were looking for. Meals were okay, certainly not somewhere to run back to but was okay.

Lovely staff, cosy environment to have a spot of lunch in a pub. Exceeds my expectations for a pub lunch. It was delicious. Would definitely return if I was in Benfleet again!

Popped in on route to nearby restaurant for lunch on NYE, decent selection of beers especially the Maltsmiths IPA and a more than decent selection of Gins that has its own Drinks Menu. Nicely decorated for Xmas, and with good music playlist.

A thoroughly enjoyable and scrumptious festive afternoon tea in a very pleasant, seasonally decorated and spotless environment. A lovely selection of festive sandwiches and savoury pastries. The cakes all homemade on the premises by the chef and his sister looked impressive and equally tasted delicious - especially the little red velvet ones with bronze dusted macaroons on top and the lemon/poppy seed cakes, which were much nicer than the ones eaten in The Delaunay in November! We couldn’t eat everything and the scones flavoured with a seasonal hint of orange, little pots of cream and jam plus a couple of the other tempting cakes were boxed up for us. Friendly, efficient staff too.

We really enjoyed our first visit to this restaurant the food was lovely Very clean and the staff were friendly

Dined here today and kept my coat on for most of the meal. We did ask for heating to be turned up, the reply was that it took a long time for heating to warm up! Surely in that case put the heating on earlier, it must be on a timer or upgrade the system. You are losing custom as we wouldn’t return until the warmer month’s.

Good menu with plenty of choice, staff are very professional and food is great. But you need a coat at lunchtimes as it’s uncomfortably cold In the restaurant 😔

Went to “bread and cheese” as a treat as don’t live any where near. It is so nice staff were amazing. Friendly warm and polite. Food was soooooo nice.

Just had a last minute birthday Sunday Lunch - booked that morning. Expecting a typical pub sunday roast and starter. However, very impressed and definitely a cut above the usual pub offerings, with both starter and roast dinner. It was delicious and we all commented on how we had enjoyed our meals. We had two childrens meals, which were plentiful. Unfortunately, our two little ones had gone a bit past their meal times and didn't eat all of it, but this was no reflection on the taste of the meal.

Had my 65th Birthday lunch there yesterday with dear friends & family..The service was excellent & so was all the meals..& the bill I got at the end wasn’t too bad either..Will defiantly be returning there at sometime & will/have recommend the Bread & Cheese..

Not really a pub grub person last time I used the Bread and Cheese was probably 6 years ago. I was on the way to my usual haunt in Benfleet but the whole town was gridlocked due to accidents. I worked out of town and on the spur of the moment chose to dive into the B&C; - easy parking and very pleasant greeting. Seated in bright window table and prompt couple of drinks - only one driving! We then ordered a salad for the lady and fish for me both sometimes a challenge in a pub - both really attractively presented and fish was perfect. No sweet as in a rush a really great unexpected experience - will be returning.

Had a lunch. A lot of flies. (Due to weather but still not great ). I wasn’t impressed. Tbh. Had a lunch that was over £60 on an average meal and one drink. One meal one drink 4 people. ...ok place but won’t return

Hadn't been here for quite a while so thought we would try Sunday lunch again. We were there quite early and it wasn't busy but after placing our order we were kept waiting 45 mins for our starters. There were actually quite a lot of waiting staff so guess the problem was in the kitchen - wonder how long we would have waited if they were busy. There were quite a few different vegetables with the roast but it was all a bit tasteless. The sweets were very nice. A 2 course meal is £21.95 and 3 courses are £25.95 which we thought was a bit excessive in comparison with many other public houses in the area that we have tried.

Very nice and welcoming, food very nice and didn’t have to wait for it too long very pleasant, would go again highly recommend,

Haven't been here for many years but the restaurant is a nice place to sit, maybe a bit scruffy around the edges, but spacious and nice for families. The blonde waitress was very friendly and easy to talk to but clearly rushed off her feet with a lack of staff, but that did improve later on. The food was not quick but what came out of the kitchen more than made up for that. The chef clearly knows what he is doing and all our main meals from pies to burgers and fish were generous well cooked, made to order and tasted great! We had desserts and again the quality was very good, it was all very enjoyable and value for money. Maybe lack of staff can let them down at times but so long as the good chef is working, this for me is by far the best pub/restaurant I have been to in an area where good food/service is hard to find.

A very good menu with plenty of interesting choices. All the food we had was very enjoyable and the Chicken Indiana was exceptional.

Disappointed bread starter stale. Skewer main course poor 1 beef and 1 chicken skewer with an abundance of salad to fill the plate for over priced £18. Vegan burger ok bun obviously frozen or stale then toasted. Service poor. No one in charge. Wouldn't return.

Fantastic Food Amazing staff who are a credit to the Bread and Cheese Pud Ellie and Aaron were brilliant always smiling and made everyone feel so welcome. You won't be disappointed.... Sunday roasts are amazing too x

food average, atmosphere very clique, staff miserable and quite rude and whilst trying to eat our over priced dinner, staff were spraying the tables next to us with cleaning products, which ended up the taste of my dinner whilst hoovering around our feet (at 5pm in the afternoon with staff discussing at what time they think they should choose to close), so to say the least felt rushed and unwanted, but was more than happy to take our money. Would not recommend at all.

Me and the wife sat down for a meal ordered drinks and some cheesy natchos before our main meal . After finishing our drinks the natchos didn't show up and after forty minutes we got up and left . Shame as we had a nice quiet table and the place wasn't busy . They apologised and let us have our drinks for free but we then had to get a takeaway as we were starving .

Was much better inside than outside looked was ok for family meal large mixed menul nice food good price would happy go again

We had heard good reviews about this place, so decided to book it for my husband's 60th birthday. It was 7 o'clock on a Friday evening so we were surprised to see that it wasn't very busy.
