The Treacle Mine in Thurrock

The breakfast was cooked well and tasted delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful.

To all the staff at The Treacle Mine yet another lovely visit! Thank you. We have visited many times and have never been disappointed. Lovely place to visit. We will be back very soon no doubt. By far our fave local.... The new menu is really good, the new waffle os a must!

went here today with my friends and family and the waitress and bartender mayson was absolutely smashing it like always made our drinks and got our food order out as soon as it was ready didn’t have to wait even tho was busy

Breakfast was amazing stephanie the chef delivered a first class meal everyone helpful

Value for money, staff welcoming, cocktails and shots on deals, can get 2 meals for less than £15 on selected menu, kids eat for £1 Monday to Thursday with an adult meal ! Bargain ..

It’s very rare I give a 5 star rating, but what a meal! Amazing, fresh and generous portions. What’s even better is the price….definitely recommend and definitely coming back!

Decent pub food at a good price, friendly staff and good entertainment

Had a really good time and the food was great. The staff was very welcoming and food was delivered promptly. We really enjoyed the family friendly atmosphere 😊

Had a pleasant time food was great and well priced. Definitely going back

Went here for lunch. Food was lovely staff was great 👍 I will be back soon

We visited with the kids and had a lovely time. The atmosphere was welcoming, and the staff were friendly and accommodating, making sure we had everything we needed. The service was prompt, even with a busy crowd, and they were great with the little ones. The food was delicious—fresh, well-prepared, and with a good variety for both adults and kids. The children’s menu had some nice options, and the portions were just right. Overall, a great spot for a relaxed meal with the family. We’ll definitely be back!

Great atmosphere, karaoke on a Saturday night & staff are always available and kind.

What a lovely place to have a spot of lunch. First time I’d been there this week and I will definitely go back. It’s good value for money and apparently deals on all the time. The staff are friendly and can’t do enough for you, this truly makes such a difference as you don’t find it often enough these days.nice atmosphere too. I wished I’d known about it sooner.

Lovely people, food and drinks are great. Atmosphere brill

Tara is amazing and the food and drink is superb

Come down with my family every one very welcoming. Food was on point was told Jason was in the kitchen hats off to the chef. Not had a bag experience in my years of comming here. Mj the manager is amazing.

Nice atmosphere and decent prices 👌

Very family friendly pub, made us all feel welcome including the kids, lovely atmosphere

Always enjoy coming to the treacle whenever I'm in the area, the staff are friendly, the food is nice and the drinks are cold. Everything is affordable and there's plenty of entertainment. Bingo, a quiz in the week and a DJ/ live music and karaoke at the weekend

I had barbecue beef rib, rump steak, chips, onion rings and mushrooms. My husband had a mixed grill

We had a group of around 25 booked, but the tables were not together, and unorganised. When we were eventually seated, we ordered via the app, and I ordered a mixed grill, and steak for my wife. This was paid for in advance. I was then told my wife would get her steak, but none left for mixed grill. I asked for a burger to replace the steak, then they brought me up just the burger with chips, which I sent back as I ordered mixed grill. Eventually got it, but quality of food was shocking, overcooked chicken, overcooked gammon, cheap burgers, and just overall terrible. I would never. Go here again.

Just wanted to say a massive thank you for the great service and food . Sam greeted us and showed us to our table. We had breakfast for 10 on Father’s Day . Although they were short staffed you wouldn’t have known MJ and Jason were in the kitchen. We had a wonderful time as we always do at the treacle mine. Thanks again Darren aka Gary

Great night at the treaclemine , amazing staff great atmosphere,lively welcoming staff highly recommend

Can’t speak for the food or drink because we unfortunately decided to leave before ordering. Came for a family meal but as we were deciding if there was shade to sit outside our two year old saw the game machine and pressed one of the buttons and was promptly told off by the lady behind the bar. A more appropriate way to deal with it if it was really a problem would have been to address one of his parents and not frighten a two year old. Does not seem like a very family friendly place so we won’t be returning. Edit: as I said above, speaking to us as his parents rather than scaring a two year old who has no concept of what is said to him would have been a more appropriate response (although I highly doubt any licensing regulators would confuse a two year old hitting a shiny button with attempting to gamble). It was dealt with very poorly and your response shows a lack of understanding of the problem as well.

Food was lovely and staff were very friendly and helpful 😊

Friendly atmosphere with friendly staff.

Food was excellent, staff friendly, polite and efficient

My friend and I had a lovely boozy pub lunch here today. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the atmosphere was welcoming. I had the vegan sticky ribs and my friend had the tandoori chicken kebabs. Both of us gave the food 10/10, delicious and piping hot. Well done Jason the chef, and thanks to the bar staff for a lovely afternoon.

Me and my friend had a meal here on Thursday 2nd of January. Due to me being colieac I have strict dietary restrictions for my food which was relayed to the staff. The member of staff which I spoke to her name was Tara went above and beyond to make sure that my food was correct and had no cross contamination and made sure she had direct communication with the kitchen staff to make sure my meal was prepared correctly which it was and compliments to the kitchen as my food was well prepared and delicious. Also the atmosphere in the pub is very friendly and relaxing and all the staff are lovely and very helpful. We will definitely be booking with them again for food and drinks as they give 5 star service and go above and beyond for their customer needs and requirements

Great food for the price, with friendly staff. I will definitely be visiting again soon.

Breakfast was wonderful however our boxing day meal was scrumptious! 5 stars all day

26.12.24 Had a booking for 8 pm for dinner and drinks, showed up just before 7:30, our booking weren't on the system although we had the confirmation, we were still able to be seated and the guy behind the bar ( dark hair, glasses and beard, quite polite) had explained kitchen closes at 8 so if we were quick enough to decide what we were having we could order, within the first few minutes knew what we were having went to the bar to order where the guy was talking to whom I presume is a manager with blonde hair and the other end, and brumptly said to him and loud enough for me to here that the kitchen was closed she don't care it's Sunday hours they've already shut everything down... And carried on to walk pass me, the barman apologised, however on there opening hours sign it states that kitchen is open till 8, also says that online and if it does close sooner why was I able to book still? We weren't in the building for longer than 7 minutes and left in disappointment. This is the 3rd time in a row I've came here food in the last 2 months for there to always be an issue, myself and partner have decided that going forward we will not be having food there anymore and will be letting our friends/family know as they also dine here.

Got rudely told to leave tonight !! I walked in, went to the bar and ordered a drink for me and my family. Drinks sitting on the bar!! £20 plus round of drinks!! Was told I must leave as it was tickets only, so I must leave. Was escorted to the door telling me I must leave. Followed to the door!! I would have bought a ticket but felt as if I had done something wrong, Bad management, bad manners comes to mind ! !!! Piss poor if ya ask me. Merry Christmas treacle mine Place was not even busy. Maybe you need ya think about what ya doing. And the reason Why ya not busy.

Terrible. Food was awful. Glasses filthy. Changed twice and still dirty. Poor service. Never again

Food is always good here. The food is piping hot and tasty. Service is fantastic always friendly and very good value. This time we visited I noticed there was paper sheets under our food I did not like this at all and once you had put condiments on it made it soggy couldn’t work out what was food and what was paper. I hope they get rid of this it’s not good.

This was the poorest experience at Treacle Mine Treat customers like an animals Managers also don't care about customers.

Hi been there quiet a few times for lunch or dinner with both family and friends, always enjoyable, friendly staff, good food and good service.

Food was great. Our waitress Tara went above and beyond. Karaoke was amazing. Absolutely fantastic atmosphere. Will definitely be back

Food was great and service was absolutely brill

Staff, service, very welcoming will defo come back. Karaoke was the beat

Food was delicious and came up quickly. Staff were curious and helpful and the atmosphere was great especially as the evening went on

Came in on a Saturday night when there was a Karaoke night, after ordering food, which was amazing by the way, I decided to stick around for the karaoke night to see what it's about. I must say, the atmosphere in the building with the karaoke going on, was like a concert. The staff all worked their hardest and cannot fault them one bit, especially with the amount of traffic at the bar, everyone was absolutely amazing. All staff here are a credit to the company. Would highly recommend the treacle mine.

Absolutely great night out!!! A Saturday ritualistic

Amazing night food was fantastic atmosphere was amazing fantastic karaoke night

Lovely food, great atmosphere and lovely staff

Very poor service, they are not prepare to serve a customers, absolutely horrible place . Do not recommend

service is a disaster, no interest in the customer

I reserved the table at 15:30 for 13 people including children. We haven't received the meals till 17. At 5 pm we get one plate out of 13. The kids were hungry because it all took too long. We left the restaurant as they couldn't provide the information that time we will get the meals.

We reserved a large table and were instructed to place a preorder. Upon our arrival at the restaurant, we were shown to our table; however, no staff members approached us to take our order or provide assistance. After waiting for 25 minutes, we inquired with the server, only to find out that he could not locate our order. Ultimately, we waited 1.5 hours for a single sharing platter. When we asked about the second platter, we were informed that it had been sent to our table, which was not the case. The server was skeptical of our claim, and we had to guide her to our table to confirm that we had received only one platter. Frustrated with the situation, we decided to pay for what we had and left the restaurant. This was disappointing, as we had planned a pleasant outing and had taken the initiative to preorder and confirm our order a day in advance to ensure a smooth experience. As a result, we opted to order food for delivery instead.

Wonderful atmosphere and very good food quality! Big fan of the battered mushrooms!

Treaclemine is always very consistent, good food. And usually comes out on time save for the rare exception. Many thanks to the team!

Excellent staff and excellent service

Came for the pub quiz on a Wednesdays, and we had a brilliant time. Food was lovely, staff were brilliant and were now regular attendees! Highly recommend for a midweek evening out!

Fantastic pub! We came for the pub quiz with the family, we were welcomed and the staff were so friendly with us. The food was great, and reasonably priced and a great pub quiz! One of my favourite local pubs. Can’t recommend enough.

Friendly Staff, food was great, good atmosphere

Excellent service from Kylen and manageress (sorry, I didn't get her name) Excellent venue, clean and comfort, great value for money, excellent food,. Our first visit, definitely won't be our last Thank you

Was down in the area in the today to see a concert. So because I work for another sizzling I knew what to expect from the food. We all really enjoyed it and was up to the correct spec so thank you. Pub had a lovely fell and atmosphere to it we sat on table 8. The staff were all very nice and friendly. Will visit again when back down in the area

Arrived before lunch didn't fancy a breakfast so asked for something on lunchtime menu wasn't an issue no problem they said and knocked me up skewers chips and veg it was lovely

Nice friendly place food is lovely staff are very welcoming

Very welcoming friendly staff.. Great food... Karoke was great... Great atmosphere definitely visiting more often

Nice place , nice staff , BBQ Ve was tasty ,chicken curry was a bit tastless. Unfortunately the Guinness was not poured the Guinneess. Some training for staff on how to pour Guinness would be recommended. Thanks

Sean is the best ever , he offers the world’s best service ever. Probably deserves a raise if you can me

Nice pub, good food, but long wait for it to be served.

Good quiz night, shame about the £60 car parking fine. WARNING: IF YOU PARK IN THE CAR PARK, MAKE SURE YOU ENTER YOUR REG NO WHEN YOU GO INTO THE BAR. I complained via their website and got a an email reply back saying they could cancel it. This was 2 weeks ago and I've heard nothing since. I don't really understand why they need the parking system given that there is nothing but houses nearby. Why would anyone park there unless they were going to the pub. It's a shame, as It spoiled a good night. I doubt I'll go back there.

Visited Treacle Mine to order some food. Shaun was excellent in advising me of a 40% off offer if I downloaded the app which I wasn’t aware of and was very much appreciated. Excellent service.

Shaun was really helpful tonight, made our night complete

Great meal well done chef was lovely 🤤😋 Front of house polite and friendly 👍🏻 Well done Ben and Kim Only problem was the skin on Fry's I'm not a lover 😞 bring back sweet potato Fry's please

Looking for something to eat after IKEA & wanted something better than fast food. Stumbled across the Treacle Mine & even though they were busy & said food was gonna be up to an hour it was only 20 mins for food & it was red hot & really tasty. Also ideal was that they brought the little uns food out first, always a good idea. Good food at a good price with good service too. Will come back again when next in the area & can't be bothered to queue for IKEA cafe

So me and my family went there for a birthday meal for my brother inlaw . We ordered our food using the APP and we was not seen for quite some time book at 5.30 did not have food till after 7pm . My wife went to ask whats taking so long they said their machine froze . And some one had to look at our order . There seemed to be quite a few staff members but it seemed to take a long time for our food to come. The food was fantastic best thing about the place. The service needs a bit of a shake up tbh . I was waiting to order a drink and they all seemed to be More interested in watching the football ok the TV. It won't be my next place to visit for my family meal . But when I do eventually go back I may change my mind .

Good steak but they forgot our drinks. Apart from that would be 5 stars

The atmosphere was good and the place was clean. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Food was a let down and the member of staff that took our food order was poor. He clearly couldn't hear us properly and didn't repeat the order back~ hence it was wrong. We weren't offered a receipt so we're unable to see if what was missing had actually been ordered. One of out party had food poisoning from the Tandori chicken dish which wasn't cooked properly.

Very noisy, didn't help with karaoke starting, service was bad,x7 people booked in 7.30 told it was 45 min for food! All served at different times,to our table,no tia Maria!no tea ,coffee machine broke!! Waitress was polite n pleasant, good luck for Sunday am going for breakfast with no tea or coffee..

We had a surprise Hen Brunch for my niece. The food was great! Plenty of coffee! And most importantly great service! There was a large group of us and nothing was too much trouble. Thank you

absolutely disgusted in the professionalism within this pub! myself and 3 friends went for a drink at 10pm this evening and we waited around 20 minutes to get our drinks to the table.. around 10 past 10 a member of staff came over to ask for our ID and we was all prepared; whilst I mentioned we have been waiting a while, the guy shrugged it off in quite a rude manner. He then decides to take my friend’s ID aside, and we assumed that he wants better lighting which makes sense. He then POINTED and wiggled his finger at my friend to step aside and make the accusation that my friend’s ID is fake! Although it being real, we was very confused at the fact that the guy refused to give it back just because his assumption. There is a small crack within the ID which made him believe this; however we have been to other bars where the ID has to be scanned and have for in with no issue. He then said to go home and grab another form of ID to get his other one back. We then come back with his passport and they took ages to make a decision, despite the fact it is very clear it is real. Cowardly, the guy never came out to apologise, we just got given the ID back from somebody else and we never got an apology for the inconvenience. Personally, we believe that this could be racially motivated due to the fact that my friend isn’t white British. However, we will never be able to know if that is the case or not. We also asked to her a refund for our drinks and the guy said “yeah just ask the bar” in quite a rude manner. We will not be returning. We are usually quite loyal to The Treacle Mine but the professionalism and the service provided this evening was absolutely atrocious.

Sean and Tara are always pleasant to us

Visited today and Shaun was extremely helpful and very knowledgeable of the menu, I will be coming back

Very friendly staff and great service from Tara Enjoyed a good meal while attending the weekly quiz.

Came here with my kids over the holidays, good variety of food and the staff were very friendly. Food tasted great! Hats of to the chefs 👨‍🍳 !! Highly recommend going here! Hope to come back soon😀

Myself my Fiancée and our children had a lovely meal out at the treacle mine. The value was great and food was good quality pub food. The waitress Willow Gibson went above and beyond to make our visit pleasurable and was great with the children. Her natural friendly manner didn’t go in noticed. Thank you

The food was really nice the waitress and bartender Willow was exceptional she got us everything we needed and made sure food was out on time definitely will be coming again

Amazing staff and amazing food. Ben is incredible and was very helpful with everything. Fully recommend!

The service was lovely all the staff was respectful quick service bartender and waitresses willow was very polite made sure our food was correct and we had a great time would definitely recommend and will be definitely coming back!

Food was great. My family had a lovely time getting together for a pub dinner! Will definitely come again and recommend friends. Service was great, especially from Sophie who served our food. Jay and Ian were in charge of the kitchen. Frfr the greatest cooks in all the lands, from West Thurrock to Tilbury town. 🥳

willow was absolutely amazing putting correct food through and getting everything we needed after food was delivered

The garden is perfect for young children and babies as it is enclosed and gated. Food was lovely and friendly staff

The worker was so nice wonderful service I even happened to get the workers name (willow) honestly so lovely and even gave her a tip for her amazing service!!

Had a great family meal. The staff member Willow was exceptional and very friendly and helpful to us.

Food was great. Took a long time to be delivered given that the restaurant was almost ready Fire alarm went off twice. It was a false alarm but we had little confidence that staff were trained in what to do.

I had steak well done and after I scraped the welded bits off there was enough to fit on a dessert spoon. Fries were nearly non existing and only 2 small onion rings. Value for money was too much for what I had, would avoid this place and go for somewhere like a Harvester you're bound to get more value for money.

Staff were friendly and helpful. Food great value

The face was terrible absolutely vile my mum had Hair in her food, garlic bread was hard

Had a nice picky lunch with a friend ....

Haven't been here in a few years, so thought we'd give it a try. Food amazing steak & rib perfectly done. Service was great, especially from the two managers. The only reason for not giving 5 stars was that there was bit of a wait on food coming out. It wasn't that busy either. Overall definitely be back again soon

Great food at great prices, really enjoyed ourselves

Shaun was very helpful today when I visited rhe premises

Food was very good and price also very good. On the whole great value. Had a slight hiccup with ordering but can confidently say I'm sure it's not the norm. In any event the staff went out of their way to make up for it.

Lovely food, breakfast strawberry waffle is beautiful and the deserts are to die for, Nacho’s with the cheese and spring onions are refreshing.

It was amazing food was incredible, staff were very welcoming and the service was great definitely an experience I’d want to be around again

Hi I came across this place in a area I am not familiar with, I noticed the billboards, serving breakfast, I love a fry up but tend not make a habit to eat them often, I am very fussy with food, as I Train and like to keep in shape, but have weakness in food, this was one of the best breakfast I had Eaten, compliments to the chef is very clued up on preparing food, the bacon was grilled and still delicious, the FRESH mushrooms was grilled, Tomatoes, Eggs, hash browns with toast and beans, it was amazing and even more amazing the price: five pound something I paid. Forget the greasy cafes. As well as breakfast they serve Lunch and dinner the menu is extensive and something for everyone at very reasonable price, the offer at mo is 2 lots of cod and chips £12.50, these places are rare, even better they have music and Karaoke on Saturdays, definitely looking forward to going back there, on a Saturday as I know the food will be scrumptious, will enjoy it thoroughly, and a bonus the beautiful surrounding’s outside in the garden. I would highly recommend this place, please try it and give your feed back to the place that truly deserve a five star from me. A reminder do not do what I done, as it was my first visit I was totally oblivious to the signs to Register your car until I received a notification to my dismay one week later for a parking fine, so I called the Treacle mine direct and spoke to Emma, she had great customer service skills, very attentive, immediately took my details to cancel my fine and confirmed by email. Register your car upon arrival ! And Enjoy your evening and meal at the Treacle mine in Grays

We've given this venue a couple of chances but we have now consistently seen issues with the service. The 1st time with a party there was a huge delay with most dishes and a couple were incorrect. This last visit we ordered 3 starters and a chicken sharer platter to be served together. After waiting an hour 2 of the smaller dishes arrived and the waitress advised they had run out of chicken so couldn't provide the sharer platter. How on earth does it take an hour to decide a menu item wasn't available? I'm also amazed on realising this they failed to check with us if we wanted to proceed with the order in it's entirety. The quality of the dishes we did receive were not really on a par to the price so I'm afraid that's the last of the chances this restaurant gets. The pub element of the venue is OK with a variety of events taking place but they don't have enough staff to cope with the drinks. All in all not great.
