Whitmore Arms in Thurrock

Great service and food Lisa is great

Lisa was amazing. Wonderful food and staff. Can’t wait to come back xx

Wonderful service and food as always. A local gem!

Good food in well serviced dining room. We will return.

Wee had the whitmore burger and scampi, very nice meals. Plus cheesecake for dessert. Will definitely visit again :)

Disappointing meal. Shepherds pie - mash had turned to mush been cooking too long. Liver & Bacon - over cooked liver, dry and like shoe leather. Too much bacon. Vegetables were under cooked, not al dent even at all.

It's our favourite place to eat they also pour the best Guinness...

We had 3 beef roast dinners & the beef was beautiful & tender. Staff attentive and it's nice and warm in the pub. Would recommend 💜

Overall brilliant meal and service Special shout out to Lisa for all her help

First time visiting since new management. Staff very polite and friendly. Food outstanding. Came home and rebooked for next week.

Sunday roast was great, we will definitely be back. All the staff are lovely, special shout out to Lisa

Lovely pub lovely food lovely staff

Staff were fantastic Food was amazing Reason I keep coming back

We have visited here many times food is always amazing. Special menu Beef wellington, compliments to the chef

Nice atmosphere and decent food

The staff were really amazing Cheryl and Samuel. Lovely

Elsie did a fantastic job of looking after our table of 6 adults and 3 kids on a busy Sunday lunch sitting!

Celebrated my 60th birthday here. Atmosphere was superb, the food was excellent and my friends all thought it was excellent.

Great family birthday celebration at this venue, staff were professional and food was excellent, great value for money, thank you Sandra, Elsie, Sam, & Charlie ❣️

Mate was great. Love a pint with mysvbbnn. What. Help.

Great pub food superb the fish and chips was exceptional the waitress elsie was fantastic great service and very prompt

Our food was simple and piping hot which was great. It feels a little bit cramped, too close to other diners and the chairs aren't overly comfortable.

Fabulous food, fabulous service. Never disappoints.

Excellent service and attentive staff, very professional

Amazing roast dinner, we had beef and turkey. Staff were super helpful and very friendly. Lovely little pub that is really reasonable

Food was really tasty . Service was excellent. Would highly recommend . Will be back

We have recently had two excellent meals at The Whitmore Arms, Orsett. Both meals were incredible and the staff were very friendly and helpful. 02/10/24 - Another fantastic meal at The Whitmore Arms, Orsett. Food and service is always amazing. Many thanks

Tender, delicious roast beef. Everyone enjoyed their meals (2 kids and 2 adults). Friendly and accommodating staff, we’ll be back soon 😊

Had a family meal there but wasn't really happy as the food was served up barely warm, the vegetables were just peas and carrots (not much selection) and the desserts were very small portion size.... As if they were just tasters 🙁 also I didn't really like the fact that the waitresses were just standing about watching people eat their meals. We have used this venue numerous times and always had lovely hot cooked delicious meals but I don't think we'll be rushing to use it again.... Very disappointed 🙁.

Highly recommended. Amazing roast dinner, very friendly staff. Perfect venue for the family. Look forward to going back. Great value.

My dining experience at the whitmore arms in orsett was nothing short of excellent. From the moment we walked in, the staff was warm, attentive, and made us feel right at home. Our server went above and beyond, offering thoughtful recommendations and ensuring our every need was met without being intrusive. As for the food, it was simply outstanding. For starters the arancini was just out of this world and for main the seafood Thermidor was perfectly prepared, with fresh, vibrant seafood which included cod, prawns and scallops the flavours exceeded expectations. And they was not stingy on the seafood!!! Every course was beautifully presented and tasted even better than it looked. Combined with the top-notch service, this was easily one of the best dining experiences I’ve had in a long time. Highly recommended!"

Great services by the friendly staff even on a busy Saturday evening. Food was great as always. Had the scallops in white wine and Parmesan sauce - great. Had the salmon main which was beautiful and my wife and I shared a dessert. Be back again soon.

went to the whitmore arms for a birthday meal sat in the bay window waitresses couldn’t do enough for us especially elsie and sam service was great we had a fantastic time the seafood thermidor and mixed grill was amazing they really made dads birthday a special day hadn’t been for about 4 years we can see all the improvements they have been making and we will be back soon booking for sunday roast next week would definitely recommend

We had a enjoyable evening with our friends food was delicious but not a big variety of food on the menu. Friendly staff. Thank you

Not pleased at all. Food horrible 😫

Very nice food but unfortunately the roast pork Was hard the roast Beef could have been cooked a bit better and why did we get one Drink at a time when we ordered five, Having said that I had roast lamb which was lovely and the Turkey was also nice.

Already planning to revisit this pub, the food is amazing, the staff both friendly and professional who went above and beyond for us as well as a friendly atmosphere. Highly recommended…

Excellent food and lovely menu choice. Have eaten here several times and the consistancy and quality is always the same.

Staff just stood there had glasses on the table which they did not collect until asked , when we asked to be sat someone else as it was a squished table the man was stroppy . Poatoes were rock solid unable to cut through . Pork was chewy and beef was full of fat . Incorrect Bill. Will not be returning .

Lovely food with good and helpful staff.

Nice food but very busy and quite noisy and tsbles quite close to one another. . Food took an hour to arrive from ordering. Staff are very pleasant and did apologise for the delay. Food was hot on arrival and portion sizes were good. I frequented this pub some 50 years ago, and much is still the same in layout and facilities. I would return but not regularly.

Food is fantastic, Very family orientated. Definitely recommend. Cheryl, Sandra and Tilli are amazing they really looked after us and made us feel welcome.😁👍

Good honest pub food, served by friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit.

The food was not cooked and cold

What a lovely evening at the Whitmore Arms. Cheryl and Jo were brilliant and very accommodating. Very friendly and made us feel so relaxed and made the evening more special. Food was tasty and very good value for money. Thank you to Cheryl and Jo for making the whole experience perfect.

Had a lovely meal, highly recommend, will be back very soon, staff very nice and friendly

First time at The Whitmore Arms for quite some time. Ford was really very good, scampi and chips and Jerk Chicken were our meals this evening. The portion sizes were good, quality of the food was excellent. The service was polite friendly and relaxed, just as you would want. Atmosphere was lacking, only because it was a Tuesday evening, so quite quiet

We were looking for somewhere to eat and came across this beautiful and friendly pub, food always great but way too much for little me, the service was great.

Me and my partner had lunch here for the first time today and the food was outstanding everywhere was lovely and clean, we sat outside to eat and it was just lovely would highly recommend and would 100% return brilliant service also

Furniture shabby. But otherwise gòd to go.

Had a lovely lunch today the food so was lovely and can recommend the fish & chips. The service was 10/10 . Will be going back soon x

Wow - will be returning to this little gem of a pub! We‘ve just had an amazing Sunday lunch at a pub I’ve driven past on many occasions but never been in. The staff are welcoming and helpful, the decor is lovely and the food was fantastic. Compliments to the chef for the beef roast (huge Yorkshire puddings 🥳), Cajun chicken, duck salad and lamb. Remember to leave room for dessert! Looking forward to booking again and enjoying a great atmosphere. Compliments to all the staff.

Literally the best pub grub you can get big compliments to the chef and staff!!

This is a nice place. Quiet. Old fashioned. Caters for an older demographic.

Booked a table for a quick evening meal at The Whitmore Arms. Lovely welcome from Lisa on entering the pub. Ordered our food.....Brie for a starter and Lasagne for my main course. My friend had prawn cocktail for starter and fish with chips/peas for his main course. Food was lovely with exceptional service from Lisa who is always so friendly and professional. Really enjoyed our evening. Thank you.

The food was amazing.. service was brilliant, and I can't fault it. Lovely day. Had a christening and turned out to be a memorable day. Thank you.

First time for me and it won’t be my last, loved it. Food and service was fab. Booking again for June

Had our Nans 80th Birthday Celebrations there today, our food was absolutely lovely and the staff were amazing, shout out to Mandy and Stacey for quick service and lovely personalities, will definitely be back for a Sunday Roast! Thank you x

Good pub grub, polite, curtous and quick service, loverly atmosphere, and very nice location.

Food is lovely. Good value for money, friendly and helpful staff

Great environment , thoroughly enjoyed my food and drinks . Definitely recommend to all . Best place in the area by far .

Booked a belated Mother’s Day present for my mum, afternoon tea for two. Was lovely and food was great! Service was good, great job chef Tony😊👍🏻

I ordered the curry of the day. It was terrible. Save your money and buy a microwave meal out of Lidl. It'll be cheaper and tastier. Also, the bar maid had a go at me about my boots looking muddy. I thought it was a country pub, not a Karen diner.

Was staying at a local hotel but decided that we'd pop out for dinner. Menu selection is varied and decent enough I opted for the chicken skewer startedr and the king prawn linguine, both were excellent. Nice local pub cozy atmosphere and friendly staff. Actually, a big shout out to Ben working the bar, great lad and really looked after us, probably as it was quite, but we appreciated it nonetheless. Definitely will go back.

Great meal lovely steak can’t recommend enough

Visited with friends for afternoon tea, there were 8 of us, I must say it was all very well organised and the afternoon tea was lovely and well worth the money, the ladies who served us were, Mandy, Amy and Gilly, they all gave us excellent service always asking us how our food was and filling up the teapots regularly , well done ladies. Would highly recommend a visit

My favourite go to is Liver&Bacon, normally when I order this I get a plate of vegetables, when I was last here, my partner also ordered liver&bacon but we had to share the 1 plate of vegetables, please please serve separate dishes of vegetables especially when you are paying for it twice Xx

Had a very enjoyable lunch.Mandy who served us was nice & helpful.The only reason I gave 4 stars for atmosphere was because it was a bit chilly in the restaurant! but we will certainly return.

Beautiful afternoon tea at the whitmore arms today. Ben was welcoming and Mandy couldn’t do more for us. Sandwiches and cakes were lovely, and we had enough to box and bring home too. Highly recommend and will be returning

First visit for a family birthday. Wow! Brilliant staff, nothing too much trouble: excellent food: really couldn’t have asked for more. On top of that very reasonable prices for great portions. One very happy family 👍🤣🌟

The steak & kidney pudding wasn't much to write home about to be honest it could have come out of a frozen packet the mash was nice but the dish didn't come with any vegetables . The starters was lovely and the service was excellent but I'm afraid mains was just normal pub grub .

Very good food and a lovely atmosphere

Just had the best prawn linguine ever! We were booked into the sister restaurant for Valentine’s Day. However, due to electrical problems, our booking was moved 10 miles away. This turned out to be a fabulous experience and we will definitely be back.

The food the service , everything was outstanding. Our steaks were cooked to perfection, the Tiramisu was delicious and not bitter at all cannot fault the evening. Mandy who brought us our food etc was genuinely lovely attentive and very friendly such a lovely lady. Will definitely be back very soon!

Great food and service. But did lack atmosphere

Food and service good as it always is.

Faultless home cooking with generous portions served by friendly and helpful staff. Excellent value. Not local but will definitely return when next in the area.

This is now one of our favourite pubs! The food was amazing, quality impeccable and the service was lovely, friendly and prompt. We had a really lovely time and the pub has such a nice cosy atmosphere, I’m especially jealous of the little tea cups and teapots they had. Really recommend this place, so glad we stumbled upon it after our hospital trip!

A large group of us booked here to celebrate a 79th birthday, food was delicious, and the fact they got all meals out at the same time was amazing. Gluten free was catered for too! Will certainly be back here again!

Fantastic Sunday roast, was really busy when I got there, but definitely worth the wait. Excellent food. See you next week.

My family and I just keep coming back to this lovely little pub in Orsett. Lovely food, great service & so reasonably priced. We have already planned our next get together here, it is a family favourite! Thank you to all at the Whitmore Arms for always making our visits so worth while :D Highly recommend!

Had a lovely meal this evening. Food was great, arrived hot and delicious. Our waitress Lisa was amazing. Ben at the bar was great too. Highly recommend. 👍👍👍

Great pub/restaurant staff fantastic, food absolutely delicious! Highly recommend. Prices good! Will definitely go again

Outstanding, lovely food and excellent friendly service, you won't be disappointed 😊

Afternoon Tea fantastic service brilliant food well presented staff were friendly was treated like royalty. Thanks to Mandy and Amy for giving us a lovely afternoon they are two stars that kept looking after us with plenty of tea and coffee well worth the money . Thank you definitely would recommend .

Had an evening meal here with my other half. The steak and kidney suet pudding was delicious but the vegetables were tepid at best. The room was cold and our meals took ages to arrive - the elderly couple next to us were about to walk out. We had a Sunday lunch another time and it was one of the best we'd had anywhere - highly recommended. Service was quick and the pub was busy.

As always amazing food and a great service ! Great staff always welcoming nothing too much trouble very attentitive ! Irish coffees are a dream second to none and as I now found out are all down to the lovely Lisa’s own recipe ! Great visit will be back again asap !

Had Christmas day lunch .slow at first But a lot of diners so expected really. however service was very good nice Waiters waitresses very polite happy to help dinners.4 chef on duty.best roast potatoes I've ever eaten. Thank you chefs. Great pub not had a visit in a while no longer local resident.

Got my booking wrong but staff were really helpful and fitted us in. Really enjoyed the lunch - great staff and great food!

Booked this afternoon tea online on the 3rd November received confirmation there was no Request for a deposit! The complaint was totally justified ! I feel this afternoon tea was hurriedly put together,& not what you expect when you are Paying £29 per person Disappointed

Visited this Beautiful country pub today for Afternoon Tea. We pre-booked our cream teas a few weeks ago and opted for the Prosecco option, we had a selection of well presented cakes, scones and little patisseries plenty of Rodda’s cream and Tip tree jam with...

Having just returned from Afternoon Tea I feel compelled to write a review about our experience. Our table was ready and we were served promptly taking the option of Prosecco as this was a Christmas treat from my friend. However this is as good as it gets! The very dainty finger sandwiches were filled with very thick chunky beef slices and ham. My friends beef sandwich was inedible and the white bread used for the ham was soggy and flat. We spoke to the waitress and she came over and took the sandwiches away and returned after about ten minutes with a fresh platter. This time there was a choice of four, ham, cheese, chicken and prawn. Although this was a slight improvement, the white bread used was the same and still soggy and compressed. The cakes were very disappointing, a selection of very small, bite sized cakes which were clearly only recently defrosted. The three tier cake stand was topped with three small scones, just one each. The three pots of Rodda’s cream and jam were perhaps the one highlight of this pathetic excuse for an afternoon tea. Sadly most of the cream was wasted as the scones were so small! Now we come to paying the bill. When we had spoken to the waitress initially, she had said £5 would be deducted for the sandwiches which we thought was £5 off each meal. However when the bill arrived only £5 from the total bill had been deducted. We questioned this with the waitress but were told that the lady who made the tea had gone and she was unable to contact her. We then spoke to another member of staff who was very polite and apologetic, but said that unfortunately the owner was not willing to do anything more. So we had no option but to pay up, £29 each minus £5 divided by 3, and left feeling ever so slightly mugged! Needless to say, we will not be returning and hope that others, having read this revue, will perhaps think twice before booking!

My friend booked afternoon tea for 3 people a few weeks ago this morning 15 December she had a phone call from the Whitmore Arms asking were we still going and if so she should had paid a £5 deposit per person, she said she...

Really good menu. Some non English dishes.Food cooked to a high standard.Enjoyable surroundings

Still a beautiful pub with great food, shame the portion sizes have shrunk dramatically but it's not reflected in the price. They are still the same

Amazing Sunday roast with the family. Brilliant staff and fantastic food.

I was served by Stacey and Ben Davis. Very helpful with gluten allergy and the menu is clearly labelled. The dishes were fab. A proper pub.

Went with friends last Friday evening. Really nice pub, good atmosphere and very attentive staff. I wasn't too impressed with my own meal. Chunky chips in my opinion were undercooked (I prefer them crispy and golden in colour), chicken portion quite small. On the other hand, my husband's fish and chips looked lovely and he said he enjoyed it.

One of the finest roast dinners I’ve ever had. Excellent quality meat, super crispy roast potatoes, flavourful Yorkshire pudding, beautifully sweet roasted veg and gravy to die for. To cap it all off a wonderful venue

Good pub grub in nice surrounding and at areasonable cost
