The best restaurants in Burstead Basildon East of England

Brilliant food and fantastic service, great for a family gathering or special occasion. Second time we have used, this time food delivered early with simple heating instructions and was equally delicious 😋

The food and service here is fantastic. The restaurant is more of a takeaway as it is very small can probably fit two people in. The food is always really fresh and tasty. I personally think it is a little overpriced compared to other places

The only fault was the yorkshire puddings had been over cooked, so rock hard ,impossible to eat. Apart from that it was a great experience

Great fish and chips, great name, always get an extra sausage in batter but with the volume of chips can't always eat everything!

Great service Great food and Quality Food Nice flavor coffee Service with a smile. Never tried the restrooms but told clean and nice smelling

Whoever orders the cafes sandwich stock needs to learn to actually order enough as they hardly ever have coleslaw or chicken Caesar and other items, they can't say they've sold out as even if you go when it opens they don't have any. It's not just once it twice they run out they literally never have it in stock. Take it off the menu if your not going to order enough.

My cod. Was hanging off our 30cm plate as was the plaice,lovely food ,,Thank you.

Amazing loved the food defo recommend this is no.1 local now

We visited on Sunday March the 3rd with a party of 16 for my mums 90 th birthday.The location of table and the staff were fantastic the food was amazing and the whole afternoon was perfect was a little worried as I no pub gets busy and we was a large group but not an issue at all would definitely recommend

Apparently 27 years old is too old to get in according to the security 😂 who where pretty rude when a group of us turned up. Aged 21 - 40 odd. A family infront of us similar ages where also turned away. Now it did look like a school disco as we walked away so I’m glad we didn’t go BUT that does NOT excuse rude behaviour or attitude or telling people in their 20s they are too old to get in on a Saturday night. Good luck with the venue but yet again more lost customers here 👏

Very delicious food. Always order from dragon inn. Good customer service.

Nice pub, good food, attentive staff and great daily specials. Monday roasts are fab.

Kayleigh was amazing, great food and a great vibe

So nice, went in on the off chance we could get a table. The staff were really friendly and chatty. I had a cream tea, the scones were lovely and warm and nice and soft, absolutely delicious. There is a lot of choice on the menu. The prices was very reasonable well worth a look, but I would advise you give them a ring and book.

Average experience and mixed impressions about the food, overall we are not impressed. The saag paneer didn’t have fresh spinach. I would have preferred cubes of paneer rather than melting and pulling cheese. The butter was rich with a good thick sauce, but the meat was shredded so it was difficult to catch the pieces with the chapati. The chicken tikka had an astonishing ruby colour, and the sauce was too sweet. The garlic rice was amazing. The service was inconsistent. The dishes came quickly but we waited too long for the bill or to catch the attention of waiters who rather focused on welcoming new clients and preparing the tables. I think the service was inefficient as 4 people were working and the restaurant was busy, not full. Lots of people came in with a booking so I would recommend reserving a table for the weekend.
