The best restaurants in Wickford Castledon Basildon East of England

Fantastic coffee and a wide selection of great bagels (try the Aphrodite!!) staff are really friendly, we will be coming back

Just had family munch box, absolutely fantastic, nice and friendly people too. Defiantly go back. Thank you

Beautifully cooked food with very impressive presentation for a takeaway. By far the best food in Essex. Cannot recommend this place enough. Thank you Jimmy and his Team. Definitely have a customer for life on me

Excellent food and service lots of space to enjoy your food could do with some music in the background but understand that could put prices up i thought prices where very reasonable. Enjoyed it very much thank you.

Extortionate prices for not very good food. There are local cafes that do much better food for a fraction of the price. These people just rip you off.

Today we had lunch and also got to meet Santa! The staff at Lillie’s are always so attentive and friendly and the food is always good. Santa was wonderful and took the time to talk to my daughter and also about my eldest daughter who sadly wasn’t we’ll so couldn’t make it. Lillies cafe is a wonderful place to eat and go to see Santa 🎅🏻

First time here, and I would never go they again, not accommodating at all, the bar lady was friendly and the 2 young girls was nice, the chef was rude, the whole experience was awful 😢 I do t recommend at all

Friendly staff, nice food and very reasonably priced. Portions very generous and they use nice bread.

The food was amazing but the experience was ruined because of my waitress. She was not nice at all, grumpy and rude. I requested to personalise my order and she was so rude about it. I ordered a water and they served my boyfriends drink but never served my water, even after they brought the food out. Again the waitress’s attitude was terrible, she ruined the experience and actually threw our bread down on the table. Didn’t acknowledge us or anything, just threw it down as she walked past. The rest of the staff were absolutely wonderful, it’s a shame that one woman let them down.

We ordered from the Canvey store for delivery and the quality / taste of the food was amazing! Reminded me of 5 guys. It was a little pricey though! We ordered 3 small burgers and 1 portion of regular chips (no drinks) and it was over £30 ! Other than that I defo recommend!

In my opinion, this Turkish restaurant in Essex stands out as the finest among its peers. The culinary offerings are of exceptional quality, and the service provided is impeccable. The establishment itself exudes an ambiance that is deserving of a perfect rating. The individual who attended to our table demonstrated remarkable professionalism and graciousness. We had the pleasure of celebrating a birthday at this establishment, and they graciously accommodated us by presenting the cake, playing a Turkish birthday song, and the entire restaurant joined in the celebration with clapping and singing. This transformed the occasion into an unforgettable experience.

It's closed and boarded up. Devastated as we've been going there for 35 years

I think it would be fair to say this is among the best fish and chip shops I've been to. I can particularly compliment the cod, the chips, the cod roe and the battered sausage, although others in my party also recommend the skate and the pies. In general the fish is always tasty, and the batter is exactly my favourite consistentcy. Chips being an integral part of fish and chips, I'd like to particularly mention that the chips here are consistently great, which as a person that prefers chips without salt is a big bonus! Finally, service is always very quick, and if every I get delivery it's always similarly speedy.

Just had breakfast not impressed at all had cheapest sausage cheap tasteless bacon egg tomato & beans which were ok 2 supposedly buttered granary toast which was brown bread I specifically ask for granary. Don't go to Wickford much but next time wait and go to spoons a lot cheaper and much better quality produce.
