The best restaurants in Ashingdon and Canewdon Rochford East of England

The staff really looked after us food excellent

Lovely Christmas decorations,big variery of unusual presents from the gift shop and great customer service from friendly staff

Cold veg, undercooked chips and roast potatoes. Over cooked beef, lamb however tender and pleasant. Service only just adequate. The only meal that was pleasant in our 12 person group was the garlic prawns. We didn't give feedback at the time as it was the only place we could book and it was a sensitive family occasion. Its really sad because this used to be a lovely place to eat.

Ideal venue for a very nice meal.

Just had a really nice Sunday lunch. The staff are a happy and helpful team and the food was fresh hot and plentiful what more could you ask. By far the best Sunday roast in the area. Thanks we’re already planning our next visit.

Friendly and fast service. Delicious food. Very dog friendly. Lovely old pub and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely make return visits. Many thanks.

Really good service! All staff cheerful, polite, and welcoming. We had breakfast which was reasonably priced and tasty. Well presented. Highly recommend. They have just decorated the pub for xmas and it looks terrific! Geoff

Food nice but waited too long for it booked 4pm table food never arrived until 5 15 pm ? Staff great kitchen staff needs sorting

Booked the festive fayre menu, even spoke to staff about pre ordering the food, did everything they said then an hour before our booked time they phoned and said you can't have the food because I filled the form in wrong even though they had told me what to do...extremely disappointed with them also have a very upset special needs/autistic son who had been looking forward to it!

Absolutely gorgeous place. Lovely food. Great staff but object to people standing smoking right by you while you are eating flicking ash! Has put us off going back unless you sit indoors. Shame really.

The wife and myself got two cod specials tonight 22/12 we paid £15.50 the fish was warm and soggy and so was the chips pretty rubbish dinner this chip shop is hit or miss

I have been here 3 times since it was reopened and the food never ceases to amaze me. A great chef, I must say. As for the staff, they were very friendly and welcoming. A lovely place for a drink and a chat but if you do go please try the food as you will not be disappointed. I have read other reviews and some people have said it's a bit pricey but you get what you pay for.

The service was top-notch! Fran and her team make you very welcome and go above and beyond to ensure a memorable dining experience, the Sunday roast we had yesterday was one of the best I have recently had . Thank you

Been here many times over the years and it consistently been a nice experience the menu is great + specials . And the staff and service has always been good. Never had a bad experience .. Great food and service and sensible pricing.

Ordered large chips and I must say they were the worst chips we had ever had. They were white, hard, and just about warm. You couldn't even put them between bread to disguise the look and taste. £7 in the bin for two large chips, never again.
