The best restaurants in Barling and Sutton Rochford East of England

Wonderful evening with Car club, nothing to much trouble, food lovely and big portions. Thank you

Took my wife, elderly father and son for a bite to eat and a pint on Saturday afternoon. Busy but prompt and friendly service with a good range of beer. Traditional pub food on offer with other options - I had the chicken fajitas, dad had the steak and ale pie,!my wife had the ribs and my son had scampi - all food nice and hot, plenty of it and genuinely tasty. Highly recommend - thanks for looking after us

I have driven past Smokey’s for the last couple of months and have been desperate to try it out… it did not disappoint! I had the pitmasters platter with a side of Mac n cheese. I could barely finish it! It was meaty and taste so good, the ribs & wings especially were absolutely banging. This is my new favourite place, nothing special inside but the food is 10/10 which makes up for it, I’ll definitely be returning with my mates again soon!

My 50th birthday breakfast with the family. Such a huge disappointment! So we had pre -booked the table 2 weeks prior as we were a party of 7. We arrived on time for our 11am booking and we seated with in minutes. The waitress came over but, rather than standing at the end of the table she stood behind 3 of our party, so ordering was made a little difficult as one of our party was hard of hearing, so to make it easier 3 of us moved our chairs to turn around to speak to the waitress. We all placed our orders and waited, and waited, and waited. 50 minutes after ordering (11.50 am) our breakfast turned up with our drinks! We ate breakfast and wanted to order more drinks and some of the party wanted order so cakes. But unfortunately we were told they were to busy to serve us at the moment?? So we went to order at the counter. Once we ordered we then had another 35 minute wait. Finally the cakes and coffees arrived, but unfortunately because one of the party had ordered a crumble, and that had to go through the kitchen it was around another hours wait. Then trying to pay was an absolute nightmare, everyone was so busy it was a 25 minute wait to just pay the bill. Finally leaving in just under 3 hours for breakfast. Food was lovely but the staff and wait was utterly ridiculous. Never again will I visit this place!
