The best restaurants in Rochford East of England

So last Saturday 23november we ordered takeaway our usual from the 2 set sections on menu asked the price when told yet again price had gone up another £3 odd so okay everything has … but when it arrived they have cut the portions down I always have beef curry egg fried rice served in same box well it was very dry I’d say 65%35% curry was not happy, pancake roll had literally 1 prawn in it an nothing but bean shoots an they charged us for delivery we only live by airport so next day I rang Timbo house an spoke to the lady who was very rude to me said the meal is always like that I told her Noway I’ve been having it for years then I questioned her about Delivery charge she said we have always been charged again Noway …I said are you going to do anything about this she was rude obnoxious an said No you haven’t ordered for 2-3yrs we order about 6 times a year for the past 25yrs I’d say ,,,,,,,,for £26 for that meal that would be our last from them

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.

Food was amazing as usual, all the staff was friendly and intentive, Kerry was out sever for the night and she went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and to make the night special. Every item of food we had was to an amazing quality and well worth the price, if you haven't eaten here yet you have to give it a go.

perfect! ( although we didn't get the marshmallows!)

Great ales, wonderful staff, friendly atmosphere

The worst takeaway ever had,turned up 10.50,waited behind car ,then when seen told only 3 minutes left till shut,then served me the dregs of what was left,fries totally inedible due to smothered in seasoning,twister only half filled,and mini fillet burgers,had no mayonnaise,and no lettuce for mini fillet wrap,absolutely disgraceful, will be sending pics to head office,based on the previous replies,I'm sure there standard reply wanting us to return,and will pass info on,well my answer is no chance I rather eat my toe nails than eat the crap you serve

We ended up in this pub just by chance and tried out their menu. To our surprise the food was exceptional, the staff were also very friendly and accommodating. I Will be returning very soon and most definitely recommending to friends.

Such good value , very quick and fresh and loverly flavours, would find it hard to fault for the price and quality

Great pub, great staff and definitely the only place to go in Rayleigh.

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

We had a wonderful Sunday lunch with friends at the Bull! Food and atmosphere were great and Adam was so welcoming! Thanks so much

Lovely as always delivered by a polite and cheerful young lad, thank you.

Spent an hour sitting waiting in their reception, only had a very small order, someone walked in 40 minutes after me and requested theirs ASAP and pushed him up the order and received it 5-10 minutes later, received the food FINALLY and was luke warm, will not be returning, a shame really

Lovely pancake roll. Always hot and great service.

Came down for a meal with family was very happy with the service and especially the quality off beers and the variety of choice they had. Food was spot on my son loved his pasta and his strawberry ice cream definitely will go back as staff where friendly
