The best restaurants in Rochford East of England

I had prebooked a table online for the outside seating area. We were allowed to select the table to sit at. The three staff members working were polite, friendly, and welcoming. It was fairly busy at the time we arrived, so the staff had a lot to do such as cooking and serving. It did take 15 minutes from sitting to receive a menu and again roughly 10/15 minutes to get our order taken. Though, I do understand the staff had a lot to do, with there being so few of them. Saying that, the staff were always smiling and happy to help customers. Prices for drinks are reasonable, but I feel the food was slightly on the expensive side for the amount you got. The paninis we ordered tasted delicious and had a good amount of filling. They were accompanied by some doritios and a small portion of salad. It would have been nice to have the option to choose whether you wanted doritios or ready salted crisps, as I don't like doritos. So I was practically paying £8 for a panini. We also ordered pancakes for dessert. These were of a good size, and you were given 2. There were a good amount of toppings, and it was also served with whipped cream. The pancakes were tasty! All food was served promptly. There are two covered areas outside and a few tables which aren't undercover. They have decorated the outside area nicely with flowers and fairy lights, which gives the place a nice touch. They also have a cabin that you can sit in, this looked pretty and cosy. This was my second time visiting here, and both visits were good. The staff working here are doing a great job.

Me and my Friend got a takeaway as it was his birthday. We ordered the twin deal. When the food arrived we both noticed that the mozzarella dippers were cold and they were not cooked. The BBQ wings had no BBQ sauce on them and they were tiny and over cooked. The stuff crust hot dog was only half a hot dog and was disgusting, dry, burnt edges. I understand that pizza gogo is cheaper, but I will never use them again after such a disappointing take away. I would had complained and sent it back but I didn't want to moan and ruin my friends birthday any more than gogo had already ruined the evening.

When I ask for my steak rare I don’t expect it turn up chewier than the belt I’m wearing, there is either a major supply chain issue or a drunken chef. Do not eat here and expect a good meal.

I would just like to highlight the value of a member of your staff..’BARRY’. I attended the store today in Hockley on my way to work wearing my work uniform (paramedic) and a member of staff ‘BARRY’ insisted on paying for my pizzas, as a thank you for my service. This kind gesture touched me and really made my day…. and it will not be forgotten. What a wonder kind person you are THANK YOU BARRY… Rebecca

My wife and I have visited this café many times and I’ve enjoyed good food e.g. their fish and chips discount after 3 pm, or the wonderful cream tea. We have always been met with friendly service and very little delay.

Ordered for the first time tonight and both pizza were so dry, both had no sauce on them. One was meant to have bbq drizzled on it and the American hot I ordered had no based sauce with it, both were dry and bland!

Whatever you do - take sandwiches, eat your partner’s ear , starve but do not eat here .I am sure dog food tastes better than the ‘meat feast’ I was served as it was utterly foul.I was really hungry as was an early flight ,slept a little late , no breakfast so ordered here but could not eat more than 2 mouthfuls- utterly shocking!

not impressed at all, first order and will never order again from them. website was good, got our fodo about 40mins later and they had forgot the crispy mushrooms, chesse sticks were cold as were the chips, so i thought id eat what we could then call them afterwards. dopey girl on the phone talking to the manager but i could here her, and the manager in the background saying "what does he want me to do now, its 30 mins after the food has been delivered'' i said i wanted to eat my luke warm food before calling. he said i will give them to you next time, i said no i want a refund and he said have to send the driver with cash, all 3.25 of it! amaziing customer service. first and the last order i still have the taste of grease in my mouth. spent jsut under forty pound and feel ripped off with it, its bascially the burger van food on the side of the road. avoid or you will end up like me
