The best restaurants in Rochford East of England

Cosy little space, great breakfast & coffee, really friendly staff.

We have always used Lubbards for our Indian food and it used to be outstanding. However, tonight’s food was very poor in comparison, there was just one bag of salad, no raita, and the mixed starters were dry and quite tasteless. To top it all, I asked as I always do for the vegetable curry that accompanies the biriani to be Madras hot, when it was delivered, I had been charged for an extra full size vegetable curry although I had gone through the order twice with the person on the phone! Will not be bothering again.

I often cycled past this little place & the coffee has always smelt nice & the food looked great so took my mum for a light lunch & what great friendly service & made to feel so welcome, we both had panini’s which were lovely with plenty of filling & crisps & a latte, very nice & will definitely be going back again so well done Gossip staff X

Visited this restaurant with my Sister and enjoyed a lovely meal. Service and food excellent. Only gripe was the Music was too loud . And genre was not appropriate. Some background Indian music would have been nice. Couldn't have a conversation as just too loud although waiter did turn it down when we asked. Otherwise a great restaurant. Will visit again.

Fantastic service and food as always

My wife took me out for my birthday meal at lunch time ( so no kids🤣 ) had wonderful meal my steak was cooked just right my had a lovely lasagna which we’ve took some home with us lovely service nice and quiet as Friday early lunch time just perfect for the 2 of us ❤️

Best fish and chips in the area by far. Crispy fresh batter and great chips. Spot on. Try out the Metro West Detroit style pizza whilst there too. It's amaaazing! You have to pre-order that though.

Got the chefs special and was nice. Thank you

I found a couple of treasures here. A beautiful azalea and a handsome little pine tree. It's a shame the cafe ran out of decaff coffee and I had to ask for extra butter for my teacakes. At £4.50 I expect two for the top and two for the bottom, but two jams was very generous. I only needed one of them. I will return for the plants sometime.

We've been meaning to come for ages, it was definitely worth the wait, and we won't leave it so long next time! The lunchtime set menu was amazing value for money (even tho we were greedy and went for an extra dish!) We had the chorizo (perfection), whitebait (superb), prawns, tortilla, jamon y queso patatas, cerdo iberico, almond & lemon tarts - all were absolutely authentic, flavoursome and hit the Spanish spot perfectly. Marie was a wonderful hostess and looked after us impeccably. We'll be back very soon and hopefully it will be sunny enough to enjoy the garden and have the full Spanish experience! Thank you all.
