We have been using Lazy Pickle for literally years - and I can’t believe we haven’t left a review so far. Burgers are always a good size and great tasting - moist and toppings - yum - rosemary chips are so good. The last couple of years they have introduced pizzas - unfortunately they don’t do a skinny base but on the plus side the pizza toppings are plentiful. I ordered ham and pineapple with a request of jalapeños- delivered without a problem. The other thing - when you use their website to order, there will be an estimated time of delivery if you select asap. Our orders are always early and the delivery staff are so friendly. We’ve never gone wrong here - couldn’t recommend more highly!

Lovely family run ice cream parlour. Was lovely to have a chat with the owner who was so friendly and knowledgeable. Also was lovely meeting their lovely dog. Doughnuts, to die for!

Went to Clifford's for the first time today for breakfast. Lovely place and staff were really friendly and accommodating. Vicky in particular was great and couldn't do enough for us! She really went above and beyond so thank you Vicky. The food was lovely, good portions and very reasonably priced. We will definitely be back!

Had our small wedding party here for food and drinks. Exceptional value too. The room is so light and airy and the tables were set up beautifully too. Could not fault the food or service and so glad we had our wedding here. Having a party in March and am equally looking forward to that too.

We visited for my husband‘s birthday. We were a table of five and arrived at 7 pm. On arrival. We were the only diners in the restaurant. Three other tables were occupied by the time that we left 9 pm. This was a sat night. The menu has changed fewer choices or maybe fewer fine dining choices. The signature dish seemed to be the steak either steak on the stone or cooked so we opted for steak. The menu even contains a little joke. “Don’t ask the chef to cook well or medium well “ I opted for medium rare so when it arrived, I struggled to find the pink meat. I also ordered some garlic bread for our daughters, it arrived smothered in cheese but no mention that it would have cheese both daughters don’t eat cheese . The waiting staff require additional training. A female server. Didn’t even apologise when I complained about my steak instead told me it would be a further 15 minutes for a new piece , that wouldn’t work as everyone else had been served. They would’ve been nearly finished when mine arrived. Her solution was to scrap the order all together, but I came to a restaurant to eat. That wasn’t a good solution, the senior server, or maybe the manager later came over and offered to compensate for the steaks and provided a discount, which is really good of him, the chips could’ve been triple cooked for that crispy restaurant feel they suspiciously look like they may have come out of a packet also . After we complained about the steaks, we didn’t receive any additional service. We had to request a desert menu, being gluten-free. I asked what was gluten-free on the menu. I was told nothing it’s not completely unusual but usually you’re offered either ice cream or sorbet. We had the feeling that we were no longer wanted so forfeited the deserts for our table of five, asked for the bill and left, one of our diners was in a wheelchair, no point did anyone offer to open the door so we navigate of the double doors ourselves and left disappointed . Positively the cocktails and the beers were delicious. My recommendation would be hire some staff that smile or are attentive, become a bar and do what you are good at. This used to be one of my husband’s favourite restaurants in Southend. I’m not sure will visit again though. Bad times!

We ordered the children ice creams in the better cones but my daughter and I wanted a regular 99 but because the cone was so small the ice cream didn’t sit on top so it all fell off was offered a pot. But surely getting a 99 with a cone you should be able to eat it. Why make the cones too small. Waste of money should of paid extra and got it somewhere else
