The best restaurants in Milton Southend-on-Sea East of England

Absolutely brilliant. Had mums 90th birthday afternoon tea here. Highly recommend staff absolutely amazing as some of the guests needed helping upstairs and they insisted on helping. Nothing was too much for them. Highly highly recommend. We had the whole of upstairs to ourselves which was brilliant. Pls consider this location as handy for parking and vvv kind people working there. ! Defo 10/10!!!

Had a lovely lunch here today. So many drink choices on the menu, significantly more than costa and starbucks (albeit similarly priced, but the drinks were nicer than starbucks in my opinion) I had a smoothie and a toastie and were both very good. Staff were nice a polite too.

Firstly our waitress was really friendly and took time to explain what gluten free options were on the menu for my friend. Despite being busy the service was good. The food was ok, but nothing special. There is a good choice of food on the menu. It is definitely worth going here before a show at the Cliffs Pavilion but do book as it’s very popular.

Did not want food from food stands in adventure island . Want to have a proper meal sitting down having china plates and metal knives and forks. But got none of this only cheap and nasty paper cartons and wooden forks. The food was as bad as the cartons very little and might as well of eaten the carton wouldn't think the taste was any different from the food. Meant to be chicken fillet burger plus chip also some dried up pizza and so call lasagna so expensive too. I hate mc Donald's but wish we had gone there a least it would not have cost as much and the kids would have enjoyed it . Now will get reply which say they will pass on to management . Who don't give a toss

Late night munch, only place open

We went for an early lunch and was seated and given menus quickly. Between us, we ordered an omelette, chicken sandwich, a kids meal of sausage and chips, and a bowl of chips. We waited about 45 minutes for our meal, given that there weren't many people seated, thought this was quite a long wait. When we got our meals, we were very surprised the kids meal literally had one sausage, and a few chips (I think this was about £7 or £8) The chicken sandwich was cheap bread and minimal salad garnish. The omelette was nice, although I had to share with my grandson as he was still hungry!!! Don't think this is one I would come back to.

Appalling The rudest staff I have ever met Don't do the job if you don't enjoy it Management needs to address the waitresses...bitter, rude, aggressive

Our office Christmas party night at Ravens was a fantastic night. The service was very friendly and I can honestly say that this was the best food of all the work Christmas parties attended over the years. Thanks to all of the Ravens team for making this a night to remember. We hope to be back next year!

Lovely bar with a great view. Well priced food and drink, and great friendly bar staff. Wonderful venue for enjoying a sunny day.

We have been a few times here now for Sunday lunch and the food is fantastic. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. We went with friends who also really liked it and have been back with us twice already. We usually stay on for the band which are generally excellent. A great day/night out at a great price. I will miss the current owners when they leave and can only hope the new owners keep it the same and don't try to fix something that's already mended.

Great place. Have yearly passes, kids absolutely love going there.

I ordered a salmon fillet, and it was truly awful. Dry and tasteless. How can you sell such garbage for £16.50? Your prices are on par with places like Salsa or Ask Italia, but there, they would never serve me overcooked, dry fish! This is supposed to be a salmon fillet, not fried fish! It should be cooked in the oven at a low temperature, covered in foil to keep it moist. I will never eat your food again! If you can’t cook, just close the restaurant. I thought this was a nice restaurant by the sea, but it turned out to be a low-grade, overpriced canteen! Train your chefs on how to cook salmon, and why wasn’t it even seasoned? Haven’t you heard of salt? Even the salad was awful—no olive oil, no vinegar, just bland greens! Don’t order salmon here!

After getting chips and saveloy to take away. I wish I walked back has my chips was cold. Maybe next time I will. The rating is for service only.

We took our father to The Captains Table yesterday for a birthday lunch. The staff were very friendly, the food was excellent, massive portions. The fish and chips were especially good. Served with smiles. We had a problem getting our disabled father from his wheelchair back into the car and the waitress and chef came to the rescue. Such lovely people, we would probably still be there if they hadnt helped us! I can’t praise them enough, wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this restaurant .Thanks guys
