The best restaurants in Chafford and North Stifford Thurrock East of England

We visit the sandmartin on Thursdays for dinner and the quiz. It's best to book a table as sometimes there are a lot of teams entered. Megan does a brilliant job of reading out the questions and answers. She also helps us oldies when we can't scan the QR code or if we lose the page altogether. Always with a smile! The atmosphere is fun and loud and always entertaining. Thanks Megan. Keep up the good work. See you next Thursday.

Love it here , 10/10 reccomend xx

The breakfast was cooked well and tasted delicious. The staff were friendly and helpful.

Just a arrived home after our breakfast at Harvester. Grays As normal food was great The atmosphere is just brilliant and service always done with a smile and very efficient. Hope all harvesters have a JAMES KAREN and JOVITA All three are just brilliant and a credit to Harvester. Can see why the Harvester Grays is always busy. Chris Murphy

Don’t bother wasting your time or money on Lotus. The quality of the food is inadequate

We decided to give this place another try after a disappointing dinner in 2024. While there have been some improvements, it’s still far from becoming a favorite of ours for food. The service remains painfully slow, especially on a busy, sunny Saturday, and the food is underwhelming. I ordered the sausage and mash, but the presentation was unappealing—everything seemed to be drowning in gravy. The sausages were overcooked and burned, as was my husband’s Wagyu burger. To top it off, no sauces were offered, which only added to the overall disappointment. Unfortunately, it just doesn’t live up to expectations.

As I walked in, already greeted by a young man! Bright smile all the time, even quickly moving out from behind the reception and opening the door widely to let a electric scooter driven by a pensioner into the shop, very helpful. After we ordered, received a voucher and he explained to us what it’s about, shortly our foods is ready and we noticed free crackers as well, if you ordered over £20. Everything freshly cooked in an open kitchen, quickly and professionally. My favorite Wall Siu Chicken was lovely, sweet chili sauce over sliced chicken breast meat. Definitely worth recommending this place. Service is second to none!
