The best restaurants in Thurrock East of England

Absolutely amazing thanks to the amazing employee Craig absolute angel treated my son like a god would recommend. I ask costa very kindly he is a keeper and deserves a raise

The person who prepared my mcflurry was walking around chatting to her colleagues before giving melting ice-cream.

Really friendly staff offering great service, I will definitely be ordering here again.

Incompetent waiter first took our order. Young Asian gentleman wearing glasses. Messed up the drinks order and the food order completely. Tried arguing over the fact I wanted to order a small portion of Mac and cheese for my elderly grandmother and said that we couldn’t. Had to have one dish re cooked as it was completely wrong.

Went here on a quiet Thursday evening. Received a very warm welcome from the manager who was friendly and chatty. We ordered one of the meal deals and it all arrived hot and tasty. Salad bar was well stocked. Waitress was efficient. We like ordering online in restaurants these days, it's quick and easy. However the only downfall with this is that at the time of ordering you're asked if you want to leave a tip. At this point you don't know if you want to leave one or not! We didn't have any cash with us so we left without tipping which was a real shame because they deserved one!

We had a superb breakfast which was fairly priced. The staff are just so nice, very friendly and helpful and the service delivery is excellent. Really nice coffee as well, which is better than major coffee shops.

We was the only ones there on a sunny afternoon in August!, empty, dark & uninviting & stuck in the corner of the restaurant. Just 8 finger sandwiches & 2 tea plates of the same cakes that was obvious ready for the wedding that day, no scones, tarts, sausage rolls etc & given 2 white MUGS to help ourselves from the vending machine, then left alone, we had to ask them back as vending machine not working, no tea pot etc. Definitely not enough staff & definitely not worth £31!! How they call it an afternoon tea!. . I refused to pay. Thankfully we was at a wonderful event there in the evening - food not supplied by them!.

The ship pub has a special place in my heart! It is a family run pub with a very welcoming atmosphere. Every weekend there is unreal entertainment as well as mid week quizzes. The food is always outstanding and I honestly will not go anywhere else for a drink.

1st time I have tried sainsys and was not disappointed, the pies are huge and filled to bursting point, mash was lovely and so was the liquor. Ordered and collected couldn't find a parking space so it was brought out to my car thank you for that. Will defiantly be going back for more. Didn't have time to take photos, it was demolished as soon as it was on the plate lol

Ordered 1 pizza on the phone and it came to £30, I questioned this price and the arrogant staff member told me it's normally £11.99 but I ordered it via the phone. That's a £20 increase ( what a complete joke ) she wouldn't refund me and now I've has to waste 3 hours of my chasing the head office. Go somewhere else.

Got a takeaway from here last night , what a disappointment , cold bbq spare ribs with no meat , s/s chicken balls were off you could smell the eggs were off in the thick soggy batter. Thought it might be nice to try a different takeaway and wished I hadn’t bothered , I will not be returning!!!!!

They delivered to the wrong address when told they shouted at me and said there was nothing they can do about it had to sort it myself the food was inedible and cold by the time it was sorted will never use them again only giving a star because I have to

Our default Indian takeaway, reliably good . Used only one other Curry house in the last 18 months. And good value too !

Honestly, I know that Grays beach has been going seriously down hill since the new owner over the last couple of years but today I can and I was shocked at the state of it. Filthy, scruffy and completely unkept. Truly disappointing, this was without the state of the overpriced cafe.

Absolutely gutted £45 worth of food down the drain was cold tasted disgusting and worse of all wasn’t even cooked properly first and last time I use these.
