The best restaurants in Basildon West Berkshire South East

A real old pub decor the same as it's been for years , great ales ,lovely warm filled rolls and good conversation What more do you want?

Este fue probablemente el mejor restaurante de comida de domingo que hemos tenido durante años. La bienvenida fue cálida y genuina, el entorno, con vistas a la calle 1 y la 18 tee th green era precioso y la comida era especial. Una mesa enorme de servirte entrantes (gambas, salmón, salmón ahumado, patés, ensaladas) y luego un asador con asados perfectamente cocinado y una amplia selección de verduras. No podía soportar un dulce! El precio de la comida era sensata, puede elegir tener dos o tres campos con diferentes precios. El vino era demasiado caro. Totalmente recomendado, pero nos dijeron que el chef estaba dejando así que antes de ir que el almuerzo de los domingos es todavía el mismo estilo.

This was our first visit to this old world charming pub where there is a wide selection of traditional pub food on offer with three courses for a very reasonable price. Or there is an al la carte menu which is a tad more expensive. Our total bill came to juist over £80 for three people including a bottle of excellent Chilean Sauvignon Blanc and coffees. The food was great without being fancy and was not hidden under some unidentifiable gravy or add ons. The pub was busy and the staff most welcoming and attentive. The pub closes after the lunch session which we did not know and we lingered over our coffee but the lady in charge said this was not a problem which we appreciated as we had travelled a distance. This was a most enjoyable experience and we will be returning again in the future to enjoy first class service food and hospitality.

Really great find, went to meet a business colleague, had lunch. Was a great venue for working, meeting and entertaining

Had a lovely lunch at Cobbs today. Excellent food delivered by very attentive staff in convivial surroundings. What more could one ask.

Food wasn’t available due to chef , but the atmosphere was amazing rooms are 5***** … not to mention the hospitality of a lady called “Sam” she couldn’t do enough for us xx will visit again

The location is great, next to a weir. Large car park. After lunch, one can take a scenic walk over the bridge and alongside the canal.

I am a local and have come a large number of times over the years and always been disappointed. Especially with the service. (At my adult daughter’s birthday dinner in July the waitress literally threw down her birthday pudding as she strode by without a word!) Last weak 3 of us came for a full lunch which was ok ish but horribly overpriced. the hostess at the entrance to the restaurant was rude beyond belief . As we stood at the desk waiting to be seated she carried on preparing a table in the empty bay nearby and spoke from there . Her words were “yes” . We said we woul like a table outside and were greeted by silence. She eventually came to the desk and asked us “is there one free” in an incredibly arrogant way. Her job to find out not ours. The conversation continued in the same vein. It’s hard to get over how rude she was. Undeterred I came to the cafe today and bought a roast beef roll and a tiny americano. £12.50!!!!! The beef was full of fat and sinews. I tried to chew it but impossible and had to remove from my mouth. Totally inedible. I ended up just eating the tomato and roll. If this place was not on the river no one would ever come here. It’s a disgrace. Never again.

This small piece of cake was £4.25! 😳

Great pub. Great location. Samantha went out of her way to make myself and my dog feel very welcomed. I will definitely be going back again.
