The best restaurants serving British food in Basildon East of England

Fantastic coffee and a wide selection of great bagels (try the Aphrodite!!) staff are really friendly, we will be coming back

Absolutely lovely fish and chips! Tasty, fresh and very good value for money. Would definitely recommend and get our fish and chips from here again!

Friendly welcoming staff and amazing food including unique foods separating them from other quick food cafes.

The food and service here is fantastic. The restaurant is more of a takeaway as it is very small can probably fit two people in. The food is always really fresh and tasty. I personally think it is a little overpriced compared to other places

Very good fish and chips thanks to the oil used. Strange opening times at lunch time.Limited access.

The ‘Coach’ was by local during my formative years nearly 50 years ago and I still pop in now and again. Good beer and food, and always friendly service.

We have been here a few times and returned for their new years eve dinner which was spectacular. It was a set menu which included dishes I wouldnt usually order but was delicious and plates were clean after every course! Usually mass catering leads to cold food and differences in serving but not here. The well organised kitchen and team work of the staff was obvious, every dish was warm and they came out within seconds of eachother. The staff couldnt have done enough for us, from serving canapés to topping up our drinks, discretely and politely. It's clear that the staff enjoy their job, they joined in with us customers to celebrate at midnight which was lovely. The disco , saxophone lady and roulette were very welcome fun touches to the night. Thankyou magic mushroom for an unforgettable evening. We can't wait to return next year

Huge outside area at the back with a small bar. Inside it's as cosy as ever with a great atmosphere and friendly staff. Would recommend

Hi had a nice Sunday lunch the place to go

Brilliant service from Michael who was very friendly and helpful. A big thank you to him for providing outside service throughout our meal.

Today we had lunch and also got to meet Santa! The staff at Lillie’s are always so attentive and friendly and the food is always good. Santa was wonderful and took the time to talk to my daughter and also about my eldest daughter who sadly wasn’t we’ll so couldn’t make it. Lillies cafe is a wonderful place to eat and go to see Santa 🎅🏻

The best chip shop ever. Chicken pieces are gorgeous and the cod mini fillets are so tasty

i wish they would stick to their opening hours, went there today about 3.30 sorry we are closed had on the door closing time is advertised 4.30 this is not the first time, the family were dissapointed they had no pie and mash for tea, will think twice about going there again

Excellent variety of food , delicious cakes and good coffee. Well decorated cafe, clean and efficient service. After having visited a couple of times during a stay with my family who reside in Billericay. - I feel I have to agree with the TripAdvisor comment made way back in March of this year - some members of staff are abrupt - not to us personally but to one or two of the other customers. One subject was confusion over being able to make a booking..... I feel perhaps the ‘team’ need to jell more and work with the same set of rules. Otherwise I loved it!

This is now called Georges but is still a chip shop. The staff are cheerful and happy to help and meet your requirements. I went on Saturday to buy fish, chicken, savaloys and chips for a number of us and asked for the sothern fried chicken amongst other things and had quite a long wait as it was freshly cooked for me. When I got home with the food it was all piping hot and we had a nice meal. The portions are quite large and you will know that you have had a feast when you are finished. Well done can't wait to visit again when we wre in Billericay.
