The best restaurants serving British food in Basildon East of England

Visited with my children and parents. Food was good, served quickly, hot & delicious. Service was excellent, the waitresses are very friendly and efficient. Unfortunately the man cooking who I can only assume is the owner was absolutely disgusting to his staff. The manner in which he talks to the girls is shameful, it was uncomfortable to sit and eat my food having to listen to him shout & belittle the them. I will not be returning.

We had a toasted bacon sandwich and tea. Jacket potato with chesse and beans .black coffee And both enjoyed it potato was full of flavour with small side salad.staff were pleasent Been here a few times and always enjoy

Our second visit and it did disappoint a little. It was a Saturday morning and service was a bit slow. After 15-20 mins, we ended up waving to get their attention so we could order. When the food did arrive, it was cold so we ended up sending 3 out of 4 dishes back! They were re-done with no hassle and came out fine second time round, but there were no complimentary drinks or discount to apologise which I'd typically expect. Would give another go and hope for better!!

Only do the Xmas fair. Great for getting handmade bits for Christmas. We have been getting the meat for our Christmas dinner for the past couple of years too

Food is lovely, always fast, price not bad But biggest asset to this business is waitress Shelly, she is always so friendly, chatty and happy Seems like she loves her job which is so lovely to see Shelly needs a pay rise

Apparently 27 years old is too old to get in according to the security 😂 who where pretty rude when a group of us turned up. Aged 21 - 40 odd. A family infront of us similar ages where also turned away. Now it did look like a school disco as we walked away so I’m glad we didn’t go BUT that does NOT excuse rude behaviour or attitude or telling people in their 20s they are too old to get in on a Saturday night. Good luck with the venue but yet again more lost customers here 👏

Lovely lunch here with friends today. Excellent food and service. Our waitress called Donna was very friendly and helpful, nothing seemed too much trouble . Have used this restaurant a lot over the years and always had a positive experience. Will be returning again soon. Thank you!

Absolutely gutted this has shut for good! Been drinking here on and off for 17 years. Staff come and go with new ideas and new rules but at the end of the day the regulars make it good along with a mixture of your desirables next door, some with whom I've enjoyed a few drinks with and some the current staff kept in check!! Will miss the bike nights and all the car meets!!! Such a shame the legendary Harrow pub, we all now know as the Dick Turpin, has come to an end! Yet another great British pub moving on for cash reasons. I'm really disappointed with Greene King. It's sad to drive past now to see it boarded up with concrete blocks on the perimeter, making it look like a prison! I hope this is a painless transition....thanks to all the accommodating staff that are now looking for work. 😓

gorgeous delicious food always . delivered nice and hot great service better food

Great atmosphere, great staff & always great service...the sunday roast is always a fave of mine & would wholeheartedly recommend a visit..the only thing I would say is dont bother with extra roast potatoes as we paid £4.25 & ended up with 4 potatos! There is always more gravy needed so I would suggest a more filled pot but the staff are always happy to get extra for you

We were a party of 16 friends. We booked our Christmas meal in August, paid a deposit and chose our menu options two weeks prior to the date. Such a well-organised evening. We had one long table and everything was ready when we arrived. Some had 3 courses and others had two. The staff were excellent at getting the food out together, all piping hot and well-presented. And quality of food was excellent. We couldn’t fault the service all brilliantly managed by Aurora. Thank-you for a smashing evening.

Food delicious and great service.

All food was excellent especially the low and slow rib of beef which we have not seen any were else it was so tender would recommend thank you

Quick bite to eat with my son and 2 of his mates. They had burgers cooked lovely served fast and hot. I had chicken salad lovely and fresh. Katie was our waitress and was very helpful

First time we went the toasties were brilliant, since then we have tried to go in on 3 different Sundays with family in which they have not had gluten free bread. Unfortunately we won’t be returning anymore, allergies should be catered for throughout everyday of the week 😞
