The best restaurants serving British food in Rochford East of England

Our 2nd visit to this lovely cafe. The cheddar waffle topped with hot salt beef, poached eggs and hollandaise was delicious. We both opted for a white americano, such a good quality coffee. Staff friendly and attentive, we will most definitely be back soon.

Staff were so accommodating. Food was plentiful & delicious. Would like more Vegetarian options . Can’t wait to return.

I often cycled past this little place & the coffee has always smelt nice & the food looked great so took my mum for a light lunch & what great friendly service & made to feel so welcome, we both had panini’s which were lovely with plenty of filling & crisps & a latte, very nice & will definitely be going back again so well done Gossip staff X

A lovely atmosphere. The owner must be a decent person. Apart from perhaps selling the false grass that we walk on the Bean Machine and play area can not make a fortune Thank you Mr Geoffrey.

The staff are very friendly , food excellent. And what a lovely view to have even just for a cup of tea or coffee.

I would recommend, I ordered a 16oz rump med-rare and it was cooked perfectly delivered to the hotel ahead of time on a solid paper plate but the rump was very tough and chewy so meat quality not that great but still well worth it.

The best coffee shop in Essex five stars 🌟 🌟🌟🌟🌟☕️☕️☕️☕️☕️🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰👍

Channelle served us and was very attentive and polite - a very good service all round

Placed an order at the till when the drinks arrived one of the cups was dirty so my friend took it back the girl behind the counter said in a sarcastic manner well it’s not that bad she returned with a clean one then noticed her tea pot was leaking had a crack running from the top of the spout to the bottom causing it to leak over the table so we called the waitress over who looked clueless and she took the pot away and wiped up the table but didn’t come back with a replacement after 10 minutes I had to go to the till and ask where the replacement tea was again the lady was sarcastic . Won’t be returning staff in there need an overhaul.

Lovely food, highly recommended

Been going for years. Never disappointed. Friendly efficient staff. Great fish and chips cooked to order. They do lots of other things too if you don't like fish.

We had a nice lunch and will return soon. We both had the Sunday roast dinner, everything was cooked well and the portion size was good. The cost of the meal was reasonable.

The staff and other customers Even helped me to get my mum in to the pub from the car and back to the car after having a really quality meal and prawn cocktail starter

I've lived in the Southend area for nearly 53 years and knew of this pub only because a friend lives near but never eaten or drunk here until today on my 8 mile return walk from Rochford to Hockley. I had a pit stop on the way and back at this pub, coffee on the way, there and an amazing well deserved roast on the way back. The staff were helpful, polite and friendly and nothing was too much trouble. She even accepted my loose change as part payment for my coffee. I had a beetroot and squash tart with all the trimmings (yorkshire pudding, cauliflower cheese, brocolli, peas, carrots and plenty of gravy) instead of the beef roast as they had unfortunately run out, but it was extremely tasty, well cooked and definitely needed. I would recommend this local, friendly pub for the great food and service.So glad I stopped there. Will be visiting again!

Lovely atmosphere. Clean. Exceptional service. The food was fresh and good quality. Highly recommend. We had the shepherds pie special, salmon fishcakes and scampi with berry crumble and clotted cream ice-cream.
