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.

Terrible arrived 11.45 for lunch not overly busy after being shocked at the price's went up too order as this is the new system 2 people in front lady came out from the kitchen saying to the server I need some help in here then turned to tell us all queuing there will be a 45 minute delay on top of the usual wait time I enquired what is your normal wait time was told 20 to 30 minutes so it will probably be over an hour I said there are lots of empty tables so how can it be so long she replied I don't know just do what I'm told, needless to say we walked out speaking to a gentleman on the table next to us who had eaten his food he said they had waited 45 minutes for 2 sandwiches and a coffee and had asked twice where there food was. We will not return again such a shame was a lovely friendly run restaurant before cannot see this lasting.

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

Really helpful staff, lots of choice for gifts and parties. I love this shop, it feels so homely and welcoming. Great balloon choice

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.

Had a Christmas dinner & dessert here, 3rd year running. Exceptional. Staff are so lovely & helpful too. Great atmosphere. Really enjoyed.

£45 and every thing was cold and it was delivered by car. Not great when you have ordered Steak and jacket potato

Refused to do a takeaway coffee because they was too busy.

easy to park, pleasant staff, good food

Food nice but waited too long for it booked 4pm table food never arrived until 5 15 pm ? Staff great kitchen staff needs sorting

Booked the festive fayre menu, even spoke to staff about pre ordering the food, did everything they said then an hour before our booked time they phoned and said you can't have the food because I filled the form in wrong even though they had told me what to do...extremely disappointed with them also have a very upset special needs/autistic son who had been looking forward to it!

Mostly good, however the Hunter's Chicken from the Senior Menu was very disappointing. Visited again. Nice place great value food. Been several times recently and always good

Good value compared to some other pub restaurants in the area.

What a little gem this place is! We needed a dog friendly pub to dine with a friend but as we're no longer locals we had to choose based on reviews. Delighted with our choice. It was a treat to eat here. A friendly welcome, fairly priced and fantastic food (the fishcakes were delicious!) And our spaniel really appreciated the dog's menu too! Will certainly return when we're next over this way.

Chips under cooked, Curry sauce pot open in bag, sauce everywhere, they blamed driver instead or their second rate plastic containers. £2.49 service charge, what service? 99p delivery charge. Ordered and paid for two picked onions at £1.25 each, they only delivered one but charged for two. When we phoned to complain we were told they could not do anything about it now, you could tell they were not that interested. They said we could have 50% off the next order, what makes them think there will be another order. Paid by paypal so they could have offered a part refund, but they didn't want to do that. Going to try and get paypal to claw back the payment and then pay them an amount that better fits the food and service we received. Its sad when you are simply a number and the poor service you received means nothing to them, they just move on to the next customer. Not good enough, I serve the public and would never dream of leaving one of my customers unhappy...
