Went in quite late for dinner & Byron immediately came to our table to take our drinks orders. We were quite hungry and our starters of scotch egg & marmite butter roast potatoes came out quickly & definitely hit the spot! We both had the pie for our mains….Chef’s kiss 🤌 Byron was very hospitable & checked back that all was ok. I live very near by & pop in for a drink or Sunday lunch (which is the best in Southend I might add) but have never eaten here mid week & I was very happy with the last minute choice! Well done chef & well done Byron.

Oh boy, what an institution. The best fish and chips that I still remember from going to Southend in the 60's aged about 9 or 10 with my parents, I'm in my 60's now ! Though that was the original Bailey's fare. Went again quite recently, to find business had been sold. The food is still very good, but not as good as with the original owners.

After having a brilliant day trip to Southend I looked for a fish and chip shop to eat in before heading home. I usually call in at any of the fish and chip shops along the opposite side of the promenade but this place looked very cool and welcoming from the hot sun. I should have had second thoughts when the staff were clueless about the food on the menu. The order was eventually taken and we took a seat and waited for the food to be brought over. When it arrived it was in a cardboard box and only wooden cutlery was available. The fish was OK the chips were tasteless. My grandson's chicken was so overcooked it snapped the fork. He tried to eat it with his fingers but it was inedible. The toilet (singular for the whole building) was flooded and the floor covered in wet paper. When we told the staff they said "We know". The entire staff were just teenagers with nobody mature to guide them regarding customer service or basic hygiene. This experience spoiled an otherwise perfect day.

Ordered a chicken curry which was well prepared if not slightly salty. Tons of flavour and portion sizes were generous. I still can’t work out what type of curry it was but none the less tasted good. Service however offers the biggest area of improvement. It took well over 2.5hrs for my food to arrive and I could hear the chef shouting expletives from the kitchen. I wanted to order some tap water with my meal but in the end didn’t bother as I thought I’d be verbally abused. The menu itself is quite random. I can’t quite understand the cuisine on offer as it seems to be a bit if everything. I’m hoping this will improve once the venue finds its feet.
