The best restaurants serving Pizza pasta food in West Thurrock and South Stifford Thurrock East of England

Popped in for lunch today and left feeling disappointed and frustrated. After being seated while it was fairly quiet at around 11:30, we were served drinks and our starter within a reasonable time - however, it then took 40 minutes + after the starter for our mains to arrive, only to arrive cold and either burnt or undercooked. Two of our party only ordered starters as mains (which was clearly identified when ordering) so for two pasta dishes and a few starters to take so long and be unpleasant and somewhat inedible seems ludicrous. Especially as the restaurant filled up and others around us receiving starters and mains before us, while having arrived after we ordered? Staff were unhelpful and seemingly forgot about us, with no apologies made at any point. Never had an issue with Pizza Express before, so it must be a location issue, would not recommend to anyone.

Went here on a quiet Thursday evening. Received a very warm welcome from the manager who was friendly and chatty. We ordered one of the meal deals and it all arrived hot and tasty. Salad bar was well stocked. Waitress was efficient. We like ordering online in restaurants these days, it's quick and easy. However the only downfall with this is that at the time of ordering you're asked if you want to leave a tip. At this point you don't know if you want to leave one or not! We didn't have any cash with us so we left without tipping which was a real shame because they deserved one!

Disgusting, Cutlery dirty, plates dirty, hair in food. Ask for table To be cleaned and staff wasn’t impressed Staff just chat don’t ask if you’re ok. Place was filthy. Walked Out. Made us feel sick!!!! 🤢

I am still in shock regarding what happened at capital kebab today. We went to the window to order and said “hi you okay” to the man cutting the kebab and he said “NO IM NOT” we thought he was joking and asked again and he started muttering telling us to “go the F*** away” I was flabbergasted. He then carried on swearing and then branded his kebab knife up and down in a threatening manner where we then asked if he had a problem, and he came up to the window aggressive and argumentative which then made us defensive, we literally had no idea what on earth we had done, then he got his phone out and told us to hold on acting like he was going to call someone to what? Come and hurt us? What a joke. I don’t know who this employer is, haven’t seen him there before but you need to get rid of him asap before either police gets involved or he hurts a customer. He got back what he tried to give with force from me as no one has the right to speak to anyone the way he did. We literally came there from the jubilee celebrations, all happy and chirpy until we came across his mug. Absolutely disgusting human. I should add the other young guy was apologetic and offered our food for free but we still paid. For reference, he is short in stature, small eyes and has stubble. BEWARE IF HE IS THERE, IT LOOKED LIKE HE WANTED TO USE THAT KEBAB KNIFE.
