The best restaurants in Ashingdon and Canewdon Rochford East of England

Best restaurant fish and chips ever

We come to this fabulous garden centre today.Lovely displays and good prices. The santa Claus was absolutely brilliant. Easily the most professional and caring one we have ever seen.

Fantastic food slow service great pub

Lovely village pub with local ales and beer garden. Plenty of parking spaces for visitors. Very friendly helpful staff.

Just had a really nice Sunday lunch. The staff are a happy and helpful team and the food was fresh hot and plentiful what more could you ask. By far the best Sunday roast in the area. Thanks we’re already planning our next visit.

Friendly and fast service. Delicious food. Very dog friendly. Lovely old pub and we thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Nice atmosphere. Will definitely make return visits. Many thanks.

Always good food and service, went for Burns night had a great meal at a very exceptable price ,

Stopped here for a welcome drink and break while out on a local summer walk, and for lunch on the way back. Nice decor inside, clean, friendly staff, good service. Had tasty chicken/bacon and fish finger sandwiches with sides- sitting outside at the back, under umbrella in the sun.

Service from Sonya was brilliant and the food was absolutely amazing, we had a really great time! Can’t wait for our next visit - thank you Sonya and team you are great!

Absolutely gorgeous place. Lovely food. Great staff but object to people standing smoking right by you while you are eating flicking ash! Has put us off going back unless you sit indoors. Shame really.

The wife and myself got two cod specials tonight 22/12 we paid £15.50 the fish was warm and soggy and so was the chips pretty rubbish dinner this chip shop is hit or miss

Last night was my second visit to The Punch Bowl and on both occasions the meal, service and atmosphere have been bloody amazing. The drive out to the pub itself takes you through some of the more rural parts of Essex. It’s remote enough to make you wonder whether you’ll actually ever arrive but close enough to surrounding towns to make it well worth the visit (just 25 minutes from where we are in Leigh). You’re greeted by the friendliest staff you could hope to meet and are immediately made to feel at home before being taken to your table and looked after the entire time. If cosy, traditional country pub is your vibe you can’t get much better and after a couple of hours sat down with friends, eating amazing food and drinking great wine it’s incredibly hard to leave. It’s worth mentioning that The Punch Bowl do NOT automatically add a service charge to their bills and they also only accept tips in cash so take some with you because you’ll be kicking yourself if you leave without rewarding the service. The waiting staff are out of this world 😊

The best Sunday Roast. Great food, great service and a cozy atmosphere. Will definitely be back! Been here a few times now, and it never disappoints.

First time visiting Plough & Sail. Went for lunch on New Years Eve and had an excellent meal. Three superb courses plus very friendly & helpful staff. Next time I am that way I will be sure to visit again. It was the best pub meal I have had in a very long time.

Ordered large chips and I must say they were the worst chips we had ever had. They were white, hard, and just about warm. You couldn't even put them between bread to disguise the look and taste. £7 in the bin for two large chips, never again.
