The best restaurants in Rochford East of England

The wrong order was delivered. I handed it back and was promised it would be corrected but it never arrived. My money was not refunded.

Nice dog friendly store with all the usual Costa goodies

We had a really good night here on Saturday. The atmosphere is great when a DJ is in. It wasn’t overly crowded but the dance floor was busy and the music suited everyone’s taste. The only slight complaint was that drinks were quite expensive outside of happy hour, so load up on the 2 for £14 cocktails before 10pm! 🍸 Also, I can’t comment on cost of entry as we got there at around 9pm when it was free.

We have just eaten what will be our last ever take away from Fresh Oriental. Food was an hour and fifty minutes late. We ordered rice and chicken curry amongst other dishes. When it finally arrived, we were short of the curry to go with the rice, and were told we didn't order the curry. Food was poor, the whole experience was extremely disappointing.

Spent an hour sitting waiting in their reception, only had a very small order, someone walked in 40 minutes after me and requested theirs ASAP and pushed him up the order and received it 5-10 minutes later, received the food FINALLY and was luke warm, will not be returning, a shame really

food cold. chicken balls pink. person on phone didn't care! AVOID! and now avoiding refund as was unable to return items as already in the bin

After many years of amateur, incompetent and unfortunate landlords, crushed by a greedy and unbending national pub chain, this failed village pub has finally closed down. It's now shuttered-up, awaiting redevelopment.

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.

Boneless basket was tasty but I dropped piece of chicken on the floor - table 55

We visited the Shorehouse for lunch on a Monday and it was the first time we had been for a few years. They have updated the internal design and everything felt fresh and clean, the salad bar was a little more spacious than before. The staff were really friendly and capable. Quick to say hello and take our order. We had Charlotte who did a great job and made us feel welcome and comfortable. The food was good and the portions were a decent size. Broad menu with options for kids, adults, meat eaters and vegans. The only shortfall for me was probably the salad bar which was fine but always a little messy with everyone before you having dropped and dripped sauces and dressings everywhere. Still, it was fresh and fine for what you pay. Overall a nice cheerful lunch and we would pop back another time.

very good santa claus very nice and efficient food, the santa was really kind to my child and the drinks were immaculate would reccomend to any familys

Food and service was extremely poor. Had to ask when the main meal was coming as we had waited such a long time. When the food arrived it was poor. My granddaughters Lasagna tasted strange, she did not eat it and I had to send my salad back, it was swimming in oil. Offered another option but when asked how long it would take told the other customers would have to be served first…..? So two hours later I left the restaurant without anything to eat. Will never go back.

Terrible service....one till open to order so queued for 25 minutes to order food and then another 45 minute wait for food but was not advised of the waits when they sat us down and nobody seem to care that we had to wait so long....it was bank holiday however the place was not full !!

Actually have the cheek to charge £5 for entry!!! Like REALLY!!! It was awful…terribly outdated music, no atmosphere. Don’t waste your time or money.

Attended here one Saturday evening with family. Nicely decorated restaurant and the food was nice, although, yes, the portion size a were on the smaller side, salad doesn’t really cost that much. Service was very slow, only managed 1 round of drinks, no offer of dessert either. Bread was microwaved as it went hard after a few minutes. I asked to pay for gratuity/service by card to which I was told they can’t do it, only restaurant I have ever known that won’t take service/tip by card. I don’t carry cash so couldn’t leave a tip. Which resulted in me getting accosted by a different waiter as we left and abruptly asked if everything was ok, he then rushed over to the table. I can only assume he was aggrieved that we couldn’t leave a cash tip. Not that the service really warranted it. But the passive/aggressive approach is not on. I eat out a lot and always tip via card. I won’t be returning.
