The best restaurants in Thurrock East of England

The breakfast is superb as is the coffee, forget Costa, get your coffee here instead. I had a bacon baguette and it was well priced and very nice indeed. However, what makes Cafe Giardino stand out is the amazing service delivery of the staff, they are so very welcoming and friendly. Well done.

The ship pub has a special place in my heart! It is a family run pub with a very welcoming atmosphere. Every weekend there is unreal entertainment as well as mid week quizzes. The food is always outstanding and I honestly will not go anywhere else for a drink.

1st time I have tried sainsys and was not disappointed, the pies are huge and filled to bursting point, mash was lovely and so was the liquor. Ordered and collected couldn't find a parking space so it was brought out to my car thank you for that. Will defiantly be going back for more. Didn't have time to take photos, it was demolished as soon as it was on the plate lol

We was the only ones there on a sunny afternoon in August!, empty, dark & uninviting & stuck in the corner of the restaurant. Just 8 finger sandwiches & 2 tea plates of the same cakes that was obvious ready for the wedding that day, no scones, tarts, sausage rolls etc & given 2 white MUGS to help ourselves from the vending machine, then left alone, we had to ask them back as vending machine not working, no tea pot etc. Definitely not enough staff & definitely not worth £31!! How they call it an afternoon tea!. . I refused to pay. Thankfully we was at a wonderful event there in the evening - food not supplied by them!.

This was our second and last time going to Chicktopia. The first time was just after they opened and there were some service issues, but the food was good and so I forgave the teething problems. I regret my forgiveness. Today we ordered from the machines, which were clearly malfunctioning, but with no explanation we ploughed on. The only person serving (remember this was a busy Saturday lunchtime!) was young and certainly not well-trained in dealing with the public. When the machines failed to register our order (and everyone else ordering at the same time) he resorted to taking a photo of the order and taking that through to the kitchen. All this without a word to us, let alone an apology. We waited over 20 minutes for the food, with more and more people gathering behind us. In all this time no staff offered any welcome to people arriving or apologies to those waiting. When I asked the 'manager' what was going on and asked him to explain things to us he just said 'it's all fine now'. I understand a computer malfunction, I do not understand the lack of communication. I had plenty of time to write an email of complaint to the company as none of the staff were talking to me. When we finally got the order it was missing the sandwich. I felt so frustrated. When I went back to query it I had to wait another 15 minutes. Again no apology, no explanation. Since coming home and reading the previous reviews I have realised we didn't receive our sides (Texas toast and Louisiana biscuit). It's such a pity - the food is decent, but the staff are so poorly trained. There is no way I could recommend it, or return myself.

Ordered 1 pizza on the phone and it came to £30, I questioned this price and the arrogant staff member told me it's normally £11.99 but I ordered it via the phone. That's a £20 increase ( what a complete joke ) she wouldn't refund me and now I've has to waste 3 hours of my chasing the head office. Go somewhere else.

Great battered sausage but the chips in the chip roll were awful, rock hard, dry & tasted funny, not going back there again 😬

Got a takeaway from here last night , what a disappointment , cold bbq spare ribs with no meat , s/s chicken balls were off you could smell the eggs were off in the thick soggy batter. Thought it might be nice to try a different takeaway and wished I hadn’t bothered , I will not be returning!!!!!

They delivered to the wrong address when told they shouted at me and said there was nothing they can do about it had to sort it myself the food was inedible and cold by the time it was sorted will never use them again only giving a star because I have to

This is the best Chinese takeaway we have nearby and the food is always amazing. Only annoyance is having to wait to get through but I appreciate everyone locally wants to get an excellent takeaway x

Our default Indian takeaway, reliably good . Used only one other Curry house in the last 18 months. And good value too !

I was extremely impressed by the warm atmosphere and the friendly customer service of this restaurant. What topped it was the well cooked food and I am so pleased the Jerk chicken was well seasoned!!

Honestly, I know that Grays beach has been going seriously down hill since the new owner over the last couple of years but today I can and I was shocked at the state of it. Filthy, scruffy and completely unkept. Truly disappointing, this was without the state of the overpriced cafe.

Absolutely gutted £45 worth of food down the drain was cold tasted disgusting and worse of all wasn’t even cooked properly first and last time I use these.

How can you as a pizza take away run out of pizza dough?! Then u call to ask for alternative option.. which I gave (burger, chips) they confirmed it will be sorted. 40 mins later u bring the food and it was the wrong order and you bring me cold wings and cold chicken pcs which was obviously not what I ordered.. no chips small amount of food and the price did not match at all... RIP OFF!!! so I called them up and the manager was soo arrogant and rude towards me saying this is the order. The pizza was more money then the wings.. obviously! He wouldn't give me a refund or come to an agreement! Instead he tells me the only thing he can do is take the food.. no refund or give me something else instead! FOOD WENT IN THE BIN!! the workers are Very abusive and disgusting behaviour from all 3 workers passing phone over to one another!!! Bad customer service.. no people skills.. no apology! They take customers for fools and they do not put customers first!! Bad business!!! And SCAMS!!!! would never recommend this place.
