The best restaurants serving British food in Milton Southend-on-Sea East of England

Was here Saturday 5th October great food and staff the place is clean. And at a very good price I will be back .

Great Food Just one illegal thing to mention to the owner Item on menu and receipt Donuts £1.50 It's plural meaning two or more donuts you are purchasing. I asked the waitress how many donuts do you get and to my shock she said one. I said that's not right as it doesn't state one donut implying a customer is buying one. It says Donuts. Out of curiosity I thought maybe the menus wrong, I purchased item anyway and even on the receipt it says Donuts £1.50 even though you only get one donut. Please for the manager, under both Trading Standards and The Trades Description Act, the item in question must be listed correctly as: One Donut £1.50. Then you're all legal and not misleading customers. Other than that the staff were nice polite and surprisingly the Vegetarian Burger is the best vegetarian burger I've ever tasted so hats off to the chef 😀

We have been going here for years. Went last week and roasts were £14 up from £12 a couple of months ago. Just gone in today and they have put on a Christmas menu…….. roasts today were £17 !!!!!!! Disgusting Went to Dinos further along and had a reasonable priced meal.

You will not be disappointed with the portions of food. Great place to stop after a sea front walk

It's a Weatherspoons, what else.

Attended lunch time , I had steak and ale pie with chips , wife had skate wing and chips . Meals arrived quickly were hot and tasty. Meals were also reasonably priced .Staff were attentive and venue deserves a five star rating.

Please would you consider opening a Rossi's in Norwich. I'm from Essex and miss you. Even Asda here has stopped selling it...why x

Firstly our waitress was really friendly and took time to explain what gluten free options were on the menu for my friend. Despite being busy the service was good. The food was ok, but nothing special. There is a good choice of food on the menu. It is definitely worth going here before a show at the Cliffs Pavilion but do book as it’s very popular.

We went for an early lunch and was seated and given menus quickly. Between us, we ordered an omelette, chicken sandwich, a kids meal of sausage and chips, and a bowl of chips. We waited about 45 minutes for our meal, given that there weren't many people seated, thought this was quite a long wait. When we got our meals, we were very surprised the kids meal literally had one sausage, and a few chips (I think this was about £7 or £8) The chicken sandwich was cheap bread and minimal salad garnish. The omelette was nice, although I had to share with my grandson as he was still hungry!!! Don't think this is one I would come back to.

Appalling The rudest staff I have ever met Don't do the job if you don't enjoy it Management needs to address the waitresses...bitter, rude, aggressive

Our office Christmas party night at Ravens was a fantastic night. The service was very friendly and I can honestly say that this was the best food of all the work Christmas parties attended over the years. Thanks to all of the Ravens team for making this a night to remember. We hope to be back next year!

Sands by the Sea is a standout dining destination in Southend-on-Sea. The staff are exceptionally friendly, and Kristine, the manager, went above and beyond by offering us a complimentary calamari tasting, a thoughtful gesture after a disappointing experience at a nearby restaurant. The food is outstanding, with the fish being particularly fresh and expertly prepared. This restaurant is a must-visit for anyone in the area. For excellent service, a welcoming atmosphere, and delicious cuisine, Sands by the Sea is highly recommended.

Excellent service. The cod and chips were lovely and tasty.

Wonderful wonderful lunch. Wonderful waitress and chef. Highly recommended. They went above and beyond in helping our very elderly father who we could not have got in the car without them. Amazing.

awful kebab, was in a cheap tortilla wrap covered in cheap sauce,meat was poor quality salad was no better than meal deal box lettuce
