TheForkUserLovely food and my sever was very friendly not too noisy either bought kids desserts and a adults but they were the same size and different in price only thing I would change is better signage would have been nice as only 1 sign near the entrance and not the car park it’s self as as didn’t say anything about pay and display on website and after having to download the app to pay and display only to be told in the restaurant after I asked that u get 3 hours free when dining

TheForkUserIt was my Grandson's First Birthday - we had been eating sausage Rolls and sandwiches all day but by the evening needed a proper meal !! We read reviews and it sounded good so we gave it a try. We are not local so it was our first time. We have been to various carveries before but I have to say your food was the best I had eaten at this type of Restaurant. All the meat was tender and moist and the roast potatoes in beef fat were the best ever. In fact all the vegetables were lovely. we agreed that on our next visit to Southend we would take my daughter, her husband and our Grandson for a treat. The atmosphere was cosy and the staff were all friendly and helpful.In particular our waitress Mandy was really friendly and funny. It really made a difference to our visit. we will recommend and be back next time we are in the area.

TheForkUserI have been here with parents, children, the kids chums, my mates and a lady or five. This was for my 60th with the eldest, her Man and a lady chum of mine. The waiting staff were effective and courteous the foid was good and got to have a Dad chat this is the first time since my last parent passed a way so a comfortable and warm place. The walk in Dedham was very chilly a lunch to remember.
