A solid family-run chippy. Fish is fresh, chips are excellent. Good value for the area. The upstairs seating is a real plus - spacious and quiet, a proper place to sit down. Makes a difference compared to other takeaway spots.

It was my Grandson&#39;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.

We come here often. The staff are always so friendly, and the booths are really comfortable for a relaxed meal.

Just popped in for a quick drink with a friend. Ordered on the app and it was at our table in minutes. Perfect for a spontaneous catch-up when you don&#39;t want a whole meal. The vibe was nice and relaxed.

Great spot for a pre-theatre meal. Service was quick and friendly, got us out in plenty of time. The steak was cooked just right, though the chips were a bit on the salty side. Would pop in again before a show.

Convenient spot if you&#39;re at the Tudor Park Marriott, just a short walk. Had the fish and chips. The batter was crisp but the chips were a bit soggy. Decent for a quick bite near the hotel.

Tried the plant-based Butter Bean Stufato. It was a proper hearty dish, really hit the spot on a chilly evening. Felt full for hours after. Good portion for the price, too.

The festive menu was lovely, but I really appreciated the fresh, seasonal ingredients in my salad. Made it feel like a healthy choice amidst the holiday indulgence.

Been coming here for years, and the food&#39;s always been spot on. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back.

Been coming here for years. It&#39;s always spotless and quiet, just how I like it. Perfect for a low-key dinner when you don&#39;t want any fuss.

Lasagna was the standout. You can tell the mince is made in-house, fresh and flavourful. The whole dish just tasted properly homemade, no shortcuts. A bit of a wait for it, but that&#39;s fine.

Max was so kind and attentive, especially with my little one. The staff here are genuinely friendly, never hovering but always there when you need them. It felt relaxed and welcoming.

The seafood risotto was decent, though the rice was a touch soft for my liking. The prawns were fine, just not the freshest I&#39;ve had. It was a pleasant enough meal overall.

The lamb biryani was the star for me. Really fragrant rice and the meat was so tender. The place itself has a cosy, homely feel which was a nice surprise.

Birthday dinner here. The tequila selection really stood out. Tried a few nice ones. Food was good too.

The fish and chips here are my go-to. The batter is light and crisp, never greasy. The chips are fluffy inside with a good crunch. It&#39;s a solid, reliable plate every single time.

Great little spot with a quirky, cosy vibe. Staff were really friendly. The food was gorgeous, can&#39;t wait to come back in summer for the outdoor bit.

The staff were really helpful with my nut allergy. The food was spot on, and the location&#39;s handy.

Family-run spot, the owner remembers my usual order. Always a friendly chat when I pop in.

The ingredients tasted so fresh, which I really appreciate. Felt comfortable dining in with their safety measures.

Stopped in for a couple drinks. The staff were really friendly, no complaints there. The fireplace area was a nice spot to relax. Noticed they have a Thai kitchen attached, which seems handy if you get hungry.

Really liked the vibe here. The seats are comfy, and the background music is just right. Feels like a proper, friendly local pub. A nice, relaxed spot for a quiet meal.

The food was flavourful and nicely presented. The wine list had some nice options to complement the rich dishes.

Popped in for a late lunch. Sat by the window watching the boats bob around. Food was decent, nothing crazy. Just a nice, easy spot to chill for a bit.

The chicken korma was pretty good, and the lamb biryani was decent too. The free mushroom soup and veg pastry were a nice touch. A solid spot for a reliable curry.

Service was quick and the staff were really friendly. They recommended a lovely local red that went perfectly with my steak. Made the whole evening feel relaxed.
