Reviews in Essex

Food was very standard some of the food was very dry, some salty and flavourless one of the members of staff was very rude when my children spilt a small amount of chocolate she came over and raised her voice and then continued staring at the us for the rest of the evening the desserts were not the best chocolate éclairs had something yellow in that had a lumpy texture and the chocolate gateau was extremely dry and rock hard was very disappointing after years of not going we thought it would be a nice family outing but left rather disappointed

Had a fantastic Meal . The best prawn cocktail Ive ever had , every course was beautifully presented . Exceptional value as 2 for 1 offer but even without that we would be impressed. Nice decor and ambience and the staff were very attentive We will definitely return with friends

Excellent food & service

Food was good as usual, although replaced items in Buddha Bowl not as delicious as usual. Service to clear table wasn't great, we waited for about 15mins and we left before it was cleared deciding to forgo dessert and coffee, but that may have been due to restaurant being very full.

The restaurant is pleasant staff friendly good choice of food and good quality.

Was a lovely meal and nice atmosphere that was atleast until one of the servers started pushing tables and chairs next to us which makes for an unpleasant background noise and to then be greeted by the smell of floor cleaner which didn't make things more positive

We have been here many times for lunch over the years. I had a sandwich which I feel is very over priced for what you get the side salad it just lettuce leafs surely if you going to charge so much at least do a side salad a few crisps or coleslaw would be nice

Always love breakfast here and they didn’t disappoint on Saturday. Going back on Thursday! Thanks to all the team there.

Nice place to visit, be that fir Breakfast, lunch or afternoon tea.

The food was amazing as always, so much choice to we are around the world will be coming back

Another fabulous meal at The Blue Anchor! We love this pub/restaurant. Menu varied and staff lovely. Thanks

Good service, good food, great evening

Only accepts cash and nobody tells you when you book.

Absolutely blown away by this restaurant! I came with my partner as we're both trying out the vegan lifestyle and we were both incredibly pleased. The restaurant is small but cosy and quirky, with board games available to play. The food is delicious, and the corn on the cob is hands down the best I've ever had in my life! My partner does not like sweetcorn and usually treats it like arsenic but he actually gave it a try and loved it! The flavours are incredible! The drinks are also delicious and serve some of the best cocktails I've tasted too. The staff are chatty and friendly and the whole experience and atmosphere in general was excellent. Cannot recommend enough and I will most definitely be going again!

It thought the restaurant was a lovely place. It is one of my favourite places to eat and dine out. However I thought the tables were a bit close together you could not move or let anyone pass. Also the price keeps on going up and up. When I first went to the restaurant it was only £15.99 then it was £18.99 then it was £19.99 and now it has gone up even more to £21.99. The reason I love this restaurant is because it was cheap and cheerful for a great night out and you ate your moneys worth. But now as the price is so high you don’t eat your moneys worth unfortunately. Finally you could not hear yourselves think it was so loud in there because there are so many tables close together you could hear everyone else’s conversation but your own. But it is still one of my favourite places to eat.

Love coming here. Tend to visit most weeks. Food well presented, tasty and good value. Beautiful cafe and outside seating.

Lovely breakfast outdoors. Always a pleasant experience. Prices have increased since our last visit. Portions are generous though but over £30 a couple for breakfast is questionable.

Excellent veggie breakfast as always and the pistachio and raspberry cake is simply wonderful . Really enjoyed it all along with the lovely service .
