There is a reasonable ca park as it gets quite hard to park in the summer. I have visited for lunch and dinner and both were very nicely presented and well cooked. The skate is very tasty and the scampi and Jenga chips are good. The costs can be a little bit higher for lunch but the menu is very similar and therefore for dinner, I thought it was quite reasonable. Peter who used to be at another Billericay restaurant is the restaurant manager and as normal makes sure we get well looked after.

We were told the table was not ready yet, which was fine as we were a little early. We sat and had a drink next to the bar and were told we would be informed when the table was ready. 35 minutes later.... no one had came to tell us our table was ready yet, despite there being 5 empty tables and had watched numerous people finish and leave. When paying for our drinks and saying we were leaving, there wasn't even an apology. Thank you for spoiling my father's birthday and our afternoon. Have never felt so unwelcome. Will be telling everyone I know to avoid at all costs. Rude.

There's a huge maple tree in the 'adult only' sun terrace (its nice not having screaming kids interrupting your lunch) and from the front garden you get a lovely view of the South Downs. The food here is out of this world, I tried the pork loin the last time I was there and it was excellent (again, the views only added to the enjoyment). This establishment is in the AA pub guide so can get busy at weekends so if you're in a large group, it may be worth booking in advance.

Menu is daily, for starter's we tried Lamb cheek and tongue with rocket and also king prawns with chilli glaze.

They have a nice wine list and also have daily specials board! Deserts menu alters as per daily menu and be aware there is no mobile phone reception, which makes it more of a unique place! You forget your phone existed and dig into some tasty food!

Most weekends and sometimes in the week there are a wide range of styles to choose from, and the bands are mostly good.

The staff are friendly if not the fastest moving people available! The drink prices are fairly standard for the area, but it can seem pricey when the bands are on.
