I have used a number off KFC Restaurant in my local area but when I was last in a his restaurant I…read moreplaced a order for the family that come to over £20 and went to ask for BBQ sauce and was told I would have to pay for it! I've never heard if this in any other restaurants since! And another time I went in to order they got my order wrong! How hard can this be??? Now I try not to use this restaurant to eat at.

This KFC is located in the Mayflower Retail Park so is good if you fancy some fast food either…read morebefore, after or during shopping. This KFC is always quite busy being located where it is however the staff serve you very quickly and always with a smile which makes a difference as some fast food places you go into the staff are really grumpy! Usual fayre in here, must say I love the barbecue beans. We usually opt for a bucket when we go here as it's such good value. Also good value are the combo style meals where you get chicken, fries, side and a drink for the same price as a usual meal.

There is an upstairs which is often dedicated to Children's parties - which I enjoyed regularly when i was at junior school. The food has always been satisfactory. They sell the standard burgers and chips that come straight out of the fryer nothing too impressive but you know what to expect when you visit McDonalds. If you like McDoalds then you will like this restaurant, but Saturday at any time makes it incredibly difficult to sit and enjoy lunch as everyone is watching you and waiting for you to even think about moving so they can ask if they can have your table. This doesn't exactly make for a pleasant eating experience!

This is one of the busier branches of McDonald's as it is located right in the centre of Basildon…read more I really am not a big fan of their burgers. I think you can get a much tastier burger at kebab shops which cook them on the barbecue. McDonald's biggest rival Burger King also do a better job at cooking burgers. And filet of fish? No thanks. Chicken sandwich? Better choice at KFC. Sandwiches? I would rather go to Subway to be honest. So I do not see any particular reason to visit McDonald's when you can get better food elsewhere. I do like the chips here though again I would rather get the big fat ones from the chippy. Sorry McDoanld's, I'm just not a fan.

This sandwich bar is very conveniently located in the centre of Basildon…read more I work nearby and we regularly all ordered sandwiches from Jersey Joes that are delivered to our office at the exact time that we request them for. This has resulted in us ordering from them whenever there is a birthday or celebration. Some of the fillings are a bit too creamy, but often if you ask for a filling to be left out they are happy to accommodate. As well as sandwiches they also offer very tasty salads. The portions are large and I don't think I have ever managed to finish anything I have ordered despite wanting to!

This place is a brillant find, its next to the town square post office. I used to work at a near by…read moreschool and place an order for Jerseys Joes for delivery. Their sandwiches are made from hand sliced white and brown bread. A large selection of fillings available. I'm quite boring with my sandwiches, stick to what I know I like. Excellent if you like to try new tastes. They also stock drinks, fruit, crisps and chocolate.

I've not had pie & mash for a very long time, so I had to visit this place. I managed to get the…read morelast pie they had, as I think they were about to close. The service was fast and efficient and the staff were friendly. The food was excellent and it went down a treat. They have a range of choices, from 1 pie & 1 mash, 1 pie & 2 mash, 2 pies & 1 mash, 2 pies & 2 mash. I think you get the idea. They also do pre-packed pie & mash, for you to take home and cook yourself, when I say, cook yourself I don't mean you get in the oven. The place is very bright & clean with mainly white tiles around the walls. Pay a visit when you are in the area, I'm sure you will love it.

So I came across Mangetout on instagram a few months ago and was impressed with how the food…read morelooked. After reading the reviews and hearing about it some more, We decided to make a day trip if it from London to Southend-on-Sea and see if the food lived up to the hype. Oh boy, the pictures don't do the food justice. Firstly, this is one of the very few places where the food actually looks like the picture!! So my hubby ordered the rib tips for a starter, daughter had the shrimp starter and I had the brisket end starter. We were bowled over by how delicious the starters were. The shrimp was crispy and just plain gorgeous, we've never tasted better, honestly. Just he shrimp alone made the trip worth it. The rib tips and brisket ends were also amazing. So yummy. For our mains, were we glad we'd starved before coming! Hubby had the manwich, massive sandwiches, never seen bigger honestly and he said they were sooo good. Sandwiches came with chips and coleslaw and he demolished the lot to the shock of the waiter lol. My daughter had hickory smoked ribs and that came with corn on the cob, salad, coleslaw and chips. The meat off the rib just literally fell off the bone. It was so delicious and so full of flavour that even she managed to eat most of it. I had the Almighty burger...there are just no words to describe the awesomeness of this beast. It also came with chips and slaw and it was fantastic I ate it all. The portions here are HUGE and we didn't need to eat anything else all day... Apart from dessert coz honestly we'd come all the way, why not have dessert hey? The dessert was amazing, everything was amazing. We were so full at the end, thank God the restaurant is right by the sea and pier so we had a long walk site seeing to get the food down before going back home. We are certainly returning to taste all the other stuff on the menu! YUMMY!!!!!! Service was really good and the music and drinks were excellent

Ive been here twice. First time was good, but very slow service. Steak was good, not great value…read more Prawn entrée was above average. 2nd time again service was slow even though I pre-ordered. As it took so long I then asked for it to be takeaway...They then charged service...Not sure what for. Mama's ribs coating was too thick and to be honest not very nice. Perhaps they messed up the recipe? Meat itself was very good, but I struggled to remove as much of the coating as possible. Sweetcorn overcooked. Staff seemed ingenuine...Atmosphere is pretty good, but pretty poor value and food is hit and miss. The place across the road is the opposite. Humble, delicious and well priced.
