A table became available and they sat someone else there, despite knowing my fiance was waiting, ok easy mistake? She approached the waitress who started being real sarcy and with a real attitudeand proceeded to tell the family who sat at the table, oh the woman over there wants you to leave this table as she wants it. Then the waiter says to her "any normal person would sit inside" like what the hell.... Who says that!?? My fiance asked to talk to a manager and they both responded with we are all managers. Rude, lying and disgusting people. Laughing in her face.

I want to start by congratulating the staff. They were smiley, apologetic and helpful but it was…read moreimpossible to provide a pleasant experience in that huge space with terrible accoustics and unbelievable noise levels. We went for their Sunday special, 2 courses and jazz for £19.50 a head I'd been to the boatyard when it was new and it was incredible. Was revisiting the area and suggested to friends going there for a chilled lunch and a catch up. We couldn't hear ourselves speak even without the music. My ears hurt, really, I wanted to leave but didn't want to be fude so between eating, I pressed my ears shut , it ewas the only way I could cancel out some of the noise and pick up my friend in front of me! I did a decibel check . The resting rate was 75, anything over 70 is too loud! When the jazz was playing, everyone had to raise their voices. The average decibel level went to 85 peaking regularly at 89. I hate to complain about noise because I love loud music and gigs and parties. But the sound quality was the problem . I'm convinces there are no accoustic panels in there and they are desperately needed. Plus 3 days on and my ears are still not right I have had to book an appointment to see my doctor The food was ok. Looked fabulous. Plenty of it. The soup was so thick it was almost pate! You took a spoonful out and it left a dent!!! I definitely wont ever go back . it was the most stressful eating experience I've ever had.

Good Italian, pizza / pasta, airing on the pizza express side of things, however this has more of a…read moreunique twist on the food (fresh tasting ingredients, less of a factory model) with nice variation of cheeses and toppings (beetroot and balsamic reduction, courgette and garlic). They have a small but reasonable selection of wine, although don't always expect the server to know much about them (they all seem very young, or maybe I'm old now), "dry white" was the description for the house white and when asked if know the grapes or how it taste, "nop it's just dry I dont know anything about the wine", however saying this if I was really fussed (which I wasn't and changed to a red by then), I could have asked to try it This is a place where you need to go when your v hungary and not on a diet to fit in the full 1st, 2nd and 3rds - the experience won't dissapoint. The Rosemary bread as a starter is to die for and the vanilla gelato with expresso shot - well what's not to like, simple sweet and bitter (although also know the chocolate desserts are also worth a try - assuming you have room left) Oh and a couple more logistic points, it has a good atmosphere, they have this one (busy / trending(ish) area of leigh, essex) and another location in rayleigh Essex (this is quieter but building is a lot more impressive)

After a refreshing walk along the Thames Estuary at Leigh On Sea we stopped by Sara's Tea Garden…read more The garden is a lovely place to have tea or coffee - if the sun shines! But there is also a small covered area. The place was busy but we were served quickly and the staff were friendly and helpful. The homemade cakes were delicious. We both opted for iced tea-cakes - just like mum used to make! Well worth a visit.

In my opinion, this is one of the best indian restaurants in leigh on sea. The food is extremely…read moretasty and consistently good, even if ordered as a takeaway. The restaurant itself is a bit dated and drab but it doesn't detract from the quality of the food. I would rather the food outshine the surroundings than the other way around (like another indian restaurant in the area). The prices are very reasonable indeed and if there was one criticism it would be that the service, although fast and efficient, is not particularly friendly considering also that they know us from previous visits. But we still go back!

It cost 60 pound for the one dish but was definitely sharing size and consisted among other things of... lobster, whelks, cockles, prawns, shrimp, mussels, clams, smoked salmon, crab meat, pate, bread and a lot more. It was fresh heaven served in a former cockle-shed right by the boats. I'll let the photos I've uploaded tell the rest. The food was certainly worth the travel to this nice corner of Essex and Simply Seafood will get our visit once again for sure. Nice location, staff and ambiance and great mounds of seafood all round!

This is a great Thai restaurant in the heart of Leigh…read more The restaurant is small, tastefully decorated and the service is good. The food is always great and the set menus are really good value. The restaurant doesn't lend itself to large groups, but for a quiet dinner with a friend or partner I would highly recommend it. They also do take away.

Portions are enormous, which helps to make up for the fact it's not cheap! Highlights for me include the refreshing soup with zesty lemongrass, and the tempura vegetables.
