This place is a hidden gem! Great friendly staff, amazing food and cheeky cocktails....literally the best beef wellington I’ve ever had, and I’ve tried a lot!!! We will definitely be returning. Thanks x
Another visit to this fantastic place where the atmosphere is first class, the food is first class and the service is first class... and as always I wasn't disappointed this visit either....I opted for the Chicken An Chestnut Pie Mash and Peas which I highly recommend others at the table of 8 also chose well and thoroughly enjoyed their meal... if you havnt been here you need to go .... a restaurant that has remained fabulous for many many years with a vast selection of wines and amazing staff knowledge of which wine goes with which meal to best compliment it... THANKYOU all for a great evening
This is such a traditional, atmospheric Restuarant. Our host, Fay, looked after us so well. I had the steak and kidney pie with jacket potato, fabulous! Of course I started with white port, very nice and good measure. Sawdust on the floor is a great touch. Comprehensive wine list. Would thoroughly recommend a visit to this cosy Restuarant 👍
Had an enjoyable meal here catching up with friends. Menu is not overly extensive but sufficient choice for most tastes.
The only thing I felt let down the meal was lack of included side dishes. I had one of the pies that only came with a potato choice. A friend had the fish pie and that was all she got. A small serving of vegetables with each would have made it better. Service was attentive and friendly
Great little restaurant with traditional decor. I love the sawdust on the floor, and the candle light. Food was perfect, and exactly as I remembered it from years ago. Definitely worth a visit
One of my favorite restaurants in Southend. Absolutely lovely food. Wine is superb. Wonderful atmosphere. Highly recommend.
Fantastic
Lovely atmosphere friendly cheerful staff
Excellent food and drink
Would highly recommend
Great food and service, it's like stepping back in time to the City wine bars of old without having to travel up to town. An absolute delight
Popped in to see what it was like and stayed for a glass of wine and they have a good choice. Great place to visit olde world style with sawdust on the floor. Will visit again to try out the restaurant seems like a nice choice of meals.
Absolutely beautiful food, staff faultless, extremely happy with choice of venue and food. Guys visit this place you won't be disappointed.
To all the idiots that want a.£1,000 Mel for £90 get a grip, go up to London and pay silly prices, don't be on here slagging off local businesses trying to succeed- and do you know what go and find better!!!

I can't fault this place. The best in Southend. For good food and fine wine, you will be hard pushed to beat this restaurant. Food well prepared and presented. Very helpful, polite, friendly staff. A real treat every time.
This place is such a gem, my partner and I love it! Staff were friendly and inviting - wine was fantastic! I especially like how each dish has a suggested wine pairing, it's an awesome touch!
