1. Pieno Lleno

AU$22Latin American

TheForkUserThe food was delicious and the staff provided great service. We were not keen on the new sections where we were sat. It is too high and you feel too shut off from the rest of the restaurant.

2. Galvin Green Man

AU$31Reservation AvailableWestern-style

TheForkUserThe food was exceptional, especially the main courses. I opted for chicken and my wife had sea bream - both were delicious and so well cooked. Garlic potatoes as a side dish is a must.All the staff were very attentive and professional

3. Toby Carvery

AU$11Reservation AvailableBars/Bistros

TheForkUserAs with any Buffett type restaurant there are good and bad things. But that said you know what you’re signing up for when you go there. So queuing for your dinner is a given. The staff were lovely, food hot and plentiful and had a money off coupon too plus earned Yums - all in all a good night.

4. The Angel

AU$17Reservation AvailableBars/BistrosOpen Late

TheForkUserMy daughter is a regular customer at The Angel and she recommended the food here is really good, and the atmosphere was chilled and the service was prompt and attentive. We will definitely be returning to enjoy the experience again soon.

5. Shaw Farm

AU$27Reservation AvailableBars/Bistros

TheForkUserI love this little place it’s a traditional country inn style really nice setting and surroundings staff are always professional and friendly and the estates always clean and tidy ……plus the food is great ….would recommend ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

6. Toby Carvery

AU$16Bars/Bistros

TheForkUserThe food and service were excellent. Just wish the plates and food were hotter. I've said this before and I accept that it cannot be perfect, but it would be great if both the plates and the food could be hotter.

7. Samphire Restaurant @ The County Hotel

AU$24Reservation AvailableAsian Cuisine

TheForkUserThe staff were super efficient and friendly and the rooms were clean and comfortable Icing on the cake? The meal in the restaurant was superb, compliments to the chef. We would definitely come again.

8. The Rayleigh Weir

AU$21Bars/BistrosOpen Late

TheForkUserFood lovely and the service. Can I just add that I was disappointed as we couldn't use our "Blue Light card" today seeing as it was the weekend. My sister works for the NHS... Everything else perfect...

9. Toby Carvery Southend

AU$13Reservation AvailableBars/Bistros

TheForkUserThe young lady who served us was very helpful and friendly, the food was delicious, the only downfall was the tables were left with dirty plates and surroundings but that may have been due to staff shortages but on the whole a lovely meal
