Places you've eaten.

[Mad Cyril]

Wok and grill, Southend.

5/10.

Not great.

 

[TrueBlue]

Jades Garden Southchurch Road

8/10

 

[Uncle Leo]

The Exchange, Southchurch Road.

7/10 for my burger, but my sister and her husband both had pies and it would be 2/10 for those.

 

[MK Shrimper]

Le Gavroche. 12/10

Extra point as Michel Roux Jnr shook my hand and signed a cook book.

 

[OldBlueLady]

Debenhams breakfast - 3/10 - food was cold and the bacon fatty.

I hate rubbish pies.

 

[Uncle Leo]

I hate rubbish pies.

'Driest thing I've ever tasted' was the verdict from my sister. In fairness, the manager was very apologetic and didn't charge us for those two meals.

 

[Bielzibubz]

The Chelmer Carvery, Chelmsford.

9/10 purely because of the price. Because we waited 20 minutes for a table we got our meals for a £5 each. All you can eat carvery for a fiver, what more do I have to say :D Food was damn good too.

Miller & Carter, Eastwood.

7/10 - Excellent food, if a tad on the expensive side.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Debenhams breakfast - 3/10 - food was cold and the bacon fatty.

I bet it wasn't cheap either.

Jades Garden Southchurch Road

8/10

Id give Jades Garden a 9. Great service & friendly staff too.
A much needed SUFC buffet needed again soon.

 

[steveo]

Panchos Cantina in Rayleigh wasnt bad last weekend. 7/10

The Lodge Rettendon - carvery, a la carte menu and stuff on the boards. They over complicate it with too much stuff. 5/10

 

[Mad Cyril]

The Hawk, Battlesbridge.

6/10

Bog standard pub grub at premium prices.

 

[OldBlueLady]

I bet it wasn't cheap either.

Not too bad price wise, they offer a number of choices whereby you can select 4, 6 or 10 items. Food quality is good, apparently 1 mushroom is a "portion" and the fried slice was so crisp it shattered when you tried to cut it! It was the bacon, mushroom and the beans that were cool temperature wise, the rest wasn't too bad.

When did beans become a staple of the great British breakfast? Disgusting.:sick:

When have baked beans not been part of the great British breakfast?

(Or indeed dinner for the kids whenever it's my turn to cook)

The Hawk, Battlesbridge.

I like the Hawk, but you're right, it's not cheap!

Certainly weren't back in the 60's or early 70's.

 

[Holy Joe]

Carpenters Arms - Rawreth. 8/10 (recently been done up). Better than The Hawk in Battlesbridge which imho has really gone downhill the last past few years.

 

[Gremlin]

Always. Beans have no place on a breakfast plate.

 

[Uncle Leo]

Always. Beans have no place on a breakfast plate.

As long as there is distance between the egg and beans - perhaps using the sausage as a breakwater - you're fine.
