The Lion and Lamb pub restaurant review, Little Canfield, Dunmow, Essex

Lion and Lamb pub restaurant Little Canfield Essex

One would like to hope that the meal and service we had at this pub/restaurant, was a one off disaster, but I don’t think we will be back to find out I am afraid.

Having been recommended this restaurant for quality food and a relaxed atmosphere, we stopped [...]

Toby Carvery restaurant, Southend and Wickford Essex restaurant review

When looking for a Carvery, as far as I am concerned, the Toby carvery is the best. Over the years, I have been to more than I would like to remember, including in the area, the Rayleigh Lodge and Halfway House in Southend on Sea, but the Toby is the best. They offer restaurants with [...]

Table Table, Southend restaurant review, Southend on Sea, Essex

I have been to a few ‘Table Table’ based on this one at Southend on Sea, but none are as good as this one. Generally, when you find a chain restaurant, they are about the same wherever you go, but this one is particularly good. The staff are really friendly and cannot do enough to [...]

The Coast Inn restaurant, Mersea Island, Essex restaurant review

On one of my ‘days out in Essex’ photographing the local areas, we decided to visit Mersea Island, as I had never been there before, and we had heard about the Coast Inn. Luckily for us, it was a beautiful sunny day, and we could sit outside with the view to the water and enjoyed [...]
