Simply Seafood restaurant, Leigh on Sea, Essex

We went to Simply Seafood not too many months after it opened and we followed one of the waiters from San Farie Anne, Michael, there as we enjoyed his friendliness and he was good at his job.

The restaurant was small (they have since extended it into a covered outside area) but comfortable, with smart seating. [...]

As an update in November 2010, I have to say that the food and service have both slipped in this restaurant – we didnt eat two starters between us as they were not nice and the staff didnt even ask if there was anything wrong with them!  …..

Kings fish and chips

My family and I have been going to this restaurant for many years, since it was Oldhams, because it is local to us in Benfleet. They served great fish and chips at Oldhams and it was a shame they changed. Unfortunately, since it became ‘Kings’, it has not been the same. [...]

The Bushel roast dinner Feb 08

The Bushel is a nice pub in Bury St Edmunds, and we were there for Sunday Lunch as a walk in.  The roast was a good portion of Pork and accompaniments, but I think the batter puddings and roast potatoes were from frozen.  Vegetables were [...]
