"Not the best experience. Joined for lunch and what we wanted to order was unavailable. We order a chicken toasted sandwich and ham, egg and chips. It took about 45 mins to an hour to come out. The sandwich come out first and it looked as if it had been thrown together and didn't look appetising. Had to wait another 10 minutes for the ham egg and chips to come. I still hadn't eaten the toasted hot sandwich as I wasn't given any cutlery or sauces (it was meant to come with mayo in the sandwich but it didn't and was dry I had to call another waitress over to ask for them and the other dish to come out. 5 minutes later the cutlery and sauces came, and so did the ham egg and chipa and the salt was in packets (ok fine! but then they were all empty (people had used them and put the empty pockets back in the tray . Couldn't be bothered to ask for more again. Ketchup was in a heinz bottle and as well as hellmans mayo... the ketchup defo wasn't heinz as it was watery and vinegary. I don't mind cheaper ketchup but it was more the principle of stating it was the premium stuff when it wasn't- this wouldn't be any good for people with potential allergies. Not sure if the mayo was actually hellmans (again more of allergy purposes . The waitress didnt ask if we had any allergies which i believe is now a legal requirement. A lot of other people also weren't getting the food they were wanting as it wasn't available and the waitresses didn't know what table was what and asking people what they had ordered. I still paid for the meals as I can see they are trying to run it as best as possible and I mentioned at the till this wasn't a good experience but before I return this does need to be rectified."

"Looks nice, decor good but food is really poor. Service was friendly, professional and efficient. Restaurant was not busy. Food 1. Starter Slow cooked Ox Cheek £10. This is clearly from a microwave or boil in a bag, it was freezing cold in the middle, sent it back. Got a replacement that was tough as they had clearly microwaved the new one for a little bit too long. Poor considering you pay £10. Waitress came and took my second Oxcheek away after I had finished and asked if we would like to see the desert menu.....Errr no we would like to eat our main courses please? 2. Main Rib Eye and Sides £32 Steak was good to be fair, triple cooked chips were poor and were left. It is not difficult to do triple cooked chips, you can prepare them in advance and then just fry them to order at a high temperature to crisp them up. Obviously cooked at too lower temperature, soggy and not crispy at all. Really basic stuff, so really poorly cooked. Carrot and spinach sides were good. 3. Dessert Hot Chocolate Fondant and vanilla ice cream £7. What would you expect from this menu description? A nice chocolate fondant and a sensible amount of vanilla ice cream to go with this? Me too......... What I actually got was a tiny chocolate fondant (of the brought in variety and not made in house a tiny, pre balled and rock hard piece of vanilla ice cream with a mountain (in comparison to the other things on the plate of pistachio crumb. No pistachios mentioned on the menu? I returned it saying I was intolerant to nuts and they KINDLY pointed me to the clauses at the bottom of the menu that state food is prepared in a kitchen where nuts may be present and that their menu descriptions do not include all ingredients WOW........ I understand not listing the eggs, flour, cocoa powder etc etc that goes into a chocolate fondant for example BUT IF THERE ARE 3 COMPONENTS ON A PLATE 1. CHOCOLATE FONDANT 2. VANILLA ICE CREAM 3. PISTACHIO CRUMB THEN YOU MUST PUT THE PISTACHIO ON THE DESCRIPTION SURELY?!! I would be wary of ordering egg on toast for breakfast, just in case it came covered in beans using their attitude to menu descriptions : So in summary, 3 courses, sent 2 back and only ate part of the main. They microwave meat and cannot even be bothered to scoop you out fresh ice cream when they serve desserts and I think that says it all. Only just 2 stars because of the service and the steak. Would I return? My god NO!"

"imagine if they want to, a ancient secular fishing village down in the direction of the mouth of the river thames, which once testifies to a time the Roman poor, who directed his way upwards to lick the city of londinium. that is leigh at the sea, or old leigh, as it is known to the locals. the piece leigh, which was not transformed into a pose paradise of cafe/bars, ladies, eating and illegally parked expensive cars with equally expensive vanity. old leigh is just that old. it has been for hundreds of years to catch and serve in small tile skins. Of course, this has been hand in hand with a series of fine (and just as old) pubs, which have been cared for the soul man for an equally long time. to the peter boat. in its current incarnation, it is one of the newer pubs in old leigh and offers for two different masses: older regular (mostly of the year) and younger trinker (each the sun vague in view from mai to september and over christmas). the pub itself is certainly nothing special standard dishes, standard foods and manages to blur a price increase apparently based on the temperature. the service is always incredibly slow when the bar is busy (each of these sunny days) and the staff in the summer are the next students willing to work for minimum wage regardless of experience or ability. the winter is however a completely different fish boiler, but it is not really winter that makes the peter boat worth a train trip from london. in hot days, this pub comes alive. it generates huge amounts in nothing better than a parking lot full of picnic tables with a portakabin flew seafood in the corner. on one side there is the sea wall and the fishing boats with a view of the mouth canal (muddy sea bed, looking at the flood and coming out and kent far away from a clear day). what makes it special is the pure ingenuity, eccentricity and mix of people who drink in the sun. it is really a melting pot of the Essex people and I apologise to everyone to go there without running into at least one person they know. old leigh is one of my favorite places in my hometown and there are not many! I am not going enough there and I am critical of the overall Southend area. there are places like the peter boat and those who go there for year more that remind me why I loved it when I grew up. if they dare in this direction, they owe a visit....and are not deducted from the brights angels, essex young and girls or seafood they need to meet. it is never really a place, decorations, music or products that cneipen or bars make it the people. so they meet them; all character with their strata and all the long, sunny days of summer to tell them."
