Restaurants near Basildon Park

We have been to The Pot Kiln twice now and it never disappoints. Restaurant and staff very welcoming with a great atmosphere. Menu had changed which is nice to see and the food was amazing. Love to see the chefs in the open kitchen working there magic. Would highly recommend this to anyone and we are definitely coming back.

First time at the Swan since it reopened and we were very favourably impressed. The ambience and decor are really pleasant and imaginative yet well suited to the historic building. Service was friendly and attentive, despite it being Valentine’s night and busy it was not rushed nor too intrusive. The menu was varied and interesting, and everything we had was delicious and really well made. Really excellent fillet steaks, and a tasty unusual panna cotta. The wine menu was limited (it is a pub after all) but good choices and reasonably priced. Overall a very good experience and we will certainly be back…thank you!

Food was excellent… ordered from a combination of the main menu and the valentines special menu. All dishes were really flavourful and well seasoned. Highlight was the tandoori monkfish and extremely tasty dal. This was our first visit but we will definitely be back as there were so many things on the menu we want to try. This is a real foodie pub! We were lucky to get a nice table by the window. Staff and service was fantastic and there was a really nice buzz about the place on this busy Friday night. Whilst we had an early booking at 6pm, we weren’t chased from our table for a second siting… this was really appreciated. Overall a really lovely evening with great food.

Great food in a lovely pub. Service was a little sporadic given it was relatively quiet

An enjoyable dining experience for all of our party of 6.
