Essex Marina - Carta

Called back to the Marina bar where I spent many an enjoyable time some years ago.Food and drinks available at reasonable prices.Friendly service.

Love stopping off here for a bit of lunch or just a coffee before a walk. Can't wait to try it in the summer so we can sit outside with the lovely views. A little gem of a place!

Whilst out for a walk at the nearby RSPB reserve we stumbled across The Wardroom for a welcome coffee. As the food menu looked very enticing, we went back for lunch after finishing our walk. The food and beer were excellent! Also live music was there on a Saturday afternoon. A great find, we will be back. Ver carta

A fantastic location looking out across the river and countryside, and Covid measures have been well implemented (apart from the hand sanitiser outside the toilet being empty. Food was a huge disappointment, I do not expect to pay around £8 for a cheeseburger that would shame a burger van from the 1970's. Cheap, thin slurry burger was pretty awful. I would have thought the yachting fraternity demand more. Seeing the cook moving tables chairs around next to us while smoking a rollup completed the low-grade impression of the place.

We had a lovely afternoon on the balcony overlooking the river at this restaurant. The view was really beautiful. The lunch menu had a variety of options and the food was tasty, as was the service. Our conversation was momentarily interrupted by a strange individual who seemed to have been eavesdropping on us. After drinking two beers, he went on a bizarre rant before leaving. We hope he won't be there next time we visit. Despite this unexpected interruption, we enjoyed some delicious coffees and left feeling satisfied later in the afternoon. Overall, we highly recommend this place.

This is, we were told, under new management and it really is very good. My husband had scrambled eggs on toast (choice of bread and the granary looked lovely) from the all day breakfast menu and I had a chicken burger from the lunch menu big chunks of breast meat in a crispy coating with a generous portion of chips and sides. There is also a range of sandwiches and paninis if you don't want a full meal. The balcony looks out over the River Crouch. From earlier reviews, I suspect the previous cafe wasn't great but don't let them put you off based on our meal there today, this is worth a visit. Ver carta

My Wife Myself... Plus our dog, popped in on the offchance on Saturday afternoon for a drink.... I asked if we could bring the dog up onto the outside seating area, we were told, so long as he was on his lead well behaved he was welcome inside !...Originally we were just going to have a drink... But after the dog was given a free sausage the smell of cooking from the kitchen became too much to stand, we ordered food ourselves...Cajun Chicken Dirty Fries, and good old Sausage, Egg Chips.....All very tasty serves in warm cozy very friendly surroundings....Highly Recommended,,,, we will be back...soon!,

After reading an article recommending The Wardroom as a hidden gem, we decided to go there for breakfast. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a wasted trip. While the setting was lovely and relaxing, we were informed that the chef was away and the full menu was not available. We waited for 1 hour and 20 minutes for our breakfast to arrive, and eventually decided to leave after seeing two other tables do the same. We only paid for the drinks we had ordered an hour earlier. The ordering system was chaotic and the service quality was poor. Although the food we saw on other tables looked good, we cannot comment on it personally. We were disappointed as the setting was nice but the basics were lac...

We had heard great things about this restaurant for breakfast, so we decided to give it a try. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed. We cannot comment on the food because after waiting for over an hour with no sign of our order, we decided to leave. We were informed that the regular chef was on vacation, but we were not warned about the long wait for food. Despite our attempts to pay for our drinks and explain that we were leaving, the staff assured us that our food would be ready soon. However, we still chose to depart, along with several other couples who had also not received their food. It would have been helpful to have been informed upon arrival that there would be a significant wa... Ver carta
