  “Great food, Sunday roast included three amuse bouche, starter, dessert and a sweet treat. Not forgetting the main course roast itself. So practically a tasting menu.”

  “Without a doubt, by far and away, the best dining experience anywhere in the local area. If you want quality food, amazing service, and cracking ambience, this is the place for you. The technique on display is fantastic and every dish is crafted to perfection. Each dish hits the spot for flavour and texture. I've been here for the Sunday roast twice, and the tasting menu once, and they even had me enjoying fish - which I actively avoid, and wolfing down vegetable dishes. This has been a 10/10 experience every time I've been, and the wait staff and kitchen staff have phenomenal product knowledge. The wine pairings were awesome. I cannot speak highly enough of this place. If you are in the Southend or leigh area, you are doing yourself a disservice by not hitting this gaff up. Exquisite. I'd you're going on a Sunday, they do free flowing wines for 2hrs - don't drive if you like a drink. Make the most of the experience and enjoy yourself. Unbelievable value for money. A steal. If I had the money and they were open, I'd eat there every day. 😂”

  “We tried the taster menu with the wine pairing at the weekend, and the whole experience was absolutely first class. Each course was introduced with a clear explanation of the ingredients, which really added to it. The wines were excellent as well. We never felt rushed, and the service was genuinely warm and friendly. It’s officially my new favourite place to eat in Leigh‑on‑Sea”

  “This is genuinely one of the most special places to eat. Their whole concept revolves around fresh, local, organic and seasonal produce, and it shows in every single dish. The food is clean, beautifully crafted and exquisitely balanced with every element paired to perfection. It’s Michelin-level cooking, but without any pretension. The plates are refined yet wholesome, and you always leave feeling properly satisfied. The flavours are incredibly clever and consistently exciting. We’ve been loads of times now and we still walk out raving about it after every single visit. The wine selection deserves a special mention too; all organic or biodynamic, thoughtfully chosen and genuinely outstanding. The staff are friendly and attentive, and they pace the meal perfectly, leaving just the right amount of time between dishes so you can enjoy, digest, pause… and then dive back in again. It turns the meal into a proper experience rather than a rush. The place genuinely fills me with joy! It’s such a treat every time, and we’re incredibly lucky to have something this special right on our doorstep. Without question, the best in Leigh-on-Sea.”

  “Amazing restaurant in Leigh on Sea. 3rd visit to Food in Leigh on Sea and it was amazing again. Opting for the taster menu with drink pairing and each dish was a triumph. Service was great too, intimate but not stuffy. Staff were friendly too, with being too formal. And most importantly for a tasting menu we didn’t feel rushed at all. Living within walking distance we will definitely go again soon. A real treat and great for any special occasion. Highly recommended restaurant in Leigh on sea.”

  “Absolutely delicious meal. Every course was perfect, from the best gluten free sourdough we’ve ever had to dessert. Our server was so lovely too. The kind of meal that nourishes body and soul. We’ll definitely be back.”

  “Absolutely loved this hidden gem. Small but perfectly formed, cosy but bright gluten free restaurant in Leigh. Family run and knowledgeable friendly staff. Food flavours that were delicious and innovative, locally sourced, and a focus of sustainability. Beautifully plated on beautiful plates! Suitable I would say for small groups, couples and older kids. Not so great for wheelchairs due to the footprint of the restaurant. Thought portions looked a little small but had 3 course menu for lunch and was just right. Great value for money too at £35.”
