The Lakes at Stambridge in Rochford

Nice breakfasts and lunches with a stunning view of the lake. Outdoor deck is great in the summer, very peaceful.They are opening a bar so will soon serve alcoholic drinks which will be nice for an afternoon by the lake.Friendly helpful staff.They don't have a dedicated kids menu but are very accommodating and do smaller versions of any of the meals.

Good service and delicious hot food!

Staffed squeezed us in and had a glorious view across the lake.we were recommended the lakes and was not disappointed. Staff very friendly .the breakfast was not greasy at all.had a full English with poached eggs and they were perfect.been told to try the Sunday roast which we will.please book before you go to avoid disappointment. We'll worth a visit

Great cafe with lovely views of the lake. Always book in advance though, no walk ins allowed.

A very popular place with seating both inside and out, nice views over the fishing lakes. Chancey to just turn up best to book.People lovely there, food top notch.

Met friends and family there for lunch. We all had the cheese ploughman's.. It was lovely a nice plate full.. Then few of us the Coffee and walnut cake. Wow best I've ever tasted.. The Staff are so polite. Everywhere is clean and tidy.

We went for breakfast, there were 3 of us, we were not disappointed. The full English breakfast was perfect. It comes with toast white or granary. I asked for mushrooms as an extra. We had a pot of tea each and then another. The staff are lovely and make sure that your visit is enjoyable. Nothing is too much trouble. Next time we are going back for the Sunday Roast Dinner.

We have just had our first Sunday roast at the Lakes. It was amazing. The beef was tender and the vegetables cooked to perfection. The strawberry meringue was an indulgence afterwards when we were so full but well worth it. Well done to the chef and all the staff.

Superb little eatery with fantastic views of the lakes. Lovely food and decent prices. Staff all friendly and keep the place spotless. Ideal place for special occasions or just a random breakfast/lunch on your day off 😊

Really nice food and staff!6 of us enjoyed a lunch break here, I had a chicken burger and Victoria Sponge, and others had cake too. Tea and coffee was also very nice.Would recommend a visit!
