FEAST! in Southend-on-Sea

The family enjoyed the Sunday roast but I was disappointed with the fish. It was supposed to be pan fried but there was no crispy skin, looked like it was steamed. The rice and the sauce did not go with the fish. Chef need to review this combination. Otherwise this is a quirky place and staff were very friendly. Music was abit loud so it was difficult to have conversation.

The place itself is beautiful and really well done up, it seems like it would be a great place for drinks / cocktails.We expected more from the food, it seems like they’ve tried to reinvent classics but didn’t quite work (serving 3 large “gnocchi” that texture wise was creamy mash in the shape of massive of gnocchi, paired with a rich red wine gravy) and burgers with buns that were a bit stale.The service was great and a really relaxed vibe. Will definitely come back for drinks and live music!

My brother and I visited San Fairie Ann 1st May. We were offered the Sunday 3 course meal for £30. My brother had chicken and I had roast beef. For starters we had home made broccoli and Stilton soup. Dessert was sticky toffee pud. All the food was home made. To say the food AND SERVICE was stunning is an understatement. It was fantastic. I would highly recommend the restaurant/bar. It is Quirky, warm and inviting.

Great quirky place, and whilst the waiters were very friendly, they are spread too thinly and need more staff. We had lunch and we'd specifically booked a certain table (round and down the back where it's brighter) so were disappointed when we arrived that it was already allocated. There was a scramble to make us one up elsewhere. Service was slow and a bit haphazard. The menu has limited choices (about 10) and although tables set with cutlery for many courses, there was only one. We were so hungry we asked for perhaps some bread to nibble at whilst we were waiting, but they said it wasn't possible.

Visited today with my family for my daughters 40th birthday meal. Food was excellent, service very good, polite and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed would definitely recommend. Even thanked the chef for great food. We’ll be back soon.

It's hard for me as I live next door. Normally go for a drink with friends once they finish work. Food is good, service good and friendly. Live entertainment weekends. A large bookable private function room down stairs. Opens till late. Why go anywhere else.

Lovely quirky place in Alexander St. We had afternoon tea which was lovely, the sausage rolls with apricots are to die for. Perfect place to take someone for lunch or afternoon tea

I had my 50th Birthday here on 16/1/22 😊 Myself, Family and Friends thought it was amazing The Staff were brilliant and very attentive and the food was delicious 😋 surroundings of the restaurant are quirky but homely we all loved it!!! we will be coming back!!Thanks again to the Staff for making my Birthday special ❤

A very different style of restaurant, great decor! We had Sunday lunch. The food was huge and delicious, the gravy was particularly noted. It was nice to have live music but being seated close to the speaker made conversation a bit tricky. A really nice lunchtime treat.

Came randomly after an afternoon on the beach when looking for a place to eat. And what do you know, the food was absolutely superb, one of the best roasts I've ever had.Very friendly staff and tasty cocktails, can very much recommend.
