The Bellhouse in Southend-on-Sea

All I can say is wow! Food, service and atmosphere were all top notch here today. The patio was stunning and full of sunshine but it was well laid out and open too. The food was amazing - great roast meals and loved the sandwiches. The desserts were fantastic as well.. the sticky toffee pudding and blondie tasted amazing! Finally, service was brilliant too. Our server was really friendly and quick and everhthing came out really quickly too. I would definitely recommend a visit and will be returning for sure!

Food was superb but the service was very slow. This wasn't the fault of the waitress in any shape or form, she ran around like a loony ( a credit to the restaurant) but lack of staff by the management. They scored an own goal, otherwise it would be 5 stars from me.

Great atmosphere, happy and friendly staff, amazing food...couldn't ask for more!

I frequented The Bellhouse with my partner, her sister and her husband.Waitress did a good job and nothing was too much trouble.Sunday lunch was ok but certainly nothing to write home about.My partner found a hair on her glass which on looking wasn't human.l noticed another waitress petting a dog that was lying beside another table but failed to wash hands afterwards.We went on a recommendation from a friend, but we all left disappointed.

What a lovely pub, great atmosphere, and lovely decor. The staff were extremely friendly and answered all our questions without hesitation. The portions are absolutely huge, we couldnt fit in dessert! Great value for money, will definitely be returning & hoping to try a pudding next time

Had the set menu our main which was vegan duck was fabulous. Really enjoyed it. Our starter was nice but would have been better with a slightly bigger and softer piece of bread. Service was superb and prices were very reasonable. All in all would recommend.

Booked at short notice, was told we could only have an hour which was fine with us, no hurry of anybody. Lovely staff so polite and was asked a number of times if all was ok, would definitely return here and especially in the summer as the garden looked amazing with loads of seating, people had dogs with them in the pub which I love and will so bring mine nx time as normally leave him at home if we come to eat..loads of parking. Thanks so much for the lovely food and service was exemplary.

Lovely food all freshly cooked and home made. The portions are huge, we all left with very full stomachs. Great staff who made us feel very welcome. Will definitely be going back again.

Had a wonderful meal here today, found the bellhouse by fluke after an appointment. My brother and I had a warm welcome and the staff was so amazing with anything we required and the food was just so juicy and will definitely recommend this beautiful pub
