We enjoyed the freshest piece of fish I have had for ages! Batter was crisp and crunchy just how I like it! The service was excellent and the staff very friendly. Definitely a 5 star from me :-)

68 Southchurch Ave, Southend-on-Sea

Great food but very disappointed with their recent promo of 20% off the total bill - handed over the card last night and they refused to honour it and said it relates to takeout only. The front of the card states, very clearly, 20% off your total bill dine-in only. The reverse indicates max 6 people only and one card per table. Very poor.

Want to say a huge thank you to Jordan and his team for helping me to arrange a surprise party for my husbands 40th. We made use of their private room, which was the ideal size for around 30 guests. We were able to get in early to decorate, and staff were very helpful! The food was delicious and incredibly plentiful and good value for the choice and amount. I would absolutely hire for a special occasion again, thank you!

Well this was the first time I have been to Southend. We looked for somewhere to eat and bumped into this small cafe. My what a find! I had seafood risotto and I highly recommend it. For dessert I had banana split. Again a success. Please visit this on the seafront. Plenty of paid parking and free if you have a Blue Badge.

Best roast dinner I’ve had out in a long, long time.
Great selection of meats, beef brisket cooked amazingly, in fact the whole dinner was. Unlike the rest of the greedy establishments out there, you don’t pay extra for the staple part of a roast dinner either! Cauliflower cheese is not an optional side!! The staff were very lovely too. Highly recommend.
Also like a tardis in there, I thought was a tiny little pub. It’s not!

We had our Roast dinner here today. It was the best Roast dinner that we have had. There was 6 of us in our booking and 2 of us need to eat gluten free. Usually when you go out and eat gluten free they do this by taking items away but at this pub they did all the trimmings for us gluten free so Yorkshires, stuffing, gravey and cauliflower all gluten free and it was all homemade. The puddings were just as good too and they do a gluten free brownie. Great food and nice atmosphere in this country pub set in Wakering.

Really enjoyable visit to The Exchange in Southend-on-Sea. This pub has a great balance of lively atmosphere and comfortable seating, making it ideal for both drinks and food. Staff were polite, quick, and helpful throughout the visit. The place was clean and well organised, with a friendly local feel. Drinks selection was very good, with plenty of choices on tap and fair prices. Food arrived quickly, was hot, and tasted excellent. It’s a great spot to meet friends, watch live sport, or spend a relaxed evening out. One of the better pubs in Southend and definitely somewhere I would visit again soon.
