Rose Restaurant in Southend-on-Sea

Good food at reasonable price disable parking available outside for free

Pleasant promenade cafe. Waitress was very attentive, both food and drinks arrived in good time.

Friendly staff and lovely food. Would recommend the jacket potatoe as was quite big and filling with the cheese and beans. Will be going back for sure

We had chicken saladFish salad.all fresh very nice.good service.

Lovely food couldnt fault it

Stopped off for some lunch, pleasantly surprised had a burger and chips. Best chips I have had in a long time, good portion and great service

We had really lovely breakfast at Rose, staff was really friendly and even when we tweaked the food on menu there was not much trouble at all,coffee and tea was lovely tooWould definitely recommend

The fish was defrosted tasteless and tasted like it’s going off, will never come back here. They gave me salad instead of peas and that’s one of the stars.

Absolutely amazing! The fish was fresh and the chips were just the right texture and the mushy peas were too! Will definitely return. 10/10... Amina was so polite and couteous! Great customer service too. Very clean and friendly environment.

Brilliant food - very clean and fresh

Gave us a free potato, would 100% recommend 😌

gave me a potato for free, would recommend

Lovely young lad served us, if youre just looking for a cheap breakfast I would recommend this place.

Had a fish and chips here at lunch time and I can say how freshly it was made. Tasty and not oily like many other places. Highly recommend 👌🏽

I had the fish and chips they were totally delicious! Best Ive tasted. Prices were reasonable too

I honestly couldnt say I enjoyed eating here. I had to clean and sanitise the table myself as it was not clean when I sat down. There is little social distancing between some of the tables.The meal itself.....I ordered fish and chips and was disappointed to get fries and frozen fish, especially for £8. I was given a can of drink with no glass, or straw offered. My husbands full English breakfast was very small and not worth £6.50. There was a hair in my meal and the cutlery was not overly clean. (thankfully I had all my own wipes, sanitisers etc).Would not rush to go back here

Wouldnt even give them half a star to be honest.All the food was disgusting aside from the sausages, the chips werent cooked, were a soggy mess and tasted awful, the calamari was over cooked, Drinking glasses were dirty and smelt of Fish, I had two eggs with my meal, one was harder than the stones on the beach and the other might as well have been cracked onto my plate and left as it was, and the chef looked more of a mess than the fellas at the pub next door.The only reason I give them a star is because "SOME" of the staff there was very apologetic regarding the meal, but no one did anything to rectify the amount of money I paid for basically nothing as we left the plates full and showed our displeasure with there food.Would highly recommend walking straight past as my partner has been unwell ever since and we had to cut our stay at Southend short due to this.I would never even consider eating here again, Id be more obliged to stand outside with a sign directing people away.Thanks for ruining what should have been a lovely weekend away Rose restaurant, if I was to give some advice clean your equipment so theres no cross contamination as I can taste the different foods across your menu, and would strongly recommend employing a chef that can actually cook.Kindest regards

Myself and my sister and a friend had the fish and chips and they were excellent. First time we tasted proper fish and chips. Portions were good, chips were hot and crispy.will most likely revisit the restaurant again.

An excellent service. The staff were lovely on our visit today (15/08/20 2pmand instantly noticed that my daughter was concerned she had Baked Beans on her chips. My daughter has autism so doesnt like certain food touching other food, the lady servicing us instantly without being asked offered to replace the meal without beans and with a friendly smile too. The food itself was nicely priced, well cooked and served quickly. The table was clean. We had savaloy and chips. The chips were perfect. Crunchy on the outside and soft on the inside and the savaloys were just savaloys really! Nothing special but did the job. The service was what really made the visit worthwhile, thats a rarity nowadays especially in Southend at the weekend where it is busy. The ladies dealing with the customers gave great pride in their work and made us feel welcome.

Old typical seaside cafe. Food is of generous portions. I had an omelette oozing with cheese (a little too much for me but some others may want more ! Chips very tasty and a nice mug of tea. ..prices are reasonable place is clean and tidy..Social distancing with other tables and sanitizer readily available.

Amazing food we ate breakfast and dinner every day of our stay will definitely be going back thank you

Food warm at best it’s best described as granny smith’s everything is pink themed ! Old fashioned & I won’t be coming back ever

I was very pleasantly surprised with this place!, to look at it doesnt look the best and could do with a bit of a re vamp, however the staff here was great so nice so friendly and so helpful the place was clean as well.The food came and looked and tasted so nice!, much much better than I expected I will definitely be making another visit her for food.The fish was crystal white and fresh the chips were some of the best Ive had and the peas were just right as well, not like bullets as youd expect in most places.The cost was very reasonable not to expensive at all.A great lunch experance her I would definitely recommend this place.

We had a nice cup of tea the food nice in there tho

Yummy tomato soup! Service is good.

Great service, the staff were sweet, atmosphere was nice and food was great 👍🏻 fresh fish and homemade batter

Pleasant surroundings. Lovely staff. Greek salad for lunch was nice.

Absolutely amazing staff service and food after being treated disgustingly at wimpys early on having walked away we chose to eat here thank you wimpy for allowing us too come across this superb establishment keep up the great work

Great place to go food great restaurant clean good staff.

Food was fantastic, family run

Absolutely terrible fish, 12 bones found in my fish, and the taste? Taste more like sea water more than proper fish and chips, not to mention its well expensive. At least the waitress had the dignity not to charge me full price but with a snarky remark of "fish have bones".

A lot of delicious food for a reasonable price, served by a nice team.

Fish and chips was the best Ive ever had. Had to wait a while but was definitely worth waiting for. Staff were nice and friendly.

Possibly the worst fish and chips Ive had. Chips were undercooked and the batter on the fish was awful. Go elsewhere.

The food and staff are nice but the prices were a bit steep.

5 star easily staff amazing and friendly the food is spot on nothing was to much trouble even tho we where 5 blokes on a stag do such a friendly place

Friendly staff, lovely atmosphere and reasonably priced

Fantastic home cooked cake. Big portion sizes. Would i go back. Yes i would just for the home cooked cake. Very clean and tidy very welcoming.

Rose restaurant is under going a bit of refurb upstairs ( if its 1 I think it is?)Anyway fish n chip meal was excellent, cos was white, tasty, cooked right, no oil or fat on plate after few mins, beautiful piece of fish.... staff ok n friendly even though rushed of there feet with all the bikes there 2day (Easter monday)

Lovely food friendly staff.

It was alrightt but chips went cooked anoth

A perfectly passable chippie in a lovely location. Im not going to pretend that it has the most innovative menu, but it does have a good selection of favourites that are cooked fresh to order. The restaurant alludes to its history well and has been in the hands of the same family for generations.

Beautiful service,with good classic seafront food

Will not be eating here again rubbish Restaurant peas inedible. Look up stairs its a tip.

Never come here this is the worst restaurant i have met in my flipping life I asked for 3 cod I waited 1 hour and then the old woman asks me what I wanted and Im like 3 coddd and she runs to the kichen and tells the chef that she meeds 3 cod then I wait another 40 minutes of my life and they do t even say fu sorry.never come you will waste your time in the beach.thanks.

Food very reasonably priced, and ok. Friendly service.

Pleasant enough but honestly the food isnt great. The chips are good but the fish is merely edible... But just dont put yourself through the ordeal of the peas.

Chicken came out cold in the middle when sent back they microwaved the chicken to heat it back up had a bad pain in stomach since girlfriend had same meal and was throwing up all day today called manager he said COULD NOT BE HIS FOOD then told me they MICROWAVE all pre cooked chickens

Good service. Ok prices. Liked the chips a lot.

The women was so rude, previously asked a member of staff if we could add a chair he said no prob then we were rudely told by the women that we had to move. When I said I had already asked she replied he doesnt know anything. So I said wed have to leave she replied do what you want. So we left!
