Dining experiences in Grays

“Location is fantastic . We decided to stay over after a visit to Lakeside and go out to the boom battle bar. The staff were all lovely from reception to the breakfast staff . Breakfast was very nice , good quality sausages and lots of cereals, pastries. Would stay here again . Basic but had everything we needed”

“My wife is disabled, so we booked the wheelchair seats at top of cinema 6. The staff were most helpful assisting us in the lift and making sure the toilet was unlocked. The cinema seating arrangement was superb, clean and very comfortable. A member of staff then helped us back to the lift. Congratulations to staff members and a big thank you to them, sorry I didn’t get their names. A very pleasant experience and a good film.”

“Good food lots of choice very friendly and helpful.”

“Amazing food and fantastic staff. Went above and beyond for my son in law who got chilli in his eye and took him to clean it out with an eye bath. Will definitely be going back”

“Lovely spot to drink (alcohol or otherwise) and eat Italian style in the centre of Lakeside shopping centre. Excellent breakfasts, set lunches and other meals, including antipasti, and desserts. Italian beers and a full range of cocktails and spirits.”

“Came to collect a sofa and needed help getting it into my car but thank god for Joe Cann who stayed past his hours to help me out!”

“Had a chicken escalope which was lovely and a good size for what I paid. The coffee was standard, nothing terrible. The staff were friendly too. I would go back if I wanted lunch again while shopping.”

“We were had breakfast there today,(also eveing meals) the food was lovely, loved the porridge. The 2 ladies Beverly and Anita were very friendly and chatty felt comfortable and relaxed. The dinning area was clean and very well looked after We would highly recommend. Thank you it made our 2 day break go really great.”

“Star Boy Grill in Essex serves some of the best African food I've had—it's now my go-to after trying all the top spots in London and Essex. The Jollof rice is incredible, easily some of the best I've tried, and the plantains are always perfectly cooked, never too ripe or too hard. If you're craving great Suya, this place is a must. The owner’s hospitality and the lively music create an unforgettable experience. Highly recommended!”

“Amazing experience! Great coffee...”

“Tasty food, ordering on website was easy, delivery wasn't too long, paid by card when delivered which was handy, menu selection was good. I would order again.”

“Lovely friendly staff, easy and quick to order online. Great food and good prices.”

“BEST AUTHENTIC CHINESE FOOD IN GRAYS!!! Since we found out about China Phoenix, we cannot order anywhere else. First of all, we wanted to try them because of their beef Ho Fun which nowhere else sell it and it is amazing. You can tell they make their food with love and dedication as it is always fresh, flavourful, hot and very packed. The boy on the phone is always very polite, helpful and friendly. No other Chinese food delivery tastes like this. Super recommended and our go to are the beef ho fun, nasi goreng, Hong Kong style sweet and sour chicken, sesame prawn toast, beef in black bean sauce and special chow mein. Defoo worth a try!!”

“I'm sure other people have had bad experiences but honestly I couldn't fault our experience with Fabb Lakeside at all. The sales rep (can't remember name, sorry!! Lady with a Brummy accent?!) was so polite and friendly and definitely not at all pushy. We came back twice really unsure whether to go ahead and buy the sofa but at no point at all felt pressured.. in fact it was totally relaxed. She was very helpful when we had questions. We were told about 6 weeks which seemed very good for a large corner suite and would have been satisfied even if it took a little longer but 6 weeks after purchasing we got our call to say it's ready for delivery. Delivery was quick and tidy, they took all the rubbish with them. Genuinely couldn't fault a single step in the process. Maybe we were the lucky ones but considering we're super happy with our sofa and it was about £1000 cheaper than similar sofas elsewhere, I'd still say to consider this place!”

“I really like meat balls and mashed potatoes here. Delicious and cheap. Deserts are good. But less meal selections. Good place to have lunch during the ikea shopping. Heavily crowded, but you will find a place to sit as there is enough space.”

“I went to sofology thurrock with my dad today There today we had a look around at all of the sofas they have there at sofology thurrock They have a very lovely selection of sofas at sofology thurrock It was so lovely looking at all fo the sofas They looked very soft and comfy You have very lovely sofas at sofology thurrock I really like looking a their sofas and my dad does as well Kind and friendly staff Lovely service This place gets it's very first 5 out of 5 star rating by me Enjoy reading your google review by me Have a lovely rest of your day 5 stars all around”

“Great knowledge and very helpful.”

“Really loved it here, new restaurant on boardwalk in Lakeside, was on the way to Wagamama but saw this and walked in. Service, Food and drink along with the restaurant and location are nearly faultless, or they were for our visit. Good bits Cocktails: honey bee and rum crumble delicious Starters: Lobster bonbons and King prawn and Lobster bites dish, presented beautifully and delicious, was piping hot also Mains: Ramen broth with sirloin, spicy and interesting, better than Wagamama (bit more expensive but worth it). Wagu burger with truffle fries, very hot and fresh, moist lovely texture Bad bits Am really being critical here and these are mentioned as to help the restaurant Glass stuck to table (I pretended to be a magician and two waitresses couldn't move it) table and / or glass obviously not clean and dried 100% Fantastic meal and visit, thanks very much was first meal out in a long time Good luck with this new venture and we will return soon Waitress spilled a bit of my cocktail”

“Nice restaurant, polite attentive staff, excellent tasty food and good price for this area of London.”

“Ordered on just eat, arrived on time pretty much. This Chinese seems a bit spicier and hotter than others, I quite liked it tbh. I’ll be eating from here again so I definitely recommend their food.”

“Donna was fantastic, she helped us choose and design our dream kitchen. She is obviously very experienced and knows her stuff. She wasn't pushy and has a great personality. We are really pleased with the quality of the units and service provided. Would highly recommend! Thank you Donna!”

“Visited the cafe today for lunch, staff are very pleasant and helpful. Food reasonably priced will be back soon.”

“Really nice helpful staff. Got just the sofa I needed for £4 a week”
