The Rose Garden - Southend-on-Sea

Very disappointed with the food. Ordered sea bass in white wine sauce , but when it arrived it was covered in a brown sauce . When I queried the sauce was told it was a white sauce with spices added( that made it taste of curry). The sea bass was then replaced but although the sauce was a lighter colour it still tasted of curry and I’m not sure it was even sea bass! Be very careful when you order anything as most of the sauces taste of curry. Such a shame as nice venue but I wouldn’t eat there again.

Absolutely top class food,, Used the lunchtime options 3 courses £29.50, Try it,,, same Al a carte Quality food , Nice airy place good furniture decor Good service, You can definitely tell the food was cooked Then,,,, not warmed up, ok it takes a little longer, BUT,, that’s what your paying for As Ex Publicans, we were “Very” impressed Alan Carole Hireson On my birthday 12 January 2024

It was the first time we’d had Christmas dinner “out” and there was 16 of us to cater for so we were a little nervous that the service and food would be below parr but we needn’t have been. The Rose Garden superseded all our expectations. Charlotte who took our booking was an absolute diamond. She accommodated some of our picky eaters which I was frankly stunned at as it’s a Christmas Day set menu! Charlotte was always helpful, always communicative and was very precise with our order, checking and rechecking we had what we wanted. I can’t speak of Charlotte highly enough. The Rose Garden is very lucky to have her. When we arrived as was seated immediately with a polite, welcoming smile from serving staff and our drinks ordered taken straight away. There was just one sitting that day unlike other pubs and restaurants where you are only allowed to have the gavel for two hours so we didn’t feel rushed between courses. The food came out piping hot and delicious and considering the staff were working on Christmas Day they were all just so lovely, and couldn’t do enough for us all. The meal went perfectly. We couldn’t have asked for more, and we won’t hesitate in coming back or recommending The Rose Garden.
