We had a surprise 30th birthday for my stepson with afternoon tea for around 20 of us. The food was plentiful and absolutely delicious, everyone was thoroughly impressed. The service from the staff was superb, very attentive and nothing too much trouble. A fab afternoon was had by all. Highly recommend.

Been a few times now and the pavilion never fails to impress - amazing staff, amazing food and fantastic views what more could you ask for. Absolutely my favourite place in Essex to stop for a coffee, breakfast or an amazing lunch. Still yet to try evenings but I have no doubt that’s just as amazing. Everything is so reasonably priced and the atmosphere is just amazing 1000/10 if you’re in the area don’t hesitate just go!

The view draws you in, what keeps you coming back is the lovely staff and the quality of the food. Whether it’s just for a coffee, a drink, light bites or something more substantial, this place has you covered. And did I mention the great staff?
