Always really busy and cramped, its quite small for a restaurant! I had something with really big mushrooms in, im sure this came out of a tin as it had a horrible taste and covered half of the toast but the eggs were really nice. Dear Tiaeggleston,Thank you for taking your time to leave some feedback we really appreciate it. Apologies that you didn't find the egg and mushrooms to your taste, I can assure you they are prepared and cooked in our kitchen not from a tin but perhaps this didn't reflect on the presentation/taste.I hope you that in the future we will see you again.Thanks again.

Very impressed with the menu and we loved the food served in this restaurant. We weren't expecting it to be so good! If we lived nearer, we would definitely make regular visits here.And a nice surprise to find that there's a female chef in charge in the kitchen!

We arrived for a cold drink. We ordered and then asked for food. The mussels are amazing. The burger looked delicious too pink for my partner yet it looked too epic for me. We need to go back. The team are attentive and polite. I honestly donât know why weâve not been in this place in the past year of us being in Essex. Well done to all at CST weâll be back. The chief is a credit

I was taken out for dinner her with a rather fussy 18 year old recently so, having looked at the menu beforehand was rather concerned - she ate everything! The dining room was full, rather formal looking as is fitting in an old building and expensive hotel, but people were wearing a range of clothes from casual to very formal - so it wasn't stuffy. The staff were attentive but not overly so. I can see why some people think the menu is old fashioned, one of my companions had lobster bisque which I haven't seen on a menu for years, but we were curious and he said it was delicious - the lobster came on the plate with the sauce poured over it at the table; a bit of drama. My starter, braised fennel and main, sea bass were well prepared and served - the fish was fresh and a generous portion. My daughter enjoyed the sweet potato soup and her gnocchi - the first time she has willingly eaten Stilton. We added a small pot of chips to share. Some of the dishes may seem old fashioned to those that have to keep up with trends and think anything else isn't worth trying, but all I am interested in is the quality of the food. It was good, much of it local and obviously home made. One slight criticism. We ordered the coffee and desserts at the same time and were surprised when the former arrived first - and were drunk before the desserts arrived. That isn't the norm as far as I am aware and I was surprised that a restaurant of this quality made such a basic error - I have no problem with them arriving at the same time.

.....but a few niggles. Food good, tasty, freshly made with good ingredients. Slightly let down by the wine, may be just our choice but wasnât a great bottle, and not overly chilled. Service was ok but a bit slow at times, appreciate they were busyish but had to make eye contact a couple of times to get attention, not a deal breaker as we prefer not to be fussed over too much.Would we go again, yes for sure, pretty confident we would enjoy a return visit and try a different wine!

Excellent service from the moment arrived until the moment we reluctantly departed. Food was delicious, even my rather fussy daughter enjoyed everything. The fish cakes were sublime. The host was charming and entertaining, the chef was concerned that you enjoyed his creations, he really didnât need to worry it was all exceptional. An absolute gem of a restaurant, see you again soon.

My wife went here for lunch. The setting is lovely: a restored and embellished country house. The service is friendly and efficient. But the food, in our experience, is mediocre. My wife had ratatouille; I had a Caesar salad with chicken. Both were completely tasteless and my wifeâs food was lukewarm verging on cold. The meal wasnât hugely expensive, around £25 for the two plates plus sparkling water. But it wasnât value for money either. We wonât be going back.
