Went for lunch today with some girlfriends. I had the tomahawk pork, it was delicious really juicy and succulent the triple cooked chips were perfection fluffy in the middle and crunchy on the outside. Also had the truffle mac and cheese yum. Not great for my waistline but great for my mind and tastebuds. Had two very happy dogs that woofed down the left overs. Great service and very attentive staff, we had a wonderful lunch.

Have been here so many times we've lost count, but yesterday was sadly our last visit. Booked in advance to ensure we got a table as we know how popular it is here. Got our drinks but had to wait 20 minutes for our order to be taken, didn't get our two roast dinners for a further 30. Questioned why the delay and was told other tables in front of us had had starters?? Was offered other drinks but didn't want them, just wanted our meals. 50 minutes from arrival for two main courses is poor - in anyone's book. Considering practically all of our meal was precooked I can't find any reasonable excuse for this. There was no sign of any management on site so maybe this is why? The roast here used to be exceptional, our last visit here let them down badly on food quality but wanted to give it another go yesterday. I'm unsure why it all seems to have gone downhill here but we were so disappointed. The food was fine when it finally arrived, we always turn down the cauli cheese as it's just a bit of melted cheese on a floret, there's no sauce. The roasties are always very tasty.When Steve managed this site, the food and service were brilliant. Somebody who knows about service needs to be draughted back in here to straighten things out. Sadly, we'll move on but I'd like to see the Trading Rooms back to good service.Thank you for your honest feedback. We have obviously failed you in our service on this occasion. You are right - there is no real excuse for such a wait, I can only apologise. It is only through such feedback that we can learn and develop our business - your observations have been passed on to management and staff training & development within the site has recently taken place. I hope that you will consider giving the Trading Room another chance to show what service we truly have to offer. Regards

Love this place. Always have a good meal here and the vibe is nice. Staff are really friendly and helpful. We arrived on time but wanted to have a drink in the bar before our dinner and they were fine just allowing us to do that and not telling us we needed to hurry to our table. Great chilled place. Reminds me of the Islington pubs I used to go too!

What a great find. Appearances can be deceptive. Fantastic pub, staff were very friendly and the pub itself was spotlessly clean with the cleanest toilets I think I've ever seen. Well worth a visit if you're in Southend and fancy a bite to eat

I am a local/regular and visit the Hamlet frequently. On the upside, it's a really friendly local pub, with lovely food, and great staff. Sadly, they've changed the Sauvignon Blanc to a type called Bear and Star....nnot only is it completely unpalatable, but its £1.25 a bottle more than the previous one which at least was drinkable. Thankfully, as a regular, I was given the offer to taste the new Sauvignon before purchasing any....3 of us had a sip ... we all thought it was FOUL.So I tried the Pinot Grigio....it was disgusting tooSo I tried the Pinot Grigio Rosada....it was better....but again £17.95 a bottle..as opposed to £15.25 for the previous Sauv.So it's now £2.75 a bottle more for me to enjoy a bottle of wine with friends in my local.I should mention that there is an alternative Sauv...a New Zealand one, but its £22.95!!!! £7.75 more a bottle than the last palatable Sauv the Hamlet used to serve!This is a local pub, its not in town, on the seafront or in Leigh....my advice to management is get to know your customers..... before you lose them. HI ThereThank you for taking the time to offer your feedback, we take all customer comments seriously. It is with that in mind that the previous Sauvignon Blanc - and a few other wines were reviewed and replaced.It was identified from customer feedback across the company sites that the existing product was not satisfactory.We are sorry that you are not happy with the replacement, and will certainly keep that in mind as we continue to review and assess our offer.We have also been able to offer a discounted price on our existing Prosecco and even added a by the glass option as per customer feedback and request.

My wife and I had been invited by two of our grandchildren to celebrate my seventy-something birthday the pub was quite busy and we had to wait a short while for our table once seated we were given menus and when we were ready our orders were taken we all opted for a roast lunch: turkey, half roast chicken, pork and one mixed which was beef, pork, and turkey the meals were served with crispy roast potatoes, mixed veg and a huge Yorkshire pudding plus a side order of cauliflower cheese which was included as part of the meal. We all agreed the meal was excellent and the service was way above average,I will recommend The Bellhouse.

Reviewed By jaydenem1995
Came in for my Mum's free round of birthday cocktails. I find Revolution a lot more bearable during the day, as I'm not really a crowd person and it gets super busy at night. As it was, we visited in the early afternoon and were able to sit upstairs (where only one other table was seated) and relax whilst we drank our cocktails. I chose the new Rockstar Martini which was really sweet and tasty and complete with edible lips and glitter. I enjoy the cocktails a lot more when they're quiet because the bar staff have time to add the little touches shown on the menu; whereas in the evening they are a lot more rushed and things are missed. I do really enjoy the odd trip to Revolution but, in my opinion, it's really not up to scratch when it's busy. Go during the day for a pleasant experience.HI Jaydenem1995, thank you so much for your feedback and for taking the time to write us a great review! I'm so happy to hear you had a great time with us and we look forward to your next visit. See you soon!
