I have never been here before either in its current guise or when it was the Ancorra but visited this evening with friends. All I can say is that I have missed out massively having lived locally for over 20 years. The menu has significant and varied choice with plenty to suit any palate. I opted for the grilled chicken breast with prawns in a light mustard sauce, which came with vegetables. The chicken was lovely with the sauce not being overpowering and the vegetables cooked fresh and, a rarity for nowadays, silver served. The meal was lovely. For dessert I opted for Bread and Butter pudding and again it was superb. My wife had a garlic pizza bread for starters which was huge and I gladly assisted her in demolishing it. For main course she opted for lasagne which she felt was a little too salty although when I tried some I found it full of flavour. Our friends meals looked lovely and they were also very complimentary. What enhanced the experience for me however was the service which was just spot on. Everyone was so friendly without being over the top, and everything was prompt without being rushed. The atmosphere inside also was very good with light music in the background but not at a level to drown the conversation. The bill too was very fair, working out at around £35 per head for 3 courses and a drink each. In an area heaving with decent eateries we now have another that will see our custom.

First time eating here, and booked on the basis of other good reviews, I was not disappointed!Mum had prawn cocktail to start, which was beautifully presented, and according to her, the best shed ever eaten - High praise indeed! I had pate which was equally well presented and delicious. We both had roast beef for main course which came with all the trimmings and perfectly cooked. The roasties particularly crispy, beef nice and pink, great big Yorkshire pud.The service was exceptional, all the staff so friendly and attentive.I can highly recommend this restaurant and will be pleased to return.

The unassuming exterior hides a real foodie heaven for lovers of Southern European food and wine. The nearby free car park just off the A13 helps. We sampled Swordfish steaks cooked simply with green beans and potatoes or saute, Seafood linguine with almost as much seafood as pasta, washed down with a very nice Spanish rose. The portions were so big we had no room for dessert, a great pity. All watched over by the nicest Senora and served nicely by her girls. We want to come again - soon.

We have been to Aspera before and will definitely be returning again. 6 of us visited Aspera for my husbands birthday. From the moment we walked in the door, we were greeted and taken straight to our table. The food is excellent and good size portions. The staff are attentive, polite and comical at times (in a good way), making you feel like you are not just another number. Our daughters have bought us a voucher as a present and cannot wait to return.......Dear Customer, thank you for taking your time to write a lovely review of our restaurant, the food and staff. We pride ourselves in making every customer feel special from the moment you walk through the door and that is lovely look forward to seeing you again soon.Kind regards Taz

Birthday dinner with friends. 6 of us, all enjoyed different dishes! Service very good, and made a fuss of when itâs your birthday, lots of singing by the staff! The strawberry daiquiri is delicious! Love their pan fried prawns too! Hubby loves their kleftico dish! Definitely best restaurant in Rayleigh.

I would like to think that we went there on a bad day for them.Allow I doubt it.Beer was bad.Iâm no chef but I could easily beat the food.Not at all authentic.We left most of it.BAD..... thatâs a great michael jackson song but not a reflection on a Marcos visit surely. Looking at your reviews you slate everyone and everything so no point wasting time writing a response but remember 1 persons opinion isnât going to ruin our reputation especially as your a man of few words.
