Visited for the first time , and I was pleasantly pleased at the decor , which provides a relaxing atmosphere, being both modern but retaining some original features. The staff are very smart , efficient, and friendly , providing a good service . I had the roast beef , which was very good, all fresh veg , generous portions. My brother in law is vegan and it was no problem, they had a tasty meal and even managed to have a vegan dessert.. Overall I would say brilliant to my visit and will definitely be visiting again.

We had almost given up on finding somewhere interesting to drink in Southend. This place is a rare find. Deliberately dilapidated, cultivated decline throughout. It has lots of different little rooms where on a Saturday night a variety of bands were playing to packed audiences. It felt very independent, creative and relaxed.

We arrived shortly after 12.30 hadnât booked but fortunately got s table. Most other diners had booked, obviously very popular. So Iâd ring ahead unless you go early. I had jacket potato with cheese and beans. Good pub grub. Very generous portion served with salad and coleslaw. My hubby opt for a main course he had pork belly with black pudding mash and seasonal veg. Good hearty pub food freshly cooked. We will definitely return.

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

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.

We all agreed the meal was excellent and the service was way above average,I will recommend The Bellhouse.
