Shopping Centre, Grays RM17 6QE

About This Pub

Ah, Break Bar, tucked away in the Grays shopping centre – it's one of those places that just hits the spot for a casual catch-up over a cuppa or a bite. From what I've gathered from the reviews, the staff really shine; they're attentive and go out of their way to make you comfortable, like helping with trays when you're loaded up. The food gets a big thumbs up too – that Victoria sponge cake sounds like a must-try, and prices are fair enough that you won't feel short-changed. It's perfect for a quick relax in a laid-back atmosphere, especially if you're after good value and top-notch service. On the flip side, though, there was this one review that stood out where a mum and her sister had a rough time with their newborns, feeling interrupted and put off, which is a bit of a downer in an otherwise positive crowd. Overall, it's got that high rating for a reason, but if you're popping in with little ones, it might pay to keep expectations in check. Still, I'd say it's worth a visit for a chilled-out afternoon – just chat with the team if you need anything sorted!

Pros and Cons

Pros
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful, always going the extra mile like carrying trays for those with their hands full
  • You can enjoy delicious food options, such as that seriously good Victoria sponge cake, at reasonable prices
  • It's a great spot for a relaxing break, with excellent service that makes you feel right at home
Cons
  • There was one unsettling experience where a family with newborns felt interrupted and unwelcome, which soured their visit
  • With only six days open a week and early closing times, it might not suit late-night plans or spontaneous outings

What an atrocious establishment! My sister and I came here yesterday with our newborns and found a small table in the corner so we could feed the babies, A lady came over and asked if we wanted anything and we let her know that we were OK for the moment, minutes later a man came over and asked the same question... again we gave him the same answer... at which point he rather rudely told us we would have to leave! Now our intention was to feed the babies before ordering so we could actually eat our food with 2 hands ... and even if it was not our intention to order ... there were about 3 people in there and a ton of empty tables so it wasn't like we were taking up seats that resulted in them losing paying customers. When we told him we would leave when we had finished feeding (there was no way I was ordering there now!) He was throwing dirty looks our way every opportunity he got!! Never will I order here on principal alone, what sort of person doesn't allow someone to borrow a seat to feed their baby just because you aren't lining their pockets!! So mamas don't bother going here.... disgusting human being!!
