94/100
The Eyna in Basildon is a real treat for anyone craving top-quality Turkish cuisine in a stylish, welcoming setting – it's got that perfect mix of luxury and laid-back charm that makes for a memorable visit.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food is absolutely spot-on, with authentic Turkish and Mediterranean flavours that really hit the spot – think exquisite dishes like sticky toffee pudding and fresh cocktails that leave you wanting more.
  • The atmosphere is just lovely, blending contemporary luxury with a welcoming vibe, perfect for a special night out or even a casual get-together with mates.
  • Service is top-notch; the staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's got a great selection of drinks, including some refreshing summer specials that add a fun twist to the experience.
  • The decor and overall aesthetic are smashing, with beautiful seating and lighting that make the place feel sophisticated yet inviting.
Areas for Improvement
  • The menu can be a bit on the pricey side, so it might not be ideal for everyday visits – best saved for when you're treating yourself.
  • Some dishes, like the lobster, might not be everyone's cup of tea, as they can be a tad tricky to handle or not quite live up to expectations.
  • The music can get fairly loud, which adds to the lively feel but might make it hard to chat if you're after a quieter evening.

92/100
The Posh Boys Bar in Wickford is a cracking little spot – think top-notch drinks, live tunes, and a warm, welcoming vibe that makes it perfect for a relaxed catch-up or a fun night with friends.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They've got a fantastic selection of locally brewed beers, craft spirits, and premium wines, all at reasonable prices.
  • Live music every Friday night is an absolute treat – it's lively and creates a brilliant atmosphere for a night out.
  • Regular events like quiz nights on Thursdays and karaoke with fun prizes keep things exciting and give you plenty of reasons to return.
  • The new food menu of small plates is spot on for sharing with mates, and it's available from Tuesday to Thursday evenings.
  • It's conveniently located near the train station and bus routes, making it easy to pop in after work or a day out.
Areas for Improvement
  • The bar seems to have inconsistent operating hours, with some days closing earlier than you'd expect, which might disrupt plans for a late one.
  • As a smaller venue, it can get quite cosy during busy events, so if you're after a quiet spot, it might feel a bit packed at times.
  • While the food menu is new and promising, it's only on offer a few evenings a week, so options are limited if you're there at other times.

The Loft in Basildon is a cracking nightclub with top DJs and a warm, friendly buzz, but watch out for the strict rules that could cramp your style.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The DJs are absolutely brilliant, mixing up fantastic theme nights that keep the energy high and the crowd buzzing.
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • It's conveniently located near the station, making it easy to pop over for a night out without any hassle.
  • The atmosphere is lively and full of great vibes, with live entertainment and a late licence for those epic nights.
  • They've got some cool facilities like HD screens and an outside area, plus a rewards app that adds a nice touch for regulars.
Areas for Improvement
  • The entry policies can be a bit too strict, with bouncers turning people away for seemingly minor reasons, which might spoil the fun.
  • It's only open a couple of nights a week, so options are limited if you're looking for a midweek outing.
  • There's a call for more big events to liven things up, as some folks feel it's missing out on drawing bigger crowds.
  • The dress code is quite rigid—no joggers or hats—which might put off those wanting a more relaxed evening.
  • No one under 18 is allowed, and last entry is at 1am, so it might not suit everyone planning a full night.

The Gun Pub in Pitsea is a welcoming spot with friendly vibes, tasty grub, and handy event spaces, though it has a few niggles like incomplete finishes and costs that could add up.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home from the moment you walk in.
  • They serve up delicious, wholesome pub food with a good mix of traditional and modern options, perfect for a satisfying meal.
  • It's got a relaxed and cosy atmosphere that's great for catching up with mates, families, or even business travellers.
  • The function room is a brilliant spot for private events like birthdays or gatherings, with easy access and outdoor areas for a breather.
  • With a solid 4.4 rating from plenty of visitors, it's clear this place knows how to deliver a good time overall.
Areas for Improvement
  • Some areas, like the function rooms, might not be fully finished yet, which could put a slight dampener on things.
  • Events and larger bookings can get a bit pricey, so it's worth budgeting carefully if you're planning something special.
  • There might be the odd bit of background music or events happening that disrupt a peaceful pint, depending on the day.
  • It's not everyone's idea of a go-to local, as a couple of folks have noted it feels more like a handy stop rather than a favourite haunt.

The Darby Digger in Wickford is a welcoming pub serving up hearty carvery and fresh pizzas with some brilliant deals, though it's not without the odd slip-up in quality or service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The food here is generally spot on, especially the carvery and those stone-baked pizzas – they're made with fresh dough and come out piping hot, offering great value for a family meal out.
  • The staff are an absolute delight; from what I've heard, they're super attentive and go the extra mile, like giving an extra sausage or looking after families with young ones.
  • They've got some cracking deals, like 50% off pizzas and burgers, plus that Stonehouse Rewards app where you can collect stamps for free meals – it's a proper treat for regulars.
  • It's a family-friendly spot with plenty of options for veggies and vegans, and they're all about supporting the local community by letting you vote on charities to help.
Areas for Improvement
  • Food quality can be hit or miss; some folks have mentioned dry veggies or rock-hard Yorkshire puddings, which is a shame when you're looking forward to a proper roast.
  • There might be waits for your meal, even if it's not too busy, as one review noted it taking a while for drinks and food to arrive.
  • Meat options on the carvery aren't always what you'd expect – like no beef on certain days because of costs, so you could end up with just gammon and turkey.
  • It seems like service and offerings can vary, with a couple of underwhelming experiences mixed in among the positives, so it might not be perfect every visit.

The Crane is a welcoming neighbourhood pub in Basildon with a lively vibe for sports and drinks, but watch out for inconsistent service and the lack of proper grub.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in.
  • It's got a brilliant atmosphere, especially for watching live sports like the Euros or karaoke nights – perfect for a fun evening with mates.
  • They've got cracking deals on drinks all the time, like pints for under £4, which makes it a wallet-friendly spot.
  • Loads of great amenities, including Sky Sports, TNT Sports, and even being dog-friendly, so you can bring the pup along.
  • It's a proper neighbourhood pub in Basildon, easy to get to and ideal for a relaxed catch-up or a lively weekend vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • Service can be hit or miss; some folks have had rude experiences, especially with bookings or when the place gets busy.
  • No proper food on offer, just snacks, which might leave you a bit peckish if you're after a full meal.
  • It can get quite loud at times, with strong language flying about, so it's not always the quietest spot for a chat.
  • Limited sports coverage, like only showing the Premier League, which might disappoint fans of other teams.
  • Not many discounts or loyalty perks, which feels a shame when you're a regular dropping in.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely lovely and welcoming, always going the extra mile to make you feel right at home – think friendly faces like Mary and Kelli who really know how to host.
  • It's a brilliant spot for events and gatherings, whether it's a baby celebration, a gig, or a lively night with live bands; they let you set up just how you like it.
  • Drink prices are spot on and very reasonable, so you won't break the bank while enjoying a pint or two.
  • The atmosphere is buzzing, especially with regular live music and bands that get everyone up and dancing – it's got that real community vibe.
Areas for Improvement
  • The opening hours look a bit muddled from what's listed, which might leave you scratching your head about when to pop in.
  • There's no website to check out, so it could be tricky to get the latest details or plan ahead without giving them a ring.
  • While most folks rave about it, one review suggests it's good but not quite perfect, perhaps hinting that the experience can vary a tad depending on the day.

Pros and Cons
What's Great

Areas for Improvement

The Downham Arms is a welcoming pub in Wickford that's spot on for a relaxed meal and a catch-up with friends, boasting friendly vibes and tasty grub, though do keep an eye on that parking situation.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, always chatting and smiling, which makes you feel right at home.
  • The food is a real highlight – think delicious flame-grilled dishes like top-notch mac n cheese, fish and chips, and that amazing chocolate fudge cake that's worth every bite.
  • It's super family-friendly and even dog-friendly, perfect for bringing the whole gang along without any fuss.
  • A great spot for watching live sports, with fixtures for things like the Women's Euros and rugby tours, plus amenities like Sky Sports and WiFi to keep everyone entertained.
  • Overall, it's clean, well-maintained, and offers good value for money, making it an affordable choice for a casual outing.
Areas for Improvement
  • There have been some grumbles about parking fines in the car park, which can really put a dampener on your visit if you're not careful.
  • Portion sizes can sometimes disappoint, like paying a bit extra for chips that don't quite live up to expectations.
  • While most experiences are positive, the odd review mentions service or food hiccups, so it might not be flawless every time.

Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are incredibly friendly and welcoming, making you feel right at home as soon as you walk in
  • They've got fantastic live bands playing on weekends, which really livens up the place and creates a buzzing atmosphere
  • There's a massive beer garden out back, ideal for soaking up the sun or sheltering from a light shower, plus a cosy one out front
  • Drinks are reasonably priced, so you won't break the bank enjoying a pint or two
  • It's fully wheelchair accessible with a ramp and plenty of space, and they've got a solid menu with an impressive range of gluten-free dishes
Areas for Improvement
  • It seems to be more of a traditional drinkers' spot, so if you're after a fancy meal, it might not quite hit the mark
  • Their online presence is a bit lacking – the website's not working properly, which makes it tricky to check details before heading out
  • The operating hours can look a tad confusing from what's listed, but it generally stays open late, so it's worth double-checking if you're planning a visit

The Quays is a welcoming pub in Basildon that's great for relaxed meals and sport-watching, with friendly staff and good value grub, though it has a few niggles with group service.
Pros and Cons
What's Great
  • The staff are absolutely brilliant – from what I've heard, they're super friendly and attentive, making you feel right at home with their warm service.
  • The food is spot on; hearty, tasty dishes at great prices, like those 'Tuck in for a tenner' deals that let you enjoy a proper meal without breaking the bank.
  • It's a family-friendly spot with nice facilities, including a great outside area perfect for summer drinks and watching the live sport on big screens.
  • The atmosphere is lively and welcoming, especially if you're into sports – they show all the major events, making it a fun place to catch up with mates.
Areas for Improvement
  • Serving large groups can be a bit of a faff, as some folks have mentioned issues with delays and not quite meeting expectations when there's a big crowd.
  • Table arrangements might not always be ideal; one person noted an awkward setup for a party, which could make things a tad uncomfortable.
  • The app for ordering has its quirks – it's handy, but it didn't quite work smoothly for everyone, leading to a few frustrations here and there.

  • The seating is super comfy with plenty of space, perfect for a relaxed chat or watching the game.
Areas for Improvement
  • The bouncers can come across as aggressive and seem to provoke folks unless you're with family, which puts a damper on the entrance.
  • It feels a bit unwelcoming with the searches at the door, almost like you're heading to an airport rather than a cosy pub.
  • The beer selection could do with more variety, as it's not quite as extensive as you'd hope.
  • Sometimes the atmosphere slips back to its old ways, with a rough edge that might leave you feeling uneasy.

  • Food quality isn't always consistent – some dishes might come out undercooked or not quite right, as we've heard from a few experiences.
  • Technical issues, such as problems with card machines or toasters, can crop up and disrupt things, even if they're sorted out quickly.
