The Rose - Southend-on-Sea

Popular in for a lunch, was pleasantly surprised eating was good and cheap. the best chips I had for a long time! will be definitiw back

For the free fireworks and the most important fish and chip places were really busy, but a table for 8 of us here without problems. most had fish and chips and were impressed that the fish perfectly cooked, beautiful and...flaky and the dough was really light, chips smaller than chip shop, but well cooked and delicious, my daughter had the torte and it was a real disc of homemade cakes that they werewolfing. the staff was very friendly and chatting with the children, service was fast and efficient.

Relaxing small restaurant with excellent, friendly service and good eating. the traditional fish and chips were well cooked and of good proportion. I have to say that the institutions were somewhat basic, although for their purpose it seems perfectly sufficient to be a work. but the whole experience was pleasing and in harmony with the southend vibe. I would definitely visit again.

Of a beautiful young man. Eating was okay. no trace and trace, no handsanitiser glad I had my own, no social distancing was glad to get out of there. I was suddenly surrounded by a four-headed family and had to move, could hardly get my chair out. no place 2 meters! the young waiter helped us bring our food and drinks to another table.

We went into Rose Restaurant for fish and chips, what a mistake the place is extremely shabby, the choice of fish was either cod or plaice, fishcakes or scampi. We were told that all the fish was fresh and the chips home made so in...spite of the appearance of the place we ordered cod and chips and a Childs meal. When the food arrived the fish was ok but I really wasn't sure if it was Cod or Plaice it looked like cod but tasted of plaice obviously cooked in oil that had been overused. The chips were frozen and the peas were tinned and cold. I used the toilet upstairs which was dirty with a broken window in the cubicle and there were bird feathers on the floor. The only good thing was that the 2 young girls serving were very pleasant but on the whole we paid £25.00 for food that was well below standard I would be very interested to know what the food hygiene department thought of the toilets
