Danes The Pumphouse

We visited here after a bike ride we had a sausage sandwich each which was okay but not hot. The ladies were lovely service was quick.

Friendly service and great breakfast at our local cafe. Poached eggs on toast good price. Large breakfast husband had was good, don't know how he ate it all.

Nice little place for a proper fry up. Friendly service, fast efficient and pragmatic since there was a dozen of us turning up at different times it was exactly what was needed. Decent quality bacon and sausages. Cheap, too. Thanks and we will be...back!

This place looks a bit tatty but I had a pleasant lunch here . I had a hot salt beef and gherkin Babette and it was very tasty. At I felt it was good value for money. The staff could be a bit friendlier...and less interested in their own loud conversations, but overall not a bad place for a quick bite.

Been here on occasions and what the place lacks in atmosphere and sophistication it makes up with with the food's quality, value, taste and flavour. The chef is a friendly and often asks you personally how you want your food cooked. By day this...restaurant is a sandwich bar bistro but its run by different people at night and can highly recommend it even though the cost of their course menu has risen to (from which was underpriced) it still represents great value and having eaten out in Essex (and elsewhere) I challenge anyone to find a better value for money sit down restaurant meal.

We have visited here before and the food is amazing. The menu changes regularly and includes things like home made chicken liver pate, smoked salmon and home made soup for starters. Main meals can be the tenderest medallions of beef I've ever tasted, herb crusted...lamb and cous cous stuffed peppers. Desserts are not to be missed with chocolate fondant which is warm and served with berries, lemon tart and berries in amaretto. It is a small place which only seats a maximum of around people but this just adds to the ambience as it is a personal service. They didn't have a certain wine on my last visit but I have had a call to tell me they now have it that is good service x

Went in for the first time so didnt know the protocol (table or counter service etc) so initially I went up to the counter about to ask one of the staff if I should sit down or order up there but before I even got...a word out she very rudely looked at me like i was a piece of excrement on her shoe and abruptly said No! Order down there Pointing to the other end of the counter (which was quite a way from the main entrance). I tried to bring the situation back by saying in my cheeriest voice oh yes thats just what I was going to ask but i felt that horrible bile rising up feeling you get after someone's been rude to you and in the end I lost my appetite and decided to leave. I got back to my...

Sat waiting to be served while a member of staff sat eating in the general area. She didn't acknowledge our presence. To top that, with a face that says you have a month to live and I forgot to tell you three weeks ago is...not what you want to be greeted with. However the other girls sort of made it easier. However I would be reluctant to class this as value for money. It's not bad but it's not worth the money it cost. When you eat out you like to be treated a bit special. Of I want to wait an eternity and have attitude I can eat at home. Guys and girls, You need to step up the anti. Then to serve food up after an in reasonable wait its wrong. Won't be rushing back. As it's a bit out the wa...

My family and I have eaten here on several occasions and have been impressed every time. We ate there when it had first opened and could not have been happier with the overall experience. The food was incredible and the service was wonderful. We most...recently dined here on Valentines day. They were offering a course set menu starting with a Kir Royale on arrival. Unfortunately when my husband and I arrived we were greeted with Prosecco which was very nice but not what we were expecting. We did mention it to the waitress and it was rectified immediately and generously they left us with the Prosecco too. The waitress then took our order but told us that the soup that was on the menu was no l...
