Absolutely amazing just pulled in here on my own. Ordered a stake burger which was out of this world. The young witness was fantastic and welcoming don't want to ask her name as mite come across weird. And to finish it off I had a home made Terry chocolate orange cheese cake. I'm 100% heading back soon.

Lovely pub restaurant. We recently had the Gammomn Egg & Chips and home made Lasagne both really tasty and hit the spot with a hit of alfresco dining. Good food and readonably priced. Friendly staff.

This is the second time I have been to this restaurant, both times I?ve had a steak and it was outstanding.But both times the dessert has been a let down.Homemade waffles served warm would be far better than a cold hard waffle served with ice cream .

Very nice location, a taste of the true Essex, very friendly crew and extremely nicely cooked food, all fresh ingredients. Congratulations to the young talented Chef.

Great decor and 10/10 for cleanliness.Great service, very friendly staff.Could do with some background music to make it even better

Really enjoyed our meal yesterday. I always enjoy the food there. There?s just something lacking though? The staff are good. I can?t quite put my finger on it. Maybe the music needs to be a little louder? Obviously not blaring. It just doesn?t have the atmosphere. A little like a dining hall. The feeling that you want to talk really quietly and not laugh too loud?Which is a shame as it?s a great building and everything else is good.

I went to Scott's steakhouse last night. The service was very good all though the restaurant wasn't very busy.I personally wouldn't recommend going here, I went for a mid week set menu 3 courses £21 which is a good price.For starters I ordered BBQ chicken wings, the wings were no different from what you would get in weather spoons, just plain chicken wings completely covered in BBQ sauce, not marinated and cooked fresh like you would expect.For a main, I ordered the 8 Oz sirloin, the steak was very average at best and over cooked and the chips were frozen chips.For a main I had a chocolate brownie which was pretty standard.I personally wouldn't recommend going here you could go weather spoons and it would be no different, I would expect more from a restaurant claiming to be a steakhouse.

Must have been a bad chef night looking at the other reviews. I booked a table of seven. The starters were about 40 minute wait. The main course took another hour. Food wasn?t up to the standard I expected looking at previous reviews. The place was empty apart from my party of 7 so i can?t imagine what would have happened if there were other customers. The two individuals serving were very helpful in trying to cover up the totally unacceptable delay in food delivery. Requested the manager and clearly stated my disappointment. I can only hope this was a disaster of a nightmare service. I need to be persuaded to return after a near £300 spend with a group of friends. I look forward to any response from The Old Bell.

Great service from friendly staff. Wide choice on menu. Excellent piece of steak, cooked as requested. Good calamari starter, NOT disguised by massive coating of crumbs. Nice waffle for dessert. Will definitely make return visit, soon.

We have just got home from our date night. Well what can we say the food was terrible.The starter of Nachos was only just passable, my steak was supposed to be without any sauce so they obviously decided to just pour oil/liquid fat all over it, the salad was covered in the same disgusting liquid.My partners Steak & Ale pie looked fantastic on the outside until she investigated inside just gravy, chewy and tasteless meat of some description.When we looked at the choice of deserts it was time to leave.The waitress worked really hard and they don?t deserve her professionalism.A very disappointing visit with an expensive price tag for what we were served.
