Had a work meal out booked with Grand Central only it's not called that anymore it's now a burger place. Obviously I was very disappointed as I had looked at the grand central menu and was looking forward to a certain meal. When getting a confirmation email saying our table was booked it was not stated that the name was changed. Service was very slow. We waited 30 minutes to be served drinks from arrival and waited another 20 minutes for them to be delivered to the table. I would understand if it was busy but it wasn't. There was no room to put coats and bags at the tables and I had a party of 8 people so we ended up putting our belongings on the floor. It's a shame as we were all looking forward to this night out. Wont be booking there again.

Absolutely vile

My daughter had suggested going for my husbands birthday as she had been two weeks previous at lunch time and said the food was good. Six of us turned up 45 mins early of our booking for 8.30. It was near on empty so we were sat down straight away. Part of the restaurant had no tables or chairs first thought reno second they are shutting down. Orders for drinks taken then shortly after for food. We had two portions of the nachos thinking that would be enough for the six of us. No it wasn't and the £2.00 addons like chilli etc was in a tiny pot probably not even 10pence worth. Mains husband ordered burger no mustard came with mustard. Daughter asked for no fre fried beans in her burrito but the three of us who got a burrito also didn't get refried beans just rice falafel and a tiny bit of I think was coleslaw. Over all very disappointing especially for a Saturday night. If closing down can see why. I've given 3 stars for the service although the young girl was OK she did take the order.

Great food

Had to send back orange juice as the presumption was we wanted ice in it however this was no issue what so ever. Portions were great, weren’t initially given a kids menu until we ordered but not a big issue

Popped in to have breakfast with a friend before the Essex Air Ambulance charity ride. Easy to find, good parking where we could see the bikes, and friendly staff. The breakfast was very good, with the best hash browns outside the USA. A large pot of tea and some good buttered toast set us both up for the ride. Already recommended it to the Pier Master at Harwich!
