Food By John Lawson - Leigh-on-Sea

If I could give 5 stars I would. Definitely my favourite restaurant, food is amazing. Highly recommended this place.

I have eaten here a couple of times and have been totally blown away by the food on both occasions. It 's a 'no menu ' restaurant but you are guaranteed to eat around 7 courses of exquisite food. The chef only uses locally sourced ingredients so they 're always super fresh. Everything he cooks is dairy, sugar and gluten free and you can order the vegan taster menu without any fuss. As everything is locally sourced, the menu regularly changes with the season so its worth going more than once. Highly recommended would give this 5 stars if I could.

This restaurant is no longer listed on the website.

We had a lovely meal. There was a mix up with our booking so we had to wait 45 minutes and there was no cheese left at the end of our meal. This was a shame as all the courses were superb and staff good. We have already recommended for our friends to make a booking and we hope to return soon.

Great concept but food was ok. At this price point and brand placement I was expecting a restaurant aspiring to a Michelin guide audience. This isn't close in my opinion (Its my review after all), cool cabbage several ways didn't do it for me but the wine pairings were great. Top quality dining shouldn't automatically mean tiny portions but these were, and on their way to plain mean (one oyster, thumb sized portions etc). As the cliché goes, I had to eat again on the way home.......
