Essex Marina - Rochford

Whilst out for a walk at the nearby RSPB reserve we stumbled across The Wardroom for a welcome coffee. As the food menu looked very enticing, we went back for lunch after finishing our walk. The food and beer were excellent! Also live music was there on a Saturday afternoon. A great find, we will be back.

Went with a few friends for drinks which is a really nice spot for drinks however when a friend asked about the gluten free options was greeted with a comment of “she must know what she can have”. This put a downer on the drinks and after one drink we left due to myself feeling very unwelcome and uncomfortable by this comment. I don’t believe they had any alternatives. Some of the group ate and the food did look really good but not ideal for any allergens.

Lucy looked after us so well, superb food (some of the best mussels I have had), and savage banter..

Spent an afternoon watching a band and had a really nice time in the company of like minded people. The staff were friendly and attentive prices not too bad either

Place was miserable, now to add to the disappointment unless a marina berth holder you must pay to park here, and its not cheap. Had a drink then left without food.
