Saxon King - Southend-on-Sea

If I had gone alone or with a couple of friends to Saxon King and had my scampi and a glass of orange juice, I'm sure I would have had a perfectly good time. The food was good, the surroundings are pleasant and so were the young staff. Unfortunately, we were a big party. The service was glacially slow, quite a few items were missing and there were complaints about the roast dinners. I think the management were wrong to accept a booking for twelve on a Sunday lunchtime if they didn't have the staff to cope. That said, the prices are very reasonable. The members of the party who split the bill had two or three courses and an alcoholic drink for £25.

Disabled parking available, however limited, with an accessible entrance. Disabled toilet and changing facilities available. A nice atmosphere with very helpful and friendly staff whom were attentive. The food were well cooked and flavoursome, with the chicken buttermilk burger being juicy and complimented with a delicious chicken gravy. The desserts were large portions and also tasty. Service were quick and polite too. A loss of a star as the gents toilet urinals were non functional at the time and backed up, creating an unpleasant odor. Would definitely return for another meal. Edit: Have returned and was consistent in taste and portion size. Would continue to recommend.

Service was amazing and the garden area was beautiful. The burgers were a little dry but it wasn't a major issue we just left them and ordered the yummy brownie and ice cream. The rest of the meals were cooked well. Our server Danielle was incredibly attentive and couldn't do more even helping the kids outside when a pub umbrella got blown out of the table and was upside down. Thank you for a lovely afternoon

The whole food was delicious! the employees were very friendly and the waitress went out of her to make sure that both the adults and the children in our group were satisfied. I really appreciate someone who speaks directly to my seven-year-old because he feels like an estimated customer

Booked for 1300 arrived early on the afternoon, wanted a drink in the bar area first, but shown to it area immediately not a big problem bur always happened. good service, table staff always under pressure, but always smile and work very hard beautiful to see empty glasses from the table deleted need more personal eating always from a good standard never a catastrophe!
