First time to visit and it was great. The food and family service was great. The seabass and fillet steak were brilliant and the kids loved theirs especially the spaghetti. Would definitely visit again, and reasonably priced.

We had an enjoyable lunch at the 'spirits tasting ' event, the starter was particularly good. We were given a voucher as a gift and had not previously dined at Haywards. We enjoyed the fixed lunch menu and the presentation from Adam representing Essex Spirits. However, we would have preferred a wine tasting experience as we rarely drink spirits.
