Came here with my fam for the Sunday roast. While my group didn't have much to complain about, there wasn't much to praise either. I'd say the service was noticeably better than the food....ahhh the food. The food. Well, I was most definitely disappointed. Knowing that we would only get one Sunday Roast dinner, I had been desperately looking forward to this meal... unfortunately it fell flat, real flat. Yorkshire - looked nice and large, but it was pretty flavorless The meats-opted for the pork and beef. One piece of the pork was EXTREMELY dry, and the other was just regular dry. The beef, not so much dry, but both were lacking flavor -even with the watery gravy. Both were a let down. The sides-The roast potatoes were the highlight, I only wished there were more. The sweet carrot puree was decent, however I definitely would have preferred to have them glazed whole. The cabbage was also nice, but it was just boiled cabbage. The stuffing, if you could call it that, was more meaty than stuffing like. It had decent flavor but the texture was just odd to me. I'd say the customer service was a 4 star but, it wasn't good enough to bring the food up from a 2. Therefore I'd have to give it a 2.5 stars. If you're coming specifically for the roast, maybe try elsewhere.

There are so many amazing hidden gems in Essex, and Russell's Restaurant is one of them…read more The building dates back to 1372, and is a converted barn. Before it was a restaurant, it was a woodshed, where my grandfather would go to buy wood. The restaurant has kept some of the original features, like the beams and high vaulted ceiling, which gives it a very rustic feel. The food is mostly French inspired, but mostly locally sourced (something I always like to see!) For my starter, I had the seared king scallops, which were served with a pea and asparagus compote, black pudding and black truffle oil. Scallops are one of my favourite things, and if it's on a menu it's a pretty safe bet that I'll be ordering it. These, in my opinion, were perfect - which is very high praise, as scallops are really easy to get wrong. These were perfectly seared and crisp on the outside, but really juicy inside - not at all stringy (which is the worst!) and the combination of asparagus, black pudding and truffle oil was divine. My dinner date had the chicken liver parfait, a pate served on toasted brioche with a sultana and sauternes jus. This was followed by a main course of duck - a seared Gressingham duck breast served with duck rillette bon bons, roasted pommes de cocotte potato and sauteed pak choi with cumberland jus. The duck was beautifully cooked, and the meat was meltingly tender. For my main course, I went for the Tournedos Rossini, served medium rare. The aged fillet of Aberdeen Angus beef was served on top of a potato and parsnip rosti, and was topped with seared foie gras, baby spinach, truffle oil and a wild mushroom jus. Basically, it was a whole list of my favourite ingredients on top of one another, and it was delicious. The flavours were delectable, and the whole dish was presented impeccably. After dinner I went for a coffee followed by a coconut and Malibu pannacotta topped with toasted coconut and sweet candied pineapple. The standard of the food and service is really impressive - and the venue has a lot of character, and for the quality of the meal, the price is really quite reasonable.
