Ss8 - Castle Point

The food at this restaurant was okay, but unfortunately I received a parking ticket. I had my badge, which would have allowed me to park for free across the road. I was unaware that the small concrete space next to the pub was a paid parking area. Despite forums advising me to ignore it, I now have court costs of £175 for a disappointing night in a mediocre place that I traveled 30 miles to get to. I won't be returning. The parking situation feels like a scam.

A group of about 40 of us went there for a meal to say farewell to a friend. The food was excellent and the service was good. The surroundings were very relaxed. As this establishment is also a Cocktail Lounge the drinks were a bit on the pricy side. Nice comfortable seating but Car Parking is expensive and the company which run the Car Park are far too quick to issue tickets. I was 3 minutes late leaving and they hit me for £100 PCN. Total thieves. My advice would be to park in Lubbins School Car Park which is a 2 minute walk away.

Had a fantastic night at Estuary views with my fiance. Service was quick and food was fresh and delicious. Amount of food for money was great. Plus had a Michael Bublé tribute singer on who was pleasantly good and an added bonus. Plus the wine is the best by far. Will be coming back again. Great date night.

No longer called SS8 and is now known as Estuary View Taken completely by surprise have been frequenting Canvey for many years and didn't know this existed.it is situated on the upper floor of the Monico public house. Staff are exceptionally helpful and service brilliant.Food and drinks are exceptional value.Decor and seating very very good with lovely view over the coastline will certainly visit again Sunday roast supported by ample various vegetables The only drawback is the stairs (about 20)leading up to restuarant

I visited this restaurant for a meal with friends in December 2017 and was really looking forward to it after reading all the good reviews. However I actually can't believe I dined at the same place. The food was at best bland and average, and at worst completely inedible. The garlic mushroom starter was straight from a freezer and rock hard. The prawn linguine was tasteless. My friend had the vegetable soup which was akin to liquid grass, and the roast beef which was completely inedible the Yorkshire was rock solid, the beef was as tough as a boot, and the potatoes appeared to be covered in a thick layer of salt. Dessert was probably the highlight of the meal but to be honest no better than what you could pick up in a supermarket. To make matters worse the service was absolutely shocking. We sat down at 8, starters arrived at 9.10. Nobody came to ask if everything was satisfactory (maybe they knew what our answer would be). Things were thrown down in front of us as if the waiting staff were fed up. Not once were we approached to ask if we wanted any more drinks other than the one served on arrival. One member of our party didn't receive her main until we had all finished, and then her dessert went missing too. There was no approach from management, and nothing by way of a proper apology or an explanation. I definitely cannot recommend this place I seriously struggle to understand how anyone could.
