The Labworth - Castle Point

I was pleasantly surprised by how good this restaurant is. Located on Canvey seafront, the views from the art deco-style building were lovely. The staff was attentive, the food was very good, and all five of us enjoyed our meals. The service was just right, and I particularly enjoyed the Skate dish, which can be difficult to prepare correctly. The portion sizes were just right as well.

I highly recommend this restaurant. The food was exceptional. I had previously been hesitant to order steak due to past bad experiences at other restaurants, but I decided to give it another try. I ordered the fillet steak cooked rare and it was absolutely amazing. It was the best steak I have ever had, and I have had many steaks in my lifetime. It was cooked perfectly. I was part of a party of 12 and everyone was extremely pleased with the food and the attentive staff. Special thanks to the waitress with the distinctive shoes and Lorraine. Thank you to Steve, his wife (apologies for not remembering your name), and the kitchen staff for making my father's 90th birthday celebration so special. Rich Adams.

We had been wanting to book this restaurant for about a year, and finally had our meal on August 4th. The views were fantastic, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were looking for. The lady who greeted us was extremely friendly and made us feel welcome. She helped us pick our table, gave us our menus, and allowed us time to look at the drinks menu before taking our order. The steak I had was one of the best I've had in a long time, and it was cooked perfectly. Despite some comments about portion size, I can assure you that you won't go hungry here. The staff were friendly and attentive, and we never felt rushed. While they don't have a fancy website, word of mouth is their best advertisement. Give this place a try, you won't be disappointed.

I’m a chef,one of the world’s finest. I create recipes and concepts that would amaze anyone. I like to travel around the world to feed my beautifully crafted, delicious brain. I came to canvey island after a chef in Paris (Pholippe de la mearde) told me about this place and how he had a very ordinary experience here. I was greeted with the respect that I deserve from commoners and was shown to my table. The table next to mine was quite close to mine and I overheated with excitement when I heard their conversation.they were talking about their food she was explaining how much she enjoyed the sausage and he was telling her that he was going to smother her in sauce with his sausage when they got back to their bed sit. I went ahead and ordered some food. When my scotch egg arrived,I was dazzled by its magnificence,it looked like something that I had created….PERFECT! The side effects were pleasing and the side salad looked like it had been created by Colin van Clunt (a chef I know from Vladivostok)…..FRESH !! The staff were all very attractive (attentive) and catered for all of my bizarre needs,one memorable member of the brigade escorted me to the toilets and showed me how to use a “urinal “ as I had never seen or used one before. My puddle (probably pudding) was very attractive (like me) and it tasted as good as something even I could produce. It was 2 perfectly square spheres of ice cream,one chocolate and one not chocolate and it had a green sauce expertly dumped over it that tasted like a mixture of mint and veal….STUNNING! The bill was also very pleasant,the manager recognised me from the television and took 79 p off my meal.such a great show of respect and humility. I left feeling like I could walk on water !! (I can’t because I tried that one when I thought I was god and sunk like a rock). WONDERFUL MEAL

Food was very good, rather expensive, I asked to use the toilet, but was told I need to use the one in the car park, unacceptable
