The Magic Mushroom in Billericay near Barleylands serves REALLY great food and is very well thought of... but the lay out lacks character. Building is just wrong shape. Can't fault the food though. Amazing.

The Bear in Stock near Billericay is good.. ok food, great setting. Lovely place. Food not as good as the other two though.

Hope that helps.

Let me know if you can't get into any of them mate.
