Jellied eels are a traditional Essex and East End speciality: chopped eels set in a savoury stock jelly and long linked with local fish markets.
Pie, mash and liquor is an Essex favourite of minced beef pie with mashed potato and parsley sauce, tied to working-class food culture in the region.
Established Indian restaurant serving curries, tandoori dishes and takeaway favourites in a relaxed town-centre setting.
