We had an enjoyable lunch at the 'spirits tasting ' event, the starter was particularly good. We were given a voucher as a gift and had not previously dined at Haywards. We enjoyed the fixed lunch menu and the presentation from Adam representing Essex Spirits. However, we would have preferred a wine tasting experience as we rarely drink spirits.

Lunch with friends who travel extensively and are visiting the UK. Before coming to Haywards they tried a new restaurant at a top London hotel and were disappointed, but said Haywards was far better and very impressive. We all enjoyed the creative and delicious food and the excellent service by the delightful front of house team. Relaxing ambience made it a wonderful day. Thank you Haywards!

Fantastic meal - beautifully presented and fabulous flavours. Best soufflés we’ve ever had - Banana with Rum caramel - stunning! Certainly deserves at least one Michelin Star!
