Absolutely amazing! We came here for a birthday dinner originally. One year later we decided to do our post wedding sit down 3 course meal here where we hired the back of the restaurant for our post wedding celebrations. Everything was perfect, everyone commented on how good the food was. Excellent service and food, could not have been happier.
Special thank you to Danielle and her team. We will be sure to be back very soon or probably on our 1st wedding anniversary. Love Claudia & James x
My fiance and I tried this restaurant for the first time today, the food was beautiful. The restaurant had a lovely atmosphere and the staff were fantastic. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend the desserts!

I nice little gem... Service was very good not overpowering. But there in the background.
Good choice of wines and beer. Starters were very tasty and a good selection.. I felt the duck terainwas slightly to cold which made the duck skin leaving a fatty lineing in the mouth.. But the scallops and the salmon were amazing and so fresh... The skate wing for main was beautiful and cooked so we'll. The fillet steak was cooked to perfection and my wife enjoyed it.. The lamb was cooked well and very tasty. Most probably the best lamb rack I have had in a long time... Deserts the strawberry crumble creme brulee was stunning best desert in years.... The almond frangipane lovely.. White chocolate pana cotta very well made smooth and melt in the mouth...
The orange custard tart we unfortunately found very disappointing. We coujd not taste any orange to the tart and also the overpowering taste and smell of eggs was not nice. We did mention this to the waiting staff. And they went and spoke with the chef. And came back and offered us a replacement allternitive desert. Very impressed.
My only other comment is that when we arrived my daughter had requested a quiet part of the restaurant in booking the table as I have health issues with my hearing. And when we arrived we had a lovely table nice and quiet. But unfortunately as we were starting are starters a table of 13_15 people were put next to us.. They were obviously celebrateing something and we're in high spirits and very noisy as they were all talking at once. Which was off putting.
And affected me communicating with my family.
But to some up good disabled access and good parking with lovely clean toilets. I woukd recommend this lovely restaurant.....
What a find, The Magic Mushroom had it all.
Stopped for a romantic lunch date.
We had the Devon Crab and King Scallops to start, followed by the Raman Panko Egg and Guinea Fowl for main from the A La Carte menu.
Each dish was beautifully presented and tasted devine.
The service was exceptional. The front of house team managed that beautiful balance of attentive and engaging, whilst still allowing our privacy to enjoy our meal.
We also enjoyed their cocktails and virgin cocktails (with me being nominated driver).
Overall an exceptional experience, we will be returning.
Bravo 'The Magic Mushroom'
Lovely dining experience. Food was great with good selection.
My first visit, wife's 3rd.
I was impressed with set meal price (Friday night) £32.50 (3course)as the quality of food was excellent, service was good, my one quibble was price of wine, for what was a very average Rioja, it's noticeable that there are no wine prices on website, probably wise, overall a very good evening, and clearly popular as by 8pm it was very busy, would definitely concider using again.
Great Sunday lunch. Ambience was superb with a good crowd. We love the beef slices, cooked to perfection the way we liked it.
Had an absolutely outstanding evening on Friday 28th October. Service was top notch from the moment we entered, friendly, professional and not over bearing. The food was superb. Starters of King scallop and pigeon. Great taste and presentation. Mains were also outstanding - stuffed Sole and Chicken ballotine. Complemented by good wines and a cocktail to finish. The restaurant was very roomy, nice background music and all in all a great evening.
Our 2 children took us to the Magic Mushroom for our joint 60th birthday on 25/02. From the moment we entered, the service was spot on, very attentive without being overbearing. Subtle and tasteful decor.
The food was exceptional, good size plates of delicious food and tasty drinks, including a good vegan menu.
Being Billericay residents for almost 40 years, we can’t quite work out why we’ve never been before, however during Covid we had a ‘takeaway’, for a birthday meal, which was brilliant, so we’re really glad that we’ve finally sampled this gem and we will be returning. Will recommend.
Food was absolutely fantastic, although service was a little slow. Would have had a issue if they had insisted on us vacating the table after 2 hours!
