HULLBRIDGE KING — Restaurant in Rochford

I'll start with this: the last lot to own and operate this shop were a very tough act to follow. Almost unfair to whomever followed.

The previous owners operated in that unique space between 'kebab shop' and 'Turkish restaurant' and all their stuff was amazing – real 'secret sauce stuff' when it came to their meat.

Having tried this new shop's offerings (to be fair) just once, I'd say what we got is aligned back towards what you'd expect from an out-and-out kebab shop.

We ordered what we used to order from the previous owners, and it just wasn't the same.

I don't want to denigrate a brand-new business just starting out, so please take this review with a pinch of salt as things will probably change as the business matures. But for us, the unique selling point and the reason why we used to buy from this shop on a weekly basis has gone. So for us, it's time to mourn the passing of what was and move on to try and find something to replace it.

To end on a positive though, if you enjoy honest to goodness kebab shop food, you'll probably be just fine here. Good luck to the new owners and I hope you make a big...
