Just reserve a table in advance to avoid disappointment!
No prizes for guessing what they serve at Skewer House in Rochford. Yep, skewers. Portuguese ones, to be precise, known in Portugal as espetada, a typical dish from Madeira consisting of beef skewered onto a bay leaf stick and cooked over hot coals or wood chips. But Skewer House doesn’t just serve beef, as the experienced chefs here also skewer chicken, pork, prawns, vegetables and halloumi cheese (as well as other traditional Portuguese dishes) with regular trips to Billingsgate and Smithfield Markets in London to ensure all the produce is fresh. Skewer House is a family-run restaurant that truly is charming, and you’ll find it on West Street in the very centre of Rochford. Advanced reservations are definitely a good idea.
