The Essex Grill- Kebab & Burgers

Upminster's burger scene has a serious contender in The Essex Grill- Kebab & Burgers, a spot that locals quietly rave about. With a spotless Food Hygiene Rating and a reputation built on proper, no-fuss cooking, this is the kind of place that understands the beauty of a perfectly smashed patty and a soft, toasted bun. It's not trying to reinvent the wheel—just serve wheels that taste brilliant.

The menu leans into classic territory, but the execution is where it shines. Think juicy, charred burgers stacked with fresh lettuce, ripe tomato, and a slick of their signature sauce, all wrapped up in a warm bun. The chips come crisp and golden, the kind that demand a good dunk in ketchup or mayo. Whether you're ordering a classic cheeseburger or something with a bit more fire, every bite lands. They deliver across Upminster, so when that burger craving hits, they've got you covered.
