The Outback restaurant in Basildon is OK, Little Hammonds in Ingatestone is OK (but expensive), Russells in Great Baddow is OK (but expensive), The Honeypot (Brewsters in Basildon) is sometimes OK but a bit boring. The Headley Arms in Great Warley (carvery) is OK as long as you take your own gravy and avoid obvious problems foods.
