The location isn't great it feels it would be more comfortable by the sea but it makes the best of what it has. Inside its very chilled downstairs is lots of comfortable seats and the upstairs too but the upstairs has a charming play area for small children. If you have a few hours to spare this is the place to come in Southend.

It comes with half portion of chips and half portion of salad which consisted of a very tasty homemade coleslaw. To be honest if this was the half portion I can't imagine how massive the full portion would be! Definatly amazing value for money ! Dont even bother checking out the other bistros as this one is all you need to know! Having just arrived from LA I was gagging for a good bit of Essex cooking and you will not be disappointed with the extensive menu choice including a full English breakfast. The staff are amazing, service with a smile and a cheery bit of convo. Will Defo be back to sample other items on the menu.

The fish was just lightly battered which is just how we like it and very flavorful. We highly recommend this place, although the prices are a bit more than the other chip shops in the area.

You know a place has been here forever, when it's filled with old couples having their afternoon tea and has multipul pictures of decade changing signage on the walls. It is split into a restaurant and cafe/icecream bar section. I have just sampled from the cafe side of the restaurant. And it is just what is says on the tin, a huge selection of amazing ice cream sundays. And they are amazing.

It had sauces that tasted of fruit, and pieces of fruit you could recognise, but was properly traditional and even came topped with wafers. Had I been in Southend longer, I would have been tempted to go back and try some of the other sundaes: there's a good selection of traditional and more unusual concoctions. Service was pleasant but unexceptional and the price was reasonable. A good place for ice cream!
