Bateman's Tower in Tendring

We visited brightlingsea today. On arrival we went straight to get lunch. Food was a good price and delicious. We had loaded fries and panini and my son had sausage and chips. We later returned and brought buckets and spades, bait for crabbing, more drinks and ice creams throughout the day. After regularly using them throughout day for refreshments we asked if we could have some boiled water to fill a flask for my 5 week old baby for his bottle and they charged us for boiled water! This I feel is disgusting. The café was heaving all day and they must of made a killing but to charge for boiled water has angered me and truly made me think twice about using this café again as I think that is greedy.

Excellent food and drink choices, fantastic value and polite friendly staff, despite it being a very busy day Thank you all - will return!

Really just a hot chocolate stop but so welcome on a cold day. The whole team were so friendly and professional and must have been frozen. Very good spot and look forward to another visit on a warmer day!

Batesmans Is the most amazing café ever .Lisa the most lovely s person you could ever meet she got the most kindest heart and would help anyone out . It a great location right by the beach and good value for money

Best bacon sandwiches, with the best views to enjoy whilst eating them. Very friendly staff and always seem to be happy. Love it.

Best loaded chips I've ever had! Great little cafe service from their van out front, friendly and speedy service.

Always have lunch here when we go to Brightlingsea. Food is freshly prepared and tastes great. Keep up the good work ladies.

pending completion of building works, this restaurant appears to be a burger van now. I had a half-pounder with onions, and, to be fair to them, it wasn't bad. Staff nice and friendly as ever. Bear with them till they re-open, I'm sure it'll be worth the wait.

Let’s be honest…it’s a burger van selling overpriced chips, burgers and fried egg and bacon…..£10.40. For 2 ice lollies an ice cream and a tin of fizzy drink….no COVID practice I could see from the staff…not much food hygiene either to be fair….do your a favour go to the chippy 0.5 miles in the car….absolutely lovely

Lovely location down by the water but operating out of a caravan at the moment while building work on a new complex grinds on - seems to have been going on for a very long time, and it's not an attractive addition to the beach scene at the moment. Fingers crossed that the project will be completed soon, but never got to check out what's on offer as opening hours seemed a little erratic when we visited out of peak season.

Visited here a few days ago, I ordered a sausage baguette and I was shocked at the quality of the sausages. They seemed that of a really cheap sausage, they had a mash potato consistency and not a very good look of quality either. The price I paid was £3 I would have rather paid slightly more for a better quality sausage, I’d hate to think what the pork content was. My partner ordered a burger, I think this was the cheapest thinest burger he’d ever had, apart from that, it was all the fatty hard bits of gristle that finished him off! I asked for a latte, that they advertised, i think they thought I wouldn’t recognised that they gave me a normal coffee and not a latte like I had ordered. Please don’t advertise lattes if you don’t actually serve them. It might be more helpful to let the customer know that you don’t have any, instead of just serving up a watery disgusting normal coffee! Perhaps the lack in quality and the cheaper food item option is in preparation on saving funds to pay for the new build that’s happening, but this lack of food quality has defiantly put us off visiting in the future. Such a shame as the kids loved their ice cream,

On January 1st my wife and I went out looking for some where to have a coffee.Where ever we went normal places were closed.I knew of one place that was sure to be open.Bateman's cafe. Brightlingsea. Sure enough not only were they open it was packed(As usual). The staff were so efficient and pleasant it didn't take long to get our coffee and scone and cream which was delicious.The cooked food coming out of the kitchen also looked very appetising. The prices were also very reasonable. This place is unique in that it has very little indoor seating.Outdoor seating has perspex round to protect from the wind. This place opens no matter what the weather and you have to dress for the weather. You can be sure of a welcome and as such very popular. I have heard that the only day they close is Christmas day. Well worth a visit. It is a pity there are not more like them.

Had a regular cooked English breakfast there after an early start birdwatching just along the track from the cafe. It was amazing value, under £5 and as well as the expected options there was fried bread and bread and butter and a mug of tea. It was so pleasant and friendly we went back in the afternoon before leaving Brightlingsea and had another cuppa and a chunk of bread pudding for £2.50. Amazing and proper , decent mug of tea and bread pudding like my mum used to make to boot! I understand it may be refurbished soon so go now and I hope the service, prices and quality don't change much! Dave

My husband and I visited yesterday - what a wonderful place to enjoy their delicious food. I had the bacon and brie panini which was so reasonable priced. It came up quickly and hot. Tea and coffee reasonably priced too. Service was quick with a smile. 100 per cent recommend you try.

Taking a walk along the water front at Brightlingsea, we came upon Batemans. It was certainly coffee time and the smell of bacon was irresistible. Although October it was a delightful day and we were able to sit outside and take in the glorious view. We all ordered a form of breakfast snack, and teas and coffees. Service was just fine, the food came quickly and it was tasty. It was as you would expect from an English sea side cafe. A very varied menu and fairly priced. Well done.

A great assortment of breakfast, whether you are a big eater or just want something light. Bacon sandwiches are fantastic. Scones are always lovely and fresh with a choice of jams.

Service and food were excellent the ice cream seller was interested in where we were from, he told us they didn't get a lot of tourism from other countries around here very often.

Today I visited Bateman’s with my family. In fact we visited it twice. This is the first time my wife and I have visited this part of the coast; however my son and his family have have been before. The cafe is located at the end of the Promenade Way Car Park. There is a charge for the car park, although there was no charge on the day we visited. After parking the car we were desperate for a tea before doing some crab fishing. We sat down in the seats at the front of the cafe and got our drinks. The view of the estuary from the cafe was great, to be honest I could have sat there all day just watching the world go by. I immediately noticed some great looking cooked breakfasts being delivered to other customers, I then regretted having my breakfast at home as I could have easily had the cafe big breakfast - oh well next time. There were not that many seats so you may need to wait before getting a table, although some people sat on the promenade wall. There are no toilets in the cafe; however there are some toilets in the car park. On looking at the prices for the food we thought how reasonably priced the food was - I suppose this was one reason that the cafe was so busy. After our tea we decided it was time to catch some crabs - my son had purchased some some crab lines and bucket from the cafe when he last visited, which was also well priced. We walked along the promenade and found a great place for our grandchildren to catch crabs. After an exhaustive time trying to stop our crabs escaping from the bucket (I didn’t realise they could run so fast) and our grandchildren chasing them back into the sea we were definitely in need of another drink and food, so we’d walked back to Bateman’s. We were lucky to find a table immediately. We ordered our food which turned up after a short time. My wife and I had a panini which was really nice - it came with some salad and coleslaw, which was a nice touch. My grandson soon finished off a bowl of chips! Again the food that was coming out of the kitchen was lovely. In summary, do not be put off by the building which is not that fancy, but it really matches the beach huts along the promenade. The staff are very friendly and the food is really good and very well priced. The views of the sea and the boats sailing by is really relaxing. This is a great little cafe for your quick snack.

We walk to Bateman's regularly at weekends and the standard breakfast is really good value and the quality is consistently good. It is a typical beach café with tables outside overlooking the small beach and coastline opposite Bateman's Tower. No frills, decent filter coffee or tea included for £4.20. We love it! It is due to be knocked down and rebuilt late 2018 as a modern restaurant/ice cream parlour - let's hope it retains its great value breakfasts...

We parked at All saints church and walked along the river bank - old railway line. This cafe is a great relief. Food ok, coffee poor (next time we will try the tea); plans to expand & improve welcome. lots of beach play stuff for sale too. Neartoilets.

Our first visit to this seaside cafe and we were very happily surprised by what we found. It is situated in a lovely spot right on the shore line at the end of Promenade Way with a Car Park and Toilets nearby. The choice of food is exceptional for a smallish cafe, we ordered three different lunches - scampi & chips, panini & portion of chips and jacket potato with prawns plus a sausage for the dog! All came to the table very quickly and was cooked to perfection. A must was the Kellys ice-cream for dessert...what a choice of flavours! Needless to say it was all enjoyed by all, even down to the small tub of ice-cream for the dog!! It really is excellent value for money paid. The staff were friendly, obliging and efficient. It is impossible to fault this cafe and as we live fairly local (Clacton) we will be back before long to sample more tasty treats. We wish we hadn't waited so long to make our first visit.

Totally family friendly, good quality beach food, served with a smile even when they are rushed off their feet. Specialities that are rare in the area include Paninis with home-made coleslaw and salad, and Cream teas with home made cakes and scones. Prawn sandwich/ baguette/jacket -a dream. Kids meals with drink included and a breakfast selection - including a Veggie variant - amazingly good value. Our kids favourite - Chicken Burger with salad.

Always will recommend this cafe. The burgers are lush! prices are really good to!! right on the beach is right by it to

This is a great little spot on the seafront. We drove over from Colchester for a little treat here during the Easter holidays even though the weather wasn’t great - the majority of seating is outside but the perspex screens keep the wind off.

We popped in here for an ice cream on a cloudy and cool fall day. Nice Cornish ice cream, enjoyable chatting with the locals and their dogs. And the tame wagtail.

Proper mug of tea and great all day breakfast. Super location, speedy service, quality food. Can't wait to visit again.

Just what you need that close to the coast. Friendly staff and customers. Plenty of space to sit outside with the view of the North Sea.

Often pop in here for a snack. Open every day I think bar Christmas day. Friendly staff and quick service. Make sure you wrap up warm in winter because the inside seating is very limited. Great sea views.

Watch the sailing boats in the distance and the dogs and children paddling from the seating outside this cafe. Good choice of food, though those with food allergies would be well advised to phone first. We had the bacon and brie panini with coleslaw and salad, which didn't stint on the filling and was tasty. Prices reasonable. A very pleasant experience all round.

A lovely place to grab an ice cream and a drink, have a rest and people watch on a nice day, which we were lucky enough to get

Dear god, does the fact that this place is number one in brightlingsea mean that there is NOTHING better on offer???

Stopped at the Cafe for a cup of tea as too early for lunch. Staff were very welcoming and served...

its wholesome, its appealing, its certainly reasonably priced which is important when you have a family to feed, wide ranging...

Hermosa vista y el personal es muy amable, lugar al que ir después de un paseo de perros y dispone siempre de agua para los peludos muchachos! Salchichas y beicon no es el mejor, pero un buen servicio y precios y la preciosa vista mantenernos...

Entertaining friends for a brunch, this Café on the beach/promenade was an excellent choice. We use it regularly for breakfast but this was nearer lunch time and although packed with customers the service was fast with freshly cooked food and drinks made whilst we waited when ordering.It can be a little blustery even though there are clear Perspex walls/dividers or you can sit around the corner of the building. There is no seating inside the building which is a treasure trove of items to buy, all relevant to the seaside.

Bearing in mind this is a relatively small eatery on the front at Brightlingsea it has a large menu with plain but enjoyable food at reasonable prices.

I went to Bateman's Tower Cafe today and had a wonderful late breakfast. This cost £5.50 and included: 2 slices of bacon, sausage, egg, beans, mushrooms , toast and bread and butter plus hot drink. This was well worth the money and was hot and tasty. I followed this with one of their Kelly's ice creams - this filled me up for the rest of the day. Excellent- lovely location on the beach front

There is a wide choice of snacks and light lunches. I chose a prawn jacket spud and thoroughly enjoyed it. The venue is a lovely spot right on the sea edge. The staff were friendly and even though they were really busy we didn't have to wait too long for our meal

Brightlingsea simply wouldn't be the same without it. Great food, great value, great location. Bateman's Cafe has a charm all its own!

l Iove this Timber Blue Painted Cafe..( The Blue Cafe) Too me the is a very big part of both Brightlingsea and my Beach experience.. They are in the summer a very busy.. Ice Creams and drinks and lots of Snack Foods.. There are places to sit.. but i like to take my drink and sit by the shore.. I guess i like to be with my thoughts and enjoy the view ...

This place is very popular servings breakfast lunches drinks ice creams etc. We have not eaten but have purchased drinks and ice creams. They have a very good choice of flavours for the ice cream which is Kelly's. Prices are very good especially when you take into account they have a captive audience because of being situated on the beach. Two ice creams and a bottle of drink was £4.60.

We took a stroll down with the family an enjoyed a lovely ice cream. I can recommend the crunchy lemon ice cream.

Absolutely brilliant here, lovely quaint place to stop for a drink or eat. Food was very quickly served and the staff were extremely efficient. Reasonably priced. No inside seating but lots outside and right on the sea front, perfect outlook with so much to see.

Cheap and cheerful, friendly staff. Not a great deal of choice but was ok. Just a shame about all the flies due to bin overflowing.

We only came here for a small bite to eat/drink. A Bacon and Brie Panini and a Latte was all we ordered to takeaway but we were very impressed, both were excellent. £4 looked bit extortionate for the Panini but you get a very good portion. Overall, very good - and it filled a gap in our Sunny Day out in Brightlingsea.

We wandered down to the beach at Brightlingsea and noticed the Bateman's Tower cafe. We stopped for an ice cream and sat, sheltered from the chilly wind, behind the cafe's glass panels enjoying the sight of the boats coming and going from the harbour. Very friendly people with a good selection of hot and cold food at reasonable prices. We'd certainly recommend a visit if you're in the area

We had a rather well prepared fried egg bap, pesto wrap and a portion of chips .... everything was fresh, tasty and good value.This isn't a classic 'greasy spoon' ... no grease at all on the fried eggs or the chips!The only issue will be the English weather, since all seating is outside.

Visit here every time I go to Brighlingsea. This cafe offers a great range of food and drinks, along with friendly staff and great views of the Colne Estuary. Well worth taking the time to vist and watch the world go by for a while.

An exceptional cafe, great location, warm friendly staff, a wide selection of cafe treats on the menu, all cooked to a very high standard. Whatever the weather a warm welcome awaits you. Doggy friendly.

Great to see the cafe open year round. Coffee and a large bacon bap. Good price and good service as usual. No doubt I will be back several times before the end of the summer.

Basic but excellent cafe offering excellent value for money. The cafe is set in pretty surroundings and is open nearly every day of the year. Staff are always friendly and helpful and food is always good.

Excellent friendly service, lovely food at good prices. Well worth a visit anytime of year ☕

Batemans café is a great institution in Brightlingsea. The staff are dedicated to the cause and the service is efficient and speedy, despite its popularity. They deal with the busy periods extremely well.The food is good with generous portions for reasonable prices.Always worth a visit for a coffee and a bacon sarnie!

Always have a tea and bacon and egg bap here when walking the dog ...great little place. Staff are friendly and the food is good. Very good value and worth a visit.

Brilliant location overlooking the water, reasonably priced good food served by friendly helpful staff. Always a pleasure to visit, sit, relax and enjoy a meal or just a tea or coffee and a snack or slice of cake.

We love this place. It is part of the reason why we came to live in Brightlingsea. Nothing better than a cheese toastie or a full English and cuppa while looking out at the beautiful view. A real little gem. Staff are really friendly and welcoming even they even have blankets for those colder days.

Visit this lovely little café regularly, fantastic food great prices and friendly staff, lovely on a sunny day looking out of the bay.

This is a rustic looking cafe which is very popular, especially with dog walkers, due to its location overlooking the beach. The staff are extremely friendly, nothing is too much trouble and they are always ready with a smile. I've only eaten panninis here but they were excellent. Well priced, tasty and good sized portions. The views are great and you can sit outside with your dog while enjoying your meal/coffee.

Just the best cafe, great sevice from friendly staff, food is good and at reasonable prices. Start or stop here for refreshments before or after a nice walk BT the sea.

I frequently pop in for a breakfast whilst dog walking. The cafe is located in the best possible position for an amazing view of the water front, Mersea, Batemans Tower, beach huts and paddling pool. The young lady that serves me is always very friendly, excellent value for money and great coffee. Even dogs have their own water bowl. Blankets are provided for that colder day. Often sat chatting with other diners as a real communal, friendly atmosphere. A real hidden Gem at Brightlingsea, Well worth a visit.

Chose a beautiful Autumn day for our first trip to Brightlingsea, couldn't resist a hot mug of tea and a bacon buttie sitting outside this simple little cafe admiring the view! It's not posh nosh but was good value for money and good service. It's always a treat to find somewhere that offers gluten free bread too so I was really happy. Good start to a lovely day and enjoyed a 6 mile circular walk from the cafe.

Love going to this place - not a top end restaurant, but a lovely cafe by the sea :)Been many times, but last week we went for our son's 26th birthday breakfast at his request (from Colchester) for breakfast, so off the family trotted; Grandparents too - good value for money. If you want top quality nosh go else where, but this is good value in its own sense, how lovely to sit outside watching the world go by enjoying great company with a MUG (not polystyrene!) cup of tea.

Great little cafe. Open year round. Fantastic place for a coffee, snack or simple meal whilst watching the boats or the sea, Very good vale for money but wrap up warm in the colder months - limited inside seating.

Just popped in with some friends for breakfast, great service and price, big, honest, simple food with a wonderfu view.

A hut on the beach but on a sunny day the best place in Brightlingsea for a lunchtime snack or a drink or just an ice cream

I'm a regular visitor here and always enjoy the food that is served by the very friendly staff I do recommend the full English at only £5.50 including a tea or fresh brewed coffee a real bargain at the price Very scenic setting by the sea I will return

We really liked the setting and the staff were so lovely but honestly without doubt some of the worst food I have ever had - can't say eaten as we couldn't eat it!

Popped in for a coffee after a coastal walk. Good filter coffee and a slice of Victoria sponge for £2.50. Enjoyed while sitting with s view across the estuary. The cafe has an extensive menu with deals for added value, can't go wrong in my opinion.

A friendly, clean and surprisingly good menu. Excellent views and even rugs available on chilly days. A good range of beach toys and excellent ice cream.

Where better to eat a FABULOUS breakfast than in a sheltered terrace with the most wonderful view.! Excellent food and drinks really really good value, lovely sausage or bacon sandwiches and like I said amazing breakfasts...

Batemans is by the front in brightlingsea and takes it's name from the tower opposite. The food is basic but good, hot and well presented. If you want posh then this is not for you but the burgers are very tasty and the lasagne is home made and extremely moreish

The outdoor cafe is open far as I know throughout the year. The location is by the sea and Batemans tower hence the name and is quite popular with morning dog walkers and families that are visiting the beach. I've been here several times and on each patient has never achieved actually receiving a hot breakfast its usually lukewarm . I wish they would actually provide grilled tomatoes rather than tinned. The actual food is not exceptional but is served in generous portions.

I visited with a group of Ramblers and had a great lunch - bacon and brie panini washed down with a mug of coffee.

Popped down to Brightlingsea for the day and found Batemans Tower Cafe. Friendly helpful staff and wonderful food all served by the sea, who could ask for more.Well worth a visit and they have an amazing selection of ice cream.

first time at this location for over 50 years and was looking for some lunch.Can't fault this place or the staff who were very helpful in providing a vegetarian option.Service was fast as was the provision of the food

Excellent breakfasts and the best hot chocolate anywhere! Well loved by locals and visitors alike. Friendly and efficient staff.

Called in there the other day - excellent value for money beats any big name place for eats, good home cooked food, big seclection on the menu, and MUGS of tea not soppy cups and saucers, the staff were friendly - excellent.

As a frequent Brightlingsea visitor, this is always the destination of choice. Excellent coffee (£1), very good choice of well prepared food served incredibly efficiently. Extremely good value - toasted sandwiches and coffee for 3 people for under £15 and right next to the sea.

Good selection of food served quickly and nicely presented! Doesn't get much better than a cup of tea and a great meal while watching the sea x

Having a cold day at the beach? Then this is the perfect place to grab a small snack and warm drink. Chips are hot and the bacon in the butties plentiful.

This cafe is so unbelievable good value for money,the food is really good and the kids meals are really cute as you can get then in a little bucket and spade,the price is very good and there is alot to choose from on the menu,don't worry about seating as its next to the beach,but the que can get a little long at busy times but the staff deal very well with the amount of people and it doesn't feel like your in it for long...this is a must for most of the summer as there is a safe sea pool for the kids to play in while you relax on the beach.

No frills little café. Cheap but good simple food. Best to sit outside and enjoy the sea views as long as it is dry and not to windy.

Have been here many times with my children and now my grandson. Can't fault it. May have to wait a short while in busy periods but all food cooked to order. Lovely jackets, sandwiches breakfasts. Sucks are cheap, coffee £1! And lovely ice creams and lollies. Kids we'll love it. Can also buy lots of beach and crabbing equipment and cheap souvenirs. Won't leave you out of pocket on a family day out. Recommended. Lovely location.

Very reasonable priced, friendly service. Simple but extensive menu, bacon, sausage, baked potatoes, home made coleslaw. Toasters, burgers and set breakfasts or Panini.

Visited here on a freezing March morning with sleet in the air and sat indoors, went back next day with the sun out and sat outside. Great Little cafe right by the sea serving great basic food like toasties , cooked breakfasts and bacon and egg baps. All served quickly and at a great price. Staff friendly too. Well worth a visit for a coffee or breakfast.

Basic menu but all cooked to order and arrives piping hot. staff pleasant and efficient.Sitting outside is better if you can get behind the screen.

Batemans is a great little seaside cafe, the food is always very tasty, served with delicious home made coleslaw. Brilliant value for money and a lovely view out to sea.

We ate there for a birthday lunch, you can't book but arrive early and you can choose your seat. The outside tables (yes, really, on a windy February day) are the picnic bench style but you can borrow blankets and cushions to sit on and wrap yourself in. The food is good, cooked to order and speedily delivered to your table. The coffee is excellent and to your liking and the tea is good and hot (but if you sit outside you will need to drink it quickly) As other reviewers have said the staff are all lovely and friendly and the views are seaside as expected. There are two tables inside but these seem to be a little gloomy and as there are no windows they have little or no view.Prices are good and the selection is wide ranging with plenty of non-meat food for vegetarians too.They are open every day I think but will close if the weather becomes bad and there are no people about. There is the children's paddling pool just outside and rocky pools at the appropriate times of the tide. The walks are along a disused railway track alongside the sea or along the prom to the sailing club and into town.

It's only a greasy spoon type place but the staff are friendly and food is tasty and nicely cooked. Good value for money.

I'm always popping into to Lisa's Cafe at Bateman's Tower for the odd bacon sarnie or a burger. This little cafe is open 364 days a year and gets a myriad of visitors - it really does cater for all. The menu is basic, but very varied and even in the depths of winter it's a busy place. They even keep on selling the ice cream though it might be 5 degrees outside. I wanted a hot blackcurrant yesterday; they hadn't got that, but were obliging enough to heat up a Fruit Shoot - this is typical, nothing is too much trouble. Lovely view here, considerately enhanced by the Perspex windshield.....oooh and a rug for your knees if it's very nippy. Great fun to go there, you will always get a conversation and if you happen to be a grumpy s*d at least you've got the seaside to enjoy.

Great location , right on the beach, not much room inside but tables out side as well with a large glass screening to take the bite out of the wind, perfect stop on a bright and sharp winter day for a hand warming cup of tea and bacon sandwich. Food is as you expect burgers and fried hot plate food but cooked fresh and good value .

I love going to Batemans tower cafe every summer for an Ice cream and food! However this summer I noticed there was a lack of food given considering the prices... I was given a very small portion of chips for the price, when you can get triple the amount at Johnny Mac's plaice for under that! Love the place but they need to be more generous with the portions!

Tend to wander up to the cafe a couple of times a week. It is a good place to get out of the wind and take a break with a coffee and a hot sandwich or burger. Open even in the winter. Great views out to sea past the tower.

This friendly place sells good food and really good selection of ice cream which is very good,been there twice this week,had jacket potatoes with cheese and fresh coleslaw with salad. ice cream with ginger in a nice cone,tea in a china mug.Always busy which shows how good it is. Seating outside in fine weather and for people with dogs.

Seaside cafe. SMall hut type. Outside seating so can be a bit chilly. Typical 'fry up' type menu. Friendly staff. Nice position by the tower. Good sea views.

Love this place any time of year.Fantastic for breakfast ,quick sandwich or jacket spud for lunch or even a quick cups and a toasted tea cake.Just wish they would get some decent sausages!

After a long walk along the waterfront we were more than ready for a bite to eat and some drinks, and this lovely cafe fitted the bill perfectly. They had a surprisingly large selection on the menu, but I opted for the cheese and onion chutney pannini (with side salad) while my companion had the cheese and tuna pannini. I had a regular coffee and my friend had a cup of tea (he asked for a latte but apparently the coffee machine was broken). It's not what you'd call 'fine dining' but it was tasty and filling, and at only £9 you can't really complain.Staff were extremely friendly and obliging and the onion chutney was delicious!Seating is outside, which provides great views but can get a little breezy, although we were very lucky with the weather. There is a sheltered seating area on one side which has a clear wind-break to protect you from the elements.Later on in the day, after more walking, we popped back to treat ourselves to some of the delicious ice creams (spoilt for choice with those).

The kind of cafe that really does everything you might fancy. The usual lovely cuppa, cooked brekkies, baps, jackets, not to mention kids' meals served in buckets with a spade. All very reasonably priced. Lovely setting near Bateman's Tower on the prom. Had a great brunch, a breezy walk, followed by one of their ice creams. We'll be back!

perfect location for my 2 year old who could wade in the water without being hastled by pesky waves. The cafe itself was fairly priced and the staff were friendly. I would recommend the Hot Chocolate which was delicious.

Good food good price, shame about the building, if this was Devon the council would of built a proper brick built cafe a balcony too make the most of the area.
