Hamiltons Tea Room in Southend-on-Sea

Just had team lunch here with fabulous service and food in a beautiful setting. First time visit to these tea rooms - excellent.

This place is a hidden gem, situated overlooking the estuary and very close to the pier and the seafront. It is advisable to book afternoon tea beforehand, you will be required to make a deposit at the time of booking. The dining area is cosy and has a certain comfortable feel to the place. It is a popular place place - many of the tables were occupied when we arrived. Staff are very friendly and helpful. It is possible to sit by the window, thus enhancing your visit. Tea or coffee are served and replenished as and when required. Afternoon tea finishes by 4pm, so you will still have plenty of time to go shopping in the precinct! A good variety of both savoury and sweet items are laid out on a three tiered serving platter. Pate and quiche are included in the savoury delights. There is far too much to eat in one sitting, so any remaining pastries are given to you to take away. I hope to return in the not too distant future.

My sister and I visited Hamilton’s for afternoon tea as I was given a gift voucher for my birthday and what a lovely gift that was. The food was lovely, the staff so friendly and beautiful decor. It is situated within Hamilton’s Boutique Hotel just off the high street. Well worth a visit. Will definitely return.

Walking past Hamiltons tea rooms and we saw the sign cream tea for 2 £7.50. We sat on the pleasant terrace overlooking the sea and ordered. What a treat. Home made Scones that would have been celebrated in Devon, Real clotted cream and quality strawberry jam, complemented with a large teapot of English breakfast. The lady serving with a smile was friendly, helpful, and good-natured. We sent our compliments to the chef, and she came out to thank us. We will certainly be visting again.

From a leaflet through my door I learnt about this place. So I decided to try this place for lunch. The service was great and the food was lovely.

Took my mum here for the mother's day lunch, 1st time visit as my Dad who works on the Cliff's Lift told us about this hotel Food was lovely , lovely staff and lovely hotel would go again to visit here

The staff were very friendly and happy. Great prices and more importantly great food. Will be back for sure.

If you need a place for lunch in Southend then this is perfect. Great food. Good value and the service was second to none.

Found this little tea room by chance. Wonderful find as food service and location were wonderful. Staff were lovely and food was delicious and reasonably priced. We will certainly make it our port of call when in Southend.
