Labworth Cafe in Castle Point

This is a great place to eat. Very welcoming, polite staff. Food is great.

Food is delicious, we cannot complain. But make sure you know exactly what you ask for because, once the order is made you cannot change your mind. They won't take it lightly. We changed our mind from take away to eat in, offering to pay extra for the service, but they didn't take it well, quite aggressively actually. Really upsetting to be honest!

This delightful restaurant boasts stunning views of the Thames Estuary and serves mouthwatering food. The friendly and hardworking staff provide top-notch service. A must-visit!

Lovely spot for lunch , great service and food was delicious will definitely be back 😃

Lovely breakfast friendly and happy service, would definitely recommend

Good parking very friendly staff great service and excellent value

Great as always, Labworth has a special place in our hearts as it was our first date 4 years ago. Food was awesome and staff are lovely

Lovely breakfast nice food, didn’t make a booking but found us a table for 5, very accommodating. Was nice to revisit after so many years since we last came here!

Great location great food ,good service

Best breakfast in ESSEX NOT A DOUBT ABOUT IT

Been a while since it had to close but so lovely it back open created warmly

Amazing service, amazing views and the food was brilliant! Will definitely become a regular here.

I've only drop one star as the place is too small to generate a good atmosphere. S. All but great quality and prices that reflect that 🤔

Always go to the Labworth café when on holiday in the area. Nice view of the beach and estuary. Friendly service and atmosphere, with tasty food.

Brilliant beach side cafe, with exceptional service 😀 The food is always great and they're always updating their menu

This is a lovely cafe in an excellent location. An ideal place to come before or after a walk along the seawall. The menu is surprisingly varied and enticing for a cafe. It's not just your usual breakfast choices. They have a lunch menu, Sunday roasts, and it seemed that there were specials on offer, too! We enjoyed a table for two overlooking the Thames and didn't have to wait long at all for service and food to arrive! Our waiter was great, and the food was excellent. We were lucky to be there on such a sunny morning, enjoying the views and warming sunshine. Highly recommend, and I look forward to our next walk and cafe visit!

Lovely place for Lunch, my only complaint would be the refusal to purchasing a child’s meal for myself and our one year old daughter as a sharing plate (I was not that hungry and she certainly could not have eaten a whole child’s meal!!). Aside from that, totally recommend!

Refused us because we had a baby in a buggy who was sleeping and said we can come in but the buggy must stay outside. I think that’s horrible how they’ll deny someone because they’ve got a baby told us we can sit outside I told them to forget it as it’s cold and don’t want my baby outside. Makes me wonder if they’ll deny someone in a wheelchair too stuck up snobby establishment would recommend to everyone to avoid

Lovely cafe right by the sea. Always nice fresh food with a great view. Staff very friendly. Parking only £1.60 for 2 hours.

Top Dollar cafe. Great food, excellent service and its on the sea front!!

Absolutely brilliant , food brilliant

Very lovely, friendly service. Excellent ALT on ciabatta. Would like to go back for a full breakfast or lunch.

Very well run service nice views and atmosphere

Absolutely fantastic place. Always great food and great service!

Lovely, good food and wonderful views

Beautiful place with excellent service, was welcomed with a friendly smile and atmosphere is cosy and classy with an amazing view all round. Food was delicious and great portion sizes as were the cocktails and will definitely visit again 😊

The food was good, the service was good. I certainly will go there again.

After growing up on canvey Island and hearing so much about this place I decided to give it a try. Just had a coffee and a chocolate brownie which was fine. Nice views overlooking the Thames estuary.

Delicious full English breakfast, with great views out over the estuary. Maybe a little expensive, but breakfast really was good, so treat yourself once in a while. FYI, parking here is an a paid and display cark park.

We actually went for an evening meal at the restaurant above the Labworth cafe, called Savor... Absolutely scrumptious ... As always...

Best place for breakfast. Food is amazing, staff are great and it's such a good location

Have been here many times over the years and love the breakfasts, we had lunch here today, I had the burger meal that seemed very Greasy and without much flavour (but that is my opinion) my wife had chicken thigh meal, she said it didn't taste nice and that chicken was slimy, I looked and agreed and food was taken back to the kitchen, with an apology, the manager came to our table and politly explained that this is how meal should look and assured us that it had been prepared correctly, and i have no reason to dissbelieve him but, it didn't look very appetising. When we came to pay, we were not charged for the chicken meal and again apologised to. We would definitely eat here again but will stick to the breakfasts as they are superb.

A very small space, all seemed a bit average, nice terrace but underused.

Fantastic restaurant. Great selection of perfectly cooked and well presented quality food. Reasonably priced. A great place for a celebration or intimate dinner.

Lovely place very helpful staff,will definitely return

Great food. Had a main meal only to be told they were closing and could not have a dessert. Could have told us before hand.

Been here today for breakfast, lovely service and nothing was too much trouble. Food was lovely and worth a visit.

Excellent service thank you 😊 👍🏼👍🏼

Found this by chance. Definitely go back. Breakfast was really lovely. Xx

Lovely coffee. Friendly staff. Could do with some extractors to take away the food fumes and cooking haze.

Our most regular stopping point during our short stay in Canvey. Friendly service, good food and drinks (heed the warning about the teapots). Vegan options . . .

Food was great and so was the service,

Nice view, friendly staff. Good food, especially homemade desserts. Only issue was being asked to leave pram outside, and I don't think it's accessible as there are steps to the front doors.

Beautiful restaurant as said in my rating 1st class plus beautiful view of Thames made to feel very welcome going Saturday for my bday 🎉

Had a real nice meal here Saturday night and had a good time and will be going back again

Beautiful building, listed and really cool, staff are nice, not expensive and if the day is nice you should sit outside. We'll worth a visit

Visited again today for breakfast. Fantastic food, especially the bubble and squeak special. The staff are so professional. Polite and knowledgeable. And the view is amazing. Faultless. Rob

Perfect cafe to stop at after a long walk along the Canvey sea wall. The view of the sea from the windows is relaxing, calming and awesome.

Sunday lunch was lovely, nice friendly staff, great view over the estuary..... we'll be back 😊

We went to this lovely restaurant to celebrate my partner's birthday. The food was the best we have had and the staff really friendly. Lovely atmosphere and well worth a visit for a special occasion, or just for a nice evening meal. Highly recommended

A bit more expensive than other establishments but the food was of a very high standard and the service was very good but in no way hurried. The atmosphere was of a romantic kind. While looking over the estuary we went in February so a bit dark and not much to see. The place to go on special occasions. Below asks what I recommend Food is a but more upmarket than below

Seats about 40 we were there at lunch time so had to wait 20 mins. Great service friendly staff and great portion size. All seats have a sea view. Would definitely return soon.

Nice for a stop with dog walkers and the veiw amazing

What a gem. Amazing service and food. Lovely and clean and tidy. Beautiful views over the estary towards Kent. Well worth a visit. Earlier in the morning was going to Southend but no way of paying for car parking. Machine broken so no cards or cash. Tried on phone, website rubbish. Goodbye Southend, hello Canvey Island restaurant. Parking very accessible, toilets on seafront. Lovely walk along the sea. Well done to the owner, the cooks, waiters and waitresses. We have had lovely time. Restored our faith in many ways. Good old fashioned ways.

Great place to eat looking over the sea.

Amazing place, great food, friendly staff, fantastic views

Full marks for this place ,excellent staff nothing too much trouble

Went for a walk along the sea wall and decided to have a light lunch Glad we stopped at the Labworth cafe. Very friendly staff and clean with spotless toilets. Wide choice of food including vegetarian and seasonal desserts. We hope to return when the weather is warmer.

Very nice service. Amazing views. The food is tasty. I recommend to visit this tasty and nice place.

Lovely food, lovely staff and owner who take the time to talk to you and make you feel welcome and valued. The view over the estuary is very relaxing and it's you can take a nice walk along the promenade afterwards. Highly recommended going here for lunch.

Hi well this cafe is a restaurant as it is the best in Canvey Island right on the sea front always a great menu and lots of specials to choose from really lovely staff always very friendly and treat you with respect and when you look out of the window some days it looks like the Mediterranean Sea something not too be missed that's the food not the sea view but just remember that outside when the union jack is flying the restaurant is open Wednesday to Sunday enjoy

Lovely meal attentive waitresses and helpful. Place I would definitely recommend.

Extremely friendly service and great food. Very tasty

Couldn't get in very busy BUT that says it all, it must be good.

Have not been since the new management.must say wasn’t disappointed the food excellent, service very good and friendly staff! Will be back again!

Loveky breakfast & staff. Seaviews as well in the sunshine🌞😎

Friendly staff good food and love the milkshakes

The best Cafe on Canvey Seafront.

Have used the Cafe two to three times a week, to have two pots of tea and biscuits, to day told by a waitress that you should have tea outside if you not buying a meal, made us feel that only wanted our custom when the Cafe is quiet, I feel the waitress had no idea how to talk to paying customers, The Cafe needs to put up a poster on front door letting customers know there is a spend amount before being seated, pity but that's what you get in a cost of living Crisis business owners trying to get more money in and losing customers at the same time.

Great place to get a view while you eat. Really friendly staff and good food. Only eaten there once and am definitely going back. .

I can't express how lovely it is to sit with the windows open looking over the sea eating a fabulous breakfast from here. The staff are so polite and happy and food gorgeous, Its very rare to get both of these positives in the same place these days. Well done all!!

Great Menu and service highly recommend

Great place to eat. View over the River, lovely food and friendly helpful staff . Will definitely go back.

Always great to stop for lunch and watch the boats go buy. Food is excellent.

Lovely prawn with seafood sauce ciabatta sandwich and lovely service.

Fantastic place, great food, pleasant staff. Right on the waters edge, it's like dinning on a cruise ship.

Hired out, the Savor Restaurant upstairs for my mum's funeral. It was great. The food was amazing, it was freshly cooked and absolutely delicious, we had three courses and I recommend the lamb chops 👍the staff were helpfull, everything ran perfectly. The views were of the sea and the beach gave everyone something nice to focus on . It was lovely and I will remember a good day rembering my mum's life . I thank all the staff for a wonderful job they do 😊

Great place. Lovely food and fantastic view

Food is gorgeous staff are brilliant

A+++ dining experience!! Recently changed ownership - couldn’t be happier with the food and service we received last weekend. Great value.

My wife and I love coming here for lunch (and breakfast if we get up in time ). The food is always fresh, hot and served with a smile. We've been coming here for about 15 years and feel as if some of the staff are almost family. My favourite dish is the Hunters Chicken. Oh - and the Lattes are great.

Lovely food, Lovely staff and lovely decor would definitely recommend 👌

Lovely food and the view across the Thames is a lot better than j thought it would be. Highly recommended

Had lunch downstairs. Great food, helpful polite staff and reasonable prices
