Mems Kitchen in Basildon

Generous portions, friendly atmosphere

Great food for any time of day . We'll worth a visit .

Absolutely cracking cafe. Had the best full english breakfast I've had in a long time. Lovely coffee too. Spotlessly clean and immaculate service. Highly recommend you give this place a go whenever you're in Wickford. Definitely worth a visit.

Wonderful,friendly service everytime we have visted. Huge menu, great food and prices - best in Wickford 😊

Good varied menu, friendly staff and very quick service. Good range of vegetarian and some vegan options Would return again if in the area

Great staff, excellent menu, food is always top nosh, either breakfasts or lunches. My local cafe. Easy parking and great value for money with their extensive menu. Nothing is ever to much trouble

The new winter Phenomenum #hodgeswaffleandcustard with chocolate sauce Hodges Waffle and Custard with chocolate sauce. Scrumptiously suberb..

Went in for waffles with my little one on a cold and wet Saturday morning and was greeted by Charlotte and Zoe, infectious warmth and very attentive on a busy day. Had waffles and ice cream, great waffles, nothing to complain about. The coffee was very very good. As a stop in Wickford for waffles, couldn’t be beaten.

Never actually went, lack of priced menu very off puting . The menu cannot be found anywhere, almost as if it’s hidden. Plenty of pretty pictures is not a sub for a bona fide menu. I’m sure we are not alone in our views.

Best café to go to for an early Sunday breakfast in Wickford

When visiting my daughter she treated me for breakfast & we found this place,food was lovely & service was prompt. Clean & bright bezt breakfast in a Cafe/restaurant for along time. Would highly recommend.

Me and my family at the meal in Mems kitchen this weekend and the food was delicious. I would recommend everyone in wickford go on try the delicious food and the lady served as the blonde lady she’s amazing work .

love going here with my mum & dad when i stay at theres. Yummy food fantastic service .

Great coffee, excellent food, friendly welcoming and very clean

First time I have been here, but amazing food and super friendly staff, will definitely come back

Popped in for breakfast and was very impressed by the amount of food and how good it tasted, it was a shame the orange juice was a branded bottled juice but it was still tasty

Friendly staff and a great fry up

Great place! Loads of choice. Brilliant staff.

I was looking forward to trying this place out did give it a go a couple of times unfortunately it let us down with service and food when I clearly said no bacon they mistakenly put bacon on my plate the simply just removed it from the plate when stated that I did not want bacon and also they kept getting few things wrong

The Ladygate and surroundings are looking very tired. Too many boarded up shops.

Friendly,clean environment. Good quality food, great value for money. Outside seating area, lovely in sunshine.! Best coffee, thanks Furhat. Brilliant staff, Charlotte is a joy. Nothing else to say other than we will continue to visit as we have done for several years now.

Tasty food; good choice; friendly staff; decent prices

Staff always friendly. Service is always quick. Food always tasty 👍👍

I found my fish over cooked on the outside and a bit opaque in the middle. Other than that very nice

The food was lovely, service was good, it’s very clean and was extremely busy but it’s a bit pricey. Overall a good experience.

The place to go food very good and staff where very nice and helpful

We keep going back and we are never disappointed

First and last time. Waited 25 minutes before asked where was w our meals were, came back a minute later and asked us to repeat the order without an apology. Food arrived 5 minutes later, no toast, I asked for it, waitress didn’t return. My partners order was wrong. Can suffer bad service if the food is good, but utterly tasteless. Typical cheap wholesale produce and massively overpriced. Won’t be returning.

Excellent food and service as always

We went to Mems Kitchen, we had a big lunch and I had a burger, chips and beans. It was really clean, the waiters were really good. It was fun.

Been here before and was happy however on this occasion i was extremely disappointed. The waitress appeared miserable initially. She asked if i wanted salad to which i replied no thank you. When my 'Halloumi, Basil and Avocado' panini arrived 10mins after my husband's food, which he had to start eating without me, there wasn't enough halloumi to fed a child, there was no basil in it, just a sprinking of dried basil that you'd use in cooking and loads of avocado! and i was given salad. When paying, my husband explained that it wasn't good and the reply was 'Oh'. Will not recommend nor will i visit again.

Came here for a spot of brunch and was not disappointed. Staff were friendly and efficient. Food was of a good portion size and as expected. Prices were reasonable. Would highly recommend & will be returning soon.

Food was just OK, staff were helpful, but the cruet was rusty and needed a bath

Always a great meal, great value for money & very prompt service. Ladies are all pleasant & helpful, breakfast & omelettes are excellent

Good food, fast service, friendly staff, good price too.

This is my go to place for food & coffee! The staff are so friendly & serve u within minutes of sitting, they cannot do enough for you even when busy! There young waitress Jess is an asset to the business always friendly & polite & always happy to see you! She works so hard, it’s nice to see a member of staff happy in there job & enjoying what she does! The food is amazing, incl the roast dinners, for a small diner they are on point with just about everything! Well done guys your smashing it! 👍🏼🙌🏼👏🏼

Great food, decent coffee & quick service! Just what you need from a local cafe 👍🏼

Lovely cake and coffee. Clean and friendly waitresses. Will go back

Have visited many times but 1st time with my 23year old grandson who's a bit of a fuss pot, he loved the whole thing especially the quality of his meal. I will be back.

Had a great breakfast here today, great value for money, well worth a vote, great waitress and staff..

Probably the best place to eat breakfast in wickford. Plenty of selection and always full but it’s not mind blowing. A little more quality on the sausages and coffee and then there a 4

Lovely food and friendly service ! Great place to visit for a Sunday brunch with friends. Highly recommended

Lovely food and friendly service. Great place to visit for a Sunday brunch with friends. Highly recommended !

Just returned from men's kitchen, wickford. My mother and I lunch there often but never again. My mother's salad had a Dead FLY in it. Told and showed the young and very helpful and apologetic waitress. Mother's plate taken away. We were charged full price for our meals and coffee, no apologies if any sort from owners. As I said we won't be returning.

Always good food with a varied menu. Staff are really helpful and efficient. Highly recommend.

Great service, some of the best food we've ever eaten out.

Good cafe, specialising in Turkish food, but does full range of dishes, from full English, to Burgers, wraps, omelette, etc, all good quality

Lovely food! Lovely staff! Highly recommend! 💕

Amazing food, huge portions and good price. Will be back next week!

Absolutely loved my Healthy Issssh breakfast. Food was cooked fresh and was very tasty! Highly recommended

We came here for lunch. Service excellent really attentive and helpful. Food was delicious we had cherry pie and sandwiches. Lovely big mugs of tea. Great value for money and really loved staff.

Good service. Big portions of food

Mem's kitchen never fails to impress me with their service and meal. They have amazing range of breakfast with reasonable pricing also love their rich lunch menu. The atmosphere is always positive almost feels like you're home having a meal with friends. 100% recommended! if you're about the area its a must try♥️

Delicious food & very friendly service,

Absolutely love this place. We visit at least once a week. Excellent food and excellent service. The staff work really hard and are always helpful and friendly. Great for a full English but also do lovely lunches and dinners. Oh, and the jacket potatoes are amazing!

Lovely food and staff.Very reasonable.

Had a lovely shish kebab with salad, rice and flatbread for lunch today. Very fairly priced, huge portion! Sat in the nice, sunny outside area. Staff all very friendly and attentive. I’ll be back!

Super full English. Extensive menu. Including a wine menu.

Lovely friendly staff, lovely food ,I recommend Mem's kitchen to everyone 😊👍

Just left mems kitchen , had a breakfast 😋 and missus had a coffee and toast , service was really good , nice friendly welcome, all the food was nice and tasty , and the bill was reasonable, overall would i be go back YES i would and i will

Excellent food and value for money

I can honestly say, I’ve never been to a cafe/restaurant before and been served by such an unhygienic and rude waitress! Unfortunately I didn’t catch the waitresses name but the blonde older lady is the one in mention. At one point she had her hands down her trousers pulling out her ‘wedgie’ as she explained to her colleague, then to go and handle customers food and deliver it to them. She delivered our food to the table basically throwing the plates down and just said ‘here you go’ and walked off. (I actually had another order I wanted to place)!! Disgusting attitude if you ask me. I will not be returning! Kelly reed.

Great food and a great service. Best coffee around.

My families 2nd & last time returning to Mems Kitchen wickford!! Today I was made aware by a blonde waitress that any tips we may leave for the waitresses DO NOT go into the waitresses pockets!! She also made me aware that she ‘doesn’t even...

Nice food great choice attentive staff

Popped in here today for a coffee and ended up with the healthy breakfast - smashed avocado, which was nice. The venue has been recently updated and decor is much better. Also small outside seating area. Will be back again.

Visited here for the first time today for a quick lunch. We only had sandwiches, and but the bread and fillings were so fresh. Accompanied by coleslaw, which I think is homemade, and salad, also very fresh. With a coffee, tea and two sandwiches, totalling...

Had a coffee and toasted tea cake in this busy, nicely refurbished cafe in Wickford's Ladygate centre. Extensive food menu and really friendly staff.

Mems came highly recommended by friends. Having lived in Istanbul I was very pleased to find authentic Turkish cuisine in King's Lynn. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. Hummus to start, followed by Chicken Sis and baklava to finish. Will most definitely be back.

The food was lovely, and served quick. Was made to feel at home by the amazing team, and was served by a young brunette with a lovely positive vibe and smile, she was more than helpful, she’s a credit to the business. Will definitely be...

Our first visit to Mems. Friendly staff and great service. Food was hot and very good quality. Restaurant was very busy when we arrived, but our order was taken promptly and the food arrived quickly. Very impressed!

I come here at least 3 times a month to meet friends or family and every time has been great. Food is excellent, great portions, lots of variety and value for money. Service excellent, staff very attentive and also polite. Our waitress most times I...

My first & not my last time. I came in for lunch today and was delighted by the side of the jacket potatoes & chilli I was treated with! Amazing food! I would also like to point out how much of a polite & hard...

Food and service was excellent.

Slightly disappointing food. The eggs (across three different dishes - eggs benedict, a fry up, and salmon with scrambled eggs) were consistently overcooked. Don't deny us the simple joy of a runny yolk, Mems! Also, it's 2021. Let people pay using a bank card! However, most of the food is fine. Also, the place looks great after its refurb, and the staff are very friendly and hard working. More power to them.

I have been here 3 times in the last week to meet up with different people for brunchfast. The menu is fab. So much choice. I'm so boring and had the bacon and brie panani 3 times, only because it is so delicious! Staff friendly and attentive. Didn't have to wait ages for food to be delivered. Glad this place is on my doorstep. ☺

Another place that's had a radical face lift which also includes an outside space. Extended inside with clean bright facilities. All on the flat so really accessible. Lovely food, great value & good service. Really enjoyed our visit.

My first time to this cafe, It will be my last, I asked for double mushrooms on toast The lady said I would only need single as it is large. Well I'm pleased I ordered double as it still wasn't enough. They only take cash in this day and age. A big cafe with no card machine. Not a great start.

Coffee was ok that is why giving it a one star. First time here and last oredered a greek salad .tasteless nothing like a greek salad.lettuce and lettuce. Friend wanted double mushroom on toast..it was more of a single portion.not good portions .they only take cash.not good.

Brilliant they are back, good as ever. Great food!

First time we went there I ordered the vegan breakfast. Portion size was tiny and could tell the cooked spinach wasn’t fresh as it was still frozen in places. Second time I went there ordered the lentil soup. When it came I could tell it was tinned soup. Probably hienz or maybe even Tesco value. Food was ok before the refurbishment. Since they reopened they’ve got proper stindgy and lost their quality.

Food excellent - perhaps a little pricy but well worth a visit for breakfast lunch or dinner

really enjoyable breakfast, had the set 1 and partner had the full english. really good quality, a level above normal cafe fare. Good value too. All 3 waitresses i have had have been lovely and really friendly. My new number 1 cafe, food and service...

First time visit but it won't be my last. Friendly and efficient staff, great choice of menu, prices just right. Cannot find fault. p.s. toilets are spotless as well !😁

Great food, well worth the visit.

Clean, bright and airy with friendly staff. Very close to the car park and town centre. A good choice of food throughout the day. Nice coffee. I could quite happily just pop in for a coffee. The full English breakfast was well cooked and delicious....

I suppose it's ok.. I have friends who go there. I haven't. So can't lie

eaten here many times always great service and great food - will be coming back soon to sample some more

Good food, good menu always pleasant staff reasonably priced, generally use for breakfast also plenty of free local parking

Super friendly and good value everyday food

Lovely coffee, beautifully cooked and served food, great staff, and reasonable too.

Great food very fast brilliant staff move like a well oiled machine

Your typical greasy spoon. Casual service - waitress sat down at the table with us to take our order. Food arrived fairly promptly and tasted good - although there were a few special requests that were wrong and needed correcting.

Very clean lovely food, very helpfully amd friendly staff, nicely decorated and lots on offer food wise

Fantastic girl behind the counter. So so friendly and full of life . O and great food here too

Absolutely superb quality of food, and excellent customer service from all staff and very friendly prices.

Very nice lunch and fast friendly service.

Good service and friendly atmosphere x

Food is OK just a bit annoying when paying as they only take cash I wonder why??

Great service, fantastic prices Charlotte, Nikki, Mem, Yaz and Thomas have terrific coffee and omelettes to kill for. Colyn, Wickford
