Pebbles one in Southend-on-Sea

My and bf went here for lunch and it was our first time there and it was okay and we had a great view of the sea. Had the scampi and salad and my bf had batter sausage and chips and we were happy with our food and it was delicious. The staff members were okay and the service. Overall Pebbles one was a decent place to eat Solid 4/5

I visited here for what I hoped would be a nice lunch overlooking the beach and the pier. The view is great, but the rest is awful. I waited 15 minutes before I finally went inside to see if I could get a menu and was told by a member of staff that someone would be out in a minute. 10 minutes later I went back inside to see what was going on and was told that they were sorry and someone would be straight out, which they were. I ordered a beer, which was eventually plonked on the table, and looked at the menu and waited and waited but nobody came. There were only 2 other tables with customers on, so it was not busy. I finished my beer with still nobody to ask me for my order, so I left. To make matters worse, I stupidly the next morning, went back for breakfast, hoping that it was a poor day on their part, and plus the fact that the view is great. The same thing happened. I sat down and waited and waited, nobody came. I left after 20 minutes and said to the person behind the counter I'm leaving because I cannot get served. To which he said 'I know, I'm sorry'. Terrible service. Great location. Shame!

i have been there and one of the management staff being racist and was so rude and impolite . he pushed me up and said get out for no reason. I requested him to stop that then he laughed at me . all of the management staffs need to be well trained and should be taught how to serve customers and how to talk to them. i was about to call a police , and I made him aware of that, on that as well he laughed . very soon the police would be reported about this act and I hope the right person should be sent behind the bars.

Friendly staff reasonable prices nice location in Southend on Sea various of food to choose from the menu clean and tidy restaurant/cafe

I visited here with my mum, sister and nieces. We only had drinks, the prices were average for a beach front bar - £10.50 for a can of gin and medium glass of wine. The place was absolutely disgusting, food and drink left all over tables, food and rubbish all over the floor. The place is run by teenagers who don’t have a clue what they’re doing, they just stand around, don’t attend tables and don’t understand the importance of cleanliness in catering.

I took my 92 year old grandad and my 3 kids for a nice meal there as they loves the sea front and thought the view was nice as they don't get to go much. But to my disappointment everything went wrong from moment sat down. Rude service and not much to choice from. The prices weren't marked very well and seem to have different prices for the same thing (didn't notice till after ordering) we got rude service when going to till to order and also got £12 overcharged without realising on my card until looked everything up on there website and adding everything up. I am disappointed as my kids lost out on rides and arcades due to this. Do not waste your money can be better spend somewhere else.

Never go here. The filthiest place I have ever visited. There is a good chance you will get sick - it's DISGUSTING. Should be closed down. It is run by a group of dirty kids that are rude and incompetent. We had crumpled menus with a very limited selection of food. There was food smeared on the windows. The toilet had no door lock and it was covered in brown stains with the toilet seat was on the floor. Extremely overpriced and rubbish quality food - that we had to wait a ridiculous time for. When it came to the bill we had to ask about four times and when we did they couldn't remember what we had ordered.

Came here the other day and it was terrible, the place seems to be run by teenagers and the only adult there was standing on the door and all he did was tell you to scan the NHS QR code, once scanned you just stand there or walk n with no guidance as to where to sit. On the terrace there was a scruffy boy that was wiping tables with a dirty cloth, behind e there was a couple that had their food but was complaining about no cutlery in front of us there was s group that ordered food but it all came out in takeaway boxes when they were eating in. All the staff seemed to have never heard of a shower or a washing machine as some were dirty and all their clothes were filthy and not from food. Anyway on to the food, the chicken fillet burger tasted like it came from Iceland and the fish had no flavour to it at all. In all £25 for bland food, dirty environment and subpar service.

The food stunk, The waiter did too. Its hard to stay in there for any longer than 10 minutes seriously, The hygene in there is appauling

I wouldn't even consider giving this place even 1 star for the RACISM AGAINST ETHNIC MINORITIES. I came over today to order some doughnuts and chips as well as visit a friend of ours who works there. She kindly offered us £3 off and she had reassured us that all her colleagues, and boss, do the same. However, we did pay the full price after. We were later informed that the owner, Paul, had asked for us to be 'watched' and later told our friend: 'Tell those Muslim girls to get out' and 'To never visit again'. We were already aware that the owner held a grudge against ethnic minorities. It was bad enough, being 3 teenaged girls, receiving such hate for NO REASON. This behaviour is unacceptable, especially for a tourist area that a lot of people visit. Absolutely disgusting. Going against the Race Relations Act 1965 and Equality act of 2010.

Came to Southend on a whim and after driving 3 hours needed a bite to eat and drink. We went and sat outside which was okay but had to wait a while for our order to be taken. My wife ordered a tuna melt panini (£7) and I had fish and chips (£14). When the panini arrived there was no salad or crisps, just a very sad looking panini with a wooden skewer. For £7 I would at least expect salad or crisps with it, so this was very poor value for money. The fish and chips were okay but I think at £14 it was about £2-3 overpriced. However when you are hungry and need to rest you just pay the price. Would I return - no. Would I recommend it, probably not. They need to change the menu and add little extra touches to some of the menu items.

We went here for a basic dinner s/egg and chips and tea. The egg whites were tinge with brown cooking oil. Average price, but the teas was served in take away cups. When i asked for china cups, the server said as it was fireworks tonight they may be busy and they would have a lot of washing up. Shame on them. What about the environment? The toilets were clean, but the hand dryer wasn't working in the gents.

Went here on a hot sunny afternoon. Sat down and waited for service (there were two staff visible). After waiting 10 mins went and queued up for drinks and asked about ordering food when I got to the counter after about 6-7 mins. The two menus I picked up at the counter were taken off me for some reason. Sat down, decided on food and went back inside. Queued up for 25 mins (we have a 1 yr old who was very hungry). Food took another 20 mins and was rubbish and expensive. Nearly £7 for a crap hot dog and a small container of chips. Almost £6 for a jacket potato and £4.50 for a kids meal which did not include a drink. The hot dog tasted like those cheap 40p tin hot dogs you get as an own brand at the supermarket. It was not the slightest bit warm and the portion of chips was tiny, soggy, cold and undercooked. I would have got another drink but did not want to wait 25-30 mins as the queue was to the entrance. They didn’t even separate the bar and food so everyone queued at the bar. We spoke to two neighbouring tables and they also said they’d go somewhere else as the queueing tim3 was so long. Just a tip - hire some staff !!!

We both had fish & chips which was well cooked and nicely presented. Staff were friendly and helpful. It was also very reasonable, which was nice as the restaurant was right on the beach. Would recommend it to anyone out on a day trip to Southend.

Excellent food excellent service excellent value for money.will always head for there when in southend

went into Pebbles 1 in the week very hot day staff were very friendly we ordered fish and chips and a couple of drinks not long to wait the fish and chips were perfect we have been in here several times and every time the fish and chips have been the same, we have eaten from a few fish & chip shops in Southend but these take some beating

The food is good and reasonably priced.The staff are lovely. One word of advice,the toilets are not disabled friendly as they are underground down a very steep flight of stairs.

Nothing special about this place it's a typical seaside cafe. Food isn't great it is average at best and overpriced , but aren't they all!K

No soy realmente seguro de por dónde empezar. En primer lugar, el café se había quedado fuera de un número de cosas básicas de un menú bastante pequeño. Entonces pedí 3 bebidas y tres comidas. Comida y una bebida era tan lento que estaban en peligro de nuestro ticket de aparcamiento. Cuando finalmente llegamos me habría gustado haber dado de esperar. 2 porciones de bacalao y patatas fritas 8 libras. 50 cada uno. El bateador fue el más insípido y repugnante que he comido. La extracción de un trozo aunque era cocinada en la cima, el pescado estaba cubierto en un floury mushing que creo que fue la mezcla de un bateador en la vida anterior. La cima era grasienta y sin sabor y la parte inferior fue similar a lo que hacen las de papel maché. Las cenas eran apenas tibia, que es sorprendente teniendo en cuenta el tiempo que se tomó para cocinar. Una taza de té nos una longitud de tiempo para llegar de nuevo hasta que la cola para preguntar acerca de su paradero, encontramos un miembro del personal que no estaba destinado a ser barrido mesas. Cuando yo le pregunte y ella preguntó la señora detrás del mostrador quien tenía originalmente mi orden, su respuesta fue que no podía hacer que ella estaba sirviendo. De forma más precisa que yo diría es que ella está ocupado aliviante clientes de su dinero y en hacerlo considera sus obligaciones terminado. Finalmente otra chica traía una jarra de agua caliente que creo que puede haber entrado en contacto con una bolsa de té en algún momento, pero no totalmente seguro. El lugar era pegajoso y sucio. El servicio era como en el mejor de los casos y aletargada con comentarios anteriores que teníamos que conseguir nuestro propio cubiertos y jugar la botella ketchup como hunt fue finalmente encontrado vacío y bajo el tranvía en el suelo. De nuevo la pobre chica que era la única que parecía estar haciendo su mejor consiguió localizar a otro pero no la usamos como francamente no convencido de que seres edibility. Un cliente detrás de nosotros pedimos una pizza y lo que salió fue una pequeñísima pizza hecha por £6, que me recordaba a mi infancia cuando mi madre solía comprar el presupuesto congelado desde mini pizzas en un paquete de plástico Bejams? No podría decir si ella había pedido 4 quesos, jamón, la piña y el pepperoni o vegetales como no podía distinguir cualquier forma de abastecerse o el queso, ya que había sido hecho en una sola corteza. No pregunte antes de ver este lo verduras estaban en la pizza de vegetales (una razonable pregunta me pareció como la gama es enorme) pero el mostrador no podía decirme. Para ver los que ofrece dado a la señora detrás de nosotros ahora sé por qué.Sé que la vista es muy bonita pero la verdad ir y sentarse afuera con una bebida cara no continuar con cualquier tipo de mendicidad o comprometerse con el personal. La vista es preciosa, su ubicación genial, aparte de que quizás pruebe uno de los otros por allí o dirigirse a uno de los cafés arcos. No gastes tu dinero forro sus bolsillos.

The worse cafe I have ever been it The waitress couldn't have been more miserable every seat outside covered in sea gull poop WCs disgusting left my coffee without drinking it Beware !!!!!!

El café tiene una buena ubicación, eso es todo. Compré gambas y patatas fritas y un Sprite que venía a menos de £10! Los scampi eran absolutamente diminuto. La camarera no llevar un cuchillo y tenedor o condimentos, tuve que traen esos yo. Bog chips estándar, este chico debe ser percheros de...!

Best fish and chips in Southend. Delicious donuts too.Ideal to let children play on beach whilst parents having a cupola.

Llamé con mi hijo ya que estábamos en un viaje de negocios en Southend.

Honestly the best chips I have had for a long time. £1.80 for a bottle of pop is a bit pricey but the chips and stuff was reasonable. but I will say again, chips to die for!

the food was nice and quite reasonable, the main issue was not being able to find a seat outside without bird excrement on it, i understand it cant be easy to keep them clean but the whole time i was there didn't see any one try to clean them. The chips where very nice and fish was massive

Grand children loved the water fountains outside and playing on the playground on the beach. We had the pensioners special on the terrace at the rear and could watch the children on the beach. Delicious hot doughnuts. For a seaside restaurant this was ideal and a great day out enjoyed by young and old. Would recommend.

Pebbles one is located right on the sea front, we sat out on the decking overlooking the beach and sea. My mum and dad had the OAP cod and chips, it was freshly cooked and they enjoyed it thoroughly. Very reasonable at £4.25 each. I had the adult standard cod and chips which was a larger portion of the OAP size. Would definitely recommend this place

£4.00 for a children's nuggets and chips 12 chips and 4 very small chicken bites, disgusting will not be returning to this ridiculous over priced dive

Called in for coffee as a wonderful location by the sea. Awful machine cappuccino and disinterested service so not in any way worth the £2.50 price tag. In process of renovation which it needs. Much better options available .

Had a great time and really enjoyed the fish & chips. Hot doughnuts for afters were delicious!! The kids played on the beach on the adjacent climbing equipment and then splashed around in the water fountain.

Sat on the decking overlooking the sea at Pebbles One. Myself and my wife had the OAP cod and chips, it was freshly cooked and we enjoyed it thoroughly. Very reasonable at £4.25 each. Would definitely recommend.

We ordered coffee and toasted tea cakes. Coffee was lovely but the tea cakes took a long while, so we had to ordered another coffee and the waitress admitted that they had burnt the first lot. I then asked for sweetners only to be told they don't have any, then she said the owner is sitting over there, ask him. I did this and to be honest he did not seem that bothered. The outdoor seating area was lovely and lovely views out to sea.

Pebbles One has a spacious terrace overlooking the beach. Tables have parasols. The place was welcoming: no one rushed you to finish up and go; people were able to bring their takeaway Rossi ice-creams and eat them on the terrace. There is an OAP fish & chips special for £4.25 and a wc on the ground floor for those who can't get down the stairs.So it was a shame that the fish and chips (£7.95) tasted of old oil to such an extent that I abandoned my meal.
