Percy's Cafe in Southend-on-Sea

Been driving past for 3 years and stopped to get a roll a few weeks ago. Been going back since. Today had a breakfast, delicious! Please try!

The blonde lady serving the food was so miserable maybe it was because she didn’t get any flowers on Valentine’s Day shame because the cheese on beans on toast was nice she even had a go at us looking at a newspaper and she said it was hers. Really nice old cafe just a shame that you’ve got somebody like that with a miserable attitude working at the front

Percy's offers an excellent range of homecooked foods (the homemade pies are a delight). Excellent and huge Percy's Big Breakfast.

we came here for breakfast while 2 of my childen were at music lessons, there was me my partner my 8yr old, 3yrold and baby. Anyone wbo knows my 3yr old knows he suffers with morning sickness but hed slept the whole time just before pulling up so thought we was all good. we went in i sat with 3yr old and baby while partner and 8yr old went to order. Out of the blue my 3yr old gagged and was a lil bit sick mum instinct grabbed him got him outside qnd took him to side of door where he was a bit more sick. 8yr old clocked what what was going on got tissue to clean the small bit inside. We then came ij and had our breakfast no problems, cant fault the food,but had noticed when we arrive the lady serving seemed to have the right hump (partner had said shes always the same). near the end of eating the woman very rudely said i should of took my kid in the road to be sick (the road is very busy i wouldnt want to go into myself to be sick) i dont know if she is thos unfriendly to all or weather she just dont like kids. very unwelcoming and will not be going back again. As someone who works in hospitality and food i know you do not treat customers in such manner

I’ve been popping in to Percy’s for over 30 years. The current owners/operators continue the tradition of perfectly cooked full English breakfasts for around £7. The cafe is spotlessly clean. Nicely decorated and there’s always a friendly welcome. There’s a good variety of dishes on offer but I always have the breakfast. Excellent quality ingredients, nicely cooked and always piping hot. Well done all and long may you continue to provide my favourite guilty pleasure.

First time in this proper British cafe we ordered 3 full breakfasts teas and coffees . The place is immaculate for an old fashioned cafe the food was fantastic and great value for money . We will return when are in the area . Compliments to Paul the chef

Food is lovely, large portions, super clean ..... there's not a better cafe around. Once you go, you're never go anywhere else

Try the liver & bacon or home made pies , or Shepard’s pie followed by apple pie custard or jam roll poly , a wide choice of excellent quisine freshly cooked ,numerous breakfasts also available ,top bubble & squeak ,fine coffe ,a dining treat every time ,good value & nourishing, very popular and well known by locals who enjoy a proper plate of food

One of my favourite cafes , the food is always cooked from fresh and served piping hot , no reheated sausages etc . Never had a bad meal in this cafe . I can honestly say they also do the best latte ever , tastes a lot better than any well known coffee house . The food as well as being very tasty is very reasonably priced . Highly recommend.

We were in Leigh and decided a late breakfast was in order So glad we went in here. Unbelievable value and very tasty. My daughters both ordered baguettes and they came out as long as my forearm and with 4 sausages for a very reasonable £3. My full breakfast was only £6.50 and very good. They did a range of other dishes but personally wouldn’t look past the breakfast!

Popped in for a quick bite to eat and a coffee before an appointment. The sausage sandwich was nice and in thick crusty bread. Some cafes you go in are so crammed with tables but this was lovely and spacious and you could actually get to the table without a squeeze or having to be extremely skinny. I will return when I have a bit longer to enjoy a lunch or dinner. Forgot to mention it also has a lovely seating area out the back.

If you get the last portion of Fridays beer battered cod chips n mushy peas I will not be happy! And the best cuppa tea too

I opened a shop up nearby a few months ago. Started going to another cafe nearby but then decided to use percys one day. Really pleased we did! Lovely food and nice fresh bread. The breakfast rolls are amazing!!!

Liver & bacon with a pile of veg. Carrot, cabbage, mashed swede, potatoes, onion gravy gluten free. Check the photos, enough for two and home cooked, hot and fresh. Mug of tea, second one free. All for £6. Outstanding value. A proper cafe, traditional standards and varied menu. Can't say enough about it.

I've been coming here every Saturday for two years and I have never been disappointed. Good food, lovely staff and a good choice of menu. Always value for money, a must visit.

This is without a doubt the best cafe I / we have ever been to. Between us we have tried a few different things for both breakfast and lunch. Always perfect. Staff polite & friendly. Absolutely perfect please do not change.

Popped in about 7:50am on a Saturday morning. Already open. Friendly, quick service. Full breakfast or choose what you want plus lots of other things.

27th Oct. Just popped in for lunch. Ham 2 eggs chips n beans + cuppa tea.

Popped in for a spot of breakfast & the picture says it all, had to try the bubble, it was handsome with fresh cabbage and carrots.

Often eat here. Beautifully cooked home made food of great quality at reasonable prices. Nice little garden, can always get a parking place, newspapers, immaculately clean.

Yes, it's frequented by builders and tradesmen but what a friendly place. I initially felt a bit intimidated by the tradesmen but was soon put at ease by the very friendly lady behind tge counter, the food is great, especially the cooked breakfast, excellent value for money...

Prefect every time. I have been there on various occasions. Always really nice. Try the bubble and squeak. The service is good. My only problem is they are not open on Sundays

I enjoyed a good Steak Pie with mash and properly cooked vegetables. Well worth going and good value.

Popped into the wrong cafe actually - was meant to go in Toasties next door as have had their coffee before but happy accident I guess. Ordered a Latte and Cappuccino which was quite acceptable. Cafe quarter full circa 9:15 a.m. - mainly tradesman, builders, decorators, etc judging from the attire. Free parking directly outside and some across the road too for up to an hour I think. Tables quite large and spacious as is the cafe - not all squashed in as some cafes can be!.
