Was really busy, but managed to fit us in. Service was quick and we received our food soon after. Had a lovely full English breakfast, and my wife had a fish finger sandwich. Clean place and full of character.

I went here today for my birthday treat. Unfortunately it was poor as when I cut into one of my poached eggs I found a hair in the middle. When the waitress collected our plates I mentioned this and she told me no one in the kitchen had that colour hair and I mentioned how I found it and she said she would go and find out and never returned to our table. There was no apology for the the hair. We were hoping to finish our lunch off with scones but there was no service. My husbands bacon on his baguette was not crispy as he requested and he had to hunt for the cheese.

Visited this tea shop for breakfast with my friend. Very very disappointed. The poached eggs were so tiny they didn't even fit on one piece of toast generously. The caramel latte was extremely expensive. Service was non existent considering they weren't busy. We asked for another pot of tea as the other pot had turned cold. The old pot and tea cup weren't removed at all after giving us a fresh pot. For the size of the breakfast and service it was very expensive. Will not be returning sadly. Certainly not worth the money.

My husband and I visited a week ago and were looking forward to it. We had passed the place by chance on our last trip, but had already stopped for coffee elsewhere! The decor is perfect for a tearoom and the chairs and tables are so comfortable and perfectly fitting. The service was great and the scones were warm and tasty. However, the portion sizes were poor. The clotted cream and jam that was supposed to cover two scones was absolutely minimal. We are not at all greedy, but had to scrape every last bit - and even then could not cover the scone. I have attached a photo. There was also not enough milk in the little jug to serve the pot of tea. It is just not an enjoyable experience when the staff are clearly cutting back wherever they can. On another note, the pop music playing was out of place for a quaint tearoom and again, not relaxing. We would not return for another cream tea, which is a shame as the place itself is 10/10.

My friend and I had a lovely afternoon tea here which must be booked and is after 2.00pm which is understandable as it avoids the lunchtime rush and also think it made our experience much more relaxing. So plentiful we were really full when we left. We really should have taken a 'doggy bag' but wanted to finish it all it was so delicious. I got in touch with the tea shop prior to the visit and were very helpful with regards to food likes and dislikes. Someone mentioned Patisserie Valerie across the road. Been there before nice food but not at all relaxing as no comfortable places to sit. Felt as though you were on a 'conveyer belt' and not a valued customer. Would highly recommend this tearoom. Loads of choice of other foods very extensive menu not just a place for afternoon tea. If I am being very picky I would have preferred to have my salmon and cream cheese in a finger sandwich rather than half a bagel. More awkward to eat but still delicious. We'll definitely be back!!

Ooh dear, I love little independence tea shops but there was just too many no no’s on our last visit, it’s never been my favourite but the wife wanted to go, I’ll keep it short, served the wrong dish, no cutlery, don’t serve milkshakes (boo hiss) waited forever,the long haired chef popped out without a hairnet, hot & stuffy, nothing wrong with the food as always just sort yourselves out

If you are after a good cup of tea and a sandwich or slice of cake, then this is where to go in Southend. The decor may not be for everyone, it's style is a little dated, but deliberately so. It is a little reminiscent of my grandmother's sitting room, still she took afternoon tea seriously and so too does this cafe. I absolutely love it. The teas on offer are lovely, the food very enjoyable, and when they have it, the lemon meringue pie is a must.

A very charming and relaxing cafe experience with a rustic setting that you can’t help admiring amongst all the art work and furniture. Staff were very friendly & accommodating which came alongside a very enjoyable breakfast. I would highly recommend for anyone in the area looking for a relaxing breakfast/lunch experience in an otherwise very busy high street!

Absolutely appalled by the experience we had on Sat night. Booked a table for 11 people (family came down from Ipswich, a yearly catch up). It was booked a couple of months ago and confirmed on the day. Was never told there were a few sittings. Our meal came fairly quickly and all was good up to that point. As soon as our meal was finished so our bill came which we never asked for as we were still drinking. They never even asked if we wanted a dessert or further drinks. We sat for a short while but was asked to leave as they needed the table. We were fuming as it had only been just over an hour since we got there. A long way to come for an hour. Needless to say we will not be going there again. So please when booking there make sure they tell how long you have.

We visited for my husband‘s birthday. We were a table of five and arrived at 7 pm. On arrival. We were the only diners in the restaurant. Three other tables were occupied by the time that we left 9 pm. This was a sat night. The menu has changed fewer choices or maybe fewer fine dining choices. The signature dish seemed to be the steak either steak on the stone or cooked so we opted for steak. The menu even contains a little joke. “Don’t ask the chef to cook well or medium well “ I opted for medium rare so when it arrived, I struggled to find the pink meat. I also ordered some garlic bread for our daughters, it arrived smothered in cheese but no mention that it would have cheese both daughters don’t eat cheese . The waiting staff require additional training. A female server. Didn’t even apologise when I complained about my steak instead told me it would be a further 15 minutes for a new piece , that wouldn’t work as everyone else had been served. They would’ve been nearly finished when mine arrived. Her solution was to scrap the order all together, but I came to a restaurant to eat. That wasn’t a good solution, the senior server, or maybe the manager later came over and offered to compensate for the steaks and provided a discount, which is really good of him, the chips could’ve been triple cooked for that crispy restaurant feel they suspiciously look like they may have come out of a packet also . After we complained about the steaks, we didn’t receive any additional service. We had to request a desert menu, being gluten-free. I asked what was gluten-free on the menu. I was told nothing it’s not completely unusual but usually you’re offered either ice cream or sorbet. We had the feeling that we were no longer wanted so forfeited the deserts for our table of five, asked for the bill and left, one of our diners was in a wheelchair, no point did anyone offer to open the door so we navigate of the double doors ourselves and left disappointed . Positively the cocktails and the beers were delicious. My recommendation would be hire some staff that smile or are attentive, become a bar and do what you are good at. This used to be one of my husband’s favourite restaurants in Southend. I’m not sure will visit again though. Bad times!

The waitress was an absolute star, she persevered with two pensioners. The fish and chips were a tad disappointing, though the fish was well cooked, the chips were suffering from anaemia. I would struggle to describe the mushy peas but my wife's side salad was brilliant. All in all, a little disappointing, though we would go again.
