Table Manners in Southend-on-Sea

We eat here at least once a month, perfect breakfast at reasonable prices, 8/10. For a no frills café it's one of the best in Southend.

Best breakfast in Southend, every visit is as good as the last, never lets me down! Special with sautéed potatoes is a must!

Restaurant owned by a nice family. Food is good, homemade and price cheap. I tried the steak and ale pie, I enjoyed it.

I've had a breakfast in here a few times, it's always very tidy with lovely waitresses and great food, I would most definitely recommend this

Don't be put off by the location, was amazed as food is freshly cooked by the owner who I remember from a hotel restaurant from a few years ago, a very passionate chef may I add! All good homemade and cooked to a very high standard! Definitely be a little regular of mine now

We have had Sunday roast here 3 times and every time it has been superb. Very nice staff and good quantity of food. Fresh veg and as much gravy as you like. All this for 5 pound, what a treat. Will continue to use Table Manners for my roadt.

Lovely hidden gem do not be put off by location , everso clean everything is fresh the owner is very passionate, all round a lovely experience

Had a great breakfast full of flavour and not a spot of grease on my plate even from the fried slice. Will always come here for breakfast.

The locals are bit shabby round here but don't let that put u off! This cafe serves a really good fry up at a good price-£7.50 I think for the big breakfast and every part is really nice. Bacon's really good and the hash browns are tasty! They serve lattes and cappuccinos for those who want too, roast dinners and other home cooked meals. They open till 3pm at wknds I believe and there's a cash machines just a few shops away. As it's in a parade of shops, you can wonder to the butchers next door or the co-op down the road for your shopping, or if you really fancy, the pub for a pint after just opposite. It's just a ten minute walk from Southend high street under the roundabout. Parking in roads around, you may be lucky and get outside. Just need a menu posting on line although many cafes don't have that :) highly reccomend.

Great service, love the staff (but not as much as the food aha!) Sausage sandwiches my fav, but the best for me is the Sunday Roast..... Thank you for keeping me and my family fed at an affordable price too!!

Fantastic Cafe. Alan, Nicky and all the staff are so friendly. Food is super, been coming here for ages

One of the best cafes around. Friendly staff and owner. Best roast dinner ever, tasty meat, lots of fresh veg, home cooked roast potatoes and yorkshires and no washing up afterwards. Would be there every Sunday if I could, highly recommend

Excellent food at a good price. Willing to add any item, offers granary bread when available unlike a lot of places in Southend. The staff are friendly and it is always clean. I have a BLT with sausage and mushroom as a treat (Rosie Special) Would highly recommend, the only fault would be lack of parking in the area. Been coming here for months and will be again.

Good and prompt service, food cooked freshly, friendly atmosphere and suitable for all ages. The cafe is always kept clean and tidy Plus good value for money

Great sunday roast all fresh vegetable, roasties and Yorkshire puddings, every roast comes with all the trimmings, mid week dinners are also served with fresh veg, EXCELENT VALUE FOR MONEY ANDTASTY FOOD.

Hot.Good value.helpful friendly staff. Clean. Uncluttered. Always good. Alan the owner is a thoroughly nice bloke

Having been to Table Manners on numerous occasions in the past, I thought I'd share my fantastic experience to the people of Southend.

We go here quite often and my favourite is Alans' made Steak and Ale pie, served with fresh beautifully cooked veg. It has a thick, lush pastry topping that you won't forget once you've tried it!

Hi we were expecting to go to our favourite eating place Van looys friday lunchtime but the place was packed to the point people were waiting to sit at a free table even if we did have time parking was a nightmare, so we had a cruise round and stopped at Table Manners in southchurch road we had been here once before when our normal breakfast haunt was closed for decorating and was quite surprised so we gave it another try for lunch this time,as before a good meal was had by myself and the wife she had ham eggs and chips which was delicious lots of ham plenty of chips and juicy eggs well satisfied, i decided on the large breakfast again and was not disappointed well fed and at a good price no fancy furnishings but we were made most welcome well done to the chef / owner we will be back.

Great food especially Sunday roast all freshly made no frozen veg can't beat it for value and taste. Good selection of veg normally at least 3 varieties every week something different to avoid getting boring. Two types of meat available to choose from. Great value for money, I'd say definitely the best cafe within Sutton Road for freshness. I've also tried the Homemade curry and shepherds pie and just as tasty. Definitely give it a try.

I've been coming here a long time and the food is always good! Bacons very tasty and all food is hot and tasty! The owners really friendly and gave me his contact number so I can call ahead and order my work bacon sandwich on a Friday! Very grateful for this! I've taken family at wknds and always been pleased with the full breakfast as much as my sarnie and I can't fault it. Great milky tea and large breakfast :)

I noticed this restaurant cafe was doing well in the TA ratings,so i thought i would pop in with MCLP for Lunch. I plumped for the Manners all day breakfast,while MCLP being Vegan had beans on toast,though thoughtfully LM sausages were available.

Finding a decent cafe that I can park my bike outside of is hard enough, finding one that I can get a decent breakfast from aswel is neer enough impossible or so I thought!

My Wife and I often go into town on a Saturday and we are now regulars on that day for lunch or brunch. Alan, the owner cooks the meals himself and they are all cooked to order not like some of the supermarket cafe's where food is stored in metal containers over heat and often dried up. All Alan's food is cooked fresh, and served piping hot in pleasant surroundings and in an upmarket style. Quite a good selection and well presented and cooked. Recommend

Frequent this little cafe regularly, owner Alan is great, all food cooked fresh to order, generous helpings, always a pleasure

This is our staple local. The food is always piping hot, fresh and of high quality; the portions are of a good size; nothing is too much trouble - items can be swapped, mixed, matched and added; and the staff are some of the friendliest around.

Myself and my partner go to this little gem every Sunday without fail ...The roast is by far the best in town ..All cooked fresh and big portions £5 a head ..Can't be beat... The chef Alan and his partner Marie have in my mind the top café in town

There are so many cafes in the Southend area, most are average or crap, but table manners is by far the best - always a good quality breakfast at a good price and the service is always excellent.

Often go to this cafe whether it's a hangover cure I'm looking for or a Sunday dinner I am never disappointed! Service is great and food is always fresh, hot and big portions which my other half loves! Would def recommend! Best cafe in southend!

excellent food and good bloke name Alan and family very friendly café and nice sofa to chill on :)

A lovely man by the name of Alan runs this Table Manners on Sutton road. The food is delicous and is all home made and fresh. From a wide selection to choose from including all day breakfast, baguettes, pies, Sunday roasts and more, you can even have it as a take away if you wish. Alan also holds a quiz night at the end of each month which are always a fun night. The place is always clean and tidy with friendly staff and I have tried other cafes but always go back to Table Manners.

Table Manners has been under the ownership of Alan since September 2012.
