Went to Market in Southend-on-Sea - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

This was my first visit and I would absolutely go back! The food was amazing, everything was made from scratch in the deli and it tasted excellent. The service was great and the staff were very friendly and welcoming The only negative is the minimal seating available, but it is a small store so I can understand why there is less available

A great venue for many years, as regular visitors for breakfast we have enjoyed superb porridge, amazing toast and exceptional coffee served by charming staff. However are now avoiding this establishment and go to one of the many inferior offerings in Leigh on Sea as unchecked yapping dogs are now part of the ambience. We were unable to hold a conversation and other customers were visibly cringing at the level of noise generated. If this issue is not addressed and despite its many attributes this business will fail, given the raft of alternative venues in very close proximity.

Visited today for lunch, food was first class, the staff are so friendly & were very helpful with making allowances for son, who is on the autistic spectrum. Well done to this business for recognising those with hidden disabilities.

Really good food and they have vegan options too. Good price, lovely place along Leigh Broadway to have breakfast or lunch.

Picked a few nice things up from here. Lovely sausage rolls. Fantastic white chocolate and raspberry muffins. Pretty good value too

Was very good but service lacked a touch to make it perfect. Food was good. Just felt it a little busy and that just meant delay on food. Could do with a little love

I go in here quite often due to being g able to take the dog. I have had breakfast and lunch. I have also worked upstairs as has free wifi and staff have. Even accommodating. Breakfast is not an extensive menu however the porridge is brilliant and my favourite. Great salads and paininis. Also tea you get a great pot and lots of milk!

Consistently good coffee - friendly service Nice thick toast with real butter and marmite- can sit inside or outside watching the world go by

My friend and I recently visited here for lunch however we were very disappointed with the attitude of what appeared to be the manager, following this neither of us would feel comfortable to return. Since this we have visited the Corner Club which we absolutely loved.

Plenty of wine but no cheese :( We had a great night, fab atmosphere and the band were brilliant - really enjoyed it however ... We got there 8.01pm and all the tables and window seats were taken - we found some space which was fine but then we were told we would have to help ourselves to the food on other people's tables. Being British we weren't keen on leaning over or pushing in between complete strangers to help ourselves to the platter of delights they were tucking into. Disappointed that we got basically zilch food to soak up the wine by which all accounts was free flowing all evening. If we go back we will be outside, front of the queue to grab our cheese!

This is a great cafe with yummy food but with a huge growing amount of young families in the area and lots of babies, I can’t understand why you don’t have baby changing facilities and that we have to squat or kneel on the floor. It’s insane to do so as a mum who had a complicated labour and should not be kneeling down on the floor to change my child. Please consider getting this sorted so mums keep coming back and don’t avoid coming to you for this reason.

Just went to the market good snacks Staff lovely aloud to take pets in ( so i took my spider collection in lol Joking ) We took my bro dog bayley in but you can sit outside Asked for a sausage panini and they made me one fabulous Will return, loved the art work on display to great bonus Mr David Pears

First time her for a long time. Lovely coffee had to get another so good. Had a salt beef sandwich , home cooked. Absolutely beautiful.

Popped in for a coffee with the family on a Sunday afternoon. Really relaxed atmosphere, and most importantly, outstanding coffee.

After a chilly long walk around the top of the Leigh-on-Sea we walked back to Leigh-on-Sea only to find this cosy place. Staff friendly and smiley upon walking in, but my only reason for four stars is that the set up to order is bit confusing and not much space to order. Good selection to choose from and all reasonable priced. We ordered two hot choc with marshmallows and cream. As hot choc goes it was really tasty. We have walked past this place for years and never realised it was there but will be going back for lunch as all looks really great.

In the heart of Leigh, this is a wonderful cafe serving excellent Illy coffee. It also provides a mean bacon sarnie. Service is invariably excellent. You may not get you coffee within a nano second of placing your order, but it's worth the wait. Early mornings it can be busy (and noisy) as parents and their young children arrive for a caffeine fix (babychino for toddlers !!). Other times it is a bit more chilled with relaxing unobtrusive music. Well worth a visit.

Went to the cafe for a light breakfast, they had advertised " Big Cheese on Toast" so ordered two of those along with two drinks. The drinks took ages to arrive and without any apology or acknowledgement of the wait. When the cheese on toast finally arrived it consisted of two slices of cheap supermarket bread with a thin layer of cheese just about melted on the top. Just not good enough and we will not be going back.

The place is of course called Piggy-went-to-market in full. Pleasant delicatessen / bistro style outfit with outdoor and indoor seating. Conveniently close to St. Clemence Church if one is thirsty after prayers.

The venue was hired out with a band for a 30th birthday party. The staff were exceptionally helpful and the location was great, a very popular area.

It’s always nice popping in here, and sometimes the wait can be longer than you’d hope (if you are hungry!) it’s always worth the wait as the staff are lovely, the vibe is pleasant and the setting is always very nice too.

A nice deli for those who just want to have a sit-down and relax, with some typical deli meals to offer. Friendly staff also. I would recommend.

After the Leigh lights night we popped in here. We've been before but found the out of control children to be a nuisance. However with the young lad singing and the feel of Christmas in the air it was a great night. Music was fab and the drinks were very reasonable unlike most of Leigh. Staff were great.

Went to market is a small cafe in the heart of Leigh, very popular with locals. The food is of a high standard. Lovely paninis at lunchtime and a couple of choices of home made soup. The lure for me however is their gorgeous bacon sandwich using freshly cut bread. A great start to the day.

Catching with friends. Decided to try this Deli for the first time. Nice simple and effective setup with long table and benches to sit. They do the typical deli food which we had. Both of us had a chicken and chorizo panini and mushroom soup ..lovely! Nice and relaxed atmosphere. Very courteous staff which was nice. Nice for coffee and cakes too

Visited here and was pleased with coffee and service. Good choice of food and free wifi a bonus v. Good

Came here to celebrate a friends bday. What a night! Worth the money. Live music was brilliant, had us all dancing on the tables by the end of the evening. Wine/beer was free flowing.

Calm with the gentle clattering and whirring of little treats being created behind the scenes. The occasional noisy child but they are made to feel welcome which is nice. There is even a healthy child's menu available.

Kind of feel like they ignore you a bit in here although a new waitress was very friendly. Take away coffee took 10 minutes and place wasn't even busy. I won't be returning, they need to improve their systems here.

The kitchen here is only small, so this means the service and wait for food, is lengthy. We waited over 20 minutes for 2 paninis, and even to get served at the till I found to be painfully slow. There was no sense of urgency,...

Un grupo de 25 teníamos el sitio para nosotros para una despedida de soltera. Nos permite poner nuestras propias decoraciones que hizo personal. Nos dieron algo para picar - platos de queso y carne, pan de aceite de oliva con chapuzón en vinagre balsámico, cuencos de aceitunas, patatas y cacahuetes. Hay un bar bien abastecido a precios razonables. También nos dieron un grupo de piezas que eran dos que proporciona excelente música de fondo que se convirtió en más optimista a medida que discurría la noche! Sin duda lo recomiendo para una reunión pequeña. Las dos damas que sirve no podía haber hecho más para asegurar una noche maravillosa. Los menús para el desayuno y el almuerzo son realmente buenos y a un precio razonable.

Buen café, así que ir allí y tener la ocasional tarta o bacon sandwich. He usado mucho a lo largo de los años y los miembros de la familia para satisfacer normalmente café. El servicio es generalmente buena, pero a veces puede haber un concurrido esperar para lo que es comida sencilla,

Happened to be in the area recently and stumbled accross this cute place, only had a coffee but better than the chain one nearby! will return again when I am next in the area

I have not had such a lovely bacon sandwich for a long time!! Bacon was plentiful and crisp. Not the normal limp fat under cooked rasher in sight. Simply perfection in lovely fresh bread.The rest of our party had pannis, everyone thoroughly enjoyed those as well, great selection of fillings. Add great teas and coffees lovely friendly staff and you have the makings of a very welcome visit.Also papers available to read, I know where I would stop every morning to relax if I lived nearby. Thank you Went to Market, have a great Christmas see you in the New Year.

5 of us visited the deli for one of their cheese and wine nights they hold every so often on a Friday. £25 a ticket for all you can drink (red,white and rose. Beer also) and eat (bread,cheeses,grapes,dips). The atmosphere was brilliant! Live music and dancing on the tables by the end of the night. The ladies that run it are lovely and we were never without a drink. Have booked to go again! Brilliant evening!

Have had lots of teas and coffees here but never eaten lunch until today. The salad that I had was delicious. It was fresh and had so much flavour. The staff are always helpful and will make changes to meet dietary requirements. This is one of Leigh's best places to catch up with friends.

Every now and then I get a fancy for a panini and this is my place of choice to fulfil that need.The benches and general decor lend a distinctiveness against other eateries in Leigh and it's a nice airy atmosphere. If it's sunny day, it's an ideal location to sit outside and watch the world go by as you sip your coffee. The staff are friendly and the food is promptly prepared. (Although it's not much preparation to make a panini!)The food itself is really nice. To get the best out of the menu, I'd avoid the regular "ham and cheese" type things and go for the more interesting recipes. It's well worth it.

Have visited a couple of times and today the food was as good as ever!! What a little gem this place is. Highly recommend you try if in area! Small place but sooo nice

The staff are always pleasant - some more than others. During a recent visit I ordered a lunch which had to be sent back and I got a refund. Half of the ingredients were missing and what was presented was disgusting - both in taste and appearance. Quite expensive for what is given.

This place does fabulous breakfasts and bacon sandwiches! - Its a nice local cafe to just 'pop in' and enjoy a little break.

I hired went to market for my 30th birthday. What a great venue! The staff were very friendly and accommodating. The musician that they had hired was fab!! Everyone commenting on how great they were. Would highly recommend for a party.

Visited today with my grown up daughters for coffee and found it to be fine despite some other reviews on here. The only down side is the communal tables and benches ... we had to share with a screaming baby so not really relaxing! The coffee was nice and the pot of tea really generous and well presented. Some places in Leigh make you feel second class if you just want drinks but didn't get that impression here. We were thinking of having lunch here too today but it was heaving when we arrived so had to go elsewhere. A better table set up would help I think. Overall though it seems a good place.

Whenever a friend comes to visit we have coffee at Pig went to Market. There is always a seat and the service is good. Delicious coffee and cake.

I pop in regular if ever I'm in Leigh and have never had bad food or a bad experience, Leigh is a very busy area and most of the restaurants Tea rooms etc get very full, I think you have to accept that you have to wait sometimes for food and drinks, I understand people have Busy lives and need to rush, and if that's the case go somewhere less busy, reading one of the reviews from a person saying about an old lady that works there, are you sure you were in 'Went To Market' because there are no 'OLD LADIES' that work there, I love the panini's and coffee, and the Staff are always friendly and helpful as much as they can be for a busy deli.

I'm a regular at the Went To Market Deli and go there at least once a week, I have always found it to be a very welcoming place with polite staff and good food. The food takes a bit of time occasionally but that's to be expected when it's busy, overall my experience here has been very positive with nice atmosphere. My children absolutely love it, especially the baby chinos they do here! I was shocked to see some of the recent comments on here as a regular because my experience has always been faultless! It angers me to see picky people throwing personal comments at the staff such as 'uneducated'. Especially when there are so many grammatical errors in their reviews!Keep up the good work Went To Market!!

This is the sort of place I usually go to have a nice panini and latte with my other half, recently customer service so poor you can even hear staff making compliments(my sarcastic approach) about your orders example when you order latte comes up as cappuccino and then staff doesn't want to own their mistake and makes a compliments to other Coworker such as "are you having laugh?"... yes it is true .... it shows how Terrible and horrible uneducated rude staff is... Then I have decided to not sit in there and taking their rudeness went there again for a take away latte and after waiting approx 10 min to be served , so same old lady just served to guy behind me and she just avoided even the guy apologized I said "it's not you mate ,its her she's loosing customers "and her answer was to the guy "carry on" very interesting attitude towards customers , management needs to improve, I'll advise to entire TripAdvisor if your coming to leigh from wherever you don't want to be treated like that just go elsewhere, anywhere instead of this place. I am sure I'm not going back and blow £60 for monthly anymore that's how I look at it.

Went with my partner for lunch as our usual favourite was full so thought to try somewhere new. The staff chatted for 5 minutes amongst themselves before paying any attention to us. We ordered 2 coffees, 2 salads and a sausage roll which came to £20 which I felt was a bit expensive when our food finally come out after a 20 minute wait (even though there was only 6 other people there already eating). My salad had a lot of oil and they had initially forgotten the sausage roll, when I asked for it they said did I want it hot or cold, so I asked for hot and when they brought it out it was cold!With so much competition in the area they need to up their game.

Popped in for lunch while out shopping. We ordered 'fajita wrap' and 'mozzarella, sundried tomato, avocado wrap' and a couple of drinks. Food was okay, nothing special - the two wraps looked identical and a bit odd; they were square, like a squished parcel, not an actual wrap. The mozzarella one was hot, which was a bit strange - I expected a straightforward roll-up chilled wrap. It wasn't unpleasant, just odd (made the avocado uber-slimy). K declared his fajita wrap 'disappointing' and very ordinary. Not until we sat down did we notice the 'all day breakfast' menu on the opposite wall to the main menu wall and behind you when you order. Perhaps having both menu's together would make more sense. Almost took a nasty tumble when I trod on food under the bench - the floor around the tables/benches could have done with a good sweep to scoop up bread crusts, tomato, cheese etc etc. Overall rating - average.

First of all, 'Went to market' looks great inside and out, Aside from the chalkboard menus being unreadable..! It has a lovely atmosphere and looking menu.We just wanted a quick bite to take away, waited 5 mins whilst young staff chatted amongst themselves rather than taking our order..we then waited a further 20 mins for a toasted sandwich etc, pretty sure staff had to pop to tescos to get some ingredients...so not great if your looking to take away I guess. Upon eating the sandwich I had the feeling i had been just a little ripped off, its a tad overpriced for what you get, a hastily prepared and under toasted? A friend had the vegetable soup, upon which he had to pay an extra £1.50 for a slice of bread - Small soup portion... totalling £6? Crazy.Over all 3.5 but could easily be a 5 out of 5 with some small changes!

Popped in here unplanned and came out wanting to go again! A great deli with delicious food and lovely staff. Nice atmosphere too.

We hired Went to Market for a staff party and will definitely book again. The service, food and live music made it an excellent place for us all to get together. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone looking to hold a party. Thank you, we'll be back next year!

Visited here recently with friends and although our order was large we didn't wait too long although it was a busy time. Food was good and filling and the staff were able to make the food to our specific needs (not just what was on the menu). I have visited here before and always found the quality very good and the staff very obliging.

We called in for lunch as WTM is one of the few casual eateries in Leigh where you can easily find space for a buggy/pushchair. My wife raves about the food - it's ok as far as I'm concerned; not sure how you can get a pre-prepared and recently toasted panini wrong though. It was ok.However, the service is appalling. We had to clean the table ourselves when we first arrived as, although they took away the plates on the table, they neglected to bother to even wipe it down...not a good start. The lad who then took our order looked like he was scared of his own shadow. Drinks took about 15 minutes to arrive - not sure why I couldn't be given a bottle of beer straight away, but there you go. When the paninis finally arrived, they had no idea what was in each panini and who had ordered what. It was a shambles and I can't fathom how something as simple as getting a few drinks and a few paninis on to a table has become so complicated to the staff at WTM. Watching them at work is like watching an episode of Fawlty Towers.To make matters worse, I then watched one of the girls working at WTM knock a display of caramel slices all over the floor and then proceed to pick them up OFF THE FLOOR and put them back on display for sale. This is an eatery with a 5 star hygiene rating...I suggest the inspectors do a surprise visit. The guy toasting the paninis was completely mauling them with his hands too. All this totally put me off and the food, although pleasant enough, then felt like it was going down in lumps.I won't be returning. I'm not interested in waiting nearly half an hour for an over handled posh toastie prepared by the Keystone Cops.

Four of us called in for a lunchtime snack but were disappointed by a number of features. Firstly, service was very slow and extremely disorganised. There was no urgency to ensure that food and drinks were ordered and delivered promptly and efficiently. Secondly, we were worried about standards of hygiene at the establishment. This was brought to our attention when some chocolate and caramel slices were dropped on the floor only to be picked up and added to those displayed and for sale on the counter. Such a shame because when our panninis arrived they were very tasty. However, overall, our experience was not one that we will be repeating!

I visited Went to Mrkt twice the first time mid week when it was very quiet just for a take out coffee it took them a good 20 mins to serve me but the coffee was good so we went back for brunch the following Saturday the service was once again very slow I was eventually served my food but my friends was forgotten it wasn't a good experience eating mine while my friend watched and visa versa once we'd reminded them of her order! the staff are oblivious to what's going on around them if only the manager trained his staff I'm sure everyone's experience would improve!

Good food, excellent coffee but you can't be in a rush as very slow service. However, we will always go here knowing we have to wait as the food and drink is worth waiting for.Well done!

Visited this place several times now and it's a great place for lunch or a cup of tea/coffee and cake.Staff are always friendly and leave you to it once you have your food.Food is always good! Great sandwiches and toasties and very accommodating to your needs. different soups with yummy soft bread. Gorgeous beans on toast and delicious cookies and white chocolate and raspberry muffin. Prices are very reasonable for filling and hearty lunches all cooked fresh. Well worth a visit!

I have been here regularly over the past few years, for parties, cookery demos, cheese and wine evenings. I have danced on the tables (literally) and it has never failed to disappoint. Even thinking if booking it for my fiftieth as great size venue and live music is second to none.

We visited for lunch after a very poor experience in another local establishment on Xmas eve, and as usual were greeted by pleasant friendly staff who were happy to accommodate my fussy childs' request of a crispy bacon panini with nothing else in it which is not on their menu. We have visited here many times for lunch and always have a good experience with hot nice food simply presented , by lovely friendly staff and will continue to come here. Thank you. Now must get round to coming here for the Friday evening entertainment also!

I live close to this deli and work not too far away. I've visited both alone and with friends or work colleagues. I find the majority of the staff to be extremely rude, forgetful and unapologetic. Many times they have forgotton my order or given me the wrong order and have never apologised nor compensated.This does not go for all the staff at went to market, however the majority. Won't be taking my custom there anymore as I'm disappointed with the service and the overpriced food. And I'm not easily disappointed with food!

I've been a couple of times for a takeaway sandwiches. Selection of sandwiches are varied and unusual. Great thick doorstep bread which looks homemade. The prices aren't cheap but I wouldn't be eating there everyday just good for a treat or a change from the usual places in Leigh.

Visited with my family today for lunch. The watery cappuccino with scorched milk and a shed load of chocolate powder arrived after five minutes of taking a seat at one of the filthy tables upstairs. The staff were friendly but this was no consolation after we sat waiting for over half an hour for our sandwiches. After enquiring where our meal had got to we were informed that the order had not been processed. We left disappointed and hungry.

What's not to like! It's a bit yummy mummy sometimes and can be difficult to chat if everyone is packed around the benched tables.It's not cheap, but the quality of the produce used is very good and this is lovely for a lunch treat.The kids platter also goes down well with the little ones.

We go here quite often when my Husband is working from home. Panini's are to die for, although a couple of changes once in a while for the regulars who keep coming back have a change? The coffee is "illy" which is another reason we go as its our favorite! The staff are friendly, they are busy, which can sometimes be a little bit difficult for us as we are committed to only an hour. I have been known to wrap my food up and take it home.They have a beautiful array of produce in their deli, with some beautiful cheese and some even more beautiful sundries tomatoes! The cakes look AMAZING, unfortunately not tried as the waistline these days won't allow!!!

i love cake and cappucino. "went to market" never fails to impress. the chocolate cake was delish. illy coffee always gets top marks from me.

Shopping in Leigh today my husband suggest we pop into Went to Market for a 'spot of lunch'. The sun was shining so we decided to sit outside - my husband went in to order food and drinks........he went to the counter and waited....and waited....and noticed that one of the waitresses was busy re-arranging another waitresses long hair in the vicinity of the food prep area, obviously more important than serving customers...........we left!!!!!! There are plenty of restaurants and bars in Leigh without having to risk finding hair in a sandwich!!!

Lovely place to stop for a coffee or some breakfast. The staff are always friendly and very child friendly

Go here a lot for breakfast and lunch. They don't do a full English breakfast but they do great doorstop sandwiches with bacon etc. Very child friendly and have nice kids menu. Great paninis for lunch and good deli selection.

I have been here for coffee a few times, it's a little quirky and interesting and have not been disappointed. Cake and coffee have both been good. My only point would be that the high hairs are a little rickety and not level with the table so that is the only are that could be improved. Apart from this I like the venue and my nephew enjoyed the colouring books and pencils available to used. Would definitely return,

I have been here a couple of times now for take out sandwiches for lunch, once today a busy Saturday and once on a very quiet Sunday on both occasions I'm left waiting at the till with a que building up behind me and no acknowledgement from any of the staff for a while!! someone could at least just say they would be with you in a bit!! but nothing your completely ignored! however once they come over to take your order they are friendly and helpfull although both times they got one of the sandwiches wrong! ordered ham and colslew and got ham and pickle and then ordered mozzarella, avocado, sundried tomato and pesto but no pesto. I also thought it a little strange the lady making the sandwiches was also texting and looking at her phone, wearing no gloves and also licking her fingers to get a bag and then back touching food after licking her fingers!!!! the food however is fresh and tasty no complaints there! please be friendlier acknowledging your customers and more hygienic!!

Went here after a strange visit to the "cafe" down the road with no food!!!Lovely coffee and a lovely ham paniniThoroughly recommend

We have used 'Went to Market' a few times as we live close by. I have no complaints on the quality of the coffee or the food, but if you want your coffee served within 20 minutes of ordering then this is not the place for you! The last two times we have visited we have had to wait an age for our coffee with others who arrived after us being served before us. Leigh on Sea is a pretty laid back place for eating and drinking and if you have the time to wait a while, then great. If 20 -30 minutes to get served does not fit your day, then steer clear.

met a girl friend who was on her hour lunch break. it wasnt at all busy here. we both ordered salads they were lovely. well presented, tasty, just enough for a light lunch. would have loved a cappucino after. but didnt have time. as it took a while for our salads to arrive. and with only 15 mons of our hour left thought best not to rush them. on the own side. we sat outside and the peeps on the table next to us smoked non stop. wont sit there again. ban smoking outside please and then we can come back.

Lovely cinnamon toast and bacon sandwiches. Love their flat whites here and have been many times. They also have monthly events. The last one we went to was a cheese and wine evening. They also organised a live singer as well. All in all a lovely & lively evening.

Visited Went to Market a couple of times now. Good place to visit for a spot of lunch or a slice of cake and a coffee. They offer a good range of good quality products to purchase and have a deli where you can take away meats and cheese. The food is good overall and the coffee's are excellent. My only main complaint with this establishment is that they unexpectedly close early sometimes therefore if you travel out to eat specially I have found that on a couple of occasions they have been on wind down mode and as I was once told (quote) "Its been quiet in Leigh this afternoon so we've decided to shut early". Therefore, worth calling in advance especially on a Sunday. Don't let this put you off though...as its definitely worth a visit.

My daughters often come here with their nanny and I decided to visit a few weeks ago with my daughters ages 9 and 3. The place is child friendly with enough room to park our buggie and on one side there is a sideboard with colouring books and pencils and crayons to entertain kids. There are also newspapers for the adults. Food selection is good consisting of sandwiches and paninis etc, platters, salads, soup of the day, and a variety of snack food such as flavoured popcorns. There is beer, wine and soft drinks and also delicious milk shakes and of course coffees and teas. It is also very reasonably priced. I now take the girls there every other weekend when I have them. It is a nice set up and the food and drinks are of good quality. I will be going back.

The paninis are excellent, especially the brie, chicken and cranberry. It's a shame some of the customers seem unable to keep control of their children and the mess they make though as you have too either share one of 2 very large tables or perch on a ledge. Also all seating is on stools so none to comfortable, the high stools are particularly difficult to perch on, nowhere for your feet, nowhere for a bag to hang.

A quick review from the thirsty cat! Simply lovely says it all, try the cinnamon toast for breakfast! And a must is their cheese and wine evenings! Excellent value and a real laugh, live acoustic music to top it off, lunches are also great... Not over done just simply lovely

I've visited Went to Market a number of times, most recently November 2012. A small venue, with two large tables and bench seating, with bar stool seating along two walls, also outdoor seating on the pavement. A lovely selection of fillings for your choice of sandwich/panini etc, including plenty of vegetarian choice, some beautiful cakes and great coffee/tea selection. It is also cheaper than its rivals along The Broadway, but just as good quality. I also bought a lovely hamper of crackers, cheese and quinces last Christmas as a gift for a relative. The staff are polite, service swift and food tasty. The only reason it doesn't get 5 stars is because there is no lavatory, it's is a real shame to have to go outside to use public toilets, especially in colder months :(
