The best restaurants in Leigh Southend-on-Sea East of England

will go there again service great food fantastic Went with family good service friendly great food all around great place good value

Nestled in Leigh on sea we have truly a hidden gem. With great food, amazing service and fantastic prices I really was blown away. Leigh has a great coffee scene and for me Tea and Tiffin encompasses the very best of the local area. A perfect blend of a family friendly cafe whilst being able to cater for even the fanciest of coffee connoisseurs it can really do it all.

Introduced to this lovely place by a friend and it’s just lovely. Popped in for a quick coffee and a bagel- really friendly and I feel comfy popping in on my for a quick coffee and snack!

My boyfriend and I shared a gluten free blonde slice. I have struggled with getting gluten free products from bakeries due to my anxiety around the cross contamination however the display is kept completely separate and sealed when taken away from the shop. My boyfriend is not gluten free and said the blonde was so good that he didn’t believe it was gluten free! We have also had a birthday cake (gluten free) which was also delicious

I would love to say a massive thank you to Reni , she is always kind and makes a good hot latte. :)

Love this place, good service friendly chat. Good donuts and coffee and always end up buying some cool skate clothing. Avoid the chains and support local.

We came to buy shellfish today. I have always really loved shellfish. Bought winkles and shrimps, would have loved to buy much more, but be back another day as all looked to appetizing. Staff friendly and helpful. Highly recommend. I plan to return within the week.

We didn’t get to take photos of the starters or when we got the toasties, cause they were so delicious!!! We always come to Grate when we want to eat great food, have amazing service and a very good price. This is a must in Leigh on sea!

A very quiet Wednesday evening meal! Food and drink good, with attentive service

Worth every one of their stars. The food is really fabulous and the quirky atmosphere makes it a family affair for sure. The owners have lived in Portugal before so they do lots of food choices but are a gem for those who love portuguese food.

Came for brunch and this place is AMAZING! First of all, the atmosphere is beautiful. The ceiling is gorgeous and its very well decorated. Seats are very comfortable and though the restaurant looks small, its actually very roomy and doesn't feel cramped at all! There is also outdoor seating wich is also great The brunch menu has a good selection for food, and many options for alcaholic drinks. They also serve tea, coffee and soft drinks. I had the American pancakes which came with: Pancakes, bacon and scrambled egg ( or the option of tofu ) with honey on the side. At first i thought the portion was small, but it was VERY fufilling. Bacon was nice and salty, eggs were nice and the pancakes were AMAZING. so tasty and fluffy, i was very surprised. The staff are so lovely, and overall the experience was amazing! Would very much recommend and i am definitely coming again!

Imaginative "eat well" menu range, full flavours, and the extra ingredients shine through. 100% nutritious. Welcoming inside bar and table seating. (Also a garden.)

10 of us visited for dinner last week. Holly our waitress was fantastic - she couldn’t have done anymore to make us all feel welcome and cater to everyone’s requests - thank you!! The food was also great, the pizzas are delicious and we’d all highly recommend the pistachio tiramisu! We will be back!

Popped along one evening. Found a space in the road outside. They have a great menu with lots of ingredients. You can make your own or go for one of the set waffles. We had lots of fun decided what to do. I opted for ice cream a mixture of vanilla, smarties, chocolate sauce etc while the rest of the family went for bubble waffles. There were a few tables outside to eat. Everything tasted delicious
