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

Perfect: clean, good bed, good quality breakfast and a perfect bathroom. Worth visiting.

I'd ordered Fish & Chips with a salad. I ate I think 2 mouthfuls and noticed in tge middle of tge fish what looked like uncooked batter, yellowish in colour. It completely put me of off the meal. I took the plate to the counter and asked "what is that, is it uncooked batter". "No I was told, it's Tumeric, we put Tumeric on our fish. "Tumeric, I repeated on fish & chips", that's completely put me off I said". At this point I was told "Well everybody else likes it", "Not in the slightest, I said", and then she went on to say, "we've always put Turmeric on our fish & chips". I wasn't offered an alternative or a fresh meal, equally Tumeric was not listed as an ingredient and I confess I wasn't looking for it in fish & chips. Also, despite handing back a virtually untouched meal, the women was actually offensive when she was overly polite and said, thank you, have a lovely evening and goodbye! It absolutely came across as being really sarcastic. I walked away feeling like I was just a pain to them, the service was awful, dreadful customer service I actually left hungry and paid £19 for the experience!

First time here and tried because of good reviews and wasn’t disappointed at all. Prefer to keep things local and glad I experienced this gem 😊 will be back 😀

All round amazing!!! The food is freshly made and delicious, service is on point and the atmosphere welcoming. We will be back soon, we travel for the day from Milton Keynes just to have lunch here or dinner. We highly recommend it!

Friendly staff and excellent food

food was great couldn’t fault it the staff were very friendly and welcoming our friend was 18 the day we went and was given a nice surprise by the staff we will go back and would recommend to others thank you

Just stopped on the off chance to get a double espresso and a black coffee I’ll get around a bit. I think a lot of coffee and it’s the best coffee I’ve tasted and I drove out of my way to come again the next day 👍

Amazing service! What a lovely, attentive, friendly owner! He made our experience wonderful from the start. It was late as we had been to adventure island with our 3 children and I was apprehensive as to what would still be open at 9.45pm. So glad we found this place- food was delicious, well priced but what made the night for us was the kindness of the owner! We had fish and chips, sausage in batter and a side of mozzarella sticks- all perfect! Thank you 😊

Anson Court Care Home Review. We visited Southend-On-Sea yesterday with residents/family members and staff. unfortunately we were let down very last minute from another restaurant. Wish you were here was literally our live saver, trying to find somewhere last minute for 34 people is not easy. Jade, Lee and Lacey were just wonderful and they couldn't of been anymore helpful. As a big group with lots of wheelchairs we literally took over the whole restaurant. The food and service was amazing and we couldn't of asked for anymore. Once again ladies, thank you so much. We will definitely be back :-)

Fabulous ice cream, and friendly service, lots of choices the pistachio is to die for Highly recommended 🍨 You can buy tubs for your freezer too😉

What a gem! Having driven by this place a number of times, I finally had an opportunity to pop in this Saturday afternoon. A friendly, welcoming place full of happy dogs, happy people and tasty home cooked food.

Visited this morning with my family before we set off back to London after a short break. Food was extremely tasty and the service was excellent. If I'm ever back in Southend I'll definitely be visiting this cafe again.

Great place to put your head down after a night out

Excellent service lovely atmosphere and beautiful interior , really enjoyed my tea and lunch here, thank you ☺️
