The best restaurants serving British food in Milton Southend-on-Sea East of England

We popped into Milton Cafe for lunch - never been there before and so it was a random choice on our way to the theatre. Wow! The pasta dishes were lovely and the service was fantastic. Also got to try their homemade garlic bread and hot sauce. I couldn't stop eating! Really friendly, lovely atmosphere and next time we're in Southend I'd definitely go again. And prices all good too. Thanks for a great experience!

Visited Sunday and had a delicious Sunday Roast. I had Beef and my husband had lamb. Served with fresh vegetables and traditional Yorkshire pudding. The Chocolate cake that was served as dessert was also delicious, according to my husband! Great value and highly recommend.

Tasty, good priced dining experience. Many options for both food and drink. FYI we found best value parking at Victoria Avenue, SS2 6AL!

Me & my sister in law came down to Genting to try The Waterfront Restaurant new menu. Firstfull we have been greeted by the lovely receptionist who was really polite. Walking through casino felt like a mini journey to Vegas. We have then made our way to the bar. Within minutes we have been served by a really polite gentlemen, who had really good knowledge of the drinks menu. We have than entered the restaurant and had been greeted and sitted by the professional waiting staff . We had a table by the window which had an amazing Themes view. Our appetisers has arrived within couple of minutes, followed by the starters. The chorizzo bites and calamari was really tasty. My sister in law had ask for her Seabass to be not to spicy which came out perfectly cooked. I had a fillet steak with surf & turf which was done exactly to my liking. They also had a dj after 10 o'clock which created a very good atmosphere after few drinks. It was a lovely experience and I would definately recommend to anyone to come and try out this lovely place. I cannot thank enough all of your lovely staff who created such an amazing atmosphere and made our experience so enjoyable.

Just had team lunch here with fabulous service and food in a beautiful setting. First time visit to these tea rooms - excellent.

Absolute amazing service Bangers were on point ! Best breakfast around

Lovely service, great little place and lovely food. Hard to choose with all the cafes and restaurants in the area - but highly recommend Lena’s!!!

Took us an hour from us ordering, to us recieving the food, which was luke warm by the time we recieved. Shame, as ive ordered from here before and its always been pleasant.

A great cafe with a pleasant atmosphere. I had a lovely roast dinner, which was served to me promptly and piping hot. A good size portion and very delicious. The cafe is very clean and well presented. I am very happy to recommend this cafe.

We booked here as a birthday meal. Having decided to try somewhere different for us , this was very much a random choice. Which turned out very well as this is a most delightful restaurant. With a relaxing ,gentle atmosphere but not too quiet (we ate early so it hadn't got too busy) , the gentleman looking after us was friendly and very helpful with our questions on the menu. The food was served quickly, hot and fresh made, and if Potuguese food is your thing , will not disappoint. Thoroughly recommended, we'll be returning.

We stopped here by chance & so glad we did. The gentleman running the cafe (on behalf of his daughter I believe) was an absolute gem, he made time to chat to everyone, entertained us all & provided top notch service along with the rest of the team! You would never have known they were short staffed as the service was great. Food was delicious (best bacon sarnie I’ve had for a while) Next time we visit Southend we will definitely return!

A lovely cosy restaurant on the sea front, amazing service and food. The owner Dino is extremely helpful and gave our two dogs sausages. We cannot wait to return in the summer. Highly recommend.

Brilliant breakfast. Everything was spot on cooked to perfection. Toast bacon egg hash brown perfect tea. Very tasty. Just note its cash only. Good service efficient. Best breakfast. Good value too.

Loved this place. Great food, great price, variety of menus. Did meals like Shepherds pie, liver & bacon etc. Was sad when I discovered that the cafe had closed down.

Be prepared for the horrible smell!! It's hard to eat as the smell of cats and litter trays is so strong. There is no ventilation so very stuffy. They also make you wait without any explanation so you keep ringing the bell as they ignore you. There was a tall skinny lad serving who was very rude, chatting about personal things to other cuatomers when people arw waiting to be aerves. He also ignores the bell to get in, leaving people waiting outside the door who are told to arrive on time then left to wait. Also the cuppacino is awful, it's that cheap packet powder stuff that taste awful. The only plus where the cats. We would never go back.
