The best restaurants serving Default food in Chalkwell Southend-on-Sea East of England

Tonight was fantastic! what wonderful staff and service, definitely worth every penny. My kids tried the lamb souvla, their weekend special. I had the stifado which was tender with a lot of unique flavours. This restaurant should be on your to do list if in Westcliff. The family run environment is a lovely atmosphere to be in 🙂

Just had a lovely brunch on a Sunday morning. Delicious food and coffee, friendly and accommodating staff, lovely decor. You can tell they’ve sent lots of time and effort to make it look nice. Very floral! Will be returning when we’re next in Westcliff

Great bakery with delicious range of hot food, pastries, hot drinks. The cheese steak bake in wholemeal bread was delicious with the jalapenos peppers too. Smooth coffee. Flaky creamy sweet pastel de natas. Outdoor seating too. Thank you!

Two out of the three meals we ordered were incorrect. My husband has dairy allergy so instead of mash asked for chips, but still got mash, I asked for chicken with salad but got lamb with rice!!!

Great spot with great atmosphere! The staff was great , especially Lauren. She greeted me with a huge smile as soon as I walked in and you could tell she truly is a kind person with a silly sense of humour. From personality to professionalism she has it all!! The Cork dork is really lucky to have her. Will definitely be back. 10/10

What an amazing meal!!! Can't fault at all, highly recommend Fella had steak, I had a pasta with prawns and smoked salmon, absolutely delicious 👌

We always enjoy eating at Ricardo's and are made very welcome. The food is excellent, as is the service. It is our family's favourite place to eat.

Excellent service throughout Beautiful food. Grazie tutti.

In the area and fancied a bit of fish and chips so after a walk along the front I chose to pop in here. Found a table near the back and chose what I was going to have before heading down to place my order. Two members of staff on and the younger of the two served me, firstly apologising as it was table service and she didn’t realise I was ready to order. To be fair to her I’d only been sat less than a minute. She was really happy in her work, not false happy, really pleasant and welcoming. She was also very chatty when she brought over my food. She’s a credit to this business. The food was good, a decent price and I left full and happy. What more do ya need on a cold Tuesday night in November?

Very busy so be prepared to queue but worth the wait and the staff are very pleasant and kind. Clean place too. All different types of food and drinks, plus ice creams. Sells buckets/spades/crabbing lines and jewellery too.

Great value for money. The coffees are superb. The breakfasts are great made with local products. First class service Now called Leigh Road Cafe. New owner!

Lovely pub. An excellent selection of food on the menu. Exceptional staff. Attentive and friendly.
