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

Always positive energy when we come in the shop, most importantly the food is the best around! Never spoilt for choice.

The severs were so nice and I got one of the best services I ever have, She was so patient and polite and helped me understand what different menu items were

Fab people, great food, lovely atmosphere and friendly service! Loved the complimentary churros. Thank you. We will be coming back!

Pre-theatre dinner in a lovely restaurant. The place was very busy at 8pm when we arrived. Told staff we needed to be be gone by half nine and they were happy to accommodate this request. Portions are very generous and the prices are very reasonable. The food was delicious and everyone was happy at our table. Also the complimentary limoncello at the end was a nice touch. We will definitely be back to enjoy the food at a more leisurely pace.

Went there due to the excellent reviews that were proved right, birthday surprise for my wife, all 12 of us had a great time all commented on the excellent choice and quality of the food and my lamb shank melted in my mouth was perfect, service was excellent and they seemed to so delighted to help, place was full which said everything. Certainly highly recommended and will be back soon.

Great venue with lovely staff. Sarah and her team do an amazing job. I can recommend events, classes or even a cuppa and yummy treat.

Lovely cafe. Always a pleasure to eat here. The owners are very friendly and we are warmly greeted each time we visit with a nice chat too. The food is delicious and freshly prepared. Can honestly say we have enjoyed every meal we have had here. This is our number one cafe to have lunch. The little talk burger is thoroughly enjoyed by my husband as is the eggs royal. On the whole we feel it’s the best cafe in Leigh-on-sea and definitely worth a visit.

Found this place by accident and so glad we did. Great food and service, reasonably priced will definitely go again.

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.

Regular returning customer. Every time food and customer service is excellent. Best wings restaurant there is!!!! Would highly recommend :)

Well cooked - very fresh tasking food - absolutely the best take away food in Southend - cooked to perfection - all my family loved the food - Oxtail - Curry Goat - Salt Fish & Ackee - & Jerk Chicken we all had & was great - & my Wife is Gluten Free - so she was able to enjoy a full meal - & she was so happy - & steam vegetables was amazing.

Tom is very welcoming visit when ever I can, great food and service, clean and plenty of parking on the London Road to stop and recharge for the day ahead. You will want to visit again.

Exactly what the name suggests - its great!! - been here a number of times, mostly for funerals - cheap beer and great atmosphere!
