The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in East of England

Returned for the warm vegan sausage rolls and cappuccino followed by apple pie slice and cream, delicious. Tables ltd to only 5.

We dropped in for afternoon tea. Fabulous friendly hospitality, delicious cake and the best hot chocolate in the world according to my son!

I ordered a Graze Table for a group of 12 which was delivered and set up by Laury so no work for me! Everyone really enjoyed the colourful range of food and the sausage rolls, vegan rolls, spanakopita (have I spelt that right?) and arancini were highly praised. My fish loving friends buzzed around the fish platter with the cat being pretty impressed too. The Brownies were gooey delicious and the Pavlova melt in the mouth.

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.

2nd visit, love the great position and lovely staff. Easy access to town and cathedral. We walked from the train station .

As ever the Thompsons Close cafe team have looked after us with their friendliness and warm and kind atmosphere. An oasis of peace in a busy world.

Absolutely fantastic place for food and/or coffee. This place is run by WONDERFUL staff. The chef has a real passion for food. The Saturday night foraging menus are something to write home about. We enjoyed every single bite- Thank you

Just home from a superb Afternoon Tea. The service was excellant. The staff were helpful, friendly, and nothing was too much trouble. When we accidentally mistook the pickle intended for the cheese scone, as jam for the fruit one - they came up trumps with another fruit scone and pots of jam were provided. A truly lovely afternoon.

Staff very polite and enthusiastic we partook of a bacon sandwich each with my wife having sausage with hers. Both sandwiches were presented well and they tasted fantastic especially with the bread being so fresh.

My favourite friendly hitchin vino hide away. Love all the staff. Dania Enright your the perfect amount waitress and smiles to compliment gorgeous wine!!!!!!

A small, friendly coffee shop. There are a couple of seats by the window, but really it’s a take away place. Good coffee. Limited opening hours

Wonderful cafe restaurant. Took my family who were visiting from Australia to enjoy a Sunday Roast and get together. Fabulous vegan meals, snacks and desserts. The staff are passionate about their food and are so friendly. The decor is warm and inviting ☺️. We enjoyed sausage and onion plait and the best nut roast I have ever eaten. I had no room for dessert however my son and his girlfriend managed a biscoff cheesecake and lemon tart - wonderful. Would thoroughly recommend - and they are dog friendly too 🥰

I am not vegan. I am not even vegetarian, but what an amazing experience. Family and friends booked the whole restaurant for my husbands Sisters 60th surprise birthday party, and what a lovely evening it was. The three course meal was exceptional, what a very talented chef. The two lovely front of house ladies were so attentive. I can't praise the Cradle enough.

Great place for good food and friendly atmosphere (dogs included 🐶 )!! So many savoury and sweet options and amazing coffee!!

fantastic coffee fantastic fruit scone lovely Staff well sanitized tables well spaced well recommend a visit well done everyone
