This kept coming up on FB so I thought I'd give it a go and I'm very pleased I did! Quirky, homely place with relaxing atmosphere and friendly, attentive staff. And the food... WOW! I experienced the "Bubble and Chic" which gave the old bubble and squeak a delicious revamp and my son, who has an enormous appetite and is known to inhale food, was finally full from the "Big Kahuna" burger, which was basically half a cow in a bun that my son said was the best burger ever! The haloumi fries that we ordered as a side where a a step too far, a case of eyes bigger than belly but we still managed to eat half of the generous portion, would have been rude not to!Cannot recommend this place enough and will be returning ASAP, a real gem that reminds me of the old funky Southend.
Had the best lunch!
- boyfriend had a proper mug of tea which he loved.
- lots of brie and spinach sauce on his Green Hornet burger too which was a bonus.
- the BBQ Jackfruit Barrito is one of the best (if not the best) vegan meal I've had, lots of flavour and plenty of food on the plate.
- customer service was great. The lady working today was so friendly and welcoming.
My only niggle is that I didn't come here sooner!
Came here today for fathers day-food was amazing.burgers and buttermilk chicken were yummy. Loved the bubble and squeak fries-just wish portion of those were the same size as portion of fries as they were sooo good. Never seen my daughter wolf a whole burger of that size before. Definetly need to come back to try more! Lovely
You catered for our last minute group booking for my friends hen do.. let us put up ridiculous banners, (thanks, and sorry!) gave us our own space.. And topped it all off with food so good that if I hadn't been in public I could have licked the plate clean just to get the last bits!! I can't wait to come back and have spoken of nothing else all weekend! Amazing! Sweet chilli halloumi fries - to die for! X
Fabulous food and friendly service, tried the chicken souvlaki for lunch yesterday, huge plate of absolutely delicious tasty food, I would thoroughly recommend this little gem ....
Just been to this little treasure what amazing food,lovely quirky friendly place,food was outstanding and staff so friendly would highly recommend
Had the most wonderful salt beef in toasted bread with mustard red cabbage and slithers of lightly pickled cucumber. The best salt bee you can have. Will now go back to try the salt beef breakfast. Looks amazing. The coffee was nice too just like I like it. Well done to the lovely girl who served us even if she was busy and under pressure. She did a grand job and made time for us. See you real soon.��

I had the vegan tempeh chicken burger yesterday, was honestly one of the best meals I've ever had in a restaurant! Staff are super friendly and always nice to sit outside and enjoy the meals! Thankyou legendeli again for a delicious meal!
Amazing! After hearing loads of good things and wanting to go for ages we decided to do their Xmas menu and it didn’t disappoint. The vegan options were amazing and they were so friendly too!! Definitely will come back xxx
Absolutely love this place 💜 Took my mum here a couple of years ago as a Mother's Day treat and it's the place she heads for every time she visits Southend now 😊 Went with mum and the kids yesterday and we were all more than happy, my daughter is veggie and there was plenty of choice for her. Lovely staff, good prices, just wish it was bigger so I could take more people!
Loads of delicious vegetarian and vegan choices. Love being able to get tempeh outside of Indonesia � There is something for everyone here, and the staff are all so friendly and welcoming
Went last night with some friends, the food was AMAZING!!!
The staff were sooo...lovely and helpful. What a little gem of a place, I will definitely be coming back �
Wow wow and wow again. When you’re at home watching those late night TV programmes that make you want to travel the world for some fine food - well this demon craving has been exorcized and only 15 mins from my house!!! You MUST try this place. Awesome!
Fabulous meal and service, thank you. Would definately recommend and we'll be back! Xx
Popped in for some lunch - didn’t disappoint. Hot salt beef, mustard and gherkin beigel 👌🏻
Amazing roast, would definitely recommend! Ordered online and quick delivery (cash or card). We’ve already ordered the Christmas Day delivery kit.
We have been meaning to go here for sometime now, after seeing all the positive reviews online. We went on Saturday at 12:30 and had a table booked, which turns out was a smart move! Even with outside seating people were turned away because the place was full! I had a special jerk chicken burger and the misses a saltbeef bap thing, plus we split a side of prawn & battered pork belly. The food was great and the service friendly but not overly familiar.
For the food you get (freshly prepared) the price is more than fair.
Pros - Good food - Good price - nice staff - independent local business
Cons - small establishment (not an issue if you book like we did)
The best roast we have ever had delivered!
Superb food and really generous portions.
Highly recommend!
Always a great place to eat, delicious food, friendly staff and owners. Absolutely recommended. Revisited again recently and as good as ever. The Walter White is a regular order, I want to try so many things but I keep coming back to it.
I ordered food for collection through their app which is great and easy to use (with the bonus of 10% off your first order 👍🏻). I had a very short wait when I arrived to collect, as the food was still being prepared. Which was great as it meant my food was fresh and hot. The lady who served me was lovely. We had one of their family sharing platters which was utterly delicious🤤. An all-round great experience from ordering to eating. I look forward to eating from here again.
This is the second time that I've visited Legend Deli. We went for a valentine's day lunch and was not disappointed. Fantastic food, great service, and a relaxed atmosphere. For what you get, as you can see from the the size of the hot chicken and gravy sandwich in the photograph, the prices are very reasonable, and the quality fantastic. Highly, highly recommend a visit.
Their sunday roasts are just like your nans 11/10 totally banging, unless you were very unlucky and yours didn't know how to cook haha. The staff here are also very nice, helpful and really polite too. Definitely the best place in town to eat. Thank you.
Great food delivered piping hot, best fries I've had for a long time, MASSIVE portions, great sauces, spot on jollof with peas (black beans) and all cooked to perfection.
I struggle to find take aways who offer non meat proteins besides cheese, so it's great that they have a really good soya chaap option for the gyros and jollof boxes too, which works perfectly. Can't recommend enough 👌
Husband and I both poorly. So ordered a roast and dessert. Was absolutely delicious thank you so much. Will know to order less next time as very generous portion size. Who is gonna feed us now until you open again on Wednesday?
Visited as they opened Saturday, with visiting family for Brunch. Was not disappointed, another table was served before us and we were apologised to, however, we were having sausages ! and to get a decent sausage cooked fresh! the short wait was understandable. Good choice of menu, which was previously accessed online before we decided to try. We were happy with our visit, food and service, and it seems like a place that would get very busy at times.
Legend Deli is always a great shout for a takeaway over the weekend. I managed to have a takeaway on Saturday and mothers day roast on Sunday! Both were perfect the pesto lance burgers were delicious and the gyros was succulent. Then the roast on Sunday was simply immense the mums were overjoyed! Always recommend and you never disappoint! Thanks guys!
Just received my first Sunday roast from legend deli , they are legends best roast I had in years . Delivery arrived nice and hot and on time . Will definitely be getting another one A+++
Amazing place I've been recommended by multiple people. Gf is vegan so it can be tricky to find a place for us to both confortably eat and also have good, tasty food.
Vegan menu is very detailed and unique and with a good few choices. The regular menu even more so, I ordered the buttermilk chicken strips and some cheese and bacon croquettes. The breadcrumb of the chicken was such a unique and great taste. Gave me a flavour trip of nastalgia, still can't think where I have tasted it before. Very satisfying and the portion sizes were fantastic.
I highly recommend this place, the staff were friendly and even wrapped my leftovers up as I wanted to take it home!
Great food always excellent. The portions size will leave your eyes popping out when they bring the food to table. Not the biggest place to eat inside, but they do also have outdoor seating area. Staff are friendly and helpful, however they do seem slightly understaffed. This however didn't diminish our visit to this lovely hidden gem in Southend.
1st time with the roast dinners,nice and hot the beef was the best then chicken ,pork last, potatoes and Yorkshire puds knockout the gravy was great ( bit thicker next time ).
Quality food and service.
