Amazing food with the best family ever running it. The staff are so helpful and friendly. The food is outstanding, you will not have a bad meal that's for sure. I would recommend this place to everyone. Get yourselves down there !! Thank you Sam and Mum xx
Could not fault this place. Fantastic quality and quantity of food much better than standard high street restaurants, reasonably priced and excellent service. The head chef is a credit to the establishment and took time to talk to us and explain the history of the place. Definitely recommend and the best place to eat in Southend. Well done to you all :)
5+ stars! Amazed by both the quality of food and attitude of staff! Both exceeded the level you would expect at such a place!
Food presented like in a 5 Michelin-star restaurant, portion size is very filling.
Professionality and friendliness of staff is well beyond the highest level you can imagine.
This is one of the best cafes you will eat in ! Food is amazing and the service is fabulous and very friendly !! I recommend the steak pie ! X
Excellent service and food but didn’t except normal chips expected typical fat chips... oh well, but the taste was great!
Very friendly staff and very good food 👍 Big favourite!!! 🤗
Really welcoming and freindly, attentive staff... The omelette was not all that and can't comment on the rest of there food but the kind nature of the staff far outweighed anything else. Lovely vibe on a Saturday evening as the sun sets! Not that you can see it but still...and the noise of them flash car's the youngsters fly past in can be loud if you have kids. I didn't mind it...
I have visited this cafe once every now and then for many years. I can trust the food, there's always a smile for me, and the best hot chocolate you can buy (well, so says my daughter, I prefer a nice cup of tea.) The prices are great and, somehow, it always seems peaceful in amongst the racket of the seafront. I don't really want to write a review, I want it to remain a hidden gem, but if you are passing, it is well worth a visit.
Best little place in town!!! Staff and owner very friendly and welcoming... food is great... seafood platter for 2 upon request is amazing!!! No longer on menu but do ask if it’s available... brings us back here every year... Thanks...
First time I have visited this place. Inside, it is clean, tidy and welcoming. Menu is varied and very reasonably priced.
They do not take card in here; its cash only.
Food was nice and very well presented. I asked for some mayo and was pleasantly surprised to be given some genuine Heinz Mayo which is a nice touch.
Staff are very friendly and accommodating.
Excellent food and great customer service! We didn't catch the waiter's name but he was extremely polite and made our first visit very enjoyable 🙏🏼😀i wish every restaurant /cafe /bar had such a nice atmosphere and outstanding customer service!
Great food. Wonderful staff. What more can I ask for
5 star service in a very small Café under the arches of Southend Pier. There is no toilet due to location, but there are some across the road in Adventure Island.
The fish and chips were delicious and for a change relatively inexpensive! Whoop Whoop!
The noise of the traffic outside can spoil the atmosphere, but staff are not at fault for this.
We'll definitely be back at some point 👍
Its clean, tidy and has good choices on the menu!
Went in today for the first time, for cod and chips.
Definitely worth a visit. Nice food, nice service.
Great little place.
Lovely food and very polite staff, meals weren't too expensive. unfortunately no toilets on site there are public toilets outside which are shared between all the establishments which were filthy this is not the restaurants fault
the man who runs the cafe is very freindly. and he likes to chat to customers. if hes not to rushed of his feet. all his food is freshly cooked. and he opens up a lot earlyer than the other cafes next to him
Nice fish and chips but a word of warning to fellow Northeners, the "large" cod is the same size as our standard ones.
Excellent food and service.....always first visit of the day
Been going here for 9 years, great food from an owner who genuinely cares about the quality, highly recommend!
Lovely place, fantastic people, great food, reasonable prices.
Food here is absolutely spot on, if you're in Southend and you're feeling a little hungry for some fish and chips, don't give this place a miss.
