About Star Cafe Pie and Mash Rayleigh
Star Cafe Pie and Mash Rayleigh is a British restaurant at 74 High St in Rayleigh, close to Rayleigh Mount. The kitchen serves pie and mash alongside eels and mash, and it runs a traditional café breakfast menu all day, so a cooked breakfast sits on the same card as the pies. Jacket potatoes cover the lighter end of the menu for anyone not after a pie. Breakfast can be built to order, with a make-your-own option that lets each diner choose what goes on the plate.

Customer Review Summary
Pie and mash draws the most praise, with one diner calling it as good as you would get and a family travelling from Oxford for it and loving it. Eels and mash gets a direct recommendation from one reviewer, and another singles out liver, bacon and onions with fresh veg. Cooked breakfast comes close behind, including a make your own breakfast, a breakfast sandwich and poached eggs on toast with a runny yolk, alongside coffee described as excellent. Burger and chips, sausage and chips for children and a jacket potato with tuna also appear. Staff are repeatedly called friendly, one reviewer found them accommodating of dietary restrictions, and others mention reasonable prices, decent portions and a busy mix of families, couples and solo diners. Complaints are minor. One diner found the inside too noisy when busy and noted smokers near the outside tables, and another wished for tinned tomatoes to soak into bread. The same reviewer found the bacon too thick on a first visit, then asked for it thinner and got it.
