About Clarence Restaurant & Cafe
On Clarence St in Southend On Sea, Clarence Restaurant & Cafe is a breakfast restaurant and cafe operating on a walk-in basis, with no reservations taken. The full English breakfast anchors the morning menu, while the liver and bacon comes with cabbage, carrots and broccoli. Table service runs from the counter to the room, with a waitress bringing dishes out. Payment is cash only, so it's worth coming prepared.

Customer Review Summary
Breakfast is what most reviewers come back for, with the full English singled out as delicious and generous, and one reviewer noting a partner's English breakfast and a friend who rates the breakfasts. Close behind is the liver and bacon, which one diner ordered on all four visits, served with cabbage, carrots and broccoli, while another had it with chips. Reviewers repeatedly describe the portions as generous, the food as tasty and cooked to perfection, and the value as great. The cafe is called clean and bright, and the staff friendly, polite and welcoming, with one visitor returning for three mornings on a holiday and another always stopping in when in Southend. The one complaint comes from a reviewer who marked it down a star because the mushrooms were small, dry and wrinkly, which they suspected was a one-off, adding that they would still eat there again. A van driver notes a loading bay directly outside, and one reviewer mentions a full English and two cups of tea coming to just over twelve pounds.
