  “Visited Southend today, ended up walking to "the end of the main strip". We decided to get a drink and some food and this was the place in view. What a nice place, definitely worth the extra 5 minutes walk to get there from the main town. Food was good, service was good, the people working there are polite and quite happy to have a natter with you. Can't fault it at all, and it will definitely be the place we go when in Southend. I had a bacon burger and chips, only unfortunate occurrence was that I wanted a bacon cheeseburger, but they used the quality grated cheese, whereas I prefer the cheap crap processed cheese!, but the burger was excellent without the cheese. It's also a motorbike friendly cafe where you can safely park outside. Thanks, glad we stopped there.”

  “I went with my partner and ordered a decent amount of lunch. Everything was done to perfection and tasted lovely. I was honestly really surprised of the price they're charging. When I next come to South end, I will 100% be dining here again.”

  “Milkshakes are fantastic, bacon, and sausages are great. Bread is too thick, hash browns and chips too oily and my omelette was burnt on the outside and uncooked in the middle really not acceptable you have to be careful with eggs. We were not asked how the meal was I would of like money taken off the omelette as was not edible the service by 1x lady not great the first day and the next day 2x ladies was much nicer and friendlier. They should ask how the food is.”

  “Stopped here for some lunch on a busy day. Food was excellent, chips were nice and my cod was cooked well with a lovely light batter. My daughters nuggets were really good and she is usually very fussy about nuggets. Service was excellent too and Jessie who served us was very helpful and really lovely.”

  “I specifically read on the menu that asparagus was going to be on my eggs Benedict but there wasn't any on my eggs. I saw other pics with it though and they didn't say anything to us, about why there was no asparagus. Basically expecting us to accept that I guess, which I did . But then the Poached eggs were undercooked. I've never had poached eggs served so undercooked. Could not have seen it until much later as it was smothered in hollandaise sauce. That's not always a bad thing. But I was disappointed. I was told that's how they do poached eggs :s ...that being said, I basically could not eat the breakfast. And rather than properly doing over the dish I accepted they do one poached egg, which was much better done. Honestly the presentation wasn't super great compared to another breakfast place nearby. The coffee was okay. Nice decor.”

  “Lovely little seaside cafe. Popped in here for lunch with the little ones and had a very nice meal. Portions are generous, service is quick and prices very reasonable. My Eggs Benedict with asparagus and crispy bacon, came out hot, well presented and tasted delicious, not sure if the hollandaise was home made but it was very good, either way. The jacket potato’s were huge, with plenty of filling and the sandwich we ordered was delicious, made with fresh, thick cut bread and good quality ham. Would certainly recommend to others and definitely intend to pop back again ourselves. Update: Their Ploughman’s are fantastic!”
