About The Mews
On Nelson Mews in Southend On Sea, The Mews pairs a ground-floor bar with brickwork and leather sofas alongside a first-floor restaurant serving European and Asian dishes. The kitchen makes its food in-house, and Sunday roasts bring roast beef with roast potatoes. There are no reservations, the room runs on a walk-in basis, and the space is also booked for gatherings such as birthday parties. The bar and restaurant occupy the same building, giving visitors a choice between a drink downstairs and a full meal above it.

“I had my 40th at the Mews last night. They were excellent. We aren't spoilt for choice around Leigh/Southend for venue hire. So when I enquired about having at The Mews, I knew they wouldn't disappoint. If you ask and talk to the staff they will accommodate for you. Perfect place to go for a gathering or some food and a drink, highly recommend.”

“We had a wonderful roast beef lunch here today. The atmosphere was lovely and really warm and welcoming. The roast beef was excellent, well cooked and full of flavour. The service was also friendly, attentive, and efficient without being intrusive. It genuinely feels like a hidden gem and we’ll definitely be coming back again. Highly recommended...”
