What Our Customers Say

  • Steve M.

    I took a group of 8 family members to this restaurant and how impressed we were. The restaurant is lovely and the food was delicious. The staff are very friendly and it has a lovely relaxed atmosphere. I will definitely be going there soon.

  • Michelle D.

    Me and my husband popped in for breakfast, husband had a fry up and I had the omelette (which was massive), both were absolutely delicious. Coffee was delicious and as for the fresh orange juice, oh my word... fantastic.
    Staff were lovely, the restaurant was clean and decorated beautifully, would I recommend? 100%. Fresh clean food at a good price and if you're inclined you can walk it off down the seafront or at the park afterwards. Thanks guys for a great restaurant.

  • Nathaniel B.

    We had breakfast today 6 August 2025. Was very tasty. The staff were brilliant, the place is lovely and as I've said the food was delicious. Long may you continue and we will definitely be back next time we are in Southend.

  • Lindsay R.

    I don't want to spoil it by saying too much but we were so very (and pleasantly) surprised by the high quality of the food, service and the furnishings and the quality of the food! Did I say that? It was relaxed and comfortable and beautiful. A must try! Such reasonable prices too. What a gem! Thank you!
