Want to say a huge thank you to Jordan and his team for helping me to arrange a surprise party for my husbands 40th. We made use of their private room, which was the ideal size for around 30 guests. We were able to get in early to decorate, and staff were very helpful! The food was delicious and incredibly plentiful and good value for the choice and amount. I would absolutely hire for a special occasion again, thank you!

Top quality roast dinners are hard to come by in Southend, until I found this place. Great portion sizes, beautifully presented, and it tasted even better. The atmosphere was the cherry on top, the place just oozes class and the staff are extremely friendly. Exactly where you want to be on a Sunday. I’ll definitely be back soon.

Great little restaurant to eat. Don’t take bookings only a walk-in service but will call you back when/if a table becomes available. Food was excellent and reasonably priced. Would definitely go there again. Offered us a 2 course lunch on a Friday for £18.95. (Main and dessert) I had mussels which was a good choice. They don’t have a liquor licence but you are welcome to bring in your own alcoholic drinks. This will save you a few quid. Tables are very limited but all have an excellent sea view. Service excellent and staff very friendly.

The Seafood Shack

32-35 Eastern Esplanade, Southend-on-Sea

We were looking for a seafood restaurant and came across this hidden gem, well worth a visit if in the area. Fresh ingredients, unique flavours and decent value for money.

Beverages were good especially the cocktails.

Food wise - Our favourite was the seafood boil ? messy, flavourful and extremely tasty. Firecracker prawns was another fave and good portion sizes. Garlic bread was divine and the best we've ever eaten.

Service could have been better as we would have ordered more drinks if the waitrons checked in more frequently. It was a big bill and the waitress was rude and did not want to add the tip to the bill citing they do not get the tips. That put a dampener on a really good dining experience.

Either way will visit again soon.

The Mews completely blew me away. There were quite a few of us in our party, but The Mews staff were on the ball and very attentive, and the cocktails went down a treat!!. Every bite of the food was amazing, everyone loved it, it truly was Michelin quality!! The recipes were thoughtful, and impossible to forget. The staff made the evening effortless, friendly, and fun, while the space itself somehow manages to feel both cozy and special. The menu has something for everyone, portions hit the sweet spot, and leaving hungry isn’t an option. Honestly, it’s one of those rare spots that makes you already plan your next visit on the way out.... I can't wait to go again!!

Had the pleasure of attending a Burns Supper at this lovely establishment last night. A 3 course meal complete with a piper and a proper addressing of the Haggis. Food was spectacular, the addition of creamed leeks to the haggis, neeps and tatties was a standout. The Crannachan was fantastic too. Got chatting to the lovely owner and it’s clear she takes a lot of pride in and takes a great deal of care in making the restaurant a success. We’ll definitely be returning.

Our local. Attend the monthly quiz night where a group of us all eat before the quiz. Gets very busy. Food choice is fairly limited but all options are usually excellent. On normal day or evening visits, like most pubs, amount of people there varies. Had a few Sunday lunches which also are very good.
