Best Casual Restaurants in Southend-On-Sea

Reliable spot with bowling green views. In a trendy conservation area. Certainly unique to Southend. Away from the usual seaside type of eateries. Hidden spot we go to here from east London. Food always fresh, locally sourced. Sunday roasts are a treat and one for the classic quiet ambience of the former bowling green clubhouse. Akin to what one expects from independent gastro pubs or bistros in Islington and Greenwich. Except prices are reasonable, the decor is definitely unique and you can go to the beach and amusements after. Must be my 5th time here now.

Visited for a family breakfast, excellent friendly and efficient service. We had a lovely sunny day so enjoyed the outside seating area. Food was delicious, we look forward to returning soon.

One of our favourite places to eat out, the loaded fries with cheese and bacon is the best we've tried. The team are friendly and helpful and the atmosphere is lovely

The venue is beautiful and a calm setting with great views. The food was on the whole was ample and a good selection. The sandwiches were a little dry on both sides and although there was a great selection of cakes, there were three of us and sometimes only 1 or 2 of the mini cakes on offer. Everything else had three eg three sandwiches, three scones Every all it was a great experience and value for money.
