Priory Park Cafe in Southend-on-Sea

Sat outside for lunch with grandson, lovely sunny spot.

Stopped for lunch, cheeseburger was divine according to one of my kids, kept going on about it for hours, and chicken burger was also very good. Kimchi jeon (Korean kimchi pancake) made with plenty of their own home-made kimchi was the best I had so far. Korean BBQ dumplings were really good too. Four meals with drinks and some extra cookies, crisps and ice-cream all came to less than £25 which is great for what we had.Good service, happy with the whole experience, will definitely be going back as soon as possible!Cash only when we visited.

Very slow service have been waiting for about 20 mins for one portion of chips which was £2.20! And it doesn't even smell like chips inside!

What a great place for a nice caffe. Unfortunately, service, menu, food, interior and outside- all need a major overhaul. Please, please can you buy a decent coffee machine and serve a nice coffee at least? I would be a regular customer if only someone actually tried to make it a nice place.

Shabby cluttered nothing like a cafe. Even the table and chairs outside shabby. Big shame does not fit in with such a beautiful psrk. ONLY TAKE CASH!!!! Does not make sense . But loved the chinese menue

I am sorry but quite dissapointed. Firstly customer friendliness just seemed quite off, secondly when I wanted to order cooked meal I been told we will have to wait 45 min as its been cooked all from fresh. When I asked if there is anything else to be done quicker been quite frankly said that no option is available. After that it just felt quite awkward and nor even any suggestions have been given to me as a customer instead....great you are asking for cash payments to even make it more awkward for people who have got no cash on and there is no cashpoint nowhere near really....

If you like Korean food definitely check it out! Fantastic Kimchi with large portions for the Korean menu. Like most other less common international restaurants in Southend, they have items that will be more familiar and ice cream for hot days in the park. But honestly, I think I would only be ordering from the Korean menu because it's dope!

Fantastic selection of delicious Korean food. Popped in there for a sandwich one day and discovered the Korean menu, have been back many times, never disappointed. Only reason for 4 stars is the cafe is a little run down, could do with a freshen up but we normally sit outside anyway so not an issue for us.

Vibes: typical low cost British Cafe, with a Korean menu twistPros:- Coffee tastes good- Prices are affordable- Great menu if you enjoy Korean food (typical British cafe dishes available but Korean food too)- Pleasant staff- Plenty of seating choices- Takeaway optionsCons- Lack of vegan options re food / hot drinks- No dogs allowed- Cash only- Use of non-recyclable polystyrene cups

Nice little cafe. Serves hot or cold food and drink. The cafe has been revamped and is looking very good. With some high bar stools looking out through the windows, with a great view of the band stand.
