The Mermaid Cafe in Southend-on-Sea

Food was good service good, environment clean and well looked after. Pity it was cloudy other wise estuary views would have been great.

Cosy seaside restaurant with a serene view, fast & friendly service, and a strong adherence to current Covid-19 guidelines. Staff were more than happy to swap out an item in my all day breakfast for me. The perfect pitstop after a long walk down westcliff seafront!

Clean, good value for money, happy to change the menu to accommodate their customers. It's better to book a table then you can specify where abouts you want to sit. We will return.

Great little cafe. Food was really good, great portion sizes and proper mugs for tea! Staff friendly, helpful and accommodating.

Very polite staff, lovely breakfast served to myself and family on a weekend. Gentlemen went the extra mile to cater for a fussy teenager :)

Lovely food and good variety menu to chose from. Friendly staff..well worth a visit.

Notwithstanding the view of the sea, the lovely staff accommodated my family group of nine and then served delicious and generous portions of food. Will definitely revisit next time I'm in Essex.

The food was good and the restaurant was clean. The servers seemed to follow Covid-19 rules well considering they have just recently opened. Would recommend if you want nice tasting food. Stay safe everyone and enjoy England safely!!

I give this place 4.5 stars to be exact. Service is fast and good. Prices are nor very cheap, but reasonable for a location. The only thing was the food as mussless I ordered was so small I barelly tasted... But I hope it was just off season situation and on season you can get proper stuff. Otherwise five stars.

First time that I got bones in my fish & chips!! At least 13 bones!! That's too much. Also chips are not hand cut but frozen. Was expecting something better in a place that is rated +4* on Google maps :(
