The Strand Tea Rooms in Southend-on-Sea

Nice simple coffee shop and an interesting host with a very interesting sense of humour 😀 👍

We had a pleasant experience visiting this little corner cafe. Found it to be “real”, and enjoyed the friendly conversation by the man who served us. Try the bread pudding, excellent!

Stopped by here to get an ice cream for my 3yr old. The man who served us was rude and impatient, even with my 3yr old. Plus, £4 for a child’s ice cream is way over the odds.There’s another ice cream place just down the road (on the corner before the beach), I’d strongly recommend you to go there instead.

Was soooo much better when Marge run this cafe, she was a fantastic cook and loved her customers, RIP Marge. (my mates Ma), you were a one off !!!

Popped along with the family for a spot of lunch. Disappointed with the quality of the food is an understatement! Cod and chips was massively over cooked and when we mentioned it the chef was dismissive and rude. He could be heard shouting in the kitchen that it wasn't burnt and was supposed to be that colour! 2 breakfasts came out 15 mins apart which would suggest the sausages and bacon are cooked individually which is crazy.Just avoid, nothing good to say about it.

Great Restaurant! It has a nice chill atmosphere and if your looking for a nice breakfast I'd definitely recommend the place :)

Rude, unwelcoming, nearly walked out wish I had, was told not too put our hats on the table cos it's bad luck. Tea and coffee not to bad.not an enjoyable event

Wonderful food served by friendly staff good value jason weekend chief I have to say is a amazing chef 10 /10

Lovely old typical English cafe. Veggie breakfast was delicious. Service was friendly and welcoming. Definitely go back.

Mediocre food and awful awful service by a very rude woman. Avoid there are better options nearby. This place uses flags as table cloths?
