With so many places to eat on the seafront it can feel like a gamble where to go. We decided on the Boat House Cafe and were not left dissappointed, what a fantastic little find. The staff were really friendly and had best fish and chips in a long time and the curry sauce was a winner! Located right next to the pier its easy to find and would definately recommend to anyone. Next time I'm in Southend will definitely come back!

2nd visit to this great cafe found it by accident last year on a day trip and couldn’t wait to return. Varied menu suitable for vegetarians and kids and spoilt for choice. No frills just good grub at reasonable prices served by two ladies who obviously love what they do. Nothing too much trouble If we’re down that way again would def go again

My family and I spent the weekend in Southend and absolutely loved this place, they were very accommodating for my large family and always had a smile in their face, very friendly and the food and coffee was delicious. We will be coming here again the next time we stay for the weekend.

Lovely little cafe. Spent 5 days visiting Southend and popped in here every day. The first time we visited was one that made us want to come back. The staff are really friendly and you get the “local” feel with the regulars that come in too. Really good food and not over priced, considering we could have got breakfast for £9 a head at our hotel, this was definitely better in every way. Definitely somewhere I will visit again if I find myself in Southend again!

Stopped for breakfast on my way to work. Nice décor, breakfast was good but sadly it was let down by the very greasy fried slice and cold toast with cheap spread on it. I think there should of been 2 hash browns on the set breakfast i ordered but only came with 1 but these things happen. Will try again, if I'm allowed as unfortunately some establishments don't like what customers write!!!!!

The perfect place to eat at the end of a day out at Adventure Island.Very friendly welcome.Plenty of choice on the menu. Generous portions including the kids meals.Food was served hot .Very reasonable prices. The servers took time to talk to the children and they were given a lolly each at the end of the meal.Will be sure to visit again when in Southend.

I have frequented this establishment many times over the years, but it seems to be experiencing a noticeable decline in quality. The Black Forest smoothie, once a highlight, lacked its characteristic flavour profile—there was no trace of sweet cherry, the creaminess from the nut butter was absent, and the consistency was poor, with an unripe banana aftertaste that was unpleasant. The rest of the food was unremarkable, falling far short of its former standard. Also, While it is understandable that new staff require time to adjust, the frequency of errors I observed was disconcerting. Additionally, the practice of holding completed items until the entire order is ready detracts from the experience, as delays compromise the quality of time-sensitive items like smoothies, which arrived cool not cold. Usually this wouldn’t be a problem I guess but waiting for >40 minutes doesn’t help. It’s disappointing to see a place that was once so reliable for one of the best smoothies nationally can slip up so hard.

We came here on a very wet and windy Monday! The welcome from Jo and Richard was warm and friendly. And the food was brilliant: hot and tasty. The policy is to source as much as possible locally and this made the food even more special. In fact brunch was so good we returned later in the day for more coffee, hot chocolate, indulgent chocolate and orange cake and healthy home made granola with delicious fruit, local honey and yogourt. Wish we lived nearer to Southend, but will certainly eat at attic next time we are in The area. Good luck to Jo and Richard - we wish them every success.

We stopped here for lunch today - two cheese toasties, tea and coffee. Everything was excellent - well cooked, delicious toasties,.decent coffee and nice tea. My only complaint was that the staff had tea in mugs rather than cups and I would have liked a mug too! The food, drink, service and value for money were all great. We have walked past many times but won't make that mistake again!

I attended the wreath making workshop with friends today and it was brilliant. There was everything we needed to make the wreaths to our own designs, bottomless mulled wine and some festive nibbles. I definitely want to go back to sample some of their other foods and wines. Great customer service and fantastic value for money. Can’t recommend these guys highly enough.

If you want a couple drinks with a small group, west road tap is perfect. It's small but has a great selection of beers and very friendly staff
