The best restaurants serving British food in Leigh Southend-on-Sea East of England

Love the pub's atmosphere and character and good choice of drinks. But taco sharing platter we had was the worst we've ever had in a pub and it cost £11. A complete rip off at this price. lt truly was awful! Took it back and wasn't charged. Put off eating in there as chef was clueless!

Had breakfast in Estuary arches many times but never again. Food was very average and at £20 a head with a tea very expensive. White cheap thin bread for toast and some of the food was cold. Charged extra if wanted scrambled instead of poached/fried. One small sausage, one bacon, one hash brown and beans £13.95 plus £1 extra for scrambled egg. Two halves of the worst white bread. Steer clear - there are better places to have a breakfast along there.

My lady friend in her 80s and me were having a pleasant day and just wanted an Ice cream. We stopped at this window because advertised Italian Gelato. The man attending the public offended my friend who was walking with crutches due to a hip injury. She is under huge amount of pain and medication but that won’t stop her lively spirit from trying to go out and enjoy a good summer day. Is a way to take her mind out of the pain. My friend was asking questions about the flavours, the price, etc… as a pensioner and client she has the right to enquires. I’m not sure what he saw on my friend but that man in the counter (perhaps in his menopause) right away tall her if she was dunk? It was only midday. How rude, and what an aggressive customer service that was. My friend told him right away she was holding herself onto crutches, and that she was under medication. She told him he should not be working in that place. The man didn’t apologise. He just avoided the fact that he insulted my disabled lady friend in her 80s and wanted to change the conversation. We shouldn’t have bought the expensive scoop of ice cream. £7 for two ice creams. One in a cone and the other one in a small paper cup. They were tiny scoops that looks like one. The point is that that man that Saturday 20th July should not be serving to the public.

Had lovely breakfast this morning for my husbands birthday. All good except black pudding, which was hard and dried up. Nice and hot. Staff all great.
