Riviera - Southend-on-Sea

After enjoying a pleasant stroll along the seafront, I stopped by for a coffee on my way back. The seating area was well-organized with screens and hand sanitizer available before entering.

A few weeks ago, we took our two young granddaughters to this restaurant and enjoyed a delicious homemade steak pie with chips, gravy, and peas. It was my first time dining out in a while, and it was perfect. Our granddaughters opted for chicken nuggets and chips, which were the tastiest nuggets we've ever had. Even our picky eater granddaughter couldn't stop eating them. When I asked if she liked them, she loudly exclaimed, "they're not just nice Nana, they are DELICIOUS." It was a fantastic dining experience with enthusiastic approval from the little ones. Can't ask for more than that.

My partner and I both ordered medium-sized fish and chips with salad, which was just the right size for a lunchtime meal. We also enjoyed a good pot of tea and thick bread with butter. The only downside was the lack of pickled onions. However, the service was friendly and we appreciated sitting under the outdoor canopy on a lovely warm day, with views of the estuary. This cafe is one of the more traditional ones in the area, and I personally enjoyed the experience.

One of our favourite places to eat in Southend, great location, sea views plenty of parking in easy walking distance. We like to have fish chips but they have plenty of other choices on the menu including vegitarian. My brother in law always...has the home made steak pie. For desert you can't go far wrong with pancakes, maple syrup ice cream. They are not licenced but are happy for to bring your own wine. Personally we prefer a lot of tea! We've always found the staff very friendly helpful.

Went in to the riviera as my usual arches venue was not open yet. Had a full breakfast. The food had grease coming out of it into the plate and the bacon and sausage had been deep fried not grilled. Average place and won’t be...back
