Saltwater Beach Cafe - Southend-on-Sea

Absolutely perfect evening, great service and great food. The burgers and chips were perfect. Just back from Belgium, the fries capital of the world! and the chips tonight were on par with the ones we had in Belgium

We were walking passed and popped in for lunch. Really surprised of the choice of the menu as we were expecting the normal fast food but there was a lovely choice of healthy food as well which was made fresh to order. Friendly, helpful staff and great food. Will definitely be back.

We have just had the most AMAZING burger at Saltwater Cafe; it’s a special Friday evening menu from, I believe, 4:30. Honestly the best burger I’ve ever had; the bacon jam Parmesan chips were incredible too. Plus a beautul sunset, what more do you want

I hardly ever write reviews but in is worthy of it. Arrived at cafe at about around 2.55. Asked the assistant on arrival if they were serving food. She clearly said ‘yes’. I got in the queue and waited my turn only 2 groups in front, only to be to told about 5 minutes later that the kitchen was now closed, and the chef and another member of staff who I had spoken to at first had now gone home. I also checked the website in the queue to firm up mt menu choices this shows kitchen closes at 3.30, but was later told this was unreliable. So annoying all they need to do is clearly state when the kitchen closes and that if you are still in the queue at that point you will not be served ! Not good business though. Had perents with me, so got back in the car and drove just down the road where I knew they would be open and glad of the custom and was happily served a similar thing. Wont be returning. I have been many times for coffee and the odd snack in the past.

The staff are so friendly here, even when they're busy. Service with a smile. We had lovely smoked salmon bagels.
