My friend had her wedding in the functional space at Sands by the sea. It was such a lovely day. The staff were , attentive, very nice and went the extra mile to do whatever was neededBeing able to see the sea from the venue was a great addition as well.

Overall meal was nice and good size. We shared the fish and chips as we knew it would be quite big. However could have served more Calamari. It wasn't too crowded when we went and the staff were pleasant. Prices are a bit high than usual but you get what you pay for (main dish wise - since it was quite big).

Good food Ata good price. Staff were brilliant only downer easy that goes tables are not cleaned quickly enough and we had our dessert with all the rubbish from our mains still on the table. A bit more attention to cleanliness would make this a top place!

Lovely atmosphere but little disappointed with prices £15.95 for fish n chips and mushy peas!! However don’t mind paying the price if the food compliment it … sadly the chips were cold and fish wasn’t as big as I normally have.. the service however is excellent and the place itself is lovely and friendly welcoming staff! Although this may be a busy time and chef may of been under pressure

I loved this place! We chose it as we got a voucher for a free kid meal from the nearby Adventure island. We had a great table with a lovely sunset over sea view. The service was fast,the servers very professional. This place has so many options to choose from and they offer glutenfree options as well,which is amazing. I usually do not get to enjoy traditional fish and chips because of my allergy, so having this option really made my day.

Just off the busy seafront is this little hidden oasis an alternative to typical seafront cafes. Decided to opt for the Triple Sliced sweet chili Sandwich along with a florida Orange.My drink arrived fairly prompt along with the Sandwich a short time after. The waiter was quite good and suggested that I try it with bacon next time.The Sandwich was quite filling and tasted great you could tell it was all fresh ingredients and care an attention was taken to hand make and present this. The florida Orange was a perfect compliment to the dish and we sat on the decking area over watching the sea.Definitely a perfect lunch break and a little treat that could beat any supermarket meal deal or home made soggy sandwich, I actually thought this was the poshest sandwich I've ever had after all His Majesty the King and Queen have dined here although I doubt they were on a lunch break.This was my second visit to this restaurant and defiantly not my last as I have grazed over the menu and the afternoon tea for two has caught my eye maybe on a day off to treat my Mother along with an open top bus ride along the seafront that stops pretty much 2 minutes away from the restaurant.I visited between 3pm & 4pm so avoided the lunch time rush of families and day trippers. The atmosphere was relaxed la couple of well dressed ladies drinking wine out of a cooler on the wicker sun furniture just made it seem like being somewhere on the Rivera.Well done and thank you for treating me with such excellent service.

The fish and chips were outstanding, and the atmosphere was enjoyable. The serving staff provided excellent service. However, the experience with the till staff was less than satisfactory. Despite a fairly large order, she appeared disinterested and somewhat borderline rude when taking the order.Nevertheless, the overall experience was pleasant. If you're visiting Southend-on-Sea or Adventure Island theme park, this is a great place to savor traditional British fish and chips.

The place is ok.Food is literally frozen Iceland products.Most of it deep fried but yeah, it is what it is. Prices are not stupid high so you get what you pay for.Very nice staff tho.Can't remember the ladies name, blond short hair, she gave me manager vibes. Very pleasant person and really nice and sociable.

Adorable little spot for a snack or meal!We had a lovely late dinner here today & thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Cute vegan menu - LOVED my vegan battered sausage & great food in general. Chips were some of the best I've ever had, lovely fish & chip shop style chips without the horrible aftertaste or fatty/oily coating!Highly recommended, would definitely come again.Son wanted me to mention how delicious the chicken goujons were.z

It is a good place to eat, however I think I was not their target audience but it does seem very family ordinated. So this place is good for families as it has option that children would enjoy and it's near to a few attractions.However as an adult it felt weird to eat my meal out of a to-go box and having to a side of peas, beans or whatever with my burger. Food was tasty however my order was wrong.Would probably not come back, but that has more to do with the target audience then anything. Food was tasty.
