Set in a renovated Victorian sun shelter with uninterrupted views over the estuary.
A little taste of Mexico, in the heart of Southend.

Foodie Rich: Adventures in Smoking
The good old Brisket Tin were serving up their glorious ‘Low & Slow’ BBQ at my bar of the moment, the wonderful West Road Tap! Wowzers, with craft beer in hand, I stuffed my face with 12 hour smoked brisket, and 9 hour smoked Char Siu pork collar!
Estuary Restaurant opens a new premises

Summer Lunch Menu at Manoly’s
Ditch the sandwich and indulge in a mouth-watering exotic Thai salad, a ‘Big Dish’, or a ‘Mixed Dish’ from Manoly’s!
Frank & Luna’s Review
Westcliff has got an almost village feel about the place. I guess you could say Westcliff is to Leigh what Shoreditch is to Chelsea! So, people, take a little trip down Canewdon Road in Westcliff and give Frank & Luna’s a go; you’ll see what I’m talking about, it’s a wonderfully friendly café.
Foodie Rich: The Turk Grill House
Well I’ve got to say Rayleigh you’re certainly stamping your authority on our local gourmet scene.

Do you know what, whilst on the train home last week, I realised something; I’ve been writing at Leigh-on-sea.com for three years this month! Yeah 3 years! Where the hell has that time gone!

Foodie Rich European Tour - Part 1
Those regulars to Leigh-on-sea.com may remember last year we jetted off half way round the world to visit Aussie friends; the year before that we were in India. So, whilst most others were dragging themselves back to work, Lou and I were sunning it up and sipping cocktails by the pool.
Breakfast Is Served!
Fancy kickstarting the day with a scrumptious bowl of Almond Porridge or a delicious devilled crab dish?
2017….My Year On A Plate (and a glass!)
What about our little corner of Essex by the sea? We saw some great new openings this year.
Rochford Beer Festival….Steeped in Tradition!
Yep, once a year, the freight house in Rochford becomes a beer hall. It’s got to be the largest beer festival in the area; you’d need days here to sample all the ales and ciders on offer.
Café O’Portugues Westcliff… a little taste of Portugal!
I wasn’t going to write this. For months it’s been at the back of mind, should I write about this place or not? I didn’t really think anyone else would share my enthusiasm for a simple cafe.
Hoppily….a little bit of beer tasting!
The good people behind Hoppily have one sole purpose in life, to educate the masses about beer! Praise the Lord!
