Went there with my brother his sons and my sons, when we went to sit down and order our food, we were told that we had to order the hot food downstairs in the takeaway section which was very odd, but I m not sure why they have changed that. When we ordered our food, the service seemed a bit slow, the staff looked a bit like zombies, and the food were very pricey indeed. When we finally got our food we were told sauces cost 35 p which was a rip off as the food itself was pricey as it is. As we digged into our food the fish I had was very bland and soft, and not crispy like fish would be, the chips were also tasteless, my children’s fish fingers tasted a bit burnt as well. The fizzy drinks wer...
Unfortunately, we were left unimpressed with our lunch experience. For some reason, you can 't get any fish chips, hot dogs etc... if you eat in, even though they sell them to take away. One of the meals didn 't arrive and when we asked, they continually told us the meal had gone out and kept showing us a different order ticket. It took some time to get them to understand that they were looking at the wrong order and had actually missed a persons meal on OUR order. The food was OK but the fish finger tartare sauce paninis had virtually no tartare sauce in them, (I felt it had been mis sold). The jacket potato was served in a bowl, we had to ask for a plate to transfer it to as it was impossi...
I often come here with my granddaughter and my friend brings her grandson along too. I always enjoy my bacon roll, but last time I decided to try the bacon and sausage roll and it was delicious. Unfortunately, the fish fingers my granddaughter ordered were not up to par. She usually loves fish fingers, but these ones were cheaply made and had an unnatural bright orange color. It's a shame because the rest of the food here is decent. These are the same fish fingers they serve at the Sealife Centre, which we also frequent. I hope they consider upgrading to a better quality fish finger in the future. The prices are very reasonable, especially with the annual pass, and the atmosphere is pleasant...
I used to go here when I was a child it was always a great place to stop. Been back a few times over the years and slowly the quality of food has got worse and worse. Was in there last week and ordered the full English and the sausages were perhaps the worst, cheapest quality I've ever had. The tea and coffee was also very below standard. Staff are always friendly and the setting is lovely but the food quality needs to improve!

I visited this cafe to have a coffee and it was a charming little spot. The staff were kind and accommodating. The food and drinks were delicious. I highly recommend trying their tea and scone. The view was beautiful. I will definitely be coming back on my next trip.
We stopped by Three Shells for lunch after a refreshing walk along the seafront. The food and coffee were delicious, and we had a pleasant conversation with a friendly young man named Sam who made us feel right at home.
Tables were really dirty the whole place just felt unsanitary. The staff were really nice though and the place had air conditioning so it didn’t get too hot. Just would recommend cleaning your tables more.
Visited Southend-on-Sea with my family today and stumbled upon this lovely little place. Staff were so friendly, food was nice and my 19mo gave the ice cream a huge thumbs up! We'll see you again soon.

Nice place for fish and chips, tea scones or just to sit with a cup of tea with great views of the famous pier Thames Estuary. Polite friendly staff clean, you can’t ask for much more.
Stopped here on our way to see the Southend beach front fireworks my husband and I had a nice bite and the staff were friendly.
