Madhatters Tea Room - Southend-on-Sea

However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks: the tables are a bit too close to the door, and I felt that when we wanted to take some cakes to go, it would have been better if they had been packaged for us in the kitchen rather than being handed a container to pack them ourselves. Overall, it was a wonderful afternoon out, and I highly recommend it!

They recently updated their menu, and it features a fascinating variety of dishes at very reasonable prices. There are plenty of options to choose from as well. The staff is friendly, and the restroom is conveniently located on the ground floor with no steps to navigate; however, it is quite narrow, which may pose challenges for those in wheelchairs. I also adore the Alice in Wonderland theme, which extends to the names of the menu items. This place is a hidden gem—it's never crowded, but it definitely deserves more attention.

I love this tee room! a very nice atmosphere and many delicious tees and cakes. I also finally tried the jabberwocky... it was an experience sure:

Great food. Staff very friendly and we felt very comfortable. Everything was prepared quickly which was great considering we were there during the busy lunchtime period.

Had a wonderful brunch. The pancakes were lovely and soft, the sausages were fantastic (been a while since I've had great sausages pouched eggs were on point and the service was just perfect. Very hard to find any faults with this place. :
