Seaside Delights

Watch fishing boats bring in their catch of the finest cockles destined for top restaurants in Paris and the UK. Sample the fine flavour fresh from the Cockle Sheds at Old Leigh. Enjoy quality fish and chips and delicious seafood in a pub garden or from the pavement tables of the Archway Cafés overlooking the sea.

Seaside fun and ice cream go hand in hand and Rossi's have been making award-winning ice cream in Southend for more than 70 years. It's so deeply part of the holiday experience that parents and grandparents bring their children to sample the delicious ice cream. Try lemon sorbet for the top flavour experience!
