Archway Cafes

Southend is perhaps best known for its lively seafront and the Archway Cafés give diners the chance to
enjoy it from a unique perspective.

With several small cafés and eateries rubbing shoulders there's plenty of opportunity to choose the perfect spot to watch the world go by. A raft of tables and chairs spill onto the pavement outside this handful of establishments, encouraging customers to enjoy their food in the open air and even watch the boats drift up and down the Estuary.

Whether you pop in for a relaxing breakfast or a leisurely lunch, the Archway cafés are refreshingly traditional, run by lifelong residents who are as passionate about Southend as they are about their dishes. And of course there's lots of local produce on the menu, giving you a real taste of the town. With the sensational views providing the perfect backdrop for some great food, a meal in one of these cafés is a wonderful way to unwind and soak up Southend's unique
atmosphere.
