This restaurant/cafe is a few doors away from the Cliffs Pavilion Theatre in Southend and is perfect for a pre-theatre lunch or dinner. Only seats 42, so try and book. Can be quite noisy, and the tables are quite close together. Eclectic mix of food - nice starters, ranging from soup and pate, to king prawns and salmon fishcakes. Mains... More

had a meal there before the show at the Cliffs Pavilion, great food at a reasonable price. you need to book a table as it is always full

We went here prior to a show at Cliffs. Despite it being Mothers Day and having no booking, we were able to get a table and have a quick and tasty meal before the show. Service was prompt and pleasant, at the end of what must have been a long day.

Sadly the cliffs pavilion didnt do dinner the night we went so popped next door to Bo Jangles. When we entered it was half full and noticed people moaning about the wait for the food. Ordered 2 vodka and cokes, only cokes came, ordered food, quite a while later our sausage and mash came. Cost £8 each for 3 cheap... More

Called in on spec and they were able to accommodate us. They advertise Tastecard but would not accept ours as we had not phoned up in advance to book - even though restaurant was less than half full.

Our table was waiting for us in the very busy restaurant, the service was very prompt, (continuos flow of drink top ups inbetween Large wine £4.50, Bitter £3.30),... More

I really wanted to enjoy my pre theatre meal early in December. And whilst the decor was fine, the service good and the price reasonable - the food was a let down. My starter of homemade fish cake was a solid patty of flavourless potato. For main course I had the lasagna which was bland and mushy under too much... More

Wow, another great meal here. Possible the best spare ribs I've ever had for starters, a great main (bangers and mash) and a simple, but effective waffle + I've cream for Asters. Although busy the waitresses did a sterling jog with the service. Being busy the place was buzzing, but we still could have a normal conversion. Just to make... More
