What can I say? Great Service, great food, great beer.
The place has been nicely kitted out. There is lots of room between tables and their burgers are still to die for!
We were a party of six and had plenty of space.
They found out towards the end of the evening that it was my wife’s birthday and quickly made an ice cream cake with a candle.
We had a brilliant evening, 10/10.
We will most definitely be going back. read less

Never made it to the old venue but am now thinking I might have missed out. There was a new lunch menu that had plenty of choices. I opted for a Buffalo Chicken jacket potato and have to say was very impressed. The blue cheese dressing was excellent, complementing the spicy chicken really well. The side salad was tasty and, for me, just enough. Reasonable prices as well, meal for 3 with drinks a tad over £40 so @ £15 p/h to include service felt it was well worth it - I will be back read less

Service was brilliant, the waiter was lovely and couldn't do more for us! even turned into our little Photographer at one point. BBQ Beans are randomly the best thing I've ever tasted in my life, everything we ordered came perfectly (even the fussy things) the only downside was the wait time, we did wait around an hour for food but apart from that everything was great! and I want more BBQ Beans. Sister even got a free Cocktail as it was her Birthday and they came out with her Cake singing to her, even let us eat it there and gave us plates and cutlery for it which was sweet.
Coming back for the Christmas Menu! read less

It’s not my usual style of dining and had I not been invited by my twenty something son, its probably not the sort of place I would have ended up in. That said, I’m glad I went. The style of the place is ‘basic. Don’t look for plush seating or a quiet atmosphere, you’ll not find either. But what you will find is a noisy bustling and enjoyable evening with some excellent food.
The service by all staff is very friendly and efficient. It’s a big place with lots of covers and although they work with speed, you’ll still feel like you’re the only diner.
The food is very, very good. We all know how the modern restaurant works these days, bulk bought semi prepared and maybe partly cooked food, simply refreshed, re-heated and served. I didn’t get that impression here. I had brisket cuts for starters and very tasty and moist they were. Delicious. The burger was a real burger, not a paper packed, boxed then defrosted one delivered in a lorry. Although the size of it, it should have been delivered by a lorry. Real beef taste and well cooked.
Overall, a great place for a group to go out and have a great evening with some very good food, served well and by friendly staff. read less

The atmosphere was excellent, this may be one of the best restaurants that I have visited in Southend. Will definitely be going back. Great central location.
Great place to go with friends, I went in the evening to have a few drinks and dinner, not sure whether the place is particularly family friendly! read less

I had visited the old Mangetout plenty of times, and it was amazing.. but the new venue really tops it off! Bigger and better to say the least. Amazing lay out, both upstairs and down. Very clean, tidy and well presented.
The food is something else, beyond amazing. I love their food, amazing burgers, the portion size for the money you pay, you can’t complain! Amazing mac and cheese, wraps, wings, ribs, just everything is a 10/10 from me. They do brilliant offers too which Is a bonus. Their desserts are so lovely! (the brownies are my favourite) and a lovely range of different flavoured ice creams. Their variety of drinks and cocktails are very good, always up for trying something new when I go there and I am never disappointed.
The staff are very well presented and lovely, very easy to talk to and make you feel very welcome and comfortable during my visits. So can’t complain about customer service either.
I think it’s easy to say for me I will 100% be returning to Mangetout and more than once!! I love it there, food, atmosphere, staff. Everything!
Looking forward to my next visit. read less

It keeps the same style that they had in the old place but with a fresher feel to it! The food, as always, was fantastic. The prices have gotten cheaper since the move, which is a bonus, but this hasn't affected the quality of the food! As always Mangetout is always on the top of our list for places to dine in Southend! read less

I ordered shrimp for both starters and mains, which with hindsight at a burger / meat joint, probably wasn't the best move as the shrimp was not that good. The salad I had with the shrimp was amazing. I also had the Sticky Brisket Bites which are AMAZING. I have these each time I visit and they're really the reason I come here. My partner had chicken strips and lamb burger which he said were excellent. read less

We were sat upstairs and it didn't seem to have the buzz and ambience of before. But it's the food that we were here to sample and that didn't disappoint. The chicken tenders were large, tasty and home cooked, and were probably designed to share, while the bacon double cheeseburger was immense. I had wanted a burger that delivered on the tastebuds and it was awesome. And the home brewed lager is really drinkable.
If I'm being picky, the service was a little slow, but that didn't matter to us as friends catching up. read less

The food was very nice and there was a lot of it. The menu is very samey but it's a bit of a typical "burger bar" just a bit nicer with some cans of ale on offer. The venue is nice but they haven't changed anything since taking over from East Coast Social so you barely notice it's a different bar.
Still I would eat there again and I've popped in a couple of times just for a drink. read less

We had a drink at the bar after our meal and had a quick chat with the manager who was very nice and very professional and very passionate about his job. We will come back and recommend to everyone we know. Thank you Mangetout for the great evening read less
