Fantastic take away- lockdown Fantastic take away, a real treat in this lockdown situation. My personal favorites are: mammas rubs and Mangetout Mac and cheese!

We were both famished. It was a Friday night and we didn’t book. We arrived at 2030 and was told no tables available till 2130. We decided to have a have a couple of drinks. We did see quite a few free table but didn’t mind waiting.
When we ordered the food our eyes were definitely excited. We ordered boneless wings each to start and burgers for mains.
The wings were so amazing and there were loads (but we did order large). Embarrassingly we had to ask for our mains to be wrapped up as we were painfully full. Took a stroll home as we don’t live far and tucked into the burger. FANTASTIC. little bit rare in the middle which is perfection for me. I was sad I couldn’t finish it because it tasted so good. It will be my breakfast burger tomorrow. Don’t judge me.
As for the new venue..... I can see why it’s a good business move. More foot traffic, turn into a club etc but I preferred the old spot as it was more restauranty. Service was very pleasant as it’s always been. I will be returning as the food is amazing. I will probably be using the delivery service more. Would have been 5/5 but I really did like the old location.
Top marks to the chef though read less

Our meal here was amazing, the food was delicious, and as you can see from the photos, the portion sizes are huge! They do however offer takeaway boxes should you not be able to finish all of your meal.
Would highly recommend a visit if you’re in the area. 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

Amazing takeaway - Mangetout Express is a must!!! Just had a takeaway from Mangetout Express and it was THE BEST!!!!

Delivery was faster than expected - ordered at 3.30pm Saturday, delivered by 4.20pm. We had a classic burger and Almighty burger (which was huge! missing the onion rings which was a shame, but still so tasty). The chunky chips are the best chips we’ve ever eaten and the chicken tenders were perfectly seasoned and cooked, really juicy. Even the blue cheese sauce and garlic mayo were gorgeous!! It is expensive, but the portions are huge and it’s worth every penny. Restaurant quality delivered to your door! They forgot one item, but I was able to message on WhatsApp and they were so apologetic and immediately refunded. Great food, great service, well packaged, smooth contactless delivery. We can’t wait to order again! Would highly recommend. read less

This is the second time since it moved location
The food is back to its best
True cant fault the food
It was amazing
The portion was massive but the flavour was out of this world
And the menu has updated since we last visited and its as good as before the move if not better
As hard as that is to believe
I didnt like the app menu way to order
I totally understand businesses are trying different ways with the coronavirus
But it spoils the mood and you can't appreciate the menu reading it from your phone
Plus i find there isnt really any chance for any personal service
But the cold slaw is back!!! Which is a massive relief for me
I cant work out how they make it so nice read less

Service was very good by the Girls, Efficient and the very important check back.
Food.., Fries and sweet potato fries excellent
Camembert bites, nice quality Cheese but came to the table cold
Burgers....Wow, packed out, but mine defeated me virtually impossible to use hands just too much going on, so had to use knife and fork half way through...BUT quality Burgers, Bacon and Cheese was the winner between the Chicken special one though, as that kept its self together with a real decent Beef patty.
Crab sliders...Mmm...well really can't see the buns are fresh baked as the menu says, again served cold and some parts of the bun hard,not really the taste I was expecting either wouldn't order those again, personal choice.
Wings....sticky Bourbon ? No sticky Bourbon sauce as such(see photo), passable, but not as described on the Menu.
Biggest let down...Mama's Ribs.....Looked fantastic, very meaty. but not saucy...but totally salty and the kitchen even added sea salt over the top (see photo), I eat anything but too salty for me even, sent back and the kitchen/Chef agreed and these taken off the menu at the time, so something went wrong, was offered the other version but we declined
Garlic bread excellent. and ALL portion sizes bigger than expected, right up my street
What saved the day was it was Buy one get one free on Burgers which I didn't know until the bill came, the agreement from the kitchen that the Ribs were not good, (obviously the Mama's ribs refunded as was the Wings unexpectedly) good service and good burgers.
Should have been 3 out of 5...but we got treated right,so its a 4 out of 5
will return to try again. read less

The food is always outstanding and the staff are always really friendly and hardworking.
I had the Almighty Burger and my girlfriend had the Firebird. We got some nachos and the Mangetout Mac & Cheese for a starter but sadly didn’t have room for dessert!
The waitress we had was really nice and gave us a complimentary shot after our meal (some sort of cola candy shot) and we thought this was a really nice touch.
We prefer to dine in rather than order takeaway delivery. Just as a little constructive feedback, we’ve tried to order delivery a couple of times and have always found it a bit stressful/chaotic. Quite hard to get a delivery slot (like trying to get festival tickets). Maybe this was just teething issues as delivery is fairly new. If we want food from Mangetout now we just dine in instead.
The food at Mangetout is outstanding and it has the best burgers in Southend and probably Essex. We always really enjoy our visits. Thanks again! read less

Southend is crying out for a daytime event like this and it has tons of potential.
Really well priced £35 for unlimited beer & prosecco/ £45 for all drinks including cocktails / £15 for soft drinks. All ordered through the app and very easy!
You get a huge sharer portion of nachos - Really good. And then a choice of a main, all the usual suspects on there, a really good number of options for a brunch menu.
Service was excellent, super friendly, on the ball with top ups etc.
Atmosphere was great, they’d cleared the restaurant for the brunch and it really worked well.
Looking forward to going again!! read less

My partner and I are vegan so we had the buttered mushrooms, a vegan burger and the rocky road brownie for dessert. The service was great and everyone was super friendly. We went to their new location and the interior was clean, warm and inviting. We were greeted as soon as we entered and seated immediately. My only negative was the discretionary service charge. I hate paying for service and while I realise it’s optional it’s frustrating to have to ask to have it removed and I prefer to tip my waiter or waitress directly. Which is why I removed one star on my rating. read less

All of the meats were lovely but the gammon was particularly delicious. A lovely dinner but unfortunately our pigs in blankets didn’t arrive, we had nearly ordered extra but didn’t want to be greedy so to not get any was a bit disappointing. We would still order again though, a great quality roast delivered warm to your door in under an hour, can’t complain. We also have the epic sharer biscoff dessert waiting for us in the fridge, can’t wait! read less
