Amazing restaurant, if I could give them 10 stars I would. We travel an hour so my mum is able to have gluten free food as she is coeliac disease. Such a nice friendly and staff always welcoming

Good little caffè. Great 🥗 and drinks. There are not many choices of gluten-free pasties or cakes.

The lady who served me was nice. The fish was tasty, just two things. Ask customers if they’re eating in or taking away, I still gave 4 stars because she offered me to sit outside for free which was nice. Also, it’s nice to offer customers salt and vinegar if they want it on, my fish was wrapped very quickly and I didn’t want to be a bother and ask her to unwrap it and season it. Other than that I think the fish is worth the price given it was made fresh to order and was actually one of the best fish I’ve had! I’ll definitely give it another try. Edit ** I appreciate your response, and want to be very clear that it was my first time attending you restaurant and I saw signs about gluten free options but nothing regarding seating stood out to me?? I was not asked if I was eating in or taking away when I arrived. And I wasn’t offered salt and vinegar. I understand that maybe you want to defend your business but please don’t gaslight me in the process.

Came here for lunch today and had the best experiance ever , the fish was cooked lovely and fresh , the chips where amazing crispy on the outside and nice and soft on the inside. My friend was gluten free and we was surprised on how many gluten free options they do . They also do gluten free ketchup , mayonnaise, tar tar sauce and vinger !!!! The service was fast and the girls was lovely making sure we get exactly what we wanted and explained everything in detail to us about the food and gluten free sauces So if you are ever in southend on sea looking for the best stop for a deliciouse fish and chips come to alfies fish and chips and you will not be dissapointed

A lovely little cafe in Leigh on sea. I am gluten free (gluten allergy - staff were knowledgeable and knew about shared fryers etc) and had lots of options without missing out on much (only change to English breakfast was to swap sausage out). A lovely atmosphere and if you have a dog it is a perfect spot! Look forward to returning in summer

One of the most delicious seaside meals ever - many gluten free options!

Elton Mesquita

A good option for healthy food. A few options to choose but not lots of variety. Try the hot beverages, they're good. Most of the food is gluten free and the juices are really good! Highly recommend

Lemon Witch was an incredible experience. The staff were very kind, friendly, and helpful. Lemon Witch has a lot of choices for dietary needs like Gluten Free, Dairy Free, and Vegan. The food was absolutely delicious. The pricing was very reasonable and they even have some fun merchandise options such as stickers, pins, tote bags and t-shirts. I would highly recommend giving them a visit.

Went for lunch after a long bike ride, the food was yummy and the staff were very helpful and attentive around my partner's gluten allergy.

Emilia Esposito

Went in for my birthday's dinner yesterday. Absolutely amazing, Kerry was amazing. The food was great with great selection of safe gluten free options. Thank you for the great experience. We will back very soon

We had a lovely meal after a long walk at the Peterboat. At first we were dubious, there were a lot of kids and this can be a red flag when it comes to quality experiences. But we were wrong, our waitress was excellent - really engaging and helpful, recommended some great dishes. And the food was pretty faultless for pub grub, everything we ate was lovely. The gluten free jam roly poly was especially good, achieved a great texture. Recommended pub for the food alone! (If you can withstand the kids!)

Julia Barrett

Love it here! Great gluten free, dairy free and vegan options.

Marilyn Riley

Lovely place, very friendly helpful staff, great gluten free food especially the cakes, it’s so nice to have a choice , and not just one gluten free item. Have been here many times , at least once a week, never any complaints.

Kym

Very disappointing for gluten free diners, and not much choice for children's menu. Lovely waitress

Phoebe Hadley

Food is okay, you get what you pay for. Many options including gluten free. It's not the food we are fussed by coming here, we go for the atmosphere! Love the jazz band and BBQs at the weekend. And of course sitting in the beautiful park after a lovely dog walk!

Jhulan Biswas

Excellent food and ambience. Polite and friendly hostess. Good gluten-free options for our son.

Misty

Had a fab lunch here today. Food is delicious and staff so friendly and helpful. I have coeliac disease and a garlic intolerance, they understood my needs and checked everything with the chef. So lovely not being made to feel 'a nuisance' for once. Highly recommend 👌

Michaela Headford

A fabulous, friendly and welcoming cafe down on Shoebury East Beach. Great atmosphere and the best staff. They even went out of their way to buy gluten free products after I enquired if this could be something they would add to their menu. This place has definitely become mine and my family’s go to location. . Thank you to everyone 😊

I loved this little place by the sea where we had a generous colourful breakfast! We had the alternative breakfast (2 poached eggs, toast, grilled portobello mushrooms and cherry tomatoes, asparagus tips, spinach, arugula salad and feta cheese) and Scottish smoked salmon with scrambled eggs on toast (with cherry tomatoes, arugula salad and extra baked beans and portobello mushrooms). Gluten free options apply for dishes with toast. The service was impeccable and the place offered a cosy atmosphere with fantastic sea view.

We hired these amazing guys for our evening food at our festival style wedding 2 years before our big days and communication was quick and super helpful. When the big day came, they arrived on time, set up seamlessly in the background and served so many of our guests who came back for seconds, thirds and fourths! I'm absolutely gutted I didn't get round to eating one but my husband and guests all said how incredible the crepes and waffles tasted. My gluten free and vegan guests were particularly happy as they were able to eat everything like everyone else! I'll be hunting them down in the future to get my hands on one of the crepes but genuinely couldn't recommend them more. Thank you so much for being part of our special day, we couldn't fault you at all! 💜🍋💜

This place is amazing, seriously. The people are great. Such a relaxed lovely atmosphere. Food is incredible. I’m gluten-free and never have a problem. Hot drinks, milkshakes, smoothies are to die for. I’ve never been climbing, looking forward to trying that too. Couldn’t recommend this place enough.

Helen Valentine

Delicious gluten free battered cod, so light and crispy! Took my mum here who had the same as the recommendation of the waitress, even though my mum is not gluten free, I am. Large portion too! Would definitely return! Staff super friendly too! The hot chocolate with cream and marshmallows was a nice treat to end with!

Molly Gooding

Went in the summer for their afternoon tea with the Under the Sea theme and it was incredible. We had multiple dietary requirements, one gluten free, one vegan, two veggie and one normal and they were all handled perfectly. Couldn’t be more impressed with the service too.

Julia Barrett

I love it here! The gluten free afternoon tea is brilliant; my favourite place to eat afternoon tea!

Kathleen Varrier

We was served by Vikki and she couldn't have been more helpful with her outstanding knowledge of what foods are gluten free or meals that can be made gluten free by changing sauces etc service like she gave me makes me come back 5* thank you

Went for a lunchtime treat and it was lovely. Staff pleasant, friendly and helpful if a little uninformed. Food was very good and gluten free options were lovely. Well priced. Overall very lovely lunch

Hazel Hunt

We visited the pulp kitchen by chance on Sunday 28th as we wanted to find a nice cafe to have breakfast. The pulp kitchen exceeded every expectation we had. The food was amazing, the smoothies were delicious and the service was amazing. Really nice genuine people who made us feel SO welcome. My mother in law is a coeliac - she spoke to them while we were there and they went through everything with her, so she knows she can eat here too for next time. So glad we found this place and if you’re passing definitely worth a visit!! Thank you!!

Mandy McAuliffe

Popular place, so book early to get the time/day you want. Lovely food and staff. I'm gluten and dairy free, there was a lot of choice for me and everything I had was perfect.

Wendy Thomas

Grey choice of food. Amazing choice of vegan/vegetarian options are available. Nothing was too much trouble even though they were incredibly busy. For once I was made to feel completely comfortable with my mix of vegan/gluten/veggie and non vegan choices! (Oh and it was all delicious.) Will come back soon.
