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

Great food, gluten-free options, and the staff are very nice. Never get an order wrong. Never a long wait despite the fact they are always really busy. Bit more expensive than some fish and chip shops, but I've tried a few others locally, and they don't compare. Best curry sauce!

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

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!)

Wow !! Just back from a spectacular meal here. Hidden gem. Best food we’ve ever eaten in the area. Especially for me as a coeliac, the gluten free options were something else. Will be our new go to. Very regularly!! Great decor and ambience. Incredible food. Fantastic staff. Call out to our waitress Sally who was extra special 😘

This was my second visit to Leigh Bistro. I have Coeliac disease and I find it so very difficult to be able to trust restaurants. The condition and the cross contamination issues are very serious and I can be ill and out of action for days, if glutened. Our lovely waitress not only remembered me from my last visit but put me at ease and explained what would and wouldn't be safe for me to eat regarding gluten and cross contamination. I had the delicious starter of pan fried asparagus and then a fabulous steak with saute potatoes as the chips were cooked with gluten items so therefore, not suitable for me. My meal was delicious and thank you so much for taking my condition seriously and for keeping me safe. It is much appreciated and I feel absolutely fine after eating at your restaurant. I hope to not leave it as long before I return again.

Room was fine but the breakfast was the worst we've ever experienced. Noticed pinned to restaurant door stating they're having problems with supply so some items are unavailable.... No pancakes No muffins No plain croissants No yougurts No marmalade No honey No Jam Refried dripping in oil bacon Overcooked reheated hash browns and sausages Dried out beans and scrambled eggs Oh and NO TOASTER!! Rude waitresses who lied about them looking for sending someone to buy a toaster then over heard her taking toast to "her friends" then when asked she said its gluten bread so I then asked the manager who said we can do toast! Totally unprofessional!
