Food Leigh-On-Sea

Modern Cuisine

£££

In a charming little seaside town, tucked away among the shops, is this narrow restaurant with a rustic look, that's given a cosy vibe by the friendly, engaging manner in which it's run. The creative, eye-catching dishes are full of flavour and focus on wellbeing and ingredient provenance. The format changes depending on when you visit, with tasting menus in the evening, a 'menu du jour' at lunchtime and a roast lunch on Sundays. Vegan diners are catered for too, with plant-based options at all times.

The White Hart Inn

Modern Cuisine

££

A stone’s throw from the coast, this spacious modernised pub is a bright, colourful spot featuring a parquet floor, a maritime mural and bright blue chairs. The wide-ranging menu offers confidently executed dishes with bold, punchy flavours and the occasional modern twist – exemplified by options such as roast pigeon with a creative blackberry and black pudding sauce. If the weather is good, head for the sunny courtyard terrace; it’s also well worth staying over in one of the comfy bedrooms.
