Lovely afternoon tea. Beautiful views, lovely food, warm scones just out of the oven, fresh cream, what’s not to like! Endless drinks too. Would definitely buy afternoon tea voucher for a present after such an enjoyable experience. Staff very friendly and service great too.

The Staff are friendly and helpful although bar service is sometimes a little slow. My only complaint is the poor choice of beers - lager and nothing else. Some bottled craft ales would be a great addition.

This is not the first time we have had afternoon tea .. I think we have had 5 this year .. it’s the best afternoon tea in Southend .. the food is excellent and the service is fantastic, You can just sit and enjoy your tea while looking out of the window at the sea xx

We love Sands. The staff are always very helpful and food is lovely. A nice chilled atmosphere making it the perfect stop off with kids when visiting Southend. Super value especially if you iwn a Adverture Island annual pass as you receive 20% off. A trip to Sputhend isnt complete without lunch at Sands.

This was a booking for nine from a local care home. We had afternoon cream tea with generous portions. The gluten free option was great. The staff at couldn't do enough to help, they were really attentive. Thank you sands for a lovely experience for our Residents. We will definitely be visiting again soon.
