Nice Spot For Lunch in Southend/Leigh etc?

[Smiffy]

So it's the missus 30th Birthday tomorrow and I am going to take her for a bit of shopping in Leigh and Southend. Then I'm looking to take her for lunch somewhere. Nothing overly fancy, just a nice bar/bistro type place that serves decent food. Not really a fan of seafood, so more meat based dishes/traditional English Fayre etc.

Any recommendations chaps?

I'm pretty sure this place is open during the day - http://www.rococoleigh.co.uk/index.html#

They used to do deals like 3 courses for £12 - really nice too. Haven't been for ages though so it may have changed.

The Sandbank's also supposed to be pretty good on the Broadway.

Been to the Grove - but only for breakfast - they have a nice decking area out the back which would be great if it's sunny, and do a pretty good fry-up (bit pricey for a fry-up but very nice).

Chick Stop on Leigh Broadway.

If you can push onto Thorpe Bay try the Roslin hotel on the front best food in town in my opinion. The chef is from the old Paris restaurant which says it all.

Get yourself down to Irmas in Leigh, you do like pizza right?

Pop round mine mate, I'll heat you up some of last night's Domino's (there might even be a Mozarella stick left if you wanna starter). I'll put you on some some Barry White on the Sony Stacking system, turn the dimmer switch down to enable you to get your A game on, I'll even get one of the boys in to stand in the bathroom with a bottle of Paco Rabane in case you need to freshen up.

No need to thank me.

Is the Paco Rabane watered down? If not I might be interested.

No genuine stuff mate - my brother work's as a security guard down Boots. If he meets his quota of throwing out 11 hoodies a week, he gets to keep any tester bottle he wants.

Lots of nice places in Leigh especially- can vouch for the Grove and Boatyard, both excellent and always busy, a good sign. Irma's do very good pizza too, just off the Broadway.

Been to the boatyard twice food was substandard both times and overpriced would not return.

 

[Mad Cyril]

Been to the Boatyard once. Nice venue but like many places in Leigh the food was crap and overpriced.

Manolys Thai are worth a punt at lunchtime and do a set menu at six quid a pop.
