The cakes are fresh and homemade. The staff are friendly and keen to offer the samples of Tiptree gin. The tables look out over the estuary and there are so many interesting boats. There is seating inside and out so suitable for all weathers. View all feedback.
What topmedsec doesn't like about Osea View Cafe:
Although I frequent this park a fair bit (I have friends on here). I have never used this tea rooms. On this particular day however myself, hubby and friends decided to stop off for a coffee and a cream scone. All I can say is... View all feedback.
Got a £100 parking fine today. I've been coming here for years. I suspect it's a new charge I didn't notice. I feel ripped off and treated unfairly. I'll love this place but I'm not going back.
Great little cafe bar,run by Wilkinson,but the owners of the car park,osea leisure park,have installed a parking charge,1.50 pounds for an hour,and. 4 pounds for 2 hours.Also there is no machine,just a QR code to scan to your smart phone.We thought we had paid,even an extra 10p to get a reminder,before our time 4 hrs was up). The smart phone Indicated by a tick,it was accepted. as it was cold we left after about an hour,so well before time.Then this week we get a 100 pound fine 60 if you pay within 14 days),so obviously the payment did not register.Don,t k ow if it was us,or the system,but we don,t have a leg to stand onHOW MERCENARY ARE THESE PEOPLE!You have to have a smart phone to get the QR code,and many older people who use the cafe,won,t have one,so they can,t go.Also you have the danger of the QR code payment not going through and not realising till later,when it is too late,SO BEST NOT TO GO THERE.I FEEL SORRY FOR WILKINSONS,WHO RUN THE CAFE AND PRESUMABLY PAY THE LEASE),AS MANY PEOPLE HAVE ALREADY SAID THEY WON,T BE BACK,AND WE ARE NOW ADDED TO THAT LIST.there is something fishy about this parking lark,as site residents,go through the barrier, AND PARK ON SITE,so why penalise Wilkinson and their customers,or maybe Osea are opening their own cafe,.The Deck house bar and clubhouse on the site behind WILKINSONS cafe,is only open thurs to Sunday, as far as I know,and there is no view.Let,s see if this changes!
Unfortunately met with an expensive carpark adding £5 onto the cost. Staff were apologetic but unfortunately due to car park we wouldn’t return for our usual full day out, lunch at tea room and then dinner at the sports bar.
Lovely position although you have to crane your neck to see Ocea Island. The staff and food were good. My gripe was that there are no facilities for disabled people. No ramps and the toilets are downstairs and no disabled toilet at all. It was a bit of a struggle. We won’t be going again unfortunately. Disappointed as I had driven quite a way.
We visit Ocean View tearoom a couple of times a month and have done for years. Such a lovely place, good food and friendly staff. However our visit on Monday 12/02 was cut very short due to the implementation of new car parking charges. A charge you can only pay if you have a smart phone. Unfortunately this is sure to have a knock on effect on the cafe as a lot of their customers are seniors and perhaps not terribly tech savvy. I have struggled with goRing before and was not going to attempt it again. Having read other reviews I see that the cafe currently have a short term buy one get one free hot drink policy. However it might be an idea for them to offer a reduction of payment to cover the parking fee if a certain amount is spent.
