Madhatters Tea Room - Southend-on-Sea

I absolutely loved the decor and found the staff to be very friendly. The cake was delicious, although I regretted my choice of green. It's a beautiful little gem located on a nearby street. Be sure to make a reservation, as they tend to be quite busy, especially on weekends. Next time, I plan to visit in the afternoon. If you're a fan of Alice in Wonderland, you'll be thrilled by the charming trinkets, portraits, and wall clock. With the right friends, it truly feels like you're at the Mad Hatter's tea party!

However, there were a couple of minor drawbacks: the tables are a bit too close to the door, and I felt that when we wanted to take some cakes to go, it would have been better if they had been packaged for us in the kitchen rather than being handed a container to pack them ourselves. Overall, it was a wonderful afternoon out, and I highly recommend it!

They recently updated their menu, and it features a fascinating variety of dishes at very reasonable prices. There are plenty of options to choose from as well. The staff is friendly, and the restroom is conveniently located on the ground floor with no steps to navigate; however, it is quite narrow, which may pose challenges for those in wheelchairs. I also adore the Alice in Wonderland theme, which extends to the names of the menu items. This place is a hidden gem—it's never crowded, but it definitely deserves more attention.

I love this tee room! a very nice atmosphere and many delicious tees and cakes. I also finally tried the jabberwocky... it was an experience sure:

Great food. Staff very friendly and we felt very comfortable. Everything was prepared quickly which was great considering we were there during the busy lunchtime period.
