About Ocean Beach

Southend-on-Sea has plenty of reasons to bring the family out for the day, and this Modern European spot sits in the mid-range bracket, so a family meal here won't feel like a splurge. There's a kids' menu and high chairs, which means you can arrive with a toddler in tow and not have to negotiate anything in advance. Step-free access makes getting a buggy in straightforward, and gluten-free options are available if someone at the table needs them. It's a lively room rather than a hushed one — good news if your youngest is going through a loud phase — and outdoor seating gives you somewhere to go when they need air. Booking ahead is worth doing.
