A gem of a bistro in a attractive location
with outstanding staff. We had a excellent Sunday roast, I cant praise La Petite Petanque and its staff highly enough. Thankyou !!

Lunch with the inlaws at one of our favourite Southend lunch venues. The food is excellent with a new fresh menu, and the staff are so friendly you can't help but want to
re-visit time and again.

enjoying afternoon-tea or lunch which bestows a unique relaxed and idyllic atmosphere upon proceedings.
The team has succeeded in creating a place to enjoy superbly cooked modern British cuisine in the heart of
Southend-on-Sea.
