Located inside the Icon Building on Southend-on-Sea's Western Esplanade, Afternoon Tea at Sands By The Sea offers a refined yet relaxed dining experience just steps from the shore. With panoramic views across the Thames Estuary, this coastal gem is perfect for those looking to unwind before a big night out.

Its prime location makes it an ideal choice for a pre-show indulgence, especially for music lovers attending events at nearby venues. The restaurant offers a calm, scenic atmosphere—a great contrast to the energy of a concert night. Service is often described as efficient and friendly, which means you can enjoy your tea and still make it to the show on time. And with sweeping sea views, it’s the perfect place to kick off your concert evening in style.

Staff are often described as attentive and welcoming, creating a peaceful start to an exciting evening. The elegant décor and coastal charm also earn frequent praise.
Some diners note that the venue can get busy during peak hours, especially on weekends, so booking ahead is recommended. A few reviews mention that the menu is fairly traditional—perfect for tea lovers, but not ideal if you're after a full meal or something heartier.
For concert-goers looking to ease into their evening with a touch of seaside sophistication, Afternoon Tea at Sands By The Sea is a scenic and satisfying choice.
