Shelagh's Diner - Wickford

So this place is under new ownership. Thank god when it was owned by the frasers clan it was awful. Overpriced bland food. The guy who owns it now is a great host. Good british food and plentiful. Breakfast is massive and includes tea or coffee for under a tenner! Bargain. No silly prices here. Burgers are huge and tasty. Coffee and tea 1.50!! Only gripe I have is that it could do with a deep clean. We sat by the windows which were very dirty and we had a lot of big cobwebs on the windowsill. I dont mind spiders but not when they want share my dinner! Given some tlc this place could be lovely. I suspect he is doing it up. We will def be back. Better still he is a west ham fan!!

Great food and service. Very reasonably priced. The cafe is under recent new ownership. I have been a regular visitor since the change. The full English is very good, and the owner very obliging. Service: Dine in Meal type: Breakfast Price per person: £1–10 Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

Eat here with friends recently fairly awful service, food and drinks. Coffee was weak, instant and out of a packet. Halloumi Burgers, was a burger roll with just a chunk of halloumi, no lettuce, tomato or sauce/dressing etc. Had to ask twice for coffees to be delivered. Disappointed!
