   You must go to the Fancy Fox! Let’s start with decor- absolutely stunning! The most beautifully decorated cafe/restaurant I have ever attended. Food- outstanding! Fresh, home made and absolutely delicious! We had the Afternoon Tea and it was THE BEST I have ever tasted! And I didn’t feel full after- that is always a sign of good ingredients! Service! Exemplary! Kerry was our waitress and the loveliest waitress! So kind, friendly, attentive, polite, smiley! Utterly charming. My daughter has special dietary requirements and Kerry was extremely accommodating to her needs. I cannot recommend the Fancy Fox highly enough. We will be back! Thank you for an amazing Afternoon Tea.

   Lovely food And couldn’t fault service But so over priced Afternoon teas shouldn’t be more than £20, the mark up is ridiculous.

   Hi Su, We are glad you found the food lovely and the service faultless. We have often been complemented on the quality of our food, as it is all homemade by us here at the Fancy Fox. I find it odd that you would expect such delicious food and faultless service to only be worth £20 baring in mind the current cost of ingredients, staff labour, utilities, and countless others daily costs to a small businesses in 2025. We keep our prices in line with current costs to us to allow us to keep serving the best quality products and providing the best service. I would like to add that our afternoon tea is always pre-booked in advance so the cost is known to you before you come, so we as a buisness feel very disheartened that you feel this warranted a 2 star review. Regards, Fancy Fox

   Beautiful cafe, decorated to be very picturesque. Serviced but lovely ladies that love their job and want to ensure you have everything you need. A great selection of teas that are constantly being refilled, food was displayed beautifully and tasted great! Compliments all round

   Has a lovely afternoon tea at The Famct Fox for Mother’s Day. They replenished tea when asked and nothing seemed to much trouble. I had contacted them before hand to arrange different sandwiches to accommodate my niece and it was all ready and waiting on arrival. Really lovely place and good atmosphere

   As soon as we arrived we received a warm welcome and was shown to our table. The waitress explained everything to us. I am coeliac and my dietary requirements were well catered to. Tried a few new flavoured teas and the food was extremely tasty. Would definitely recommend here for Afternoon tea, will be back soon! Thank you.

   Lovely afternoon tea. Our dietary requirements were adhered to and no reminder needed. Our waitress was lovely and made us feel special. We could have had unlimited tea and the choice was very good. Overall a lovely experience

    I love this place! The decor is beautiful and the atmosphere is relaxed. Food is always delicious. We had an afternoon tea for four during our visit; the sandwiches were tasty, made fresh with a lovely range of fillings, alongside a mini smoked salmon brioche and home-made sausage roll. The scones were served warm and there were a selection of heavenly desserts. There are a variety of traditional teas alongside more quirky tea flavours included in the price. The staff are lovely - very friendly and attentive. For me, Fancy Fox is the number one place for afternoon tea in Leigh-on-Sea.
