Savor, not the labworth cafe. (Not been to the cafe yet) Amazing food, had the scallops for starters, mains steak and creme brulee for dessert. The atmosphere was perfect for the evening and peaceful music and views over the Thames estuary. Service was on point. A must visit restaurant!!

This is a lovely cafe in an excellent location. An ideal place to come before or after a walk along the seawall. The menu is surprisingly varied and enticing for a cafe. It's not just your usual breakfast choices. They have a lunch menu, Sunday roasts, and it seemed that there were specials on offer, too! We enjoyed a table for two overlooking the Thames and didn't have to wait long at all for service and food to arrive! Our waiter was great, and the food was excellent. We were lucky to be there on such a sunny morning, enjoying the views and warming sunshine. Highly recommend, and I look forward to our next walk and cafe visit!

Stopped by for an impromptu lunch with a friend. Staff were nice and friendly. Got seated really quickly and they took our orders. Food was nicely prepared and came really quickly. I had the lasagne, Chips and Salad and it was lovely. Would definitely recommend a visit to the Labworth if you are on the Island. Their Christmas menu looked very interesting.

We love this place. Nice walk along the sea wall followed by coffee and a tea cake or coffee and a full breakfast. Sometimes we just get a coffee. What we always get is a warm welcome, friendly service and good grub.
