If you’re fond of seafood and salty air: readers’ favourite places to eat at the British seaside

Our tipsters savour delights at cafes, restaurants and pubs by the sea, from Bangor to Brighton

The cockle chowder served in a cottage loaf at The Peterboat in Leigh-on-Sea, Southend, is to die for (£19.95). The prawn and chorizo linguine at £17.95 equally so! Fabulous location, right on the sea wall, and the service is always excellent. It’s so easy to reach on public transport that customers can enjoy a glass of wine from their extensive list.
