Welcome to Milly's



1/2
We are an independant deli cafe in Leigh-on-Sea. Established in 2008, we set out to source the very best food from all over the UK and worldwide, to be served in a friendly and inviting atmosphere. We have a lovely garden which opens in the spring/summer months, and dishes in our menus use only these best ingredients and change daily/seasonally.
