Let’s be
FRANK

With so many options for dining out, looking for restaurants in Leigh on Sea can be a little overwhelming. We’ve made things easier for all you lovers of adventurous cuisine, phenomenal flavours, and innovative cocktails.

We do things a little differently here: mixing Mexican, Peruvian, and Japanese cuisine to make each complex mouthful more exhilarating than the last.

Dining should be fun!

We believe dining out should be a fun, immersive, and shared experience. Our approach is more “laid back grazing”™, than the rigid rhythm of the traditional starter, main, and dessert courses. Each plate comes out as it’s ready, allowing you to chat away as the food rolls out, share each delicious dish, and take the time to mindfully taste your food. Sharing is caring after all, but it also allows you to sample even more bits from our interesting and tempting menu. A win-win scenario!

Taco Tuesday and tasty cocktails

Why not come down for Taco Tuesdays or sip cocktails at 2-4-1 Thursdays? Our budget-friendly solutions to combating that midweek slump! As the evening unfolds, the restaurant gently evolves into a chilled cocktail bar. We serve offbeat cocktails developed in-house, as well as all the classics with a cheeky Franks twist. Expect ambient lighting, amazing tunes, and even better vibes.
