About
Welcome to the culinary gem known as NUGS Leigh-On-Sea, situated at 35 Progress Road, Southend-on-Sea, this delightful eatery has quickly risen to prominence among food lovers and health-conscious diners alike. With a focus on gluten-free offerings, NUGS has captured the hearts (and stomachs) of many, including those with dietary restrictions.
As a food reviewer for Foodjoyy, I am thrilled to share my insights on this remarkable establishment. Featuring a tantalizing array of mouthwatering nuggets, NUGS prides itself on providing a diverse menu that caters to both gluten-sensitive diners and those simply seeking an unforgettable meal.
Take it from Briony Grogan, a recent visitor who lauded the BBQ nuggets as "incredible" and appreciated the vast selection available, noting, "I could eat the whole menu." Her positive experience shows that NUGS not only meets gluten-free needs but also delights taste buds across the board. This sentiment is echoed by Lucy Taylor, who raves about the quality of the southern fried nuggets as “the best in the area.”
The ambiance at NUGS Leigh-On-Sea is complemented by a team dedicated to exceptional service. Customer Ricky C describes Dan and his staff as patient and informative, recommending flavors and sides that magnificently enhance the dining experience. One standout that caught my attention is the corn ribs, a creative side that adds a touch of innovation to the traditional nugget meal.
What truly sets NUGS apart is not just the food but the community it fosters. Katherine Hall felt the warmth of the staff and the positive vibes during her visit, stating, "The food is phenomenal!" Her enthusiasm is palpable, capturing the essence of what makes NUGS a cherished destination for locals and visitors alike.
I also had the pleasure of trying the Garlic Butter Nuggets, Buffalo Nuggets, and Jerk Nuggets, each bursting with flavor and accompanied by crisp, golden coatings. The generous portion sizes ensure that you’re not just satisfied but truly indulged in a heavenly nugget experience. It’s clear that the team at NUGS is both passionate about their craft and committed to maintaining the highest standards of hygiene and service.
If you find yourself in Southend-on-Sea, make sure to stop by NUGS. Your taste buds—and potentially your health—will thank you for it. Whether you are a gluten-free diner or simply a nugget aficionado, the culinary delights waiting for you at NUGS will likely turn your visit into a regular outing. As Briony suggests, perhaps one day they will open a location in Colchester—or anywhere else you can imagine a delicious nugget adventure. Until then, enjoy your nuggets at NUGS Leigh-On-Sea!
“ I've read about NUGS on the coeliac groups on social media so I made sure I stopped by whilst visiting Southend. It did not disappoint. I could eat the whole menu apart from the macaroni cheese and onion rings. I had the BBQ nuggets which were incredible. I also ate with my Muggle friends and daughter who loved their food and did not miss the gluten. If you could just open up in Colchester next, that would be amazing! Thank you! ”
