As am sure you know, the teashop in Finchingfield is open for takeaways.
That said, the service is fcking awful, the food shit and somewhat overpriced. But apart from that
Essex coast - most cafes are open for takeaways. Main issue in the lack of toilets - so the hedges are getting plenty of lubrication when I am out and about.
H’s is sort of open: they have a 'van in the carpark but the loos aren’t accessible. Which given how rank they were, isn’t such a bad thing. The Waterfront just down the road is open for takeaways but again, no loos.
We’ve started going to The Wandering Kitchen @ Wet n Wild just over the road from H’s as they’re open, the food and coffee is ruddy excellent, there’s loads of outdoor seating and THEY HAVE TOILETS . Watch out for the bike eating potholes in the carpark approach if you decide to give them a try though.
They are extending their hours and open late on a Wednesday if the weather is good.
“UPDATE: The Oakdene Cafe are now extending their opening hours for the BBQ and takeaway service to 7 days a week 10am-2pm and Wednesday evenings 5pm Until 9pm.”
