"Waffley good value, £3.50 and plenty enough to share"

"Super helpful staff: arrived with two small hungry children after lunch Plan-A fell through. The queue was long & I was told 10-15 min wait for food but chef did kids v quickly & saved the day!"

"Bring buckets and spades if your wee ones like sand-play"

"Small but perfectly formed. Clean, quiet, great play area with challenging equipment for my almost 4 year old and his friend. Nice cafe, 2h free parking and views of the Thames Barrier too"

"Under 5s are free and you can buy a 360 ticket to stay on and do the round trip (£6,40 I think). No more expensive than a return. Can also top up if you need to and use your Oyster card to buy it"

"Great sand for the kids to play in, near to cafes and restaurants. Closes on 21st Sept. Would be idyllic if it weren't for the whiff from the waste recycling centre near by."
