At Aurum, our cuisine celebrates the best of Essex and the UK and is located in the heart of Southend-on-Sea. Our 70 seater restaurant is open all day for breakfast, lunch, afternoon tea, and dinner. We take care to collaborate with local suppliers and producers to preserve their traditions and heritage. We follow the cycle of the seasons to bring regional cuisine and, hopefully, preserve what Nature intended. We constantly source and develop our ingredients and techniques to bring high-quality, fresh, and flavourful dishes to our table. Our menu at Aurum uses the best of the season’s produce and is locally sourced. We aim for it to be a combination of refined gastronomy with delicious flavour but, importantly, for it to be healthy, balanced, and exciting for the eye, as well as the palate. Sit back in elegance and watch the world on Clifton Terrace go by, whatever the season with views of the Thames Estuary. Relax and be confident that at Seven Hotel we know the meaning of customer service and will constantly strive to create a memorable experience for our valued guests.

Our new Autumn & Winter menu have launced at Aurum.
As the seasons begin to change, the menu moves with it. Richer flavours, warmer dishes and a few new plates that feel right for the colder months.

Grey skies, wet pavements and one of those mornings that needs something a little warmer.
Maple, bacon and American pancakes at Aurum. Sweet, salty, soft, crisp around the edges, and exactly the kind of breakfast that makes the weather slightly more bearable.

Pistachio Cherry Jewel Dome
A festive finish, with a little theatre.
Our pistachio cherry jewel dome brings together cherry mousse, white chocolate pistachio crumble, rum ice cream, frozen berries, candyfloss and a touch of edible gold.
After mains, after wine, after a proper evening around the table, this is the kind of dessert that feels made for December.
Festive dining at Aurum is now open for bookings.

Crushed avocado on toasted sourdough, poached eggs and smoked salmon on the side.
A simple breakfast dish, but one that has to be done properly. Good sourdough, ripe avocado, soft eggs and proper smoked salmon.
Served at Aurum, overlooking the estuary.

A little something different for June.

On Friday 26th June, we’re hosting our Pan-Asian Tasting Night at Aurum.
Five courses, taking in flavours from Japan, Korea and Southeast Asia, with dishes including kombu-cured tuna, king prawn with gochujang, miso black cod, beef short rib with rendang, and mango with coconut to finish.

It’s a menu we’ve been working on quietly, and one we’re really looking forward to serving.

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our sold-out Indian tasting night at Aurum.
A brilliant evening, full of flavour, warmth and a little journey through India, from the first course to the last. The kitchen put so much care into each dish, and it was lovely to see the restaurant full and the atmosphere buzzing.
We really appreciate everyone who came along and supported the night.
Keep an eye out for our next tasting evening, we’ll be announcing more soon.

Our take on a fish burger, slightly more polished than the one you might be thinking of......

Fresh beer-battered cod, homemade tartare sauce and rocket leaves, served in a soft bun. Crisp, light, and proper seaside comfort with a little Aurum touch.
A posh fish burger, if you like......
