A restaurant cafe on Southend Pier has been put on the market for just under £100,000.

Amos Estate Agents has described the business as an "ideal family venture". Up to 44 people can be seated in the cafe and there is also a detached takeaway up for sale.

Agents have stressed the potential passing trade to the cafe and takeaway - about 400,000 people visit the pier head every year.
