The Osea View Cafe

Nestled on the stunning coastline near Maldon in Essex on the banks of the Blackwater Estuary, The Osea View Café is relaunching with a fresh new look and feel. Overseen by Osea’s directors, Janie and Wilf Robinson, the café is returning to its roots under their creative vision. Janie, an acclaimed interior designer, local artist, and the mastermind behind the iconic Osea Beach Huts, brings her passion and flair back to the café, which she originally founded 10 years ago. Wilf, a devoted foodie, ensures the new menu reflects their love of local and seasonal ingredients, including foraged produce and the renowned Maldon Oysters.
