About

Mecca Southend is one of the most modern bingo halls in the country. It recently underwent a £1.5 million refurbishment, which included updating the bar, diner, toilets, and an upgrade to its outside social area.

The purpose-built venue has over 900 seats, 140 electronic bingo terminals, two bars, and a café that brings food straight to the table when it is ready. The outdoor area also includes tables, seating, and an optional overhead cover, which is handy if you fancy a drink in the fresh air between sessions.

This seaside club is well located and has good public transport links. Bus services stop close by, and the train station is within walking distance, while drivers can also use the large customer car park on site.

Can be a great sociable night out with friends.
Unfortunately it’s books against boards, and a majority of the time the books do not stand a chance of winning. My sister and I went recently and saw how many boards won against the books, we vowed we won’t be going back again (which is sad because we used to look forward to going to bingo), at least until they change the system which in my opinion is completely unfair for those who can only afford to buy books.

My wife and I have not been to Mecca for a while due to illness. We visited Sunday 30/01/22. The staff had the best attitude and are a credit to the company. They were very friendly, helpful and patient with our enquiries. A great afternoon out, many thanks.
All good - nothing to complain about.

The club is light, airy and clean. The staff are all very helpful.
The wait times are too long to be served at the bar. Also, you should be able to pre-order so that you can eat whilst not playing bingo so the food doesn't go cold. There also definitely needs to be more staff, I was waiting a long time for change.

I love playing bingo to relax.
Mecca needs more staff as customers are left too long waiting to buy tickets and food/drink due to lack of resources. It is a false economy as time left waiting is loss of revenue at the table games that would easily be recouped, plus profit, by a couple of extra staff.
