Café Lido in Tendring

Brilliant food and brilliant owners. Recommend to all who want tasty hot food and welcoming service. Will go again worth the travel from frinton.

Superb wholefood store…. a pearl in the high street. High quality products including biodynamic veg; Fresh and tasty. Bread superb! The whole food ethos here is strong, modest and unpretentious. All the best to you.

We visit here weekly for lunch. The food is limited but excellent. We also enjoy seeing the finished painted pottery other visitors have made. Service is friendly, and it has a real community atmosphere.

The Inn has undergone a thoughtless renovation of furniture and decor. The 2024 renovation had stocked the rooms with locally made furnishings from Simon Pearce and Pompanoosuc Mills. The current attempt at mid century modern is colorblind and insulting. The decorators failed to consider The College, installing Yale Blue headboards and bedding runners. The multicolored heads in the artwork over the couch are pandering to multi culturalism while failing to recognize that all of the heads are shaped like a patrician white man. It is embarrassing. There is one cute print of Kemeny’s car with a BADIC license plate, but the rest of it is decorated like a typical Homewood Suites now. The Inn itself remains otherwise lovely. The staff are kind and welcoming, the bed is comfortable despite its ugliness, and the location at Dartmouth College (Yhe Home of The Big GREEN - not BLUE!) remains perfect.

Fast friendly service. Full English was amazing, really really good food.
