Charnallies Restaurant in Tendring

Absolutely love it here! So friendly and the food is unreal. I’m the awkward customer who only wanted Salad Cream and the staff literally ran to the shop to get some - so grateful (and I’m really sorry!!) Amy, the waitress delivered the best service. Thank you so much ☺️

I was visiting family I live in Portsmouth we decided to go for dinner and I'm glad we chose chanallies. From start to finish our server was brilliant friendly fun and helpful,to top it off the food was really good and her name is Helen such an asset to the restaurant

My family & I went for an evening meal , there was 5 of us , Helen the waitress was friendly & very nice , the food was excellent & the cocktails were the best in town We all enjoyed it & had a nice time

Great food great service overall great morning definitely come here if your in clacton go to charnallies and get the breakfast platter

Lovely food which is cooked fresh good coffee and our daughter loves the milkshakes our waitress Naomi was fab really attentive looking forward to going next Sunday

Excellent service all around , the waitresses are always kind this was my 6th time visiting and I never had an issue food always great and hot service always amazing also

The food was fantastic, the restaurant was very clean and the atmosphere was very friendly. Our server Helen was very warm, welcoming and polite. Will visit again !

I was looking forward to a nice meal and to treat my friends. However the nachos were not worth the money, the pulled pork was just clumped and not distributed evenly. The nachos were soft including the ones not covered in sauce. The hotdog was just tasteless throughout. The salad was good though and the water was perfect. Very disappointed. The service is the only thing that has made me put three stars

Best breakfast around top service and amie went the extra mile to make sure we was comfortable. Would highly recommend.

The food was very good, service was excellent. Our server was Annie, she was friendly, efficient and helpful. We would definitely return.

Brilliant service from Amie, very friendly staff.. great food! Excellent chefs very satisfied regular 🤩 come in most days

Stopped here for lunch, had jacket potatoes, all good. Fully dog friendly. Glad we stopped for lunch here. Friendly staff. Good food.

Absolutely lovely food complimentsto chef and our server helen went above and beyond as she always does shes a credit to the company 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Lovely food of steak salad, panini, jacket potato and waffle, yummy cocktails, thank you to our server Bailey for lovely service!

The sharer platter, which is almost £18, includes the tiniest bowl of nachos, 4 onion rings, 4 mozzarella sticks and 4 breaded mushrooms. We specifically asked if the platter was enough for two and was told it could feed 5 people. It definitely wasn’t enough, barely a snack, and the food ruined both of our stomachs. It’s clear the food is pre prepared frozen food that is reheated, as it came out to us incredibly quickly. A few hours after eating we had horrendous stomach pain. The staff however were very friendly and the music was great.

This is the best eatery in Clacton by far, we also had our daughter with us who has extra needs and the staff were fantastic and offered the right support. Food is amazing....

Food was absolutely horrendous. Garlic bread swimming in oil, the bbq sauce on the pizza was way too much and the cheese on the pizza wasn’t even melted when we received it. On top of that the chicken burger had several chewy gristly bits inside,...

Decided to go to Charnallies for breakfast and all opted for the breakfast platter, couldn't believe how much you get for only £6 each, was very tasty, would definitely recommend it and lovely friendly staff too.

We had two courses, which was delicious. Friendly service and good value. We would highly recommend the lunch time menu, a wide choice starters, mains and dessert.

Had a lovely birthday lunch here. The meal and the service were great. When booking I made a comment about being gluten intolerant and that it was my birthday, when we arrived there were balloons, a birthday banner, specific menus on the table for gluten...

We had a lovely meal at Charnallies tonight ! I had marinated chicken and my partner had swordfish (never had before and not a big fisher lover) he loved it !

Welcoming with great service, disability inclusive. Great food especially sweet potato fries and sundaes. Great spot for air show.

Great food but slow service on this occasion. I appreciate we were a large party of 12, but waiting for 1 hour for our food felt excessive, especially with hungry children! Friendly staff.

Very expensive for not much food .. the kids fruit sundae was mainly just banana with a few bits of orange and pineapple .. could do so much better

Staff are lovely couldn’t doubt them at all! A nice easy place to go for a little night out or just a nice decent meal with mates

Friendly staff who accommodated 15 of us and the dogs last minute. We had a really friendly waitress and Lovely food and drink, the cocktails are 2 for 1 sunday - friday until 8pm excluding bank holidays, and they were delicious!! Would definitely recommend.

Nice food pleasant and comfortable DOG friendly Our Server HELEN was friendly, attentive, kind and helpful Made our visit all the more enjoyable

First time visiting Clacton on Sea, we had previously tried somewhere new the night before which was great and we went looking for something else new the following day. We had spotted Charnallies opposite from our hotel (The Royal Hotel) and decided to give it ago. As we hadn't booked, we were obviously expecting either a decline or a wait but neither occurred so was offered a table pretty much straight away.It may have been my eyesight but the restaurant seemed quite dark/dimly lit where we were sitting but it didn't cause any problems for us but may for those who do struggle in low light, reading the menu. The restaurant was quite busy but staff seemed to manage well, they were polite and approachable and the two waitresses we spoke too, were chatty and friendly, which was nice and comfortable.The food was reasonably priced and was very nice. I had the "Burger with the works", I think its called and it was really filling and worth the price. Drinks were as you'd expect, wet and did the job in regards to qwenching thirst. Would more than likely return, if we ever visit Clacton again.

Heißt Italienische Küche, aber die wissen nicht wie in Italien gekocht wird! Das Essen war alles ohne Geschmack! Es wurde komplett ohne Gewürz gearbeitet. Das Fleisch hatte nur brandig geschmeckt weil es schwarz war - sonst war auch dies ohne Geschmack. Wir kamen ohne Reservierung und es hieß wir sollten nach 1h bereits wieder gehen da der Tisch dann vergeben ist. Es kam niemand, das Restaurant war nichteinmal halb voll und die Bedienung unfreundlich. Nur zu empfehlen wenn man keine Gewürze verträgt und sonst auch keine Ansprüche hat.

Thought I would take my daughter here with a large group of family and friends for her birthday. Went along to book, found it allowed dogs in and booked at the restaurant over the road (the one beginning with A) instead.

Had a couple of upmarket burgers, and drinks.

Had a couple of upmarket burgers, and drinks. Small problem with one burger - partly underdone and although I didn’t ask, they insisted on not charging for that meal. Very friendly and efficient service.

Went here with my partner for an evening meal. Food was good, portions were a good size. The waiter we had was excellent, had a nice conversation with us after our meal when we were paying the bill. All in all, for the price we paid, we can't complain! Will be back

very friendly. food consistent high standard. not the cheapest but well worth the money. staff very efficient and accommodating

Charnallies is one of my favourite restaurants in Clacton located near the arcades its a very great place to eat, The staff are always helpful and friendly to all guest I've been here with friends and with adults I looks after. I can't fault any thing with the restaurant. They do the best cocktails to along with all the delicious food

Just a quick one.Went Mother's Day afternoon with partner and toddler.No booking was needed and we were seated immediately. I had the calzone and the Mrs had pasta. Both came out very hot which I like as it stays warm longer.The waiter was a young local chap who was ever so nice and polite. Struggled to find a decent place to eat in on our weekend away. Luckily we found this place. Although we'll never visit clacton again, if you do visit, this is the place to go for genuine tasty food!
