Excellent food from Sonya and excellent service from Shauna (which I’ve probably spelt wrong) Fairly priced for the portion sizes . I had the 10oz Rump which was stunning and the amount of sides is plentiful ! If you’re in the redwings hotel opposite treat yourself lads Big Dave the construction reviewer

Stayed in hotel next door and walked into restaurant about 8PM. The staff were very attentive and apologised that the food might be some time coming. We ordered some drinks at the bar and sat down and ordered our food. It must have been only 10 minutes wait at the most. We have chosen the lasagne. It was beautifully homemade and tasted delicious, There was a good choice of food and a desert menu which was also perfect too as the photos.

We have been to this Restaurant varies times and have always had a great experience. Each time, food drink and staff have been great and today was the same however, we are saddened that someone asked my partner whether he had picked up after our dog when all she had was a wee. We have bags and always pick up. Just something that didn’t need to be said. Shame as we love Coteys 😞

The best steak I've had in a long time. Large portons and a really nice salad. Definitely worth a visit and reasonable priced menu.

Great cafe and wonderful staff Stayed in the hotel next door,the restaurant is licensed so had a drink and then ordered a breakfast baguette to be ready for the morning. Staff were very helpful and the food good quality. Look forward to returning.

Sonia at Coteys & her team blessed me with a truly wonderful birthday spread. My wishes were Italian & 50s British ! Everyone said how it was top notch. Something for all, children tucking in & using the garden to run off their energy Great venue & great food all prepared on site none of the supermarket apple pie & trifle. The star of the spread was the lasagna. Thank you ,my 70th will be remembered fondly

We have passed by Cotey's on our way to Harlow on numerous occasions but this time we decided to stop and have breakfast. I had the full English and my wife had the eggs Royale. The food was absolutely delicious, one of the best breakfasts I have ever had. The staff were welcoming and friendly and the food was great value for money. I can highly recommend Cotey's Restaurant.

We hadnt been to this place before. Was very clean and welcoming. We had the Sunday Roast. Came in two sizes. Vegetables cooked perfectly and arrived lovely and hot. Nothing was too much trouble. Very enjoyable and would recommend. We will definitely go again

This little gem is well worth a visit!! Working away from home with my husband and stumbled upon this cafe and very pleased we did. This little gem is well worth a visit. Staff so friendly and food stunning from presentation to taste. We had the curry and it was really lovely. Desserts were brought to the table in a glass dome to choose from. The menu was brilliant from gluten free, vegan and vegetarian to home comfort meals all homemade. Highly recommend a visit.

Fantastic staff and the food was great! I stayed at the Redwings Lodge, which is behind Cotey’s, and they don’t do food so I went for dinner at Cotey’s. Lovely steak, massive portions and very reasonably priced, expertly cooked by Sonia the proprietor. Angela, our server, also offered to open 30 mins earlier the next morning so we could have a cooked breakfast!!

arrived for a 3pm reservation, by half 3 we’re still waiting for drinks orders to be taken & by 4:30 we was still waiting for food to come out. roast dinner wasn’t the best but for the price was ok. cheap & cheerful, service was just very slow, but again this could be because it was a sunday (wasn’t overly busy though)

This restaurant and its lovely staff represent a hidden gem. The picture of a fry-up on this site doesn't do the place justice! I had two brilliant roast meals with two courses, and the starters were just as good as the first class main courses. People at neighbouring tables, with one couple who had eaten out all over the world, were just as complimentary and enthusiastic as I for the value and obliging staff. There is even an equally good value but separate, hotel on site. That's called Redwings Hotel.

Great selection of Sunday Roasts. We were a big group of 13 so called ahead and they re-arranged the tables for us. Due to the size of the order our food did arrive in batches. Most of us had roast or kids roasts, which were all good. Decent size portions and friendly staff. Dog friendly too, even gave us a free sausage for the dogs.

Wow what a little gem .. I often pass this as it is on the A1 southbound just before the services turn off, but today I decided to have my breakfast there. Lovely eating environment and friendly service. I went for the big brekkie and an OJ .. Given their location, i felt the prices were fair and what you got was really good quality food (none of those awful cereal filled sausages ) . The added bonus is that they take the Blue light card and defense discount card so you get an extra 10% off of you bill. All in all a great experience and as Arnie said ' I will be back' ...

Food seemed to take ages. We had a burger and two ploughmen’s. Burger was burnt and raw in the middle. Ploughman’s were a bit random. Cheese ploughman’s had a lump of cheddar, crisps, salad, pickle onions, onion relish and a whole baguette. The same for the ham ploughman’s with the exception of no cheese. I notice the ploughmans pictured on here also have porkpie and pate so definitely lacked somewhat. Salad was covered in vinegar so unable to eat. Overall a bit disappointing being we have heard good things about here. Not for us!

The food was nice but there was no salt and pepper on the table no lemon wipes to clean fingers after. Staff was around to seat you and take your order but would not look at you after so could not signal for the bill. Managed to pay at the bar and ask to box up what we could not eat.
