Davey's in Tendring

Food is top-notch fantastic cafe the waitresses are very complacent and been there a long time you take your life in your hands one day they are nice the next day they are miserable not happy at all just ok and goodbye my mum is in a care home in Clacton and I visit once a week a news Davies as the food is nice but staff not so good

Had the Eggs Royale. Asked if it came with muffins was told yes. Turned out to be un toasted bap, over cooked eggs and disguised with hollandaise sauce. Shame because nice people and atmosphere

I had a lovely Chicken Curry. It was hot, but you could still taste the flavour of the Spices. I've had Curries where they were just hot, you couldn't taste the food or spices. This one I recommend. I prefer it without the Coriander. That's just me. The Mango Chutney is a must, it adds the finishing garnish. The staff are nice, they try to accommodate as best as they can to meet your tastes in food. You can also have a laugh with them at times. Something really funny happened the other week, Dad and I couldn't do nothing but laugh. The food is really well cooked. Always been happy with it

lovely fresh food as always, a friendly welcome, helpful staff nothing is too much trouble. we'll done we will be back.

Decent fry up for a decent price. Service was good and plenty of space.

Excellent 1st class food and service, definitely going back.

Found this lovely little restaurant on our visit . Food fresh and tasty /well presented. Plenty of choice .We all enjoyed our lunch . Clean and cosy Friendly staff Would definitely come back .

This is a real gem!! If your nearby go Daveys, food is amazing, portion sizes generous and traditional food but loads of choice !! Lovely. Xx

Lovely Sunday lunch. Staff very friendly and accommodating. Reasonably priced

Absolutely great service, excellent food and very friendly staff

Love taking the family into this lovely family run restaurant. Dean the owner is very friendly and his food is good quality at a reasonable price. I would highly recommend this food establishment.

Good home food. Never had a bad meal. Meat pie takes a lot of beating. Overall a nice place to eat.

Excellent way to start the Easter long weekend 2024! trying out the new menu at Davey's Cafe Breakfast menu! Yes it was as good as it looks! Only a 1 minute walk from town centre this cafe has had the same owner operator/Chef for 35+ years. Certainly the best breakfast and value in Clacton! Best mug of tea too! Consistently GREAT food, great service, helpful, friendly staff, who have worked here for years. Very competitively priced, daily fresh food, Davey's is Clacton's best kept secret. Recommend! 10/10 The homemade cake of the day is always worth trying as are also delish!

A very good cafe, very busy so best to book in advance. We had breakfasts which were cooked well. Lots of other options available.

Another visit to my brother in law & sister in law in clacton. We always go to Davey's for breakfast each day. Super choice and cooked to perfection as well as tasty. Excellent value for money with great service by friendly staff. Recommend a visit if you're in Clacton for breakfast or dinner. Ideal for families . Steve murray

Good home cooked style of food for a good price, friendly and welcoming

Been here a couple of times now and can't fault it. The staff are more than helpful & the food is lovely

Excellent food girls are very friendly very clean will be returning with the family

Been here a few times,food is always nice! And clean friendly environment! Would recommend! Never tried breakfast yet! But hope to try soon. Update: had breakfast, was good apart from Bubble and squeak was bit of a let down. Frozen veg instead of chopped up fresh veg!

Excellent service. Food amazing as always.

Outstanding full English breakfast and tea. Black pudding and fried bread were moist and tasty.

Amazing food... And the service was so warm and friendly... Looking forward to visiting again

Lovely Sunday roast with my wife

Very nice food and staff very friendly second day on the trot very nice.

me and my boyfriend go into daveys quite a bit for dinner whenever we are in Clacton the food is lovely to they also beer wine and other drinks to and it's OK for getting wheelchairs and prams or buggy to

Absolutely amazing for meal . Staff are very courteous. Definitely we will be back soon.

Fitted us in,even though they had people due but as always, food outstanding and polite staff..Been going there since my children,where young and they're now 33 and 28 😀

Good traditional food for a fair price, still great food and had a redec through the pandemic

Everyones experience is different but my personal experience at Davey's Restaurant is always positive and the meals are delightful to the eye and fulfilling, try and go as often as I can would definitely recommend*****

We always come here when in Clacton on sea and it has always been very good but things do change I guess.the prices have gone up a little but so has everything else so can't complain about that but the food wasn't up to usual standard and the service has gone down hill.i will look for somewhere else to eat when I'm next down

We ordered two lattes for drinks, frankly I had no idea what sort drink they gave us. My wife changed hers but mine, I thought there was salt in my drink. Horrible and testless. We asked for white and brown toast with butter but we had them before and not toast. I couldn't put up anymore, I asked to change. The food wasn't great either. We were visiting Clacton for the first time and decided to support local shop rather McDonald's, but we were regret to do that. I am afraid: not recommend.

Lovely food served here! Love the roast of the day and the sliced beef is so tender 😋. We ordered a beef lasagna, quiche, lamb chop and the crispy cod strips for the 7 of us. There's no regrets!!😁. Thanks for the good food and services provided.

Always good food at good value and a personal service.

Big portions and delicious of home made like dishes. Very experienced and lovely service. Will definitely visit again. Well done 👍

Good food, good value. Bad coffee

Have put review on trip advisors saying how wonderful Daveys is and fastic food and staff come here all the time it's the best homemade food all fresh best restaurant here in Clacton Maggie & Louie

Excellent food and friendly atmosphere

Привітний персонал,смачна кухня а також швидко готують замовлення...

Waitress seemed stressed no expression.

Food is nice. Very expensive for children

Have used this restaurant several times before but didn't enjoy it this time. I had the lasagne but it had tiny tiny pieces of mince in it, was very tomatoy and had a very thick layer of white sauce on the top. Wasn't the best. Also very expensive compared to other restaurants we dine in. The staff seemed abit stressed and didn't come across friendly at times.

Amazing food one of the best places to eat ,ever

Very nice and busy place, we choose this family restaurant from Google reviews. Very nice and fresh food maybe portions could be a bit bigger but everything was so nice. What you can eat when you spending time on the seaside only fish and chips 🍟🐟

Good English grub. Reasonably priced and good quality. Salmon is excellent.

I lived in clacton for a long time and this is my and my families favourite place to eat. The food Is always fresh, well presented and tasty. Lots of variety to chose from, I always have a beef dinner. I still travel down an hour and a half just to have a Daveys every week or 2. If you want guaranteed good food with good personal service for a very reasonable price then this is the place to go.

Always great reliable food and service. Lovely staff.

Fantastic restaurant, quality home cooked food and excellent service in tasteful surroundings.

We just finished our delicious lunch, lovely place, great atmosphere. We are coming back very soon.

Lovely little old fashioned cafe that’s been open for decades.

Always good food here, staff always very pleasant. Don't wait ages for food from ordering. Very clean nice atmosphere.

It is an excellent traditional restaurant with good wholesome food and excellent service. Good value for money. I would thoroughly recommend Davey's to anyone living in, or visiting Clacton....

Always delicious been coming here with family members for well over 20 years. Nice to see familiar staff and great food.

This place bridges the gap between cafe and restaurant - in a good way. If you are a fan of bubble and squeak, you're in for a treat.

Well located in the centre of Clacton. Nearby large parking space. Excellent service and good quality food. Good atmosphere. Easy disabled access .

A well run restaurant, good service, friendly staff,always clean. My favourite place in Clacton.

Great food and staff food is always good

Lovely little cafe, like walking into someone's living room. Great welcoming atmosphere, tasty food, great portion sizes and you can see its popular with the locals.

Good food nice welcome food served fast and well cooked

Had a great breakfast..absolutely brilliant 👏

Good service.Friendly atmosphere.

I went there with a few friends. The food and service were excellent and they were happy to write out separate Bills

BUBBLE, BUBBLE,BUBBLE . IF BUBBLE MAKING WAS AN OLYMPIC SPORT THIS PLACE WOULD WIN GOLD EVERYTIME...

Daveys restaurant is the only place to eat in clacton, the home cooked food is amazing, great service. Just perfect.

Brilliant meal great service as always ❤️

This place is a clacton institution, been here for decades. The food is always lovely, really nice fresh veg and good variety. The ladies are busy but friendly and it's not too expensive. It's a working class kind of place, but two steps above most of them. It's the best place for lunch in town.

Always been a favourite of ours when we want lunch nice friendly restaurant

We went in to have a drink we ordered two hot drinks and were made to feel uncomfortable. As we were sitting in drinking our drinks we over heard the staff talking about us. This is not acceptable and we will not be going in again.

Shhhh don't tell everyone this place is the best ,real homemade grub nd lovely staff we always head there.

Have been to Daveys many timesand loved it good food and service. The last time I went a couple came in after us, they had their order taken and drinks served. We were ignored for about 10 mins we were getting annoyed when finally she came over. If it hadn't been for promising my grandson a treat we would have walked and told her why. I am putting this review not to harm business but hopefully help then see that not all are happy as they have lost a family of customers. I don't want them to loose more.

Nice restaurant, nice food, nice staff

I've been here a couple of times now . The food is always good. Proper home cooked meals

Terrible. Food quality and prices were very poor. Avoid

Great roast dinner everyone ready to please

Very good food and brilliant service.

Lovely freshly cooked food Friendly staff Great value Home made chips 🍟 😋 😍

This place offers good value food. It's not large so I'd recommend pre booking to ensure you get a table if there is a few of you in a group.

Delicious homemade food lovely staff never disappointed

Very pleased with my meal. Service was excellent.

Me and my Family all love this place, whenever we visit my sisters Caravan we always pop in for a meal, Great value and quality food cooked to a high standard and the staff are all very polite and helpful

Cute intimate diner experience, friendly customer service, a lovely experience, very reasonably priced

This morning we had the pleasure of breakfast at Daveys. The service, seating area and food was 5* plus!!! Absolutely superb from start to finish.

Love it here. Staff were lovely. We had make your own breakfast and omelette and chips. Perfectly delicious. We was walk-in but got busy very quick. Definitely going back. Only reason for 4 stars is the toilets. Definitely need a revamp/updo.

Went here on the of chance, read the reviews and can say it lived up to them. Very friendly and clean, food was nicely cooked and reasonably priced. Would highly recommend. Mum and I had jacket potato filled with bolognaise and cheese and salad. The salad was really fresh.

Always a great meal whatever time of day.

Very nice restaurant, fully redecorated since I was last in there , great service and lovely food

Really good food, we popped in on the off chance was asked if we had booked we said no but they managed to squeeze us in. It is a local favourite and we could see why. Friendly polite staff, clean, food was good quality and tasty

Love it . Good menu and good quality . Always visit when I go to Clacton

The food is 💯/10 it is amazing specially we’re it is located and the service is amazing and how the food is served it makes it look a lot better the best restaurant in clacton 👌

Lovely meal and friendly staff. Bit cramped

Great service, fresh food, good menu. Great breakfast and lunch. After trying out many local places, this is the one I keep coming back to.

Only had a very light lunch and a coffee , but the food looked amazing that others ordered, and all clean plates.
