Dog & Pheasant in Tendring

A pub is always the centre of a local community and the D&P is a beating heart of Myland. I would recommend our local to anyone. Aaron the assistant manager is a diamond in the rough. Smart, helpful and insightful to how a community pub should be run. Pete and Liz are fantastic too.

Absolutely lovely family pub. Aaron the manager is a lovely man - very friendly and welcoming. Would recommend a visit.

Solid local and since the renovation its easy on the eye as well. Would recommend to anyone in the area. Need to fill out my minimum 100 characters. Big up all the staff.

Very clean and good atmosphere. Ample, nice seating and service was friendly. Aaron and Pete were excellent. Will be visiting again.

Brilliant food, crisp beer and a welcoming atmosphere. Must say, Aaron is fantastic and can never do enough for you! Will be back for sure!

Best place to come for food and drinks outside of the Town Centre, Aaron and the team always so welcoming and food is always top quality!

Great pub and fantastic team, especially Aaron!! The menu has great options for veggies which is always a plus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Lovely italian night! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food was amazing and i recommend the new chef! It featured a variety of Italian delights, each with its own distinct flavour. The crispy arancini were perfectly golden and crunchy, served in a flavourful tomato sauce that added just the right amount of tang. The prawns, nestled in a shell and smothered in a rich tomato sauce, were tender and cooked to perfection, delivering a burst of flavour with every bite. Alongside that, we had a delicious prosciutto-wrapped grissini that added a crunchy contrast to the meal. Each element on the plate was thoughtfully prepared, and it was clear that the chef had taken great care to present these classic Italian flavors in a modern and inviting way. Every bite was a delightful experience, rich in taste and texture.

Brooke and charlotte the best duo🫶 made my evening. They brought entertainment to my night with their banter and excellent customer service. I will be babk!

Fantastic overall, the food was absolutely lovely. Marie was exceptional. Food was brought very quickly. Catered brilliantly to our needs. We will 100% be back.

We very much enjoyed the meal tonight the staff were their enjoyable selves exactly what we needed! Always enjoy coming here!

Had an amazing time with the family and had a really great dinner with exceptional service from Aaron, Amelia and Charlotte!

Brooke and Aaron - fantastic people and going above and beyond what they should do! Can’t fault their hospitality and making sure they are helping their customers out 100%

Good food, really enjoyed the pie and chips, relaxed and good evening catching up with family. We come every few weeks as its good value too.

Aaron and Brooke amazing, amazing service and friendly. Would recommend. it’s coming home, Phil fodens on fire and he’s tearing the Germans apart x

Absolutely amazing. One of the best restaurants Ive been to in a long while. Even treated my little dog with some food. Food was absolutely delicious. Will be going again.

Charlotte and liz are amazing! The atmosphere of the pub was nice for a Monday night. Me and the lads will be back. Also lovikg the easter display!

My Sunday roast beef was the worst one I've had lovely pub but food let them down would not recommend the Sunday roast dinner

Went here for an impromptu lunch with my wife and was impressed, as always, by the staff, service, ambience and food. It really has done brilliantly since the refurbishment. Special mention to Aaron for taking the time to speak with us as we wanted to find out what had changed…he is a credit to the team. However, all the staff are wonderful here. Will definitely come again and recommend to others.

Guinness was good, head was better. 5 star review food came out great and nice place to go with family and friends. Props to the girl at the bar

Lovely visit since the refurb. Food & service was amazing Food came out very hot & super tasty. A special mention to Aaron, Brooke & Lillie. Staff are a massive credit to this pub. We will return very soon. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Good drinks, food, atmosphere and well looked after! Attentive but not too attentive staff and a big crowd of us who all had a great time.

Drinks didn't arive till after our starters and we enquired as to where they were and cloudnt get to bar to ask as there was no step free access from the restaurant area. And very limited number of tables to choose from due to being a wheelchair user. Food was good. And arrived promptly and hot. My friend had a burger. And it was very over cooked and dry. No staff did check back during our mains. Only on starters.

Came for partners birthday meal with family. Really lovely service, food was great, great value for money and amazing interior

Great menu choices, something for everyone, ordered a full English and was cooked to perfection. Will be returning soon

Tonight i had the most enjoyable salad dinner with chicken with lime and sweet chilli sauce The presentation was excellent and the taste was delicious and plentiful The pub has had a new makeover Everything including the staff was excellent and friendly We all enjoy our evening and will definitely be going again

Lovely atmosphere great for a family meal. Delicious food. Special shout out for Peter and Stevi for their helpfulness. Thank you 😊

Greated at the door by the very friendly Arron, who showed us to our table explained the ordering process. Arron checked on us during the evening but was not intrusive. Meal was served promptly and was hot and a good size, the re fit is great.

Was amazing , food and drink were so good, staff were lovely including one girl called poppy who told us about the shots deals - deffo coming back !

Great food, great prices friendly staff and the new decor is amazing Thanks to Ollie and all the staff team for a lovely afternoon

Aaron was a great waiter and made my day with some funny jokes Chips are to perfection and even got to get a free drink when signing up. Definitely coming back

Wonderful service from start to finish. Charlotte and Pete are what make the d&p. Their friendly always to help service makes my visits worthwhile. Well, done guys keep it up

Good drinks and atmosphere. Staff make you welcome. Thanks to the servers Brooke, Lily and even the happiest person behind the bar Charlotte

Pub refreshed and decoration brighter and renamed "Greene King", Seems somebody forgot and still doing Hungry Horse food at Greene king prices. Chips were good ! Fish just about bearable, mushy peas a stodgy cold lump. No Ipa available (again).... Ordered Ciders, got served Fosters....

Lovely atmosphere! Aaron, Lilly & Jess were outstanding! Definetely come back again brilliant and quick service! Looking forward to trying the food next time!

We booked with an open mind after a less than impressive visit a couple of years ago. We were very pleasantly pleased with the updated décor and friendly staff. After being warmly welcomed by Aaron and shown to our seat. We were given time to...

Charlotte and Lauren are amazing the best servers in the pub. Food was good, will come back again. Goof sports bar. Shout out to lily

The food was ok nothing special but the service was great and can't fault how warmly welcomed me and my daughters was by Brooke ..

Service was very good, especially Lily, who gave us a 1st class experience. Food okay. Menu very similar to before the re-fit.

Lovely midweek meal. Ate from the 2 for £14.99 menu which was good value. Took our 2 year old daughter who was well looked after with an extra desert. Served by Aaron

Amazing the decor is beautiful and clean sanitary stations … dog friendly too which is amazing for me food is cheap and cheerful but the staff make it for me I suffer with severe mental health and places can overwhelm me but charlotte and Aaron...

Aaron was our server and was warm and welcoming. The food went down a treat. We will be returning. The place looks so much better after the refit.

New Dog and Pheasant, same old Dog and Pheasant! Poor choice of cask ales and only one available. Had a very ordinary keg IPA. Charged £6.40! London prices in the back end of Colchester.

Well what a change, amazing refurb, staff were smiling, food was much better than the last menu. Have been here a few times in the past and can say that it has defo changed for the better

We live less than a 5 minute walk away. In the 9 years we have lived locally we have visited the pub maybe three times to sit inside and a few times to eat outside in the Summer. Well! We’ve been twice in the last...

Great spot and amazing service )Arron was amazing really kind and gave us free ice cream for the little one

We’ve not been in for ages and wanted to see the refurb. It’s honestly lovely. Feels like a totally different place. Doesn’t seem to be a hungry horse as such anymore but a Greene king pub. The menu is smaller but we didn’t mind that....

Being a fairly regular customer we wanted to get in and see the new decor since the refurb. Looked good, staff superb as well. The new menu was very bland. All well and good to reduce choices to make the kitchen more efficient but there...

We have not been to this place for years but we thought we would give it a go after the refurb. Yes the place looks much better now but the service and food was sub standard. We waited around 20 minutes to get our drinks...

Having used this pub frequently over the last 40 years we were keen to see the refurbishment. This has been done very well and made it more spacious and brighter. The toilets had been upgraded to a better standard. Sadly cannot say the same about...

Traditional popular pub that happens to be fairly close to where a relative of ours lives. Anyone who remembers Bejam will be familiar with the type of food available here. On the plus side the prices also hark back to an earlier time and the...

Love the new refurb!!! Such a great time Food was delicious came out quick & excellent service all very attentive & polite will definitely be visiting again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Traumatising! Hairs in dishes, cold food, long waits, terrible quality, defensive staff- would feel overpriced if it was free.

9 of us went for dinner out, over the weekend (Sunday). All the meals off the new menu were fantastic that we ordered. My Katsu curry was 5🌟. Great selection of alcohol for over 18’s… The acoustic guitarist was sensational. Plenty of staff to take...

Food was great, had the Katsu curry and didn’t manage to finish! Cailtin was by far the star of the show with her excellent attention to detail and her beautiful approach to delivering excellent customer service truly is second to none. You will be seeing...
