EastCoast5 in Tendring

Hands down the best restaurant in Walton-on-the-Naze! So many delicious breakfast and brunch options. And don't get me started on the cocktails they offer in the evenings. If you're visiting Walton, then don't miss a visit to the EastCoast5 restaurant! My favourite.

10 of us and the service was very good

We happened upon this place today after a walk on the beach. We called in for a wisdom snack but they had Dover sole on the species board so I decided to have it. It was outstanding. Delicious and perfectly cooked. Staff were friendly and attentive. Prices are fair. Very welcoming for kids and dog friendly. We will be back!

Wonderful meal. Lovely staff. Thoroughly recommend

Lovely lunch with two children and two dogs. Served quickly, nice food and friendly staff.

We travel 15 miles to dine here as the food, customer service, atmosphere are great. Well worth the visit thankyou Andre and the team,

Had a great lunch. Great service with friendly staff, felt very well looked after. The atmosphere was very relaxing and they had plenty of options on their menu. Looking forward to returning to try some bao buns!

My new favourite place to eat! The food is delicious and the service fantastic!

Lovely place to sit and talk eat drink BRILLIANT

The food was delicious, and the service was great. My husband, our two boys, and I had a lovely time and truly enjoyed every moment. Thank you!

Good friendly service with a decent menu including vegetarian options. We would certainly return when we're back in the area

We had a lovely evening celebrating our daughter's 21st birthday. A party of 10, the food was excellent, staff were warm and attentive. Great place to visit, would recommend.

Lovely coffee, great atmosphere, nice friendly service.

Fantastic new year's eve. Food was absolutely outstanding, staff so pleasant, friendly and helpful, and the singer Jonathan Green was absolutely brilliant.

We had a fantastic 2024 New Years Eve at East Coast 5. The food was sumptuous, the singer and the disco were great, the staff were lovely and the atmosphere was buzzing. I hope there’s another party at the end of 2025 because me and my friends and family will all be there. By the way, it’s dog friendly even on Newyears Eve 🐕‍🦺❤️👌

Lovely people, amazing service, tasty food!

Had a christmas birthday meal the food was excellent thank you East coast 5 xx

Love this place. Friendly staff. Great atmosphere, lovely food 😋

Went for coffee and cake, very nice, Will go again soon

A really beautiful and friendly place to eat a delicious breakfast, very nice staff, beautifully presented breakfast, the price is also excellent, I recommend it with a clear conscience, you will not be disappointed.🙏

Nice place, very good food we would recommend this establishment and will probably go back next time we are in the area

Fabulous food and a great venue. Just found our new favourite

Always a pleasure to dine here.

Great time with live music and we even had a dance

Great Evening - food really good - staff really helpful and welcoming - live music setting for a great evening

A firm favourite. Excellent food - a really good selection of vegetarian and vegan meals and exceptionally helpful staff. We can't wait to return!

Friendly staff, good food and dog friendly. An asset to the town

A weekend in Walton for my friends birthday and we found this restaurant. We all loved the food and everyone was so nice. Thank you to the gentleman who served us for Jane's special dessert 🍨

Amazing food and great workers. Great restaurant overall.

So welcoming, modern yet traditional atmosphere, relaxed and perfect lunch; it is one of those places you just become a regular

Hospitality and food was great.Much better than every other place.

Beautiful place and lovely hospitality

Had a coffee. I will definitely go again to sample the food. Looked amazing

Great service and amazing food. Cannot wait to go there when they have live music

Didn't realise how big this cafe was. The coffee lounge area is at the front with a counter which gives the impression that it is full when probably there is plenty of space. We went in after walking from Frinton with our puppy and was warmly welcomed. I had the vegetarian Wellington roast 😋 and was asked if I wanted Yorkshire pudding with it as it wasn't vegan. Incidentally the Yorkshire was very nice as was the rest of our meals. The wife had the burger. Also the coffee is good and we'll try the large selection of cakes next time.

Cool place for a function, great coffee, huge bar, tasty food. What more could you want?

Catered for 12 and added a 13th person in on the day. The service was friendly and personal and made you feel welcome. Food was fantastic, realistically priced, and muscles were creamy and full of flavour. Live music set the scene and made the experience very relaxing and enjoyable. Will happily eat here on my next visit to Walton.

Lively and modern place with very beautiful decoration! We had the Tapas to share, everything was very good, the staff was pleasant and professional. The Jazz concert put us in a mood throughout the evening, we we loved it! I highly recommend!

Really rated the service and the food here

Food was excellent and great menu. Decor was well thought and individual. Score lower as service was very slow but service team were working hard and work on the basis this is possibly a one off.

Have visited EC5 on several occasions always good took my family there today food okay staff friendly but waited 50min for food then a further 20 mins for sweet it’s was not that. Busy

Visited for the 2 for 1 cocktails in the afternoon to check the place out and returned for dinner later. Great to find somewhere in Walton that doesn't stop serving food at 6. Friendly service and the mussels were delicious

Went for breakfast yesterday staff were very nice a little disorganised but very pleasant unfortunately the food was not my bread was soggy beans were cold sent it back .the man offered me a fresh breakfast but I had lost interest by then.its not cheap so I would expect a top quality meal. Very dissapointed

Waited 45 minutes for food still didnt come so left

Great lunch, friendly staff, clean and neat !

Finally brought back my favourite super salad. Great food and lovely atmosphere. Highly recommend 👌

Lovely brunch, close to the sea so ideal for a stroll later

I went here as a celiac as they have a large gluten free menu. Unfortunately i was served gluten! I ordered gluten free hummus and pitta bread. During eating my food i noticed my stomach hurt so i asked the staff if it was definitely gluten free and they replied no. By the time they gave me gluten free pitta bread i was in to much agony to eat. Would not recommend as they did not even apologise.

What a find. Fab atmosphere, great food and live music. A gem of a venue. Thx for a wonderful night.

Staff very friendly and efficient. Busy which is great to see for a local restaurant. Quite a choice on the menu

An absolute treat. If you haven’t tried it here you need to go! Such a great place, amazing atmosphere and a banging breakfast 🙌🏻

There were 7 of us and we all ordered something different from the fab menu & the food was amazing. The staff were so friendly & they gave my dog some dog treats. The milkshakes are amazing too. Definitely highly recommend & it’s a shame I don’t live nearer otherwise I would be there every week!

A very relaxing and comfortable place to eat. I enjoyed a great breakfast here, and will return.

Food is delicious.coffee is also amazing best cup I have had for a long time .service amazing.thank you for a special breakfast.

Amazing Place!, very friendly staff, dog friendly place 🐕, went for a day out for my friends birthday 🎂, they went out and beyond to decorate a little victoria sponge cake, absolutely love it and was very impressed, will be back in the future 🤩

Good food and friendly staff, also have an area for dogs if you want to take your furry friends.

Went here for a friends birthday! It was amazing the staff were friendly, their dog friendly, and they even bought out a little cake for my friend! We had a picky eater with us and even she enjoyed what she ate! Absolutely amazing would definitely eat their again! There were 5 of us in total and we spent about £60 amazing price!

Really lovely clean place, friendly staff, fabulous food. Accommodated my assistance dog brilliantly.

On holiday in the next town along, been here twice in 4 days. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff. Food is wonderful. The lunchtime halloumi burger is sublime I could eat it every day! Came back for cocktails which were excellent, piña colada was perfection and 2-4-1 between 3 and 5pm. Definitely will be back for another visit before we leave!

Lovely place live music, only downside for us, no draught beer table very sticky

Well what can I say?? The food and service is absolutely amazing.. the cocktails are also delicious! You will not be disappointed! Thanks see you again.😀

What a brilliant alternative to the standard fish and chips. The fish pie (special) was superb. My wife had the Jack fruit wrap and being vegetarian, she said it was the best she'd had. All in all, with our two grandchildren meals, it was very good value. The meal took a fair time to arrive as a party of 12 came in just before us, but they apologised for the wait.... but it was worth it. Thanks. 👍

I took my family there for Sunday Lunch 19th May, we were all very disappointed it was fathers 86th birthday, his roast wasn't that hot, the batter pudding was burnt and dry to taste where it had made and then reheated, the broccoli stem was hard and the flower yellow, my pasta was very unpleasant with pepper in and the bacon looked liked the roast beef cut up. They served my husband a grown man who ordered a cranberry juice and lemonade in a plastic beaker with a straw, his burger looked OK but the chips were hone made.All in all an expensive meal for very little quality.

Looking for somewhere for lunch, we found this little gem. We had a sausage bap and coffee, and it was delicious, very tasty sausages. Service was good, and the premises were very clean. Dog friendly, too. Highly recommend.

Went here for my sisters birthday celebration, was a lovely atmosphere, lovely staff and had such a great time. The food was amazing! Brought some cakes in to sing happy birthday and they displayed and garnished them beautifully with fruit. Will defiantly be coming again. Thank you!

Love this place friendly and warm feeling and staff are lovely ( so are the cocktails)

Nice place with pretty good food

Never had a warm welcome. A full English is now £18 with no drink. Expensive and the food quality isn’t worth it.

Food was very below average to poor. I ordered the fish and chips, the batter was not crisp, a bit wet, and very light in colour. Paying £17 for it was a rip off! Worst fish and chips I’ve ever had! Asked for mushy peas and was refused. One staff member seemed quite moody when we were ordering. I’m not one for negative reviews really, but this was poor and wouldn’t recommend.

Awful service, took ages to be served, and while waiting, they greeted another customer before serving us. Asked for 3 cakes, that were behind the counter, and 3 milkshakes which took a long time to make. Brought the cakes over, but no drinks. Made the shakes incorrectly which took even longer to be served. Redid the shakes.

Tiny portion for a roast dinner for £16/£17. Less than one roast potato crushed into tiny pieces, 2 ultra thin slices of meat, half a parsnip and a slither of carrot which is unfortunate as the previous few times we’ve been for lunch has been rather nice

Such a delightful place , Aesthetically pleasing, the quality and taste of the food is heavenly, staff are so friendly and competent, I'd definitely recommend if your in the area to try it out ,I went on a Friday evening ,there was live entertainment which was a jazz trio which was such a lovely added extra. Oh let me say i had the fish and chips , try it out I'm sure you won't be disappointed

Excellent coffee, great atmosphere and dog friendly too

Absolutely spot on. Lovely service. Eggs Royale was top whack. Well done everyone 👏

Cosy atmosphere, good food & dog friendly! Enjoyed our visit for lunch today after a walk on the beach!

Food was delicious & menu was varied with plenty of options for breakfast & lunch , a warm atmosphere and fantastic service! Most enjoyable brunch or lunch location with friends or family. A wide selection of pattiserie available also if you wanted a favourite coffee spot!

Very nice clean friendly place. Just popped in for cocktails but will definitely be back to eat next time

We were highly recommended to go for breakfast, what a disappointment, the place was cold, we opted for a breakfast, the streaky bacon had 90% fat, one of my two poached eggs wasn’t cooked properly, the sausage had been deep fried and was greasy, the sourdough toast we asked for had been griddled with olive oil, butter or should I say margarine with salt crystals sprinkled over it came with the toast, it wasn’t till I bit in to realise it was awful, my pot of tea was half filled so only good for one cup of tea, when I complained I just got told”sorry for your experience” no apology or and reduction in price, the whole experience was appalling. It was a complete rip off at £30 for two small breakfasts

An enjoyable lunch, lovely staff and atmosphere. Highly Recommend.

Brilliant quality, perfect timing, always good service!

We arrived to find the vegan breakfast had been removed from the menu. However, the chef accommodated us and we enjoyed a tasty breakfast.

Lovely flavours in the Asian salad. Fish finger sandwich quality. Dime bar cheesecake to die for

Fantastic fish and chips place!

Absolute gem of a place. Excellent food, including large range of gluten free options. Fantastic staff and service. Will be back for sure!

Very nice mini pastries and tasty coffee. The decor and toilets were modern and clean. Would for sure visit again, was very impressed. Great friendly service

This is the most beautiful place in a gorgeous location. Every time I come here I'm treated like royalty. The staff are welcoming and friendly. The food and drink have that extra special something we all deserve ❤️ Live music events are always fantastic with an amazing atmosphere. Highly recommend to all.

Best cafe in Walton by a country mile.

Place was noisey and cold to match the food

A real gem! Just what you want in a family meal on a Sunday afternoon. Really good food, beautifully decorated dining room, friendly service and excellent prices. What more could you ask for?

Lovely food. Friendly staff. EC5 is a good place to eat out for all age groups, and dog friendly as well

Great venue Food/music/atmosphere 10/10

Visited today after a walk from Frinton on Sea. Great food and great coffee. Dog friendly inside and out. Recommended!

Brilliant lunch today. Generous portions. Well cooked food. Calamari, scallops and lamb shank delicious. Great service.

I came here whilst on a family visit, lovely food and service. The only downside was that I had to keep moving my daughter's chair as a lot of the clientele were using mobility scooters and there wasn't really enough room. But had a lovely time

Absolutely lovely Great food and service. Nice vibe

A lovely restaurant which I have visited many times, however today I had a Turkey Christmas dinner at lunchtime and it was absolutely exceptional. Every element was cooked to perfection and presented and served to perfection. The turkey was the best I've ever eaten. There were many different vegetables, all cooked perfectly. It was very generous in size and completely delicious. A superb meal. The icing on the cake was a wonderful singer/guitarist, Tom James, accompanying the meal. Fabulous restaurant with brilliant chefs, lovely waitresses, fantastic ambience. Would highly recommend.

Great find. Very friendly with Great service. Food was delicious and the sausages were real ocal and tasty. There is a kids menu and my Grandson loved it. I had a coffee milkshake (highly recommended) and a chocolate ice cream arrived for my Grandson. We will definitely be coming back, their Christmas menu looks very inviting.

Was brilliant very very dog friendly she got lots of treats and love and the food was great too . Staff were nice too Will be back

Can't say about food didn't eat there

Meant to be the owner no customer service at all complained about food and portion size then he retaliated in a very bad manner I said food was not great at all he laughed in my face was very angry with that and plus me and my friend ended up eating separately as food order came up wrong he then spoke to me in the worst manner ever and he's own mother shouted at him and agreed that I should not pay the bill
