G&T's in Tendring

I was walking from the Naze to Clacton and had spotted G&T on the net so was aiming for breakfast there as it was on the way. I arrived at 11.40 and ordered a black coffee and a menu, when the staff brought my coffee I tried to order but was told they did not take food orders from 11.40-12. I was a bit disappointed but waited and then at 12 the staff took orders for lunch from everyone else including people who arrived after me. On arrival at my table I was told they couldn’t commit to a time when I’d receive my meal. I’m gobsmacked the management can’t cope with a change over from breakfast menu to lunch menu with out refusing service. I paid for my coffee and left very disappointed

They serve the best roast dinners I have ever had in a restaurant/pub, perfect size great price and very friendly helpful staff,will definitely be going again

Fantastic breakfast and service ,great place to eat ,highly recommend

Fast service Staff is nice but are rushing around Food nice I will definitely going back and I do recommend it Food Critic (Private)

Highly recommended for the combination of excellent food and drinks, attentive and friendly staff. Skilled chefs and a fantastic atmosphere. This is what makes G&Ts a very special place for us to visit on a regular basis.

Great service and fantastic food

Accident at front of cafe, partner fell on unsecured area. Balustrade missing from front step. The cafe does not take health and safety seriously. No safety book, manager showed very little concern. When we left cafe a table and chairs had been moved in front of step area.

Had lunch here: scampi and chips, poached cod, sausage ciabatta, garlic bread. Garlic bread wasn’t cooked quite as much as it could have been. This was commented on. All the other food came and was presented nicely, peas could have been hotter. Friendly and attentive staff. Overall nice lunch

Lovely breakfast spot, delicious coffee and yummy food! Would definitely recommend.

Pre book if you can,we have visited many times now.

My family and I had an amazing breakfast here today. The surroundings and atmosphere was calming and welcoming. Our breakfasts were cooked to perfection and the service was perfect. Thank you.

Great food, staff and atmosphere :) 10/10 ⭐

really lovely food and fantastic service, great relaxed atmosphere, busy but never felt rushed, amazing milkshake and the best frappe ever, we will be back

Fabulous place and staff. Food absolutely excellent.

Waited 20 minutes for someone to take my order. A further 35 minutes for my food and cuppa to appear. It took 55 minutes to a cup of Tea. Sausages were cremated. The dog turned his nose up at his. Wouldn't eat it.lol Check that the staff have arrived and "normal service" is in operation. OTHERWISE BE PREPARED TO WAIT AND WAIT AND WAIT ETC

Made to feel welcome, great service with friendly staff and the food delicious😋

Lovely little cafe with indoor and outdoor tables. Nice menu with gluten free options. We just had tea and coffee with cake and scones but they were excellent.

Can't wait to come back, the burgers are divine and sandwiches too. Well worth the price and really great atmosphere. Child friendly with clean bathrooms and changing table Can't wait to come back

Very tasty food and great service.

Great place to stop for coffee and a quick bite

Great tasty food, very friendly staff

Unfortunately, we didn’t have a positive experience myself and my partner ordered our lunch mine was hunters chicken, in the chicken breast was a bone as you can see in the photo. The staff wasn’t helpful and described it as ‘normal’ and ‘natural’ no where on the menu did this confirm may contain bones and the only reason I noticed it because it felt sharp in my mouth. It was offered to take the drinks off the menu however, I didn’t have the problem with the drinks when bill arrived it had a white wine on we didn’t order. No apology, no real resolution just excuses. Wouldn’t recommend.

Visiting G & T’s from Australia. It was late in the afternoon, almost closing time! We had the most delicious scones, jam & clotted cream, made fresh that day! Together with a coffee. Welcoming staff who did not rush us. Highly recommended. many thanks.👍🤪

Lovely place with excellent food!!! 5 star service, helpful and polite. Thank you 🫶

This was our second visit to G&T's and whenever we visit Frinton in the future, we will definitely be going back. The food was excellent and freshly cooked, and the staff were fantastic.

Been a regular customer for years, booked today, on arrival told 15 minute wait for food. There was a 20 minute wait for order to be taken, after a further 20 minutes drinks not arrived, waitress apologised that order lost at which point we left, never to return again

Delightful cafe in Connaught Avenue, serves a delicious English breakfast and excellent coffee. Service first class.

Nice lunch with plenty to choose from. Serviced by friendly staff.

Very nice food staff are good looking forward to having a dinner here one day

We had a delicious roast today at G & T’s. The sirloin of beef melted in our mouths. The portions were very generous and the Yorkshire pudding perfect ( in fact the crispiest and best I have ever tasted) All topped off with friendly efficient service.

my husband had fish and chips very nicely cooked and nicely presented tasty and i had poached cod in wine sauce with new potatoes and broccoli very yummy and service was very friendly and coffee was good too 😊

Whited 22 minutes for our drinks to arrive. Lots of dirt tables. Was knot that busy. Than your food came mine was over cook. No one came to us to see how we were. I did try and call someone. My first time there never going back. And over price

Often visit this lovely place, food always delicious and the milkshakes are amazing. Please go try and have a roast, first time, I had lamb shank with cauliflower cheese side, simply amazing, crunchy roast potatoes and the lamb melted in your mouth and the gravy .. wow! Highly highly recommend and the staff are lovely .

Fantastic place for food staff very friendly and helpful.

I highly recommend this establishment! Atmosphere; staff and food = AAA*! Fresh battered Halloumi, and a chocolate bombe dessert with ice cream. All really lovely. (I visited late summer, but numerous life situations got in the way, hence my very late review.) I hope to return again, when I am able to. Have a Happy New Year, and all the best for 2024!

Had a lovely Christmas afternoon tea, very generous and delicious selection

Really impressed with the food. Best fish finger sarnie you'll find anywhere. Big dishes, good value for money, and attentive, friendly staff. Go!

The atmosphere was nice and nice decor. Lovely staff.

Took quite a while to get served and a long time sorting gluten free out finally enjoyed breakfast

Lovely food it was presented very nicely. Although very busy, staff was very polite and friendly.

Nice breakfast. Lovely and clean. Nice waitingstaff. Pot of tea for two decent size with large china mugs. All good.

Rude manager couldn't tell us if they could accommodate us for nearly 15 minutes dispite several tables being vacant.

Service was awful. Waited 15 minutes to find out if they had a table. Not one of the four staff could work it out. Then the guy at the counter got very snotty. We walked out. Do not recommend.!!!!!

"Absolutely delicious breakfast" "Popped up to G&T's for a lovely breakfast before checkout" 😊 Our guests tell us they enjoyed G&T's before taking a stroll on the beach. Thank you G&T's!

Always a fabulous place to chill. Food and service excellent

Food wine and coffee all excellent good service in and out door dining very well presented all round

Our waiter was great but the food was far from it. Three of our orders contained poached eggs which were done in cling film and overcooked. My Eggs Benedict came on ciabatta which was rock hard. Thankfully they took it off the bill. Not a great experience

We eat here most weekends. Reviews is not usually my thing but I thought I should take the time to do so. Lovely atmosphere, friendly staff and the food is always great and freshly cooked. Catering to my dietary needs is never a problem.

Stopped at G&T’s today. Great staff very friendly and good food.

Really enjoyed our time here. Delicious food. Really friendly staff

What a wonderful place. Staff clearly busy due to number of customers but all were friendly and attentive, the food was excellent and was served quickly and efficiently. The toilet facilities were clean and well stocked, on a busy Sunday morning breakfast time this is as good as it can get anywhere in the UK. The owners/operators should be proud of themselves and their staff. Alex - London.

Very popular cafe at any time of the day, sheltered seating available outside. Staff very friendly. My only gripe is the server placed our lattes down with his fingers around the top of the glass instead of using the handle 😖

I'm sorry to say we had a bad experience here. We got shown to a table and brought menus; it then took ages for someone to take our order and for 2 of us to go and chase someone up. Another couple had the same experience. We then had a couple of staff come out to double check our orders and the couple behind! It took nearly 30 minutes for our food to come out, a wrap and a baguette. The couple behind left and did swear in frustration at a member of staff (which upset him and was unnecessary). However I can understand why it upset the team member, but the frustration felt by the customer has to be understood. In fact quite a few potential customers left and in this difficult time for independent businesses, this surprises me that no-one seemed to care about how the customers feel. The customers need to be looked after and the staff need to be trained and prepared for a busy Saturday afternoon especially as schools break up soon. The welfare of the staff also has to be a priority. We finally got our average food and asked for the bill which was the wrong one! I am hoping that this is a one off and that the kitchen is sorted out. There was a large group to cater for but this shouldn't mean that other customers are left to wait for ages. I don't think I'll visit again but hope others have a better experience!

Staff very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was delicious. Would highly recommend. Thank you

I flew over from the USA to see family back in December and I’m pretty sure this was the place my Dad took me, having a light lunch in a relaxed atmosphere, while having a great catch up, in the town I grew up in, was all I wanted. The food was great and the overall vibe of The restaurant was on point if you really want to be in the moment with your company and relax!

Absolutely stunning food, fantastic service and fabulous Gin & Tonics. This is the best place in the whole of Frinton!!! Amazing

Always stop for coffee when we visit, never had a better one anywhere else. Also have food on occasions and again top quality and fresh Service is great and the owners are.lovwly.

Good place to visit in Frinton on sea..

Been here a few times, food always lovely and staff really friendly. Had the breakfast this time and it didn't dissapoint.

Absolutely beautiful food and impeccable service, thankyou all will always recommend!

Beautiful place all round! Such friendly and welcoming staff and delicious affordable food - it takes ‘cafe’ to the next level 🩷 thank you!

I have come to G&T’s on a handful of occasions now and every time has been lovely. The atmosphere is lovely, the food is so delicious and the staff are all so friendly and attentive. Would highly recommend and will defiantly be returning.

Great place to have an early Sunday breakfast. Good food and friendly service. It gets busy, which is no surprise 😊

We had breakfast for five adults and one child. Both the food and service were excellent. I'd book as it was very popular.

We love G&T's and always make sure we book a table for lunch when visiting Frinton. They always have a great varied menu available with something for everyone - highly recommend the lasagne! Friendly, helpful staff too.

Went on a day trip to Frinton on Sea beach and had a great lunch at G&T Cafe

Had a lovely lunch, staff were friendly will definitely go again. It did take awhile for drinks to arrive.

We had biscoff milkshakes but no taste of biscoff.

Really good breakfast and great staff. Would highly recommend and will be going back.

Visited today with a last minute booking of 5. The host could not have been any more accommodating. We had a lovely lunch, great service, nice settings and very clean facilities. We can’t wait to return!

What a find, such a lovely place. Had a lovely lunch. Good menu and plenty of choice

We did not have a booking and luckily we arrived early enough on a Sunday afternoon and they were able to find us a table. All the staff very friendly and helpful. Made us aware from the start there might be a little wait for food but it did come quicker than we expected. Food was very nice. Great choices on the menu to cater for every taste and size of appetite. We had sandwiches/ baguettes and all very tasty. We could see why it was so popular. Lovely place to go. Will definitely go back again when we are next in Frinton.

We were lucky to get in as we were approaching closing time, but the hot chocolates and service were superb. We shall return!!!!

an amazing place and great food, and staff

What à gem of a place! The sandwiches were lovely, but I was eagerly eyeing up the wonderful looking roast! All done in house! Definitely a return in the diary! And a great cappuccino

Very nice food and efficient friendly service , hope to visit again when in the area

Highly recommended, we'll be back.

First visit. Went for lunch with my sister and was very impressed with the quality and quantity of the food. Lovely place with a lively vibe and nice atmosphere. Can recommend the hand carved ham on wholemeal bread x

We had a great Sunday lunch at G&Ts today. The roast beef was excellent and I was given an extra complimentary Yorshire pudding to wipe the plate!!! They paid such great attention to our 3yr old toddler. We will be returning soon.

Went here for a birthday lunch today. Was lovely! Friendly service and good food. We will be going back again!

The friendliest cafe/restaurant in Frinton, serving freshly made, delicious food.

We both had a lovely lunch at g&t the restaurant we always visit when we are in Frinton.On Monday 16th January our waiters were Ben and Belinda who were both great and couldn't do enough for us and we will definitely be back in the near future for more delicious food and we will be returning.We also spoke to Laura the owner who made time to be attentive to us.

Had a lovely breakfast at G & T's today. Great friendly service, beautiful food. Would thoroughly recommend.

Great food, great atmosphere and good prices. This lovely little cafe is a real gem in Frinton. Well worth a visit. The fish finger sandwich is simply delicious

Always pleasant staff and good food

We went for the NYE dinner the food and service were excellent, great atmosphere and a thoroughly evening.

Met friends at G&T for coffee and cake. Great coffee and delicious cake. Staff are friendly and attentive. Highly recommended.

I have enjoyed the best scrambled eggs in here every time......

We were the last customers in there, late in the afternoon. The young staff were both friendly, polite and professional!

Lovely food, friendly and helpful staff

Well worth a visit and good choice of menu, and a drink if required.

Excellent service,staff very friendly, helpful and polite, been to dine in many times especially the Sunday roast,good value for money

Popped in ,early morning, for a quick coffee to kill some time. Pleasant place but very expensive. £1.75 for a slice of toast!

We had a delicious lunch thank you

We dined in the place was very busy we got the last table people were turned away. Or waited for a table. I recommend you book a table. Staff friendly and help ful. The food was freshly cooked and very tasty. We had fish and chips ans a bacon and mushroom omelette chunky chips and salad.it was 39 95 with a pot of tea for two. You can get beers and have dessert lovley looking cakes but we were full up. I would definitely go back.

Lovely food great service well priced will definitely go there again.

Excellent lunch. We had steak and kidney pudding and beef and ale pie, both dishes were homemade and very tasty. Well worth a visit. Service was good and the staff sociable. Would definitely recommend.

Ok food, (if a bit pricey) but the owner is absolutely awful and treats her staff incredibly badly.

I went here for bottomless bubbles event which was on Saturday 27th august to celebrate my friend completing her degree after 4 years and us all catching up with one friend visiting from Nottingham. The food was Devine and my friend said that the scotch egg was out of this world and that the cheesecake was the best dessert she has ever had and that when she visits again she needs to come back. I had ham gruyer and it was amazing so full of flavour and very generous portion and the roast potatoes were perfect!! Beautifully crisp on the outside and soft and fluffy inside. The bottomless bubbles was definitely bottomless as the waitresses never let your glass become empty. They were very attentive and friendly. The owner even went round every table to see how they were finding the food and if they needed anything. Amazing atmosphere a real good time. Perfect if you want to celebrate or catch up. Would highly recommend and cannot wait to visit again!!

lovely place nice size portions and polite staff and fairly priced very busy place but worth the weight.
