Harry's Bar & Restaurant, Thorpe-le-Soken in Tendring

used Harry's bar for dinner when we stayed at the spa nearby great food

Excellent food and good attentive service. Car park adequate if you get there early

Absolutely brilliant service! Food was lush, staff are all so friendly and can have a good laugh! Great size portions for the money and cocktails are lush!! 100% recommend and will be back!

Me and my friend really loved this place! Amazing food, just wish i lived closer to come again!! Definitely recommend.

Very impressed. There's parking around the back. The restaurant is clean and modern. There's lots of food options. The food came out, my chicken burger was huge and tasted great. Super impressed and would highly recommend.

Amazing food fantastic staff as always

We had a lovely weekday meal on the decking in the evening, sun going down. Pan fried haddock and large, flat, delicious chips was excellent. Best large glass of rose for the price, perfectly chilled and flavoursome. We'll go again.

Fantastic food so fresh great service polite and funny, clean and well priced,5stars!!

We arrived without making a reservation but we still managed to get a table. It became apparent that they only had one person working front of house and he never stopped. Flying between the bar, the kitchin and the dining area. It seemed to get busier after we sat down too, but he just kept going! We did have to wait a bit to place our order, but seeing as there was only one person covering the whole place, it wasn't even that bad and it was all worth the wait. The food was exceptional. We couldn't find a single fault with any of it. The cocktails were top notch too. Special commendation to Jack who worked tirelessly the whole time we were there.

Very nice food highly recommended 👌

Food, service, atmosphere 10 out of 10... I had the best fish and chips I have ever had. My other half had a burger.. You could taste how chared it was.. Amazing food, drink and place.

Fantastic service and amazing food 👌

Really nice place, with excellent service. Thanks for another great visit .

Visited on a Monday and sat outside. Food was delicious and the owner was great to chat to. Will definitely be returning.

Such a gem within the town. Food was great and very welcoming staff. :)

We had a great night here tonight. First time visitors and made to feel really welcome as soon as we entered. Drinks were cold and perfect on a sunny day, food was fantastic (Steak burger and fries) and the service from the staff was excellent. Such a great place, We will certainly be visiting again soon. Thank you

Amazing food and service really nice atmosphere the steak was on another level definitely a good date night location I would highly recommend and will be back soon

Food and service were excellent. Nice start to a spa break at lifehouse

Been going here for years now and never had a single issue. Tim and his team are first class and go above and beyond for everyone. Truly a gem.

Booked for private function. Faultless in every way. This allows the party to take centre stage. Well done Harry's Bar.

I’ve been to Harry’s a few times. Food and service always amazing. This time the owner, Tim, came and chatted with me and it was so lovely that he took the time to do that. Also met one of the chefs and had amazing service by the waitress. This is a lovely place, they not only serve amazing food but truly go the extra mile to make sure their customers are well looked after. I can’t recommend Harry’s highly enough. They also serve amazing lychee Martinis!

The ONLY restaurant we will visit when in the area! Welcomed in everytime, amazing ribs, beautiful cocktails, top quality customer service. Good vibes, gives us Ibiza feels. It's like returning to good friends whenever we visit. Highly recommend.

We had an evening meal on Saturday. It was delicious and it was a great atmosphere in the restaurant. Great staff and food.

Great food! My partner had the ribs with sweet potato fries, he said they were both excellent and the best he’d had in a long time. I had the lamb Shish , the hand cut chunky chips and coleslaw, all were delicious. Our waiter Jack was very helpful, attentive and friendly as was the manager Tim. Relaxed atmosphere, great background music, would highly recommend, in fact, going back this evening as well as staying at the local spa retreat.

Nice place good good good atmosphere

What a fabulous gem nice cooking the bar first then a delicious meal and the staff were amazing seriously made our wkend will be returning 👍

We went over to Harry's for a Sunday lunch. Can't fault the food, absolutely delicious! Would like say a big thank you to all the girls and management for a quick service, compliments to the chef for the excellent meal! All staff so very polite and professional. Will definitely be returning

Absolutely superb!!! Without a doubt the best steak burger and sirloin steak we have ever had. The meat is top quality and the taste reflects that. Amazing decor and atmosphere and Harry went above and beyond. Will return for sure.

We had a really lovely meal and drinks Saturday night x. Food is first class and service x. Ribs are brilliant 👏 😋 👌

Lovely restaurant. Food spot on. Great vibe and customer service excellent.

Lovely bar and restaurant! Wonderful service.. Made my mum feel very special on her birthday 🎈! Thank you 🤩

Great food and service but very noisy lots off people shouting, for no reason.

The lights in the restaurant where too bright which didn't help the atmosphere

A very nice , modern restaurant/pub with great food and very good friendly service. The music was great also and the sharing genre toilet was a surprise!

Reassuringly expensive and superb ...we had belly of pork ...best I've eaten ...5 * dinning at 4* prices love this place

We celebrated my dads 80th birthday at Harry’s. Lovely place and food was spot on. All staff are very friendly and welcoming. Thank you for an amazing evening.

We had a really nice dinner recently. The food was very well cooked and very tasty.

Je verwacht het niet, maar super eten en een uitstekende kaart. Erg genoten!

Whenever we are near Thorpe le Soken we go to Harry’s and are never disappointed. Great food, service, and friendly staff. Just had another visit and it won’t be our last.

You’ll not find a better atmosphere or service! The food is gorgeous and it is run by the loveliest people. A hidden gem!

Despite being busy, they managed to squeeze us in for food. It was beautiful. Lovely drinks and very friendly service. Will be back

This place is a hidden gem in the countryside. I was there with friends for a 60th birthday celebrations. We arrived and was seated. Lovely setting in the village high street. We were staying nearby at the Lifehouse Spa & Hotel. 5 mins away. We were looked after by Tim, Harry's dad. Lovely staff and the food was fine e dining standard. Presented well and delicious. We had a lovely chat with Tim and he gave us a complimentary bottle of prosecco to add to our celebrations. If you are ever staying at the spa hotel you must also visit Harry's Bar and Restaurant. Highly recommend it and hope I'll have the chance to visit again.

Fresh amazing food, nice atmosphere. Cocktails to die for and to top it off the service is great and friendly. Feel like I'm home

Been here lots of times. Never been disappointed. Lunched here Saturday with my daughter. The food was delicious and the service excellent. Thanks Tim.

Delicious hanging shish with your choice of 2 sides. Absolutely fabulous 👌 We had booked and sat inside to eat before moving outside for the rest of the evening. Thoroughly enjoyed our evening.

Had a lovely meal Definitely recommend this restaurant

My partner and I have just had another fabulous lunch at Harry's bar in Thorpe le Soken.. both our meals were cooked and presented with perfection 😋 Would highly recommend to anyone looking for great food, friendly staff and a great place to relax.. lovely outdoor space to chill with drinks in the sun.. Sue and Clive.

Lovely meal at Harry’s for my wife’s birthday. Ribs were delicious and the lamb was so well cooked! If your staying at the LifeHouse spa like we were, this is definitely worth the 2 minute cab journey. Thank you Tim and the staff for a wonderful evening

Me and my gf had a wonderful time here and the food is really out of this world. Absolutely delicious

Tim and staff always very welcoming and attentive.Enjoyed the roast beef dinner which was delicious huge batter puddings couldn't manage dessert on this occasion. Really nice fibe about the place will definetly visit again.

Had such a lovely evening with my husband for dinner. We both had mains and pudding. The food was delicious and portions were generous. I had some cocktails. The atmosphere was great, it did get loud as it got busy but was still nice. The staff were all lovely and we enjoyed our evening. Will defo go back.

Little birthday treat. Food was great, service was excellent. Definitely would go back.

Didnt get to ordering stage manager very rude

Very nice food. Good Sunday Roast.

Great food, lovely atmosphere can’t wait to go back.

Best Sunday roast I’ve had in Essex! Really good service, bar staff were friendly and made great cocktails. Will definitely be returning to Harry’s!

First time at Harry's bar, and I couldn't fault it. The food was great and the service top notch.

Great food and good place to hang around for a drink

Lovely place, great food and service.

Great and plentiful food. Friendly and intuative service. Visited from London. Recommended.

Good food good service, will return. All round a good evening.

Cena di famiglia di 13 persone. Servizio impeccabile. Ottimo cibo e vini stranieri dall'Australia a l'Italia. Cibi tipicamente inglesi con una leggera e piacevole rivisitazione. Fortemente consigliato.

Lovely restaurant, staff & food

Excellent bar,very friendly and a great array of drinks, definitely a place to go

Absolutely amazing food!! Will.mpst definitely be returning to try the famous roasts 😋😍

First time we ate there we went for the Sunday roast. it was very good value for money the veg was fresh the roasties were delicious. we found the lamb a bit chewy but over all very good. the staff were very pleasant and helpful.well done everyone 😀.and the Yorkshire pudding was to die for.

Great value, generous portions, lovely staff and service.

Really great food, just walking past spoke to the owner and had an amazing lunch. Staff were very polite and friendly. I would definitely recommend this place to eat and have a few drinks.

Hands down the best steak I’ve had in months! Good service and well presented restaurant

Absolutely awful experience. Possibly the rudest staff I have encountered. The food was inedible - reheated frozen food is a compliment. Don’t waste your time or money!

Fantastic BAR & RESTAURANT! Great 😊 services, their staff were very polite and efficient. We had the PAN FRIED LAMB RUMP and JACK DANIELS RACK OF RIBS, so succulent 😋 and GENEROUS portions 🙌🏾. Special mention to LILY, who served us tonight 👌🏾

It was extremely delicious! The staff was really nice

Possibly the BEST calamari on sale in Essex plus, awesome staff and the perfect outside space for summer. You have to try this place.

Been a few times recently to Harry's with friends , always excellent food and good atmosphere in the bar - recommended

Average pub food at expensive restaurant prices, and very slow service. This was not a wholly bad experience… BUT, if you are going to have a fancy written menu and expensive prices, your service and food needs to match, otherwise you are setting yourself up for a poor critic. For example, the “Line caught cod loin” was bog-standard fish and chips. While the chips were nice, the fish had a mysterious yellow greasy residue between the batter and the fish which made it inedible. The ‘Jack Daniels rack of ribs was good, although the Cajun halloumi burger was overcooked and dry. Almost an hour and half for our main course to arrive and another extended wait for desert despite the restaurant being empty by this time. The waitress was willing, although had limited knowledge of the menu. So much room for improvement… and really not good enough to entice me to return anytime soon.

Outstanding fantastic food excellent staff

Perfect atmosphere to dine, relax and enjoy the sunshine, food is outstanding everytime, highly recommend!

Very very expensive , we went on a Sunday lunch time . Only 2 tables was in I will not re visit or recommend

Very good food and friendly staff

Lovely place for a meal. Very good service, food was excellent.

Fabulous Sunday lunch for our party of 8...Tim the owner went above and beyond...food outstanding...atmosphere great...staff very well informed..would highly recommend

Excellent food,service and ambience.

One of the best meals I’ve ever had, ribs were 10x better than the likes of TGI Fridays! Highly recommend this place!

Great service! Especially from the manager. He’s always really welcoming. Food is always on point! Fave is the lamb!!

Food was very average & service not great. It took us nearly three hours for a starter & main. We did find it quite funny watching the waiter with the man-bun trying to discretely supply his own produce to hungry locals 🤪

A great meal, with superb service in a lovely setting. The The dish was recommended by the owner and it didn’t disappoint.

Nicely presented food- but very expensive for the little that there was....was still hungry when I had finished main course....and stated this to waitress.

Highly recommended for the variety, options, freshly cooked to order food and huge range of gluten free options. We really enjoyed our visit

Very nice bar. Staff was very friendly. Drinks was at a good price. The atmosphere was great. Met some very nice people in this bar. Decor was nice.

Superb food. Excellent service and the owner Tim is incredibly friendly and welcoming. If you are looking for an excellent place to eat and relax with friends then look no further. I guarantee you will not be disappointed

Slow service, waitresses and waitors huddled around chatting. Forgot drinks. Meat was tough and veg was raw

Food, service, ambience was all first class.

Great evening, we pre booked party of 26 and the night was so well run. Food was amazing great experience from start to finish. Big thank you to all at Harry’s bar from Weeley fire station 🚒
