Harry's Bar & Restaurant in Tendring - Phone Number, Reservations, Reviews

We enjoy every visit to Harry’s Bar due to the excellent customer service, great atmosphere and fabulous food. Visited today for lunch and the owner recommended we try the Bao Buns-we were not disappointed! Having eating our way through the menu over the years it was great to try something new and they were just as good as everything else on the menu. Fantastic for anyone looking for something tasty for lunch or a snack and something no where else local offers. Thanks again Harry’s Bar!

Fantastic service and food! The hanging kebab which was incredible and so fresh. Everyone loved their food and the cocktails were a must. The owner made everyone feel so welcome adding a personal touch that won’t be forgotten. So glad we came here, a new frequent for us for sure!

Had a beautiful roast dinner today with a big group of friends, everyone’s meals were perfectly cooked, can’t wait to return.. also Tim, what a guy

This bar and restaurant in Thorpe le Soken has a great ambience and is very clean in all areas. Indoor dining area, bar and outside sun terrace. All of the staff are really friendly and provide great service at the bar and in the restaurant. A varied menu with food freshly prepared to order.

We had a fantastic dinner at Harry's. Thank you to the sous chef, Cerys, who took over for the night and prepared three incredible courses, 'Jackie Whackie' for the great service and Tim for the chat about the food and restaurant.. we will absolutely be back when we're in the area.

Amazing! Last minute with a visiting family member, it was fabulous, the atmosphere, the staff, and the food were just amazing, Will definitely return, thank you Harry!

We recently dined at Harry' Bar and reasturant. We had an excellent experience, the atmosphere was warm and inviting and the menu offered a wide array of dishes. Our waiter, Jack, was truly outstanding. He was very attentive, friendly and genuinely enthusiastic about the menu. Jack recommend the special 10 oz ribeye steak offer, which did not dissapoint. The food was suburb, both dishes were beautifully presented and bursting with flavour. Overall, was a lovely night out. We where staying at Lifehouse spa, down the road and thought we would try here after seeing the reviews. Thank you to everyone working at Harry's for a wonderful time. We will definitely visit again.

Just had the most amazing rib eye steak followed by Banoffee cheesecake . Absolutely insane all of it - definitely coming back on a Monday night . Impeccable service with a smile too -thank you Harry’s bar -Paris / Tim and Ceris xx

Absolutely amazing Monday Steak Night at Harry’s Bar tonight! Steak cooked exactly as requested, great accompaniments and service, as always, was friendly and prompt. Can’t believe the value of a rib eye steak with all the trimmings AND a drink of your choice for less than £25. No corners cut - lovely meal x

Harry's Bar offers an exceptional dining experience, highlighted by their sensational roast that leaves a lasting impression. The atmosphere is both friendly and modern, making it a perfect spot for a relaxed yet stylish outing. The standout feature, however, is the impeccable customer service provided by Tim and Paris. Their attention to detail and genuine care for guests elevate the entire experience. Whether you're there for a casual meal or a special occasion, Harry's Bar ensures a memorable visit.

What absolutely Iovely people. Food was delicious and service spot on, sat on the terrace that was spotless and comfy. Good choices on menu.

Food was amazing. Roast platter was incredible with so much food. The cauliflower cheese is a must. The biscoff cheesecake is also a must. The drinks/cocktails are amazing. Definitely coming back soon.

I have been coming to Harry’s for many years and whilst the roast dinner has always been amazing today’s experience was another level! I have never enjoyed a roast dinner so much. From the quality of the meat to the addictive cauliflower cheese! Service was exceptional and today’s visit has made my Sunday.

Great Sunday roast, we had roast beef and cauliflower cheese as an extra. Absolutely delicious. The sharing roast also looked amazing! Service was great, wine and atmosphere perfect. Thank you 🤩

Family treated me to a meal out for my up and coming 40th birthday! We had a Banging roast 💪🏽! The service was exceptional and the atmosphere was great!

Went for a roast today (31st march) with family! There was 5 of us and we ordered 2 roast sharing boards plus cauliflower cheese! The boards arrived full of chicken, lamb and beef, roast potatoes and amazing homemade Yorkshire puddings, sharing boards come with mixed vegetables and jugs of gravy! There was plenty of food to the point we took away a doggy bag for the family dog haha! Great atmosphere, salsa music vibe going on! Staff very polite, attentive and friendly!

Highly recommend ….. Sirloin of beef as a roast, seasonal veg, good wines delicious deserts Tim & his staff are excellent hosts, every time myself & hubby are visiting this is our place of choice

As a local resident & frequent visitor, the greeting, service & food is in my opinion is 5 star, I always bring my friends & family and never disappointed once again Tim you smashed it

Another fine dining experience at Harry’s, great food, great company, had the most amazing day, great job guys, well done.

Amazing food every single visit! Never any issues, friendly and accommodating staff. Great atmosphere - just solid good quality food!

Lovely lunch with a friend, chose a few items from the light bites / lunch menu. No picture sadly as we couldn't wait to tuck in. Food as always was absolutely perfect, as was the service!

Had the most amazing celery and Stilton pate, and pork belly bites! Customer service was above and beyond, Highly recommended, will definitely be going back.

Wow.popped in at lunchtime and was blown away by the quality of food.great quality and very reasonably priced.i would recommend the jack daniels rack of ribs..the coleslaw is to die for.great friendly service and a lovely atmosphere in the restaurant. Highly recommend.

My wife and myself had the lamb for our main meal,my wife normally will not have lamb as she likes it well done which is hard to get the chiefs to do, not the case here you can have it as you like it.Absolutely lovely...

Amazing lunch as always! Excellent service from the owner Tim and his team. The lunch menu is great value. The decor and layout of the bar is so welcoming, will definitely be returning! Amazing selection of drinks, great value for money!

Perfect food and service, recommend coming here for a lovely dinner date. Had the steak and was beautiful recommend getting and the pornstar😍

To all the staff at Harry's from start to finish flawless and service was outstanding food as well worth the money. Nice and hot and serve well. Great place to go lovely people lovely atmosphere cannot fault. Nothing about Harry's on the bar staff to...

Went for a Sunday roast today and the food is amazing! Best roast dinner we’ve had out in a long time and the roast potatoes were unreal! Great for families, brilliant options for my 3 year old and the staff were all so attentive. Highly...

We hadthe hanging kebab & ribs both were perfect, great service too from paris. Cocktails were unreal, thank you for a lovely meal.

Lovely restaurant, food was amazingg and delicious as were the cocktails. Highly recommend it. Staff were really friendly. Will definitely come again.

Stayed at lifehouse spa and decided to venture out for dinner. Lovely food and fab service. We’ll definitely be returning when back in the area and highly recommend.

Took my kids for a bit of lunch while on half term, The lunch menu was perfect and such good value. I love this place, such a great atmosphere and everyone is so friendly. Cannot recommend this restaurant enough.

Lovely catch up with my girlfriend x great service great food thw music was spot on I must say the cocktails were fantastic

Beautiful Sunday with the family had a stunning gammon roast , pasta of the day and the chicken mini sliders with chips Would definitely recommend this stunning restaurant with the most lovely staff Will definitely be back

Beautiful food and great atmosphere, great location on the high-street just a few minutes from Lifehouse Spa. Great cocktails.

Fast becoming one of my favourite places. We came here on Valentine’s Day, and it was fantastic. Great atmosphere, the staff were very welcoming and friendly. Had dinner there again since, and we look forward to trying out the rest of the menu

The food was terrible. My seabass was overcooked and my potatoes were undercooked. There was barely any lamb on my partners lamb shish and the vegetables were dry.

What a fabulous place, fabulous food and really lovely staff & service five star. And to top the evening it the music was spot on :). Definitely will be returning & highly recommend it for a great evening. Karen & Paul

This is the second time that we have visited Harry’s Bar and it certainly won’t be our last. Our waiter Luke was spot on throughout the whole evening. We didn’t have to wait for him and he was knowledgeable about the dishes on offer and the specials. We went with his recommendations and was happy that we did. We shared the Asian platter and the taste was amazing. I had the rib eye steak with peppercorn sauce and my partner had the beef wellington. We both thought the food was delicious and the service was excellent. This will definitely be our new first choice Of restaurant and couldn’t fault it at all. Luke your a great waiter, very friendly and helpful.

I arranged lunch here for family to celebrate my mums 90th birthday. Food was excellent and the Sunday Roast was impressively presented and generous. Best of all though was the atmosphere and the magnificent service by the staff. They organised the whole restaurant in a round of Happy Birthday and couldn’t have been more attentive. Thank you to all the fellow diners and a huge thank you to the staff, brilliant.

After staying at the spa locally we decided to go to Harry's bar for a late lunch/early dinner. It was fab, will definitely be going back.

Had a lovely lunch today with friends and my husband, three of us had the hanging kebab which was really tasty, there was plenty it comes with two sides we chose salad and chips/sweet potato fries/skinny fries, the meze board was very good too.Staff were very helpful and jolly, we will certainly be going back there.

Came here with friends and had such a great time! Staff were so friendly, food is amazing and the playlist is great and suits everyone! 100% recommend and will be coming back here a LOT!😍

Great service, friendly staff, good quality food and reasonable prices! Also has great music playing throughout- will definitely be returning

Come for a Tuesday night dinner and had great food, great service, great atmosphere and music. So good we have planned to come the next day for dinner again.

My visit to Harry’s started off on the right foot with an amazing welcome from Nathan as soon as I walked through the door. This was followed by outstanding food and a relaxing afternoon, made so much better by great service from all staff. I do have to give Nathan a second mention as he was so attentive and never stopped smiling

went to Harry’s for the second time yesterday with my family and wasn’t disappointed! the hanging kebab was delicious and my mum had sea bass which was mouth watering,the service was very attentive and the whole vibe was relaxing and chilled,overall our visit won’t be the last , well done the harrys team

We went here a couple of weeks ago to try it out as we were moving to the village and I have to say very let down everything covered in pesto to the point nothing else had any flavour service slow and the lamb kabab was tough and again covered in to much such a shame as the setting is lovely

Beautiful experience. Sat outside with my mum for a pre birthday lunch. The service was amazing, food was beautiful and so well presented. Portions sizes are very good and filing. We were very surprised by the prices as well for what we were receiving it is very well priced. Emma and Mark were very friendly and polite and we didn’t at all feel rushed.Will definitely return again.

Excellent service in addition to fantastic food. Beyond our expectations, will certainly return.....

Absolute gem of a find! What can I say other than wow!?The service was amazing, couldn’t fault Tim, Mark and the waiting staff at all as to how attentive they were. Superb selection of drinks and a lovely terrace for when it’s sunny. The music and atmosphere is lovely as well as the decor.Now on to the best part, the food. We had the hanging kebabs and the steak burger along with some sides and this is better than any restaurant I’ve eaten in within the Essex area. We’ll be travelling from Kent to eat here a lot more often. Thank you all for such a lovely day.

We visited for the first time as we are new to the area and couldn’t fault a single thing.We had 3 tables booked for the family and food, service and atmosphere were all amazing.We haven’t been out as a family due to covid restrictions and all felt very safe with the rules etc in place.My daughter is celiac and the staff and chef were brilliant even though I didn’t phone a head to let them know.I had best Sunday lunch I have ever had out and we will be back soon and regulars! Xx

Lovely meal at harrys bar today... couldn’t fault it, Tim and Mark both couldnt do enough for us, great atmosphere great music, really enjoyed our afternoon. Thanks guys.

We didn’t think we’d get in at first but after the owner had said they were full, he came after us to say we could come and eat. It didn’t disappoint! The food was divine, well cooked and lots of sauce (winner), lovely atmosphere and staff. We’d go again for sure!

Managed to get a lunch booking at Harry's. Must say, we were pleasantly surprised, having never been before. Sitting outside due to Covid restrictions did not stop us from enjoying our lunch, albeit a little chilly in the shade still!Tim is very personable, attentive and friendly. The music was ideal and suited all ages. Hubby enquired about Teddy Prendergast and next thing, Tim had found it and played it for him! Amazing. Food was absolutely delicious. One of the nicest lunches we have had for a while. Hubby had the chicken skewer, salad and skinny fires. Presented elegantly and generous portions. I had the chicken satay, which is a starter, but was ideal for lunch (borrowed a few of hubby's chips)! A great atmosphere for a lunch, so much so that we will be returning for a Sunday lunch and an evening visit in the next few weeks.You need to book guys, but make sure you do. This place is great!

Fantastic night , fabulous atmosphere and the food was superb well served beautifully cooked and served by attentive team. The owner Tim is of West End standards , great fun very attentive and makes the whole place run like clockwork. Can’t recommend it enough - back soon.

It was a perfect visit, the staff was amazing and Tim was an incredible host! The food was on another level and the atmosphere was great! Couldn’t of had a better time and the music playing just added to everything. We’re definitely coming back again next week!

Great restaurant, excellent food, attentive staff, lovely terrace garden, fantastic playlist .... what more could you ask for? ..... not sure what his name is?

I had the pork and chicken pate to start and the cod wrapped in parma ham with cream cheese for main and both were so good! Service was brilliant and a great atmosphere. Safe covid-19 procedures and overall an enjoyable evening sitting outside. Thank you for a lovely evening Harry's, I'll be back!

Visited Harry’s last night for the first time and it did not disappoint. The food was great, cocktails were very more-ish and the staff really made you feel at home. Will definitely visit again soon.

Visited here in December, atmosphere was amazing. service was impeccable. Enjoyed myself immensely, can't fault the place. Food was delicious. Recommend to anyone in the local areas.

Bloody brilliant place, lovely owner good service and would highly recommend brilliant tunes whilst you eat lush food and drink sweet wine good time, highlllyyyyy recommend 10/10

Such a lovely evening, the food was great, the staff were amazing and so attentive as always. Even though we are about to go into another lockdown, spirits were high , all guide lines covered and it made my night. Thank you Harry’s, we will be back soon xxxxx

On spur of moment we stopped at Harry's for lunch as a treat prior lock down.Liked the decor comfortable,spacious and very clean.Liked the menu , I chose the firecracker chicken my wife chose the sea bass.We chose a chenin blanc wine very reasonably priced and very nice.Food arrived it was well presented and exceptionally good.Will definitely return can highly recommend.

Visited Harry’s this weekend. Food, wine, atmosphere & service were absolutely 5*! We had a table outside due to restrictions and were every bit as comfortable as we’d be inside.Despite the cold and drizzly weather we were toastie undercover and by the outdoor heaters. Every plate in the menu was appealing and could happily have chosen anything from it.The food from start to finish was beautifully presented and cooked.Thank you so much to Tim and Mark for looking after us so well. We had a perfect evening

We visited the restaurant from a nearby hotel and were glad we came across it, from the fresh tasting food, delicious wine and friendly owner what’s not to like! We’d definitely come back here!

Was recommended Harry's by friends as was staying at the nearby Lifehouse Spa for the weekend. Staff were incredibly welcoming from start to finish and the food was gorgeous! They even kindly organised a taxi for us as we wasn't from the area. Really glad we made time to visit and will definitely recommend to others.

Went to Harry's bar today 25/10/20 for family roast. Food fantastic...atmosphere great.. sit and chill relaxing atmosphere ..would highly recommend a visit..will definitely be returning

Had a lovely meal with my Husband, we were served by the owners Son who i believe was his first night serving, he was so lovely and had good banter and was very attentive. Really enjoyed our meal and the ambience was great, will definitely be back. First class service and food.

Amazing atmosphere with amazing staff and service. The kebab and lamb rump were fantastic!! Can’t wait to go back for a night out with the girls!

Went with a friend for food and had the chicken buttermilk burger and my friend had the chicken hanging kebab skewer both loved our meal and service was on point. Would definitely eat there again and recommend. Tims service was excellent too.

Had a great lunch here on Thursday afternoon at Harry's. Tagiltelle was spot on. Keep this place going the food is pucker. Go and visit !!

Lovely food and friendly staff. There was a good atmosphere in the resturant. The sunday roast was good value.

It was mine and my partners first time in frinton on sea and so we decided to go to Harry’s Bar and Resturant .We was not disappointed. The tapas was excellent and the best tapas we have had in the UK. The owner made us feel so welcome . Thank you Tim . We will be back soon ..

Went with some friends and have to say a sensational meal ! COVID measures are on point not to overbearing. Chloe and Tim were amazing and couldn’t do enough for us ! Everything we asked for was effortless and no trouble! Thank you Harry’s Bar we will be back !

This is truly the best restaurant in the area, we went on the night they premiered their new menu which for us didn’t disappoint! The staff were polite and attentive, food was fresh and well cooked and the menu was extensive and small many options for vegetarians and meat eaters. Atmosphere was bustling and warm. We were staying in life house and couldn’t get a taxi so the Manager kindly dropped us back, really goes above and beyond for customer service! A fair price for a 3 course meal, cocktails and two bottles of wine! Thank for a lovely night, the team are a credit to you!

After having a great time on many occasions in Harry’s we went for a family meal on sat night , we wasn’t dissapointed, the service from the start was on point, the ribs and hanging skewers were delicious, then came the sticky toffee pudding, mouth watering!! We finished the meal off with tasty cocktails, once again Harry’s have us a wonderful night under these hard circumstances, well done the team at harrys

Very easy to book online, my partner and I both had lovely meals which came out in good time. The staff were really friendly and followed Covid-19 regulations very well, we didn't feel unsafe at all and all the customers were following the guidelines.

Had a fantastic meal at Harry’s bar. The Shish kebab was amazing and Luke you were great. Fantastic service and atmosphere. Would highly recommend 👍👍

The tables were far too close. No one to police the wearing of masks on entering. Waiter had mask over mouth and chin but not nose.People leaving tables without masks.

Been to harry’s a few times for an evening meal so decided to try a sunday lunch that was recommended to us by tim. WOW!!! I was presented with a masterpiece of meat, roast potatoes and seasonal veg which was absolutely delicious! Will recommend to anyone passing through! Well done harry’s, see you again next sunday!!

When I came into the restaurant the staff was very friendly and the service was great. Visited with some friends and enjoyed the selection of cocktails. The food was delicious. Cannot recommend this place enough

no social distancing between tables or between people. Service atrocious. Food took nearly an hour to arrive at the table and after giving the bill we waited atleast 15mins for the card machine, had to ask the waitress to bring it to us and she completely ignored us so had to get the waiters attention and even then he took his time. Do not recommend this place.

What a night! 23 people, we booked ahead and pre ordered. The food was so good. The staff couldn’t have been more attentive. I had the bruschetta, the vegan parcel and the lemon tarte. Each course was delicious. I didn’t even have room for my dessert but couldn’t stop eating it! The music was nice and fitted the atmosphere. Can it fault a single thing. Can’t wait to go back for my birthday

We always enjoy our visits to Harry’s. Staff are always friendly and attentive. The food was delicious and is all reasonably priced. Thanks to Luke who served us on the day!

It's not often you visit a place and all the staff are on point. I always really enjoy Harry's it's one of my favourite local spots but this visit was made extra special by Luke. I visited the website to book my socially distanced table to find no space available. A call to the restaurant direct and Luke couldnt have been more accommodating. Both my partner and I wanted tapas and it's the only venue in the area that offers this style of eating - it was all beautiful and well presented. Thank you to all the staff who all went over and above to make it such a lovely evening. We will see you again soon.

Me and my husband stayed in a hotel near by and wanted to try something different as the hotel had limited options! We found Harry’s bar and restaurant on Tripadvisor and decided to try it out. It was very easy to book online and on arrival, we were welcomed by very friendly staff. The young lady who looked after us even made me a drink from scratch and it was lovely. We then ordered our meals and had the manager check on us and make sure we were happy! I had the sea base which hit the spot! Was our best couples night in a long time.. the music, the food, the service.. the owner, Harry! I hope he reads this, we will be back. Thank you ❤️

Really like Harry’s bar, the food is always great. Would definitely recommend. Only qualm is the service - once you’ve ordered your initial drinks and food we always find it hard to get waiters attention to order additional drinks. Even when management has changed hands it always seems to be an issue as the staff seem to congregate in the bar area....only reason I cannot rate it 5 stars.

Our first visit back to Harry’s since the new ownership and we were thoroughly impressed. Food was fresh, delicious, cooked perfectly and well presented. The skate special was amazing, freshly caught and huge! Service was good, staff were readily available to reorder drinks and to make sure we had everything we needed. Harry’s keep doing what you’re doing, highly recommend!

We had a nice meal but service was so slow. Very disappointing as had been before and had a very different experience.

We were staying at the lifehouse spa but wandered to Harry's Bar after seeing some great views. It didn't dissapount and infact exceeded expectations.. We had some great tapes food, a lovelly Pravha and was very well looked after.If we're ever in the area we would definitely go back....

Went to Harry’s last night with friends for dinner. The staff was so attentive and the owner Tim was really on point to make sure our evening was perfect, the hanging shish was excellent and the steaks so succulent!! Then the cocktails came “ oh my god”... they are so good!! Alll in all a fantastic night.. Harry’s is spot on , going back for Sunday lunch.

Sunday drive through. Must admit went to another but no food - advised Harry’s bar. What a choice. Sunday roast beef delicious. Fresh cooked and I’m a stickler for proper roasties and gravy. Even Yorkshire home made. Staff excellent welcoming and accommodating . Defo beback

Me and my wife moved to the village in March a week before lockdown so have had to wait to get out and explore what the village has to offer. Harry's was well worth the wait. The staff are friendly, attentive and the food is amazing especially the hanging kebabs. They have a cocktail menu too which is something different to the other establishments on the high street I believe. The food prices are on par with the rose and crown if not cheaper and much tastier and presentation is 10/10.

We visited here last evening ....given the current situation with the horrible virus we were not surprised it seem a lot less busy than you would expect for a Saturday.The place is really nice and the staff are very welcoming, the food and service was really good, and I am pleased to say for the owners, a few more people decided to venture out, overall a very good experience and we would definitely go back again.

FANTASTIC! What can I say!! The food was amazing, the staff are so attentive and the vibe is cosy, fun and sophisticated. Great music playing too!! One of the best bits about Harry’s is the owner cares about your opinion as a customer. Can’t fault Harry’s in any way, come here for a great night :) well done guys, you’ve got this!P.s if you like lemon...try the tart!!!!! :)

Came in for lunch today for the first time since Harry's has changed ownership, and wow, what a great experience! Quiet but lovely atmosphere. Menu has a great variety of options to suit every palate, as well as a separate lunch menu of sandwiches / smaller bites for those wanting a lighter meal. Service was excellent, super friendly and on-the-ball. The women who served us were a pleasure to talk to! Food came out in good time and was very nice indeed. Scallops were excellent, buttery and not at all tough. Asparagus with a poached egg was also very good, the egg perfectly runny. Both very fresh tasting and the perfect portion for a starter.Mains were even better! Sea bass came with rice noodles and pak choi in an Asian style broth. The fish skin was beautifully crisp, full of flavour -- the noodles and vegetables an ideal accompaniment. But the star was the hanging kebab! We went for the combination of chicken and lamb. Both were delicious, the lamb especially so. I've had plenty of dried out kebabs, but these were perfect -- charred on the outside, tender inside. Even the roast vegetables were excellent! You can choose two sides to go alongside the kebab, and the spicy rice was a stand-out. A very generous portion with excellent flavour.Harry's has a huge range of cocktails and liquers, but we enjoyed a fabulous bottle of Suavignon Blanc from New Zealand; and our Americanos were equally good to finish our leisurely lunch. Altogether this was an excellent experience, very relaxed but professional service in a lovely environment. Hope to return very soon, with more people in tow!

Had a delightful stop over at this trendy Gastropub on our way from visiting a family member in Kirby on our way back to Hertfordshire.We accompanied family that suggested this place to eat and we were not disappointed the restaurant was crowded with a great ambience and the staff could not do enough to make sure that the diners were attended to efficiently even when my wife had some sauce spilt on her shoe the staff were there to save the day. The food is of good quality and hot when it comes out and the staff are always on hand to offer up the condiments and will ask if your meal is ok.Overall Harry’s bar is a good place to visit and the staff will look after your needs for the period you are there with good food and attentive staff and good ambiance.
