Smugglerscove in Tendring

Fantastic fish and chips - we ordered and paid online (easy and completely hassle-free) and we arrived a few minutes early and our order was made up there and then. The fish is really fresh and it has been cooked in fresh, clean oil, which allows you to taste all the flavour of the fish. And the chips are great, too!

Absolutely brilliant very nice place to eat only stop for a cup of tea. Really enjoyed the food

We popped in for a Sunday roast for the first time since the pub went under new management last year. WOW! The best roast dinner I’ve had in a restaurant ever. The meat was tender, the potatoes were perfectly crisp, the gravy was out of this world. I opted for a side of cauliflower cheese, which was delicious. The service was amazing too, lovely friendly staff who couldn’t have done more for us. Highly recommend! Can’t wait to go back.

We called in on the off chance of a room being available on a very busy weekend and were surprised to find not only was there a room but the family who run the hotel were exceptional. They could not have done enough for us and made us feel like part of their family. The room was a good size and very clean, there is a great outside area at the back of the hotel which is very child friendly and seating at the front which we took advantage of after our breakfast where we had tea . They also made room at the front of the property for my husband to park the car..We arrived as strangers and after one night left as friends .. We will definitely be making a return visit as the hotel is only a short walk into town and across the road from the beach and hopefully if available take advantage of one of the balcony rooms at the front which overlooks the sea .

A regular purchaser. Never had many issues that a worthwhile complaing regarding the pizza. One main issue is delivery time. Over an hour on a few occasions. When calling the same reply it's on its way, no apology. Wouldn't put anyone off overall the pizzas are lovely.!
