Had to leave a review as just outstanding! Amazing food served with smiles. We were warmly welcomed and both kept saying how delicious are meals were. Every detail is covered - from the varied menu to the high quality of the napkins - The Court House really do themselves proud. Thoroughly recommend - already booked in again!

This is a restaurant that gets better and better, the moment you walk in you are greeted warmly and the service is excellent. The choice of specials on the menu boards caters most tastes. The portion sizes are large so I decided against a starter to make room. For the quality, service and ambience the courthouse offers great value

Often use the courthouse as my go to for lunch and dinner. Been here on a number of occasions across the last 12 months and every time the food has been fantastic, great service and always incredibly hospitable, have 0 faults. Food is always piping hot and fresh, staff are always incredibly pleasant! I have 0 faults for this place, from one business to another great work! would 100% recommend! And there is 0 doubts this is the best place to eat locally.

The family gathered to celebrate my grandson’s birthday at the Court House for a rare family get together. There were seven of us. The welcome was warm, the service excellent and the food and portions were superb. All in all a thoroughly enjoyable couple of hours.

First time visit to this very popular eatery which also has outside seating at the rear. Four of us had a great dining experience, staff were welcoming and provided good service and did not rush us, despite it being exceptionally busy at 7:30pm. So glad we made an advanced booking! Besides the comprehensive menu, there was also a ‘Specials Board’ with plenty more choices. We shared 4 duck pancakes for a starter and I then had the Goan Chicken Curry and rice which was delicious and came with naan, a pitta bread, mango chutney and lime pickle. The side of chunky chips, we shared. There was definitely no room for a dessert.

I visited for lunch with my dad and my partner. We chose this place largely because my partner's vegan and they have a selection of vegan mains (falafel pitta, butternut squash tart, and a curry). As it happened, she wasn't feeling that hungry and just went for jackfruit wings (a starter) and chips. My dad had cod and I had the falafel pitta. We all had dessert too. The food was very good. I thought the pitta might have been a bit larger, but it was certainly well-filled and the chips - though not particularly rustic - were very chunky. The portions don't look large, but despite having had an early lunch I still wasn't really hungry by the evening. The only downside was a few issues with food labelling. My dad and partner both had the bakewell tart for dessert. That was described as coming with custard on the menu, but served with ice cream instead. (No mention of any substitution.) Further, my partner's jackfruit wings were marked vegan on the menu but the receipt only labelled them V (vegetarian) not VG (vegan). Indeed, I also noticed the crispy squid was marked V on the menu. These things were a bit off-putting, given that we'd come here because they seemed to have good vegan options. That's why 4* rather than 5*.

2 Kiwis traveling in the UK! Our experience at The Courthouse was amazing! From the moment you step in the door you are greeted with such warmth and kindness! All the staff hubby and I had any interaction with during our overnight stay here were most helpful, kind and super friendly.. Showing a cameradie and team spirit with each other that can only come from enjoying where they work and that has to come from great management! The whole establishment is pristine and the overnight accommodation was very comfortable and cozy. Dinner was amazing.. compliments to the kitchen team! The bar and restaurant staff had us laughing and showed great interest in New Zealand, where we are from, making us feel like friends they had known for ages! I highly recommend a visit to this fabulous destination pub!

Another amazing meal. Staff are so friendly and helpful. It’s so nice to always feel welcome. The menu has many family favourites and then the vast specials board menu is superb.

I wish I could give this more than 5 stars, what an amazing dinner with a wide menu choice!! I had the smoked salmon and prawn plate to start. The sirloin for main and was cooked to perfection, the steak melted in your mouth. Big thank you to the amazing team!

Upon arrival sat down and up came a very pleasant young girl who asked about drinks to which i said not decided yet and have you Prawn Cocktail on the menu told no no soup either things you eat all your round at home so you expect them to be available in a restaurant, Asked about the Fish and Chips told only Haddock available which i cannot eat. Not all customers want Olives and Dips different ages like what they are used to should cater for all tastes surely? This was 3.45 on a Saturday so goodness knows what they will have available this evening to offer people. Perhaps trade not very good so cut down the variety as the Wooden Fender always had these items plus Steak and Ale pie and Liver and Bacon always on the menu. Hence we said well we are not stopping as nothing here for us so left and went to the Pier in Harwich where Prawn Cocktail and Fish And chips with choice of fish is always available all year round.

I stayed a few days in October of 2019 at the Courthouse Inn and was completely charmed by both the history of the building as well as the owners, two very nice, hard working people! I loved sitting at the pub bar and talking to the local people who remind me of an old saying " There are no strangers here, only friends you have yet to meet"! Cant wait to someday return once they open up travels from the US again.

Booked in for lunch and a pint. The pub was empty except for two others in the bar. We were told by a waitress the menu was reduced 'due to covid' The cask beers are all off 'due to covid' and presumably the quality friendly service was also off 'due to covid'. Perhaps this establishment should look at others in the area which are offering quality service, a quality menu and real beer. Then they may get the customers the others are getting. Their web site clearly states:- 'finely kept real ales'. It doesn't. Could this be the new excuse for poor service, reduced quality, reduced choice, and put all the blame on covid?? We left.

Ten best of friends from Country & Western scene met here on a Sunday early afternoon for lunch to celebrate a 70th Birthday. The room occupied by us was superb as it was personal and well laid out. The staff were very attentive and friendly, and when the selected food arrived it really looked appetising. We all had 3 courses and everyone praised the quantity and tastiness of all the food supplied. Also, now realising they supply Shepheard & Neme Ales its a no brainer to start using this venue again for further meals as a group and as couples . Yes Michelle was an excellent host and would highly recommend to visit this restaurant.

Visited today 18th June almost empty in there more around the bar drinking. Young girl server came up to take our order. She said soup is golden vegetable so we both ordered soup. On the menu it stated with roll and butter. The soup arrived after a fair wait for it and so did the roll and would you believe the usual little butter pat which had already had the foil lid removed. I wondered why? Firstly the roll was a soft bap the type meant to be used for a Burger dry and horrible. Looked at the so called butter it was a margarine yellow colour. Tasted it guess what it was margarine, Ate the soup nothing special at all. When girl came back to clear soup bowls I said to her that is vegetable spread or margarine definitely not butter. Her reply I do not know I do not work in the kitchen, I said well tell them the roll was bad enough as it should be a crusty roll with soup. And on the menu it states butter so it is dishonest to then serve margarine. Now know why the foil lid was removed before being bought to the table. Because that would have stated no doubt margarine. Girl asked did I want to order anything else I said no. As it now stood out a mile they cut corners here trying to pass margarine off as butter what else would they get up to? Husband asked for the bill. When the girl brought it to the table I asked her what did they say in the kitchen about passing off margarine as butter. Her reply was so quiet barely audible it was obvious she had said nothing to anyone. As to her this was normal I should think cutting corners. here so why comment she was not surprised at all, If it had been a genuine mistake she would have said sorry and took the roll away and the margarine as I had spread some on the roll and bought me another. No this was no mistake. And in all my years of eating out have never been served butter with the lid already removed which says it all. Well you lost out as we never ordered dinners which we intended, And we will never come back there ever. No doubt most of your customers are elderly I am myself but not that daft that I cannot tell margarine from butter. We eat out a lot so you have done yourself no favours here at all.

Booked and not told about a wedding booking they had and that kitchen would be unavailable early afternoon, asked for separate bills at beginning then made to feel this was an inconvenience at end. Manager called friend a lier to face, saying they had informed of wedding, felt very rushed and very unprofessional management. Food on the whole tasted ok, some of the group didn’t feel it was worthy of the price (mine however I enjoyed). However due to way management treated a large group with a bill of over £150 would not recommend or return.

We stayed here for one night whilst in the area for a funeral. The accommodation was in a 'quasi' stable block behind the pub, so it was quiet, with each of the 6 rooms named for a famous race horse (Red Rum, Desert Orchid etc.). It was very comfortable and the staff were extremely friendly and efficient. The food was good, home cooked pub food, reasonably priced, and the full English breakfast was a treat.

I grew up spending weekends not far from this traditional pub and restaurant - and have many happy memories of Sunday afternoons with parents and grandparents. Today, it is a little different, but still with its oldy-worldy charm inside, and it has a lovely outdoor seating area at the rear. The staff are very friendly and are always happy to stop and have a chat about the local area and its history. Ask about the hauntings! Oh yes, and the hangings!

The Court House is a gem. A group of us from Harwich U3A Bookclub recently enjoyed Afternoon Tea here. There was a wonderful selection of sandwiches, scones and cakes. The scones were served accompanied by bowls of whipped cream and tiny pots of Tiptree strawberry jam, which was a nice touch. To finish we all had large strawberry tartlets.

An early evening meal at The Court House, booked in advance with excellent communication from the staff. Good menu but the three of us went for speciality pies and suet puddings as the main course - yummy! Desserts to follow - white chocolate cheesecake and sticky toffee pudding and custard - equally yummy! Quick and friendly service with the opportunity to chat to a number of staff and the owner that gave a real family feel and added to the enjoyment of the evening. Little touches make the difference, and offering to open a fire door for my registered blind aunt so she could leave avoiding the tricky little steps at the entrance was much appreciated. Although not living locally, this is somewhere we would definitely return to when we are next in the area. Well done!!

We have eaten here on several occasions and each time the food has been fantastic. This previous experience prompted us to book and hold a family event here on a Sunday lunchtime. They managed to serve 38 people with a piping hot two course Sunday lunch of exceptional quality. The vegetables were first class and each differing dish was of quality food. Not one guest had any complaint and many said they would return. They undertook virtually all the arrangements and the service on the day excelled. Can truthfully recommend this venue to all.

Tonight we popped into our local for a bite to eat, they were really busy but the waitress was really lovely and soon had us seated.My son had one of the specials The T bone steak with all the trimmings, my husband had gammon and I too had steak but mine was sirloin.All dishes were served piping hot and tasted yummy!Our waitress (pretty young blonde girl) was super friendly and it was a pleasant evening. Thank you

Poor management and service. Had to wait over an hour for food. While warned of a delay it is unacceptable for others to be served two courses and later arrivals served food while we were made to wait.

We enjoyed Sunday Lunch today at The Court House. After a warm welcome, the food and service as always was great. We choose Roast Beef which was perfectly cooked with loads of crispy roast potatoes and parsnips. The choice of fresh vegetables served separately accompanied by a jug of delicious gravy was a joy. Attention to detail was a credit to Michelle and her lovely team. I am Coeliac and the great gluten free choice of main courses and desserts was so attractive. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

During our stay we enjoyed 3 days worth of evening meals, The sunday roast melted in your mouth, the Mixed grill my partner had was huge, although he still managed to eat a giant chocolate-nut sundae after. we had a light lunch before we left to head home and we both tried the traditional ploughmans which gave us ther fuel we needed to head back home.hope to visit again august bank holiday

We booked for 10 people for our nan's 94th birthday party and arrived to a warm welcome. Balloons and 'happy birthday' banners had been put up in a separate area of the pub seating the 10 of us perfectly. Staff also wished Nan a happy birthday on arrival and departure and could not have been more accommodating.One of the party is dairy intolerant and the staff made the kitchen aware and advised on what items included dairy and where this could be avoided. The restaurant had dairy free cream and meringues that made dessert easy. As there was 10 of us there was a slightly longer than anticipated wait for the food, but it was fresh and hot and there were no complaints. This is the second time we have had a celebration at The Court House, was 7 of us last time and again food was excellent. We sampled the Sunday Lunch this time around and the roasts were very good. Plenty of vegetables for all. The price was extremely good value for money and we all had a lovely time.

I visited this gem of a cafe on the quiet end of Clacton seafront for breakfast this morning and I will definitely be back. Located right overlooking a beautiful beach this family run cafe deserves every one of the five stars I have given it. Spotlessly clean, with welcoming courteous staff and great all day menu of breakfasts and traditional family cafe meals. What more can you ask for? Good value and quality products and yes you’ll get them too! Popular with locals and visitors to the area alike a lot to enjoy about the Greensward Cafe!! Oh and it has a great crazy golf to enjoy as well, perhaps when the weather is a bit better! An absolute credit to the proprietor and team - visit and enjoy a real seaside treat !!!
