The hoy in Tendring

Lovely evening, dancing n drinking to a DJ. Prices not bad, bar area quite small n cosy, upstairs toilets lovely .

We held my Mum's wake here as this was her local. Neil, the owner was fantastic in making sure everything was just right and put on an amazing spread of food. The bar staff were brilliant and attentive. Bar prices are very reasonable. Highly recommended. Thanks to everyone at the Hoy!

Clique pub. Mediocre staff. Only pleasant if they accept you as one of their own. They don't do food anymore so previous reviews null and void.

Only stayed for a quick drink.but very friendly and pleasant

Popped in for one, while my takeaway was being prepared (Balti House 👍). Really great pub, pool table, juke box, TV, open fire. Good beers, friendly staff and a good atmosphere. Wish I could have stayed longer.

As good as ever ! One of the Best places in town for Sunday Lunch.

Pub inside looks very dark, gloomy and rundown.. phone is broken to ring ahead and the number on website doesnt even recognise when calling.

The food was lovely with generous portions , staff are polite and friendly.

Obviously a popular place with the locals. Didn't try any food but something smelt nice n spicy.

Awesome Pub, very welcoming, great atmosphere and decent prices.

Absolutely delicious roast can't fault & stunning homemade cheesecake for dessert 😋

Didn't eat her so can't comment on food. Great atmosphere and karaoke Lovely people

Great food and good value. The fish and chips and the pie were really good, the burger not so much. The waiter was very nice

Great meal, nice atmosphere, very friendly

Great food, reasonably priced, and very friendly people

Nice food bit. slow on service of drinks

While on holiday in the area we wanted to eat out so thought we'd give some of the locals a try. This is a lovely little pub/restaurant with VERY friendly staff and although we were a little late for last food orders they still allowed us to order. And WOW am I glad they did! Now it was only sirloin steak and chips, but it was the first time in a VERY long time that both My wife I had our steaks cooked to exactly our liking, the chips were lovely and fluffy and the onion rings crisp, but light. As for the dessert, the Jam roly poly with custard was lovely but the homemade Lemon cheesecake was AMAZING the base was perfect (not too dry and just moist enough) and was complimented by the light, fluffy, creamy Lemon cheese topping. All in all I would HIGHLY RECOMEND The Hoy for the food, for the service and for the homely pub atmosphere and we will definitely be returning again before our holiday is over.

Lovely pub, good food, good atmosphere, nice staff and a pool table too

Absolutely cracking FISH AN CHIP'S, ,Huge portions, Perfect Batter on fish, chips were beautiful too,not oily and soggy ' and the Staff were EXTREMELY POLITE and friendly. Recommend the HOY to ANYONE 👍

Brilliant food, great prices nothing too pricey. Family friendly. Very friendly people and locals

So lucky to pop in today at the right time to squeeze in an unplanned Sunday lunch Thank you so much Food is always so so good here Great traditional food everytime

Sunday roasts by Ali and team are brilliant. Famous homemade cheesecakes are lovely too

Ali and Debs fantastic food excellent service 👌

Only visited for a quick drink so dont know about the food but told by a local that the food is very good, i will update when we have eaten there. The beer prices are cheap compared to where i live, £2.80 for a pint of Carlsburg pretty good value.

Check their restaurant timings before going in. Most restaurants are closed on Mon/Tuesday. The place is quite nice, warm and cosy.

Had a lovely roast dinner and dessert for the reasonable price of 10.95 would definitely go again .ps get the cheesecake it's fantastic

Super little restaurant small easy uncomplicated menu ,excellent value ,we dine here ALOT,Totally brilliant bar area ,full of friendly locals,lots of little rooms up and down stairs all slightly different plus a pool room ,clean toilets

Another fab Sunday roast and had anight out and the food was good mixed gril fab pork chop to dyefor thanks Alister and cook

Good Pub Grub, good quality beers. Eaten here a few times, menu is varied, typical pub grub, chilli, mixed grill, steaks etc, staff are happy to swap chips for baked potatoes, veg for salad, etc nothing is to much trouble Food is always good, service is attentive , and not gonna make a huge hole in your pocket. Leave room for the home made cheese cake - they are to die for. Sunday lunch is plated, choice of meats, and includes a sweet [ and cheesecake is on the list!] Thanks all.

Food is excellent as is the wine. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The bar is also really nice with staff and locals very friendly.
