The Red Lion in Tendring

We were staying at Holland On Sea for the easter break and found this pizzeria just up the road from where we were staying, we couldn’t decide what to eat. We were not disappointed one bit. The staff were fantastic, so friendly and welcoming and the owner himself is from Sorento (one place we want to go back to) had a lovely chat about Italy. The food menu was really good, so took a little while to decide lol, but what we did have was so delicious and yummy, the portion sizes are big, such good value for money. He also made some traditional Sorrento Easter cakes that that morning, so we had to buy one….WOW they were amazing, wish we had brought one each😋 We will definitely be back when we return.

Lovely little spot with great Italian food and a warm, welcoming vibe. The pizza is fresh and full of flavour, and the pasta hits the spot. Friendly service and fair prices — definitely worth a visit if you’re in town.

We had dinner here for our anniversary and were very pleased with our experience. We were served by Tessa who was new to hosing on her own and she did a wonderful job. She was ever so kind and helpful and handled the stress very well. The food was very nice but then again we’re biased, we love pasta. We would recommend this restaurant and would visit again

Nice food, decent atmosphere and very friendly staff, especially Vincent. He was very polite and very quick to serve.

Lasagne was good, corn was good, but the chips were brown an floppy. Not very nice. They've cooked and served better.
