Came on Sunday with my girlfriend for a roast, and it was amazing. One of the best Sunday lunch’s we’ve had; definitely will be returning. Staff were lovely and service was brilliant.

Easy to pass by this seafood delight. Great choice of piscatorial (fishy) dishes - well cooked and well priced. Generous portions and unusual recipes. Staff are friendly and helpful, but I could do with less of "guys"! However, that will not stop me returning for another delicious meal.

What a hidden gem this place is! The staff are so lovely and welcoming. Beautiful pub with a lovely garden & view. Food was delicious! We had tempura prawns, salt & pepper squid and duck spring rolls for starter. We had the king prawn chorizo mac & cheese - it was sooo yummy! Not a dish you come across very often. The menu is unique and very well priced too - We were shocked at the bill at the end! Thank you again Tom, we will be booking again very soon! 🥰

A lovely, relaxed and unpretentious pub/restaurant offering excellent home-cooked meals. I come here occasionally with colleagues and we have always enjoyed good hospitality and wholly satisfying food and drinks. It is clearly popular with local people, which attests to its consistency. The view of the estuary from the conservatory is stunning. I very much look forward to our next lunch!

We were in here for dinner. We sat in the conservatory. There were dead flies all round the windows. The white table cloths were dirty from previous diners and creased. The waiting staff stroked dogs and never washed their hands - totally off putting, as had already ordered. Starters were deep fried and tasteless and the main was average. Waiting staff were falsely polite and the wine was acidic.

We booked online for our anniversary. I had made a mistake and booked daily menu, when i should have booked daily specials (it was a Wed and in daily specials you get 20% of food bill. I emailed and this was changed with no problems. When we arrived table was ready even though we were early. Tom, Sarah and bar team had put a anniversary card on our table, lovely touch. Staff very attentive and friendly. We had crab bon hons for starters, I had whole grilled plaice and husband had blackened cajun seared salmon. Both were very good, waitress asked if i wanted head on or not I opted for head off (can't have fish looking g at me when eating it lol) for puddings I had biscoff sundae and husband had lemon meringue pie and ice cream. Again very tasty. I definitely recommend the rosebud to anyone who likes seafood or more general food. Also got told that if you keep receipt you get 10% of your food bill nezt visit

We have been coming here on and off for ten years, sadly interrupted by lockdowns. It is more than an hour's drive from home but the experience is sufficiently exceptional to justify it. Copious thanks to the staff for making my French wife's birthday a very special occasion. A talented cook she is not a great fan of British pub food but is a vocal advocate of the undoubted quality and value for money of what is on offer here. Thank you so much, Tom, for an unforgettable occasion, also for seating us at the round table in the conservatory which has ultimate charm in it's ambience and perspective.

What can I say, as soon as you walk in the restaurant your greeted by Sarah who front of house is so welcoming and helpful. It was a special family lunch for my husband who hadn't seen his brother, sister-in-law, sister and brother in law for a while also just getting over major surgery needed some family time. The attention to us all by Sarah was great, nothing was too much, the food was great, well outstanding and the deserts went down extremely well, we weren't rushed and the afternoon went so well, they all said we have to return, our son enjoyed himself aswell. We will definitely be going back and again a b8g thank you to Sarah and her staff.

We had been a couple of times to the Rosebud for a bite to eat and a drink over Christmas and they were very busy, so decided to visit and try the special Burger and a drink which has to be booked on the Rosebud Facebook page which is very easy to do. As soon as you walk in it feels lovely, warm and cosy with the wood burner glowing, nearly all the tables were taken, and we were seated next to the bar. We ordered a pint of beer and a glass of wine, Burger, chips, coleslaw, and onion rings which were excellent for £10 each followed by two scoops of quality ice cream at £1.50 per scoop. Would have liked a Liquere coffee but to full, watched the chicken burger coming out and will be trying that next time. Both the ladies that were serving were very pleasant and welcoming and happily chatted to you which in itself is unusual these days. Fantastic menu which we are looking forward to trying in the future with our friends. I can thoroughly recommend the Rosebud.

This absolutely wonderful restaurant has food to dream about days after. The seafood is just superbly cooked, presented and has the rich flavours of the sea. We have dined here for several years and the quality has never altered as well as the most friendly atmosphere and staff. I can truly say that you would not be disappointed making a visit to the Rosebud, but make sure you book as it is very popular at any time.

This pub/restaurant is simply superb! This is a no frills, all original British pub but so much more is on offer. You will struggle to enjoy better food anywhere else locally or even nationally. The menu is really varied and well thought out but with a reasonable emphasis on seafood. (Milk poached haddock with a crispy egg - what a revelation!). The prices are decent too and the service is exceptional. Really attentive and friendly staff. We’ve been a number of times including lunch time and evenings. There are regular offers posted on their Facebook page which are such good value (essential to book in advance for these). A really great eatery - highly recommended. Oh and tip top cocktails as well!

was part of a group of four people who booked and had Christmas lunch today at the Rosebud. We booked because we had Christmas Lunch last year and had thoroughly enjoyed it. This year was definitely not the same experience, speaking about my own meal I will list what I was very dissatisfied with and disappointed by… 1. The turkey meat was dry 2. The Yorkshire pudding was over cooked 3. The potatoes were not crisp 4. The vegetables were bland and uninteresting 5. The stuffing did not taste very nice, nor did it look nice, rather it looked like it has been tipped out of a tin! My colleague was also disappointed by their lunch. On the positive side the service was very good the waitress was attentive friendly and efficient,

The staff were very busy and still managed to achieve great service. Such great value for money here can’t fault it.

Visited for their internet special, Burger snd Beer night, the premises are listed and therefore old, but that adds to the character, it’s a welcoming and friendly atmosphere, the food was excellent, very filling, brilliant value, The normal menus is varied yet caters for all. Is well worth a visit, fish is their specialty, but all food is freshly cooked. Check out their internet specials, but only if you book them online, Lunch and evening Wednesday to Friday.

An amazing place with friendly staff, fantastic food and a real home from home. We visited the rosebud this month which was sublime, nice cozy fire and cozy atmosphere adds to the complete ambience of this special place. It's all about the small things such as the chef coming out to talk to you at your table, he really couldn't do enough to get feedback on your experience, something you don't get very often nowadays. The Christmas decorations have recently been added to the inside and outside of the pub which makes it extra special particularly when children are visiting. We couldn't recommend the rosebud high enough but be sure to book as tables do go quickly as we have found out to our detriment on occasions. Try the butt bowls which are great extension to the light bites and also the fisherman's pie is to die for.

I wouldn't go back, tables around the bar, seats that don't match, dirty painted wall, and outdated. Such a shame the whole place needs updating or at least match, three different colour woods and then a grandmother s table cloth on one table. Enterance door terrible and old toilets which are cold and very old, all need replacing, and broken flooring. Outside furniture also terrible, the place could be great of ran correctly and totally updated, the view out the back is good which is the only good thing about the place. Food is okay but it does not make up for the atmosphere. Hopefully someone will come along and spend some money on the place and it could be great.

As locals we decided on the Rosebud for a last minute lunch. Since our last visit the pub has been transformed into a cosy restaurant with tablecloths and flowers. A lovely warm welcome. The menu has a good range of seafood dishes plus a variety of other dishes to suit all tastes and budget. I had Cromer crab - a generous portion with French fries and a tasty salad. The sea bass went down well too! Good puddings - especially the waffle. The bill including a couple of large glasses of Sauvignon blanc came to &60 including tip. I think good value and not over the top prices. Good idea to make a booking!

Arrived early from London for mini break in Clacton, got a lovely warm welcome and sat in the conservatory. We had a lovely chilled bottle of wine, cockles, mussels, crab and a ploughman’s and the food was delicious - well presented, good portions and tasty. The star of the show was the lovely Helen who served us, she was so warm and friendly. We asked for some deserts after the kitchen had closed, and instead of just saying it was closed, she offered to see if she could serve us, which she did. An absolute gem of a place and so lovely to find somewhere that serves fresh seafood in a glorious setting. We come to Clacton once a year from South London and this is someone we will definitely be back to. Thanks so much for a lovely afternoon.

Perhaps I should keep this quiet so we can get booked in still. Lovely non-corporate pub, friendly, great beer and one of the best Sunday lunches in years.

As the title of my review implies, we were extremely pleased with our visit. Our large Labrador was made to feel most welcome (he sat under the table all the time). The food was also good value for money.

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 !!!
