The Walton Tavern in Tendring

We had decided to go out for a trip and ended up at Walton on naze We decided to try the Walton Tavern for a Sunday roast We were sadly disappointed the food was served luke warm and the gravy was extremely thick and lumpy We both sent our meals back and all they did was nuke them and they were no better We ordered some desserts and eventually gave up waiting Definitely will not return

No real ale on draft. Beaverton neck oil on keg at £6.60 a pint. Food is basic but large portions.

Sunday dinner was inedible bland, tough meat, overcooked. The clientele were very loud and their language was fowl and very intimidating. Not a very nice place to be. I recommend avoiding the place.

Nice and friendly staff, and great location

Great place to socialise and enjoy good food

Nice selection of beers free darts and pool table. A proper pub....Good selection of pub grub available too.

Friendly atmosphere, great fish and chips, helpful service. Will happily come again.

Popped in for drinks lunchtime midweek- drunk guy roaming around singing and being a wally- not somewhere I would take missus or family. Totally unwelcome so wont be back

Had a nice pint while waiting for the train as it's only a 5 minute walk from the station. Friendly staff and will definitely stop by again.

Lovely welcoming pub. Amazing views of the beach and pier. The new landlords have really turned it around. The new decor is warm and clean. Huge roomy function room that doubles as a restaurant. Ideal for partys. Ideal place to bring the family after a day on the pier.

Great pub good beers didn't eat but have heard the food is good

Had a lovely Sunday roast on Father’s Day. Perfect atmosphere for families -we all enjoyed our meals. Great value. Large portions - nice big plates. All the accomplishments you need. I loved the apple chutney for the roast pork. Kids meals also received positive reviews. Kind owners. They have a nice pool table and darts to keep everyone happy as well. And you even can enjoy the view from the restaurant as right on waterfront near the pier.

A lovely friendly place to visit

food was alright, nice staff, was empty

Came here with 5 friends . Very helpful young man serving who made us feel welcome and went out of his way to be helpful. Food was great value and tasty . Highly recommend

Stopped here for a quick pint and to watch FA cup. Good pub with great atmosphere. Proper pub feel to the place Hope to come back

Very nice atmosphere, kind staff and food was amazing 🤍

After a long walk we stopped for lunch and were not disappointed. Huge portions of food and very tasty. Staff friendly and welcoming and we will definitely eat here again

I had beer battered cod and chips, yes I know boring, but it was on a large plate and meal was really big, I ordered morezerrla sticks and wow they were big as well. I couldn't eat it all so my husband ate the chips . I would definitely go there again. There is a section for the restaurant but we chose the main area. The locals came in, and was a very friendly happy atmosphere. People were bringing in their small dogs and children

The roast was nice except the carrots which were raw.

Great initial visit love a pint of neck oil...landlady bubbly and ☺

Smashing place, the staff couldn't do enough for you. Highly recommended for all occasions. Great food, great service. I wish my local was like this. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐5 STARS👌

We had a lovely lunch at the Walton Tavern! 7 adults and 5 kids and we were really well catered for and the staff were so patient with us! They went above and beyond!

Great pub since reopening. Lovely owners, good selection of drinks, lovely food, amazing portion size and one of the best Sunday roasts in the area. Definitely recommend

Great pub since reopening. Lovely owners, good selection of drinks and the burgers are lush. Definitely recommend

Wonderful place and made us all feel so welcome

Great for a quick drink waiting for full kitchen to open Basic food well cooked.

Seafront pub in Walton on the naze

Great people, great pint, great food. What more do you need!

Great pub. Lovely staff. Nice clientele.

First time in will defo be going back

Open again Under new management, better than before,great local pub

Didn't eat here, but had the best night. Great hosts, nice people and atmosphere. Would definitely recommend to anyone visiting Walton on the Naze.

Took my 2 border collie dogs with me as it had recently reopened. Dogs got given water and treats as soon as we entered. Found a lovely sofa seat with the sea view, had a few drinks then ordered some food which I couldn't fault at all. Will deffo become a regular in there that's for sure!

Really pleased to see this pub re open. The owners appear lovely, and have created a nice menu at good value. The beer is also reasonable value, and very tasty! 😊

Reasonable prices, dog friendly. Lovely pub 👌

Good food, great staff. Beautiful view

A good place to stop and have a drink, or food. I have stopped here several times and have been very pleased with the service.

Went in for a little family evening meal. The food was cooked to order and tasted great and served hot. The staff were friendly and always smiling. Our waitress Sapphire was very good and was attentive towards the kids, making them smile and happy. Complemented the chef Alex on a job well done. Keep up the good work

Worst service Food was just about edible So much salt on the chips we’re unable to eat them Menu so limited available. Didn’t have napkins Beer had run out 2 different brands Coke had no fizz at all Staff children were running around all over Had the children waiting on tables when people had left (children aged from 7) Toilets didn’t have paper and weren’t clean at all Visited on a Sunday.

Reserved a table when asked, had a lovely meal, good value for money! First time eating in there and wasn’t disappointed, barmaid was busy but very efficient, nice young lady served us our food

Terrible food Terrible service, don't waste your money

Probably the worst pint I've experienced

Walton Tavern has a good range of drinks and is close to the Seafront. The staff were very nice and even made my mother and even made her some homemade Shepherds Pie!

Went here for roast with family, all the food was inferior budget, the portion was like rations so small, 1 roast consisted of, 1/3 of a chicken breast, cup of peas, cup of sweetcorn, 6 slices of carrot, 1 potatoe cut into small pieces, one budget value Yorkshire and a frozen stuffing ball. We was all finished our dinner in approximately 4 minutes it was that small. I think I could have bought all the ingredients at Lidl for less than £5 total for all 4 meals! Personally I would have been so embarrassed to serve this benefit dinner to someone. We went here as had a nice roast here years ago but it's clearly under new very poor management.

Went their once, overpriced beer, Cannot understand the UK beer trade, Standard Beers overpriced, what suppliers class as a premium Brands they certainly are NOT. San Miguel, The Spanish would not wash their Donkeys Hoofs in this Beer, but because its spanish its a premium brand - You must be joking. been once never to return, expensive beer

I arrived here with my father and ordered 2 glasses of processo to celebrate my 30th Birthday. Both of us took a zip whilst waiting to pay.. £17!!! £8.50 per glass! We asked if we could purchase the bottle as this was £20 but they didn't have any more bottles! This is more than what i pay in London. Rip off! Ps what makes it even worse that this particular bottle that they served is currently in tesco for £7 🤣 would not return.

Bizzare really - no tomato sauce? Perhaps walk to the store and get some for your customers? We felt for our server because it was his first day. He was fantastic, given the limitations and awkward situation with customers. Menu pics are definitely not what you will receive... goujons arrived as glorified fish fingers! The chips were lovely, but again, no tomato sauce, so we settled for mayo. Whoever is responsible needs to step up their management skills.

The only good thing about this pub is location. They only had one ale on tap and is was a below average pale ale from Maine, USA! The food was from the frozen section at a supermarket. Should have known better when we saw it empty.

We arranged to have my partners wake at the Tavern and they were spoken to a couple of weeks in advance to make arrangements. We were charged £500 for food, which would be set out for those attending. We arrived after the funeral service to find one person serving drinks. The food looked like it had been a bulk purchase from iceland, which could have been purchased and served for less than half the price. The bar did not have vodka or gin available when we first arrived and it appears someone had to run to the local shop to purchase some. Within a couple of hours they ran out of change, so it was card only purchases. The poor woman behind the bar spent most of the time on her own and did her best, whilst various other characters appeared to wander in and out of the bar with no obvious reason for being there. It was nice for people to catch up, albeit at a funeral, but I am unable to say anything positive beyond that. What was already a difficult day became a lot worse when we realised how badly run the establishment was.

Nice old pub, great views of the sea, friendly staff and good prices.

As pubs with a great location go, you can't look much further than this one. It opens right onto the beach, just a road opposite, and with seats outside gives you the views you want (although this seats can be noisy if the road is busy). Inside the pub has a cheerful interior and the food and drink are very nice, with the staff friendly and amenable. All in all a good place to stop for lunch or just a drink if you are on the beach or pier.

The Roast dinner was banging, defo recommend. Staff super friendly, right by the sea. Decor a tad dated but still worth a visit xxxx

NO draught beers ,told pumps were for show and only bottled beer gor sale Bit pricey too

Great value, family run business. Get the right table great views. Give it a go you won't be disappointed

Good place to stay at night, with sea view :)

we visited this pub and had lovely food, the staff were so friendly and had lovely views looking out the the sea, very impressed will def be returning.

Only popped in for a quick beer after a long walk but the beer was nice and the staff friendly. We were also allowed to bring the dog in which was a bonus

Excellent food and drink. Lovely staff ans a welcoming atmosphere.

Prime location but just lacking something.....

Great traditional seaside front pub very friendly staff great place to relax after a day on the beach in all seasons

Very friendly owner and staff made very welcome and food was very good.

Great place for Saturday morning coffee and cake watching the sea. Shame they don't get more customers.

Nice big old pub on the sea front. Dog friendly pub. Can sit outside or inside. Not many seats on the outside but if you can get one good views of the sea. Live entertainment here on certain days mainly over weekends. Good place to stop for a pint if visiting Walton peir as not far from there

A new venture for Walton Tavern weekend morning coffee and cakes. We are new to the area and never been in here but we were pleasantly surprised. Lovely old fashioned pub, clean and tidy. Very nice dining area off the main bar. Views out to sea. Will be very cosy come winter. We had Latte and hot chocolate both drinks were very good and served to our table. A piece of home made Victoria sponge cake and a very yummy custard croissant. Tranquil background music. Dog friendly which was a bonus not having to sit outside with our daughters pooch. I hope more people find this little gem and support the 2 young ladies trying to get this addition to the Walton Tavern offerings a firm fixture. We'll definitely be back.

Had a nice time here . We was a family of 6 all didn’t know what we wanted but the staff was so patient with us . Even went to the shop to get me mint sauce for my dinner lol food was amazing . Deffo be coming back

Lovely little pub just off the beach

Me and my family visited the tavern at the beginning of the 6 weeks holiday (July time) and the food was sublime, so flavourful and you could tell it was fresh! The batter on the cod i had was so crispy and I tried some of my husbands coleslaw it was divine! Some staff were semi friendly however my husband was served at the bar by a lady with tattoos and she was dressed atrociously and she was very rude and slammed his pint on the countertop she was more interested in talking to the other workers I presume! The young lad who served us was decently dressed and actually had some sort manners if that's what you could call them. We were very hesitant to return but we did this week(august time) , as I said the food we had before was beautiful so we decided to come back after spending some time on the pier, we were absolutely disappointed! The food was cold our roast potatoes still had skin on them and were hard! The meat was tough and my husbands beer was flat! Not to mention how rude the staff were again! The glasses looked dirty and had a funny smell to them when drinking from them! It's an absolute shambles the place looks dusty and so unorganised we left in a hurry without tipping and still half full. We definitely will not be returning and definitely will not recommend to anyone I know and will steer as many people away as possible! Don't waste your money!

Excellent food good price very good staff

only stopped for liquid refreshments but made to feel very welcome clean and tidy public house

Food wasn't good enough. Served by a nice, friendly young man, who tried his best, the problems weren't his fault.

Brilliant not expensive drinks or food sat outside after a long stroll on the beach

Polite staff, keen to serve with a smile!!..good sounds from the live singer and very clean.

Went in on the off chance. Very friendly service. Food came up fairly quickly and was perfectly fine. There was a mishap on an adjacent table when a child fell and smashed some glasses. The staff were there in seconds and within a few minutes everything was back to normal again. We would not hesitate to go back.

Nice pub right on the sea wall and a short walk from the pier. Food was good value, the hunters chicken and scampi were really good, and they also serve children's meals.

Waited for an hour for our food. Reminded them 3 times and received some plates haphazardly thrown together. Soggy and unseasoned cod and chips.

Nice little seaside pub food is good

We saw the place empty on Saturday evening and thought we were so lucky. There was a reason why it was empty. In an empty restaurant we waited more than 1 hour for our food. Just avoid

Terrible service, bad food. Had to wait for more than an hour, obviously they forgot about our order although we reminded them twice. A bad choice to end our day in Walton on the naze.

Food lovely staff very friendly, The pub was very clean

Friendly, relaxed. Nice staff. Glad we we went in

Nice place very clean looks like good food. Very friendly staff look forward to going back there.

Sitting close to the Pier and overlooking the sea it was a good place to have a beer with the sun shining for the first time. A nice bar that also sold food.

Nice pub but no parking Sunday roast was nice but not hot.

Lovely little pub on the coast road. Lager only no Ale. Beautifully cooked scampi and perfect chips. Avoid the peas. The worst peas I’ve ever had in my lifetime. Buck your ideas up and could really be delightful.

Ordered food and drink all come out random times. 2 kids meals come out with 2 so called roast dinners. Sat waiting for 45 mins for a kids fish and chips . The food was cold , worst roast dinner ever. Service from young girl , didn’t handle complaints at all. Come away feeling let down , hungry . Paid just to get out of there.

Great place.. very lovely staff and lovely atmosphere. Food fantastic.

When choosing a birthday take away it had to be the Walton Tavern, yet again they didn’t disappoint. Easy to order, arrived on time, lovely hot and fresh couldn't have enjoyed it more. Thank you

Awful beer selection but only place open to get a pint with a substantial meal.

Love this pub on a sunday afternoon. Nice sunday lunch too

What ever you're doing please keep doing it guys Another amazing delivered meal. If you havent tried them you really must. We'll be back very soon 👍👍👍

Excellent quality of food, always lovely cooked and arrives hot, and on time. The food is delicious and well worth it, would highly recommend. Thank you everyone 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Have walked along the seafront with the dog several times and stopped here for a drink, always very welcoming and friendly. Will definitely visit again post Covid.

Not that inspiring to look at bit young chap at the bar bent over backwards to help us and service was brilliant. Food was good to!

Good tasty food, service & value.

Couldn't tell you what it's like, looks like it might be closed for good from what we saw.

Nice new publicans and good beer

Don't bother going. Even the barstaff swearing. AVOID

Friendly and helpful staff. Standard pub menu using good quality ingredients. We had the Walton Burgers which were good. Kids meals seemed good as well. Pretty plain inside and out, but clean throughout.
