The best restaurants in Pyefleet Colchester East of England

Friendly staff,lovely seafood restaurant we ordered crab,mussels, prawns and oyster,fresh salads.definately worth a visit if your on the island

Didn't have any food but the drinks and atmosphere is 10/10

Went today with the other half and her Mother. Got to say the service was absolutely first class and the food we had was so freshly cooked and beautifully presented in fact the Spiced Parsnip soup i had was the best i’ve ever tasted. The Wine was lovely and the whole place was spotlessly clean. Highly recommend and when back to see the Mother in Law 🤦😂 will definitely be back.

Top tier! Lovely settings, peaceful, friendly staff who went out of their way to make sure we had honey for the tea, ample parking, food was 10/10. Will be back!

Very nice pub. Great food very nice staff

What a pleasant pub. After visiting the area me and my friends decided to stop for lunch. The young girl was very friendly and answered all our questions. She even recommended a dish which would not disappoint us. That lasagnia was delicious. So was her choice of wine. Very impressed..

Absolutely wonderful place. Cosy in the Winter, huge outdoor space in the Summer, and a lovely feel to it. The food is amazing, with plenty of choice, and the service is impeccable. I cannot recommend the Whalebone enough.

orderd 1. Char grilled chicken flatbread with slaw which was tiny pieces of chicken looked like it was packet chicken, no slaw no spring onions minimal piri sauce Order 2. Katsina curry. No slaw or mango chilli dressing Order 3. Childs chicken burger with chips Was two chicken fillets in a bun with curly fries. Don't understand we didn't get what we ordered. Cost nearly £50 Verry disappointed

The Shakshuka with chorizo was one of the best breakfasts I have had! Served with toast and I had tea. Service was great, helpful and premted what we needed. Will be visiting again on route to Cudmore when talingbthe dogs for a walk along the beach!

Menu looks really good for gluten free until you go to order and ask if they use separate fryers. The answer is no and when challenged that food is no longer gluten free they don’t want to know. When I said they lie on their menu I got a shrug. They have the cheek to charge you £2 extra for gluten free fish and chips which is, again, cross contaminated. My opinion is avoid if you have any allergies as they obviously don’t care.

We went for drinks with our family, were only told after we purchased the drinks that children age 13 were not allowed in the bar area.?? The bar area only had handful people in it?? We were told one figure when paying, but on checking bank when we returned home, found more money was taken Also found the bar person cold in their welcome, not what you expect from staff working in a pub Shan’t be back
