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.

Based in a smart greenhouse on what looks like a small holding Standard food options but done very well. Options for breakfast, lunch, dinner, tea and cake. And of course coffee, tea etc Run by the owners I guess, slightly quirky but overall very good and would recommended. Great views

What an absolutely wonderful, homely, lovely independent public house. From the great service, fantastic food and locally brewed ales, I could not fault it. We will definitely be back!

Absolutely lovely lunch, we had the burger and chips and it was so tasty, haven't had a burger like it for a long time. Really great garden for the dogs to sit in and the pond was beautiful.

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.

It's the STAFF that make a meal a real deal. Dan's the Man - RHS 😁

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
