The best restaurants in West Mersea Colchester East of England

We came from out of area as were staying close by on NYE. We had a lovely welcome and a beautiful meal. The disco was great fun and the staff and local people who frequent the pub made us feel very welcome. A lovely evening!

Another let down …. I’ve always had great food from here but the problem I have had in my last 2 attempts at getting food is crazy …. First a few weeks ago I queued up for 20 mins then when I got to the counter and asked for just 1 cheese sandwich was told 40 mins wait !!!! So I didn’t bother …. Now today after spending 6 hours decorating a beach hut I decided at midday to go and order some food… brilliant no queue only to be told that the cook / chef was going out for 15/20 mins !!!!! Turning around to see him put his coat on and leave … at lunch time REALLY .. we have sent literally dozens of customers your way from our beach hut rentals and all of them have said what a great little cafe we have left your menus in our huts for the customers to look at ect .. unfortunately we have again been let down and found myself driving to Tesco to get lunch …. To save us from any negative feedback we are removing the menus from the huts in case something similar happens to our customers…

A bit disappointed with some of the food today (crab bisque was just salty and watery) which was such a shame as we have always really enjoyed the food here (mussels were great). We will be back as it hasn't put us off though.

Just called in here Mersea is dead nothing open!!!! Missed opportunities for all , not these guys. Served by a delightful young lady called ‘Angel’ who offered to cook me something. So kind of her , she done you guys proud!!!

Complete rip off as it's the only one on the island and they quite clearly know that. Portions are very small terrible value for money. Taste was ok, dishes were hot

Finally they have internet access so can pay by card now aswell as cash! Great little beach side cafe.

Very expensive pub meal considering was an average pub grub. Service was good.

Don’t bother… You will wait hours to collect your takeaway. It’s sheer greed on their part. They clearly can’t cope with the volume of orders, but continue to take them. So even if ordering in advance you will wait at the premises up to an hour after they said it would be ready. Not just once.. every time. This business will nose dive as soon as there is some competition on Mersea

We love this restaurant especially Paul the head chief who accommodated my dietary requirements and even remembered my dietary needs a year on! I was very impressed. Despite a limited menu, when you talk to the staff they are very supportive to dietary needs. Paul was absolutely lovely and checked if everything was ok during the meal, plus all of our 13 meals came out very quickly.

Please update your website I drove a hour away for your takeaway didn't know it was delivery only

Had a delivery from here and the food really wasn't that great. Ribs full of inedible bits, ended up throwing away far more than you could actually eat. Other dishes were very watery and didn't taste that great. Spring rolls were good and other dishes were ok but shame about the rest.
