The best restaurants in Burnham-on-Crouch South Maldon East of England

Delicious coffee and food, with a good range of healthier alternatives. Always very accommodating to allergies or intolerances with a range of options.

Sadly disappointed. Wanted a couple of pots of whelks but advised we’re still frozen. As were the prawns & cockles. It was 1pm.Chise to have a bag to go. While waiting asked for 2 oysters to enjoy at the small stand up table. Oysters were opened and prepared and offered to me on nothing. I asked if there was a plate and after waiting the oysters were again offered this time on top of a square metal pot of ice. They were delicious. I also noticed how other customers had the same frozen issues with one electing to have crab/fish sticks. The sticks were picked up by hand and bagged as the gent serving did not seem to know another way.

Amazing restaurant, gorgeous food and great service. Staff are amazing, always helpful and great with kids. So lucky to have a lovely restaurant like this on our door step.

I ordered my food online. Very straight forward. Was then offered a voucher to get £15 off. Amazing. I had to go and pick up my food. Shame no delivery service offered. Food was ready when I arrived. I did not receive the correct dips that I selected. But not a problem.

Really nice large cod with crispy batter. I skipped the chips because the large filet was enough for me. It is a small street side shop so you can't expect too much for atmosphere. Service was quick and courteous

Went for Sunday roast. Had the turkey and the very best apple pie with custard. Really enjoyed it. Plenty of everything. Good service with a smile. Good value for money. Lovely atmosphere. Will definitely go again.

Limited menu, service was brilliant as was my nachos, but the salsa and guacamole were poor. The burgers were not the best but The chips were good.

Me and my boyfriend came for date night, food was gorgeous but affordable, staff were lovely to us, I enjoyed their chicken dhamaka and sylheti mix mussula whilst my partner enjoyed their tandoori chicken balti will 100% be going back

This is a great local restaurant that serves delicious food. Don’t be put off by the dated decor, it does however create a charming feel. It is more on the expensive side, but the food is delicious.

Thought we would give this a try instead of Parlour cafe where we would normally eat if we are in Burnham , wish we hadn’t bothered… We asked if they had anything Gluten Free and were told only fruit buns; which we declined.( Tesco is only 2 minutes away so they could buy bread ) I settled for Bacon, Mushrooms and Scrambled egg which I know was safe for me to eat. The bacon was good but I’ve never had Scrambled Egg like it. Not only did it look disgusting, was so dry and fell apart it was cold and had no taste whatsoever. I suppose I wouldn’t have known if I hadn’t give it a go. Back to The Parlour cafe for me.

Group of friends stayed at local air bnb and found takeaway online with decent reviews. After spending time ordering online building 5 specific burgers disappointed to receive a we are not taking orders’ message. Having then rang up, told we can take your order after all as we know your a holiday rental. I can now see why, because the burgers were awful, although we were asked if we wanted salad, cheese, ketchup in burgers we then didn’t get any of this, just floppy burger in a soggy bun. The pizzas were better but very thick base and heavy. After eating the disgusting burgers though,the damage had been done and felt we were used as an easy target for an easy £60 who is unlikely to be repeat business.

Visiting family and friends in the area we booked three nights here, first impressions were very good, although parking can be a challenge, fortunately we did get a space out back near our room each day. We chose one of the ground floor outside rooms intentionally, unfortunately our first night we had very heavy rain, one of the gutters must be split as the drip drip drip was annoying, also there is a smoker’s container on the wall near the rooms, one night my husband had to get dressed to open our door to ask a smoker not to stand by our open window, I suggest that this container is moved from its position. Otherwise the room was a good size with a king sized bed. A good tea/coffee tray with biscuits. A small but adequate shower room, although we couldn’t work out how to turn on the heated towel rail. We ate in the restaurant every evening, the food on the whole was good. My husband enjoyed his lamb rump, the pork belly and his burger unfortunately the chicken shawarma wasn’t to my taste, the cauliflower described as crispy had been deep fried in batter and was soggy. The wing of skate was very small and thin. The continental breakfast was the most minimal I’ve ever seen, Cooked breakfast only being offered at the weekends, limited cereal, a small fruit bowl and DIY toast. On checking out I did indeed to point out the gutter and smoking container problems but there wasn’t anyone to be found.

Had this tonight , I’m sure the chicle had been cooked atleast 3 times , dry cold and extremely rubbery cold chips and also very expensive

Came here for a meal with friends. Service was very good throughout the meal. Food was delicious and piping hot which was great. Loved the flavours - and the naan bread was tip top. Definitely going back for another meal here.

We have regularly visited the cabin over some 15 years and sadly the latest reincarnation of this pleasant cafe appears to have given up on any kind of customer service, visiting this weekend we politely stood beside the sign asking us to wait to be seated and three members of staff ignored us for 5 minutes, we looked into the dining area where a few guests were surrounded by uncleared tables. We left having been ignored for another couple of minutes and visited another establishment which was equally disinterested telling us they had no drink or food..... Sadly 40 years ago when I sailed regularly at Burnham week and evening racing we always had troubles with aggressive locals,although we only live a few miles away, it would appear the people of Burnham really don't want visitors to support their businesses. I would suggest if you want to walk by the river and get lunch or afternoon tea, go to Maldon they are far more welcoming.
