The best restaurants in Heybridge East Maldon East of England

I prebooked by email .. communication was brilliant. Service very good and amazing bacon sandwich. Definitely recommend. We’ll 100% come back.

it's something of an effort to get to Native but that's all part of the experience. The food is unlike anywhere else we've been. Every dish was delicious and original. Native say they use lots of locally sourced and foraged ingredients and it tastes like it. The service is great too. Taking a boat back to our car certainly made for a memorable evening.

Connor and Molly have very recently taken over the reins at The Beach House and they are doing a fabulous job. We went for a Mother’s Day’s meal and despite it being busy the service and atmosphere was amazing. All our meals were delicious and it’s was definitely the best restaurant roast I have had in a very long time (especially if you like Yorkshire pudding - it was massive 😂). We’ll definitely be back very soon.

I take my dog and family. It’s a beautiful spot to enjoy some real food. They try to cover allergies,too. The cooking is spot on and the customer care is great. I understand they can’t take cash for safety, which is understandable these days. Worth a ‘Punt’ 😀

This is a great place to get away from it all and kick back. Beautiful access to the coast and wonderful sunsets - club and bar on sight and play area for kids.

Excellent Chinese. Good sized delicious portions and delivered to 15 mins away, on time and piping hot. Highly recommend.

Best Chinese in heybridge! Been using them for years

Had a lovely cream tea for two. Smoked salmon was generous in the sandwiches and tried chickpea coronation sandwiches for the first time. Absolutely delicious! Sandwiches were well filled. Scones still warm and fresh! Asked for recipe! Best of all was the host Phil! He welcomed us and gave us some info about the history of the area. Real pleasure to be served by him. Will definitely be returning and recommend.

This take away has not been Bangalore Spice for a long time as it closed. As The Red Onion its is by far the best Asian food takeaway in the area who also offer a delivery service. The food is outstanding and the portions do not leave you hungry. Never had a problem and thoroughly recommended.

Our first visit here after the takeover from the Tiptree Jam company. Rather disappointed. We were accommodated quickly despite a number of other tables already being reserved however why are dogs allowed inside the restaurant especially jappy dogs that don't like each other?? Really concerned that we saw one of the members of staff petting a dog and feeding it in between serving customers!!!! In the past dog lovers were served outside. One couple chose their cakes while holding their dogs in their arms right next to the cake display. I had the half size breakfast which was not hot when served. The streaky bacon was in bits and looked awful on the plate, the poached egg was over cooked and hard and it certainly was not served with sour dough bread as described on the menu. The bread was ordinary sliced granary bread! My husband had the Eggs Benedict and also had overcooked poached eggs - not the 'perfectly poached' ones promised by the menu under a bright yellow Hollandaise sauce. Clearly it is attracting customers but it will be interesting to see how it survives in the summer when the area gets really busy and the traditional passing customers do not want to pay the prices or eat this rather pretentious food. Tiptree knew their target audience. Customers certainly have to be prepared to pay high prices for very average food which is very creatively described on the menu!

This was our second visit to the Jolly Sailor for our regular boys lunch. Excellent food, good service and well kept ales. Rather than pay in the public car park, try the large car park at the rear of the pub first.

Amazing cod and chips, unbeatable in the Maldon, Heybridge area. Always freshly cooked and so tasty.

This is the 3rd time myself and my party have returned to Osea leisure park and we were planning on returning again next year until this experience at the deck house which has now made us pause to discuss other options. On checkin we were excited to be told of the investments that had been made to the deck house restaurant / bar - sadly that’s where the excitement ended. We were greeted in a very friendly manner as we bought bingo tickets for the adults and the kids played on the arcades at the other end of the room. In total due to the size of our group we must have spent nearly £500 on games, bingo and the bar/food. It then went downhill. Our kids were spoken to rudely by management because they were using the machines whilst bingo was on ( a simple rule of no kids in the building during bingo would have negated this), one of our party was asked to leave the bar as she had a baby ( in a very unprofessional manner) and then one of our party were ignored when they won at bingo because the caller ‘didn’t hear them’ - by the time of the latter all the kids had gone because of the way they had been spoken to - some regulars and staff actually shouted at them to ‘shut up’! All they were doing was playing on the games provided - no shouting or bad behaviour. The bingo caller and some of the other bingo participants who I assume were regulars were beyond unfriendly and so unprofessional that we all left mid through the game and came away shocked at how a purported family friendly establishment had got it so wrong. I have never been made to feel so unwelcome - it was appalling. The osea leisure park accommodation is great and our experiences until this point have been excellent. If we do come back we will not be going anywhere near the deckhouse and if management want a truly family friendly holiday village they need to address their staff and rules immediately. Very disappointing!

Good atmospher always welcoming i prefer this pub out if the two it has better views over the sea wall and across the navigation lots of seating outside and along the lock

Set in a great position the pub has a selection of standard pub meals/snacks at reasoble prices and a good selection of drinks. The staff were friendly and helpful. We arrived at a busy time and were told there was a 30 minute wait for food before we ordered which was fine. This wasn't our first visit and won't be our last.
