The best restaurants in Brightlingsea Tendring East of England

A unique place to sit because of the location alongside the steam trains, but if you like good coffee you will be very disappointed.

Happened upon this gem whilst exploring Brightlingsea quite busy but service was prompt and friendly. Food was excellent with generous helpings and very reasonable prices. Will return for sure next time in Brightlingsea.

I expected Brightlingsea to have a lovely creative bakery especially as the baking is done on the premises. Was sorely disappointed in what was on offer. Got a wonderful sourdough loaf from The Fresh Cafe (open Friday and Saturday) Tower St. instead.

Delicious food friendly service I highly recommend ❤️

Had such a lovely experience on bank holiday weekend for brealfast ! Karen and Aaron made us feel very welcome and we left the venue with a smile 🥰

Needed somewhere to eat on Sunday night, and everything we tried was "Kitchen Closed" except for this place. It's down a narrow side street, but easy to find as it's very well lit. It was absolutely empty and stayed that way except for us. Staff were friendly, and the food was amazing. we were not disappointed with our food at all. We would eat here again.

Classic seaside fish & chips place. Food freshly cooked. Takeaway. Decent range. Minimarket (offie) over the road. Service friendly but rather slow - a result of how busy they were. Lot of people milling around the service counter, in each others way; would advise them to try to organise a better waiting system eg give a number to each order? There are tables inside but seemed hot and noisy.

Mostly a takeaway business although I think they have the odd table in there! Regular customer and have never had a complaint - good food, generous portions and friendly service - give it a try!

This is a nice pub, friendly staff. Really nice lady serving called Laura really nice and chatty lady. Food was great. 👍

Takeaway was very tasty and the freshest we've had in a long time, Wii definitely use them again when in the area, in particular the crispy chilli beef and chicken shop suey.

Rang ahead with order, only had to wait a couple of mins for it to be completed. Absolutely lovely meal, we thoroughly enjoyed it and have no complaints

Very friendly staff. Good food. Not so keen on the music a bit young for us. The desert was fabulous Toffee and Honeycomb cheese cake. The Shiraz wine was also very good. Good service from DaisyT

Now The Golden Wok and have done a review for this here, the Golden wok is a great takeaway and i hope they stay open as it has become out go-to Chinese food takeout.
