The best restaurants in Brightlingsea Tendring East of England

We came for brunch and the food was faultless as always!

I phoned up and tried to order a 1/2Lb berger with extra cheese and a pineapple ring, back in the day we called it a Hawaiian burger. I was told they couldn't do that, baring in mind they sell pineapple fritters, I was told that the pineapple rings are frozen and thaw out when the fritters are cooked. Am I expecting to much for them to figure out if they put a frozen pineapple ring on the grill with the burgers it will thaw out by the time the burgers are cooked. Their stupidity cost them a £30+ order. This place and especially the girls on the phone are going down hill rapidly

Great pub and fantastic team, especially Aaron!! The menu has great options for veggies which is always a plus ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

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.

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.

Lovely restaurant my son enjoyed his pancakes with syrup bacon and Nutella he said they were the best pancakes he's had and there so fluffy inside will be back again

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!

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

We heard they did a good Sunday roast, so decided to give them a try. Glad we did. The roast was fantastic. Proper home cooked food and not the precooked and reheated stuff a lot of the big chains serve up. We opted for the roast beef and the extra of cauliflower cheese with leaks and bacon and I highly recommend you try that as it was superb. Big thick slices of tender beef and nice roasties and an impressive range of veggies which consisted of parsnips, carrots, broccoli, swede and peas! Nothing is too much trouble for the staff. Best roast dinner i've had in apub for a very long time. We look forward to going back!

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.

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
