The best restaurants in Harwich East Tendring East of England

Best food van ever. Great food, reasonable prices, friendly staff. Highly recommended a visit when you’re in harwich.

Pure peng building crazy how big it is 😩 landscaping is cray cray the old dude did bits building it

Excellent service with smile and great food. I think it's best Thai food in Harwich. Can't with for my next trip to Harwich to come and eat.

A very traditional pub. Unfortunately the kitchen is being redone, therefore I was recommended to visit another place close by. Very friendly owner!

The Inn has undergone a thoughtless renovation of furniture and decor. The 2024 renovation had stocked the rooms with locally made furnishings from Simon Pearce and Pompanoosuc Mills. The current attempt at mid century modern is colorblind and insulting. The decorators failed to consider The College, installing Yale Blue headboards and bedding runners. The multicolored heads in the artwork over the couch are pandering to multi culturalism while failing to recognize that all of the heads are shaped like a patrician white man. It is embarrassing. There is one cute print of Kemeny’s car with a BADIC license plate, but the rest of it is decorated like a typical Homewood Suites now. The Inn itself remains otherwise lovely. The staff are kind and welcoming, the bed is comfortable despite its ugliness, and the location at Dartmouth College (Yhe Home of The Big GREEN - not BLUE!) remains perfect.

We cannot rate this pub/restaurant highly enough! The food was excellent, huge portions and absolutely delicious. We all agreed the roast dinners were some of the best we have EVER had in a pub. Six of us visited as a family to celebrate my youngest adult son’s birthday. The service from the staff was superb, friendly and kind, particularly special for us as a family as both my sons have autism. My youngest is non-verbal but they treated him with kindness and went the extra mile, cooking him his favourite scampi and chips meal, even though it wasn’t on the Sunday lunch menu, and finding him a favourite Granny Smith apple for dessert. The desserts we had had were scrumptious too! We will be back and thanks to everyone for helping to make the day special.

When we stood at the door, I wouldn't have gone in without Google Maps. It looked very small and cramped and seemed a bit like a bar only. However, when we did ask, we were sent to the back and up the stairs to end up in a really rustic, cozy guest room where other guests were already sitting and eating. The very friendly and helpful lady of the house was a little under the weather, but did her best to serve us quickly. We had three rump steaks with pepper sauce and a burger for the youngest. We were all wonderfully satisfied, it tasted really good. I had a bit of a lot of tendon with my piece of meat, but the other two steaks were flawless. It was a nice end to our vacation in England!

Six of us from all over the country met up in Harwich for the weekend. After finding some fantastic pubs we suddenly became hungry. We chanced upon Pieseas Chippy but it was near closing time and the staff were clearing up. Expecting to be turned away we asked if we could have 6 lots of fish and chips (with 4 mushy and 2 gravy). No problem, They were happy to oblige and cooked our order from fresh. The fish and chips were delicious! While waiting we had a great laugh with the lady doing the frying. She even got one of us to sing a sea shanty. Many thanks for looking after us and making us so welcome. We went on to have a brilliant weekend and left the old town with fond memories.

We were there singing for the charity. The Pier was a great watering hole. Go there you will love it

Friendly staff. Good position but Not good value. Baguette stale. Prawns without any sauce. Paper plates and cups with wooden knives

On our first visit to a charming pub for my birthday, we were greeted with a warm and welcoming atmosphere right from the moment we stepped inside. Not knowing what to expect, we shared a delightful mackerel pate, fresh and homemade, accompanied by bread and black olives—plenty for the two of us. For my main course, I chose the fish and chips, while my husband enjoyed a sea bass crab and lobster risotto. For dessert, we indulged in an apple and peach crumble with custard and an almond tart served with ice cream. The total bill came to £67, and as a careful spender, I can confidently say it was worth every penny. The food was extraordinarily fresh, the service was impeccable, and the staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Overall, it was an excellent dining experience.

Without fail, always a fantastic meal here, great service.. lovely people, amazing food.
