The best restaurants in Holland and Kirby Tendring East of England

Fantastic since new owners have been here!! Lovely staff lovely meals on offer.. enjoy eating in here..! Family friendly kids enjoy going in there...Thanks Guys really enjoy when I come down to visit my dad

the original british fish and chips freshly the best

The third time I have eaten there in the hope that it had improved. Food ok, however the noise from the bar & the swearing did not impress. It is not a place I would go for a special occasion or take a lady. The staff were pleasant but no one seemed to care about the language from the bar.

Just enjoyed the most delicious lunch at this lovely, friendly, cosy countryside cafe. Had to check twice that I am on the right page because we thought the previous reviewer might have been to a different eatery to us! Service was quick, friendly and the home-made food was first class. Prices very reasonable and servings generous. Jacket potatoes perfectly cooked, soft inside and crispy outside. Plenty of butter too. Delicious home made quiche. No blaring radio which was a joy and we brought home a delicious apricot and chocolate slice to enjoy later as the main course filled us up, Clean plates said it all. Thank you Orchard Cafe owner and staff.

Great food nice friendly atmosphere

Ordered a takeaway for 16 people. Order was ready for collection in a hour, it was spot-on, and everyone was very complimentary of their dishes. Dietary needs also catered for. Some of our group appreciated having a welcoming beer in the restaurant whilst they waited for collection. Highly recommend.

Great food quick delivery's and friendly staff. Best Chinese takeaway around here

Glass of merlot £8, sticky toffee pudding £9.25 both to much overpriced , food average

We chose this as somewhere for Sunday lunch, while on our way to Walton on the nase, lovely food, great service, though the pub was on the chilly side the fantastic plentiful roast made up for it. Will def go there again

Had a lovely lunch. Food exceptional. Lovely waitress Danielle who was very attentive. But I will say all the staff are helpful and friendly. Great place to go too.

had a pizza delivered and it was OK.. only ok because the pizza dough was a bit under as it was not cooked enough could be improved ..but overall OK.

We visited prior to booking to check that the menu was suitable for our dietary needs and tastes. As it is a busy holiday area and the weather was good we made a reservation for Friday 26th July. On arrival we were taken aback that the restaurant area was not set up. Just tables in disarray on a filthy dirty carpet. The bar server was pleasant and swiftly got our drinks. After that everything went downhill. We ordered Lamb chops but were told they were out of stock. Therefore the second choice of mixed grill was also not available.we then tried Chicken and Leek pie - none. In exasperation we said OK Fish and Chips - sorry none! How can a pub with food not have stock of basics at the start of probably one of the weekends that would be the busiest, especially as we had booked? We asked twice for the manager "Kim" to come and talk to us and said we were prepared to wait but twice she refused. Absolutely disgraceful way to treat customers and terrible to leave her staff to deal with her inadequacy. Never ever will we go again.

Terrible, the worst halep kebab I have ever had and the most expensive. It’s supposed to come in a specially prepared tomato sauce which is usually thick, rich and tangy with the odd slice of mushroom and green pepper. What little sauce there was in this one was watered down tasteless tomato which turned the sliced pitta to mush in the bottom of the tray, no extras just watered down tomato, the meat wasn’t very nice either, thin, narrow strips. Horrible. Rip off. Won’t be going back.
