The best restaurants in Manningtree, Mistley, Little Bentley and Tendring Tendring East of England

This van is worth stopping at. Great fried egg sandwich and delicious coffee. Lovely man serving! You can sit and enjoy the view of the estuary!

Superb wholefood store…. a pearl in the high street. High quality products including biodynamic veg; Fresh and tasty. Bread superb! The whole food ethos here is strong, modest and unpretentious. All the best to you.

I’ve used Pizza Place a fair bit including tonight. They’re just brilliant pizzas with me and my lad having the new version with Brie, added a few bits and we had a great meal. Worth adding the delivery driver (great online ordering BTW) Derek, is an absolute legend!!

Lovely decor, Sunday lunch was good but spoilt by under cooked roast potatoes, all were hard and unpalatable. Roasties are so easy to do great shame.

Great place for a drink. Awesome quiz nights and social events. Lovely local!

Called to place my order, explained I was coming from about 20 minutes away. Turned up 17 minutes later and they were just starting to bag it up. Panang was outstanding, the coconut rice compliments it perfectly and was a great combination. The satay we ordered was great for us both. I like a satay spiced chicken but not saucey. Wife likes a saucey satay and she tells me the sauce was incredible. Will 100%, be eating here again. Probably this week, maybe tomorrow!

The Bicycle is consistently fabulous in every way. Menu uses very fresh seasonal food, presented beautifully and tasting top notch. The wine menu is carefully curated and Brian will explain the characteristics of a good wine to pair with our food choice. The welcome from Kerry, Brian and their staff is always genuine and warm. Restaurant atmosphere is very customer-focused and comfortable. I highly recommend The Bicycle for high quality, variety and everything I hope a good restaurant experience would be. Don't forget to book a taxi to get home .... then simply relax and enjoy.

Coffee and cake after walking the Essex way. Lovely views

The pub is run by an old lady who likes a nice chat. It is a real English pub. Great food. You can spend the night here with your camper in the parking lot when you come or go to or from the Ferry in Harwich.

Medium cod was pitiful.. glad I didn't go small... I'm fact I'm crying and feel ripped off. The battered sausage was bigger.. gutted

Great cafe on the Homestead Lake campsite. We had a breakfast and two lunches there. The home made turkey and mushroom pie was lovely as were the omelettes. We also tried the apple crumble and cherry crumble – both very nice. We missed out on Fish and Chip Friday as we did not book. They also do Roasts on a Sunday but we didnt get a chance to try them but going by the other food served, I am sure it will be good the next time we visit the campsite. Well worth a visit.

Not only was the food below average there whole attitude towards a customer with special needs was an absolute disgrace myself and my family and friends will never out of principle use them again it was disgusting to experience and they should be ashamed of them shelves no wonder it is not as busy as it was and as I said the food was well below average soggy and only luke warm a total waste of money and a upsetting experience

The experience is second to none. The food is awesome.. and well priced... I have lived in Mistley Manningtree since 2006 and always used this beautiful venue, i have never had a bad time there, so long may that continue... When Andy Dean was manager, 6/7 years ago, he made me a VIP customer.. lol.. RIP Andy Dean 🙏🏿

I totally recommend this restaurant to everyone and anyone in the area it has great food and great service you could not ask for more.

Excellent short stay at the Crown. Accommodation very comfortable clean and tidy. Good value for money. Food was very tasty and well presented. Libby the manager was very welcoming and professional. Staff were very helpful especially Charlotte. Definitely be back. Steve and Sue Griffiths.
