The best restaurants in Pier Tendring East of England

Average chips quility had better.

Fantastic food never had a bad meal! Front of house lady Kate is amazing and always friendly would highly recommend

Well what a strange place .You enter through a live amusement acrade. When you finally arrive you see this massive area with no atmosphere although the windows face the sea .We ordered the standard Sunday lunch which they mixed up the orders .Nothing worse than eating out of sequence with other diners . My fish and chips had no taste as the fish was frozen . It was empty and they still mixed up the service. The guy playing his guitar could play but as the place was empty we found ourselves shouting at each other. All in all we will never return to this restaurant.

My sister booked for her birthday as she had never been. We were a table of 13 an the table had been set with a happy birthday banner which was a nice touch. Took a while for us all to arrive however equally it took as long to have our drinks order taken. Cocktails although well priced they were lacking the taste of a nice cocktail. The server had spilt the table up into five different tables which meant the ordering cod be paid for individually which along with the banners is why I gave it a 3 star. The food however was lacking in care and attention. My surf and turf priced at 27.50 was a let down for the price. My very small prawns were undercooked when it arrived so sent both sets back to be rectified. My steak was cooked OK but the fat on the sirloin had not been rendered down, and along with the minimal amount of chips was very sad on such a large oval plate. The two very dismal looking deep fried button mushrooms were just greasy and the half grilled tomato was still hard and not cooked out, the instant pepper corn sauce was very over powerdery and was the last and only thing I could taste for many hours after. My partners chicken burger looked equally sad on portion size of chips etc. All in all for the price and the oddly lack laster atmosphere I would not return in a hurry. I do believe the breakfast is good, so I may review that in the distant future. The server was great, however in general the speed of drinks dispensed was very slow.

Sadly to say this is supposedly one of the best restaurants in Clacton is very misleading, my starter wasn’t available and then when my main came the veg was over cooked and the mash potato was lumpy and a horrible colour and very poorly presented, upon closer inspection around the restaurant there was lots of flys around and it is looking like it’s a little run down, when an elderly gentleman entered the restaurant the staff pounced on him and then kept sitting with him on his table before he could even order food, it made me wonder if I was eating in a “adult” venue the way they were pouncing on him

Food is top-notch fantastic cafe the waitresses are very complacent and been there a long time you take your life in your hands one day they are nice the next day they are miserable not happy at all just ok and goodbye my mum is in a care home in Clacton and I visit once a week a news Davies as the food is nice but staff not so good

Always go here when visit clacton best by far never go any other chippy well polite great atmosphere very big portions

The best fish I have ever eaten in my life, waiters, very good food, very good cleanliness, magnificent togolets, everything is perfect, the fish is very nice, everything is very nice.

Great to be back once again but have bad news from owner it's up for sale which is really disappointing but life will go on we hope

We visited this cafe/restaurant whilst visiting family in clacton. They use this lace a lot and we took them there for breakfast as they recommended it. We got a table straight away. We got the menus quickly, we ordered drinks and then our food. The waiting staff were all so friendly and polite. The food we had was very good, fresh and very hot. It was a good price for us all to have breakfast and drinks.

Old fashioned working class food Served piping hot and with huge helpings Steak pie a must Avoid the curry dishes Table service is friendly and efficient

Pub needs update there drcore as let down by walls In pub can have lot drinks there very tricky there too

Lovely GF fish and chips. Wait was 15 mins and I was told in advance and happy to wait as I was more comfortable it was GF. Would recommend

Since reopening and new ownership this place is so much better. Pie is yummy and staff are great :) I would say Tendering now have a good place to go for a decent pie and mash meal! They also do salt beef bagels (Although too expensive @ £7.50 they are delicious) A Must try if you are in clacton!

I absolutely adore jacos food is great lovely cup of tea the atmosphere is amazing every one talks to you the staff are so friendly and polite they should be proud of themselves I go in 2 to 3 times a week lovely place x
