The best restaurants in Tendring East of England

Disgusting. No customers in today and I now know why. Customer service non existent. Dirty tables. Avoid like the plague. Walk a bit further and go to Flags best beach cafe in Clacton

Really enjoyed our visit - the tower is amazing with differing art and craft displays on every floor, which breaks the climb up the 111 spiral metal stairways . Amazing view from the top. Cafe has an outside shepherds hut servery, with hot menu items prepared in the tower and served outside or on first two floors cafe seating. Super friendly staff.

Woman’s attitude on phone was horrendous and then a man came and called a c*** on the phone. Don’t recommend

My friend booked a table for 3 over the phone. We have been before but not since Covid, recommended by a friend who was a ‘regular’ and lives in the village, none of us will be back. I noticed there was another reservation on our table and queried this with the guy behind the counter who confirmed yes our table was only reserved for us for 90 minutes. Nothing was said when the table was booked over the phone, this isnt stated on either your website or your menu, there is a reference to it on your Facebook page in March this year however I would not consider that to be all over your social media as the waitress told us, to be told all our regulars know and many places are the same is just rubbish, we meet for lunch regularly and we have never had any time constraints anywhere! Both my son and myself work in hospitality and would never dream of speaking to a customer with the tone and with the rudeness that the lady who ‘served’ us did…..it was defensive and unapologetic. We finished our coffee and left, we went 10 minutes down the road and the welcome and hospitality we received could not have been more different.

Thank you for accommodating my booking for 6 of us today 18th December 2023 apologies if we were a bit noisey 🙄 the food, drink and service was all good. L👀king to return in the new year, Happy Xmas to you both you ladies at the potato shack. Peter C

I wanted a cooked breakfast but have to eat gluten free because of coeliac disease. Initially it looked like the only option was a cold sandwich, then the chef came to speak to me and offered to cook my food separately on foil under the grill. It was delicious and I'm really grateful for her efforts to accommodate me.

Visited today for the first and last time, Very rude and stroppy waitress young girl with a French plait disgusting service would not recommend!

Some friends recommended Killicks to us, we were not disappointed! 4 adults and 5 rowdy kids but the staff were great and looked after all of us. The food kept the kids quiet and all were happy. Adults meals were great, Nachos to start was brilliant, between us we had Ribs, Chicken Burger and a beef Burger and all were spot on! Thank you we will definitely be back

So i swear hands down the double beef burger was like meaty and nice bap. You get loads off fries to. Nice and hot. Nice friendly staff and after that i went to 4 diffrent pubs to get some nice beers to wash it all down with….lols…

Pop in every Thursday morning for breakfast before I go to my course. This week had bubble and squeak with poached egg and slice of toast and coffee. Excellent bubble tasty poached egg and great coffee. This cafe is putting the others in clacton to shame. Not surprised it gets busy. Lovely ladies who always welcome me warmly. My favourite cafe 💕

Stopped in for a coffee and a burger while walking along the prom. Wonderful view, good value, and one of the best burgers we’ve ever had!

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.

For anyone visiting Clacton-on-sea & fancying a nice quiet snack & drink - look no further than the West Cliff Theatre bar. Breakfast before noon & soups, sandwiches, cakes, paninis, jacket potatoes & specials are available until 16.30. Soft drinks, hard drinks, teas, coffees - you will find what you want. Enjoy!

Cannot recommend highly enough. Always amazing quality and service; we try to go at least once a week. The drinks selection is fantastic and no matter what's on offer that day, I've never been disappointed with the baked goods (unless I didnt get there quickly enough for something particular!). Jus' Desserts also recently made our wedding cake and cupcakes for 100 guests on incredibly short notice, with options for vegans and those gluten-free. They were all beautiful, and I can't tell you how many people were sneaking them out to take home. Definitely pay a visit, you won't find a place like it anywhere else.
