The best restaurants in Tendring East of England

By far the best fish and chips we've ever had! The guy serving was amazing. Thank you so much.

Such a lovely restaurant! The service was brilliant, and food came out rather quickly. Food is all reasonably priced and delicious!

Lovely food as always 😋 very helpful lady on the till who saved my life as I fancied a crispy spring roll but due to allegies I didnt realise it had an allergen in it and had to be made to order. Thankyou all!

Great place to relax and enjoy a drink. Whole place was spotlessly clean with imaginative decor. Staff were friendly and the place has a cool vibe , will be going back soon.

What they don't tell schools on educational visits, is they don't accept kids debit cards. Not sure if it's they don't accept Mastercard. 🤔

Great service, helpful staff and great food

No real ale on draft. Beaverton neck oil on keg at £6.60 a pint. Food is basic but large portions.

Firstly, i have to say, i have just come on here to leave a review and i am shocked at some of the previous reviews. My wife and i have just returned home from a wonderful evening at The Mayflower. This isn't our first time here but i forgot to leave a review the last time, but this time this place blew us away and i had to. The food and service this evening was top drawer, Jack and Pheobe were rushed off their feet this evening, but handled the restaurant like true professionals with a constant smile on their faces and a professionalism that would put other restaurants to shame. I am only sorry i couldn't meet the chefs and thank them too, as the food was out of this world. This is without doubt THE chinese eat in restaurant in the Clacton/Holland area. Thank you so much guys, we will be returning again and again.

Lovely Sunday dinner roast beef full works, lovely staff can’t wait to back for another Sunday roast, very cheap

We had some relatives from Devon with their dog visiting the area and needed to find a decent dog friendly place to eat. I contacted The Ship, and they advised me that they were very dog friendly, so we booked a table for lunchtime. Because of the dog, we were given a table in the bar area with a hard floor, which was understandable. The pub/ restaurant was fairly busy, but it didn't really impact on the service, especially as there were just 2 staff members serving. The meals were well presented, plentiful and hot, and served with a smile. Two of us had whitebait main meals, one had grilled cod, and the other had the chicken burger. Everything was nicely cooked and good quality and we all really enjoyed the food. Three of us had really nice desserts, and we all came away pleasantly full. Will we return? Definitely! Especially as we only live less than 10 miles away.

Was meant to be hot and the ice cream was melted and spilt on top of the box! And waited over a hour

Lovely italian night! 5 stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Food was amazing and i recommend the new chef! It featured a variety of Italian delights, each with its own distinct flavour. The crispy arancini were perfectly golden and crunchy, served in a flavourful tomato sauce that added just the right amount of tang. The prawns, nestled in a shell and smothered in a rich tomato sauce, were tender and cooked to perfection, delivering a burst of flavour with every bite. Alongside that, we had a delicious prosciutto-wrapped grissini that added a crunchy contrast to the meal. Each element on the plate was thoughtfully prepared, and it was clear that the chef had taken great care to present these classic Italian flavors in a modern and inviting way. Every bite was a delightful experience, rich in taste and texture.

So my mum wanted to stay near me at the hotel. Looked okay on arrival, the bedding smelled like fried food , didn't complain as EVERYTHING ,did include towels so didn't want to sniff all the Extra linen on site . The hallway light was on until 5am making it difficult to sleep . The windowsill was sticky , and the pillows also stank . We sprayed them with perfume then my mum had to leave a day early as not comfortable.
