The best restaurants in Tendring East of England

A regular purchaser. Never had many issues that a worthwhile complaing regarding the pizza. One main issue is delivery time. Over an hour on a few occasions. When calling the same reply it's on its way, no apology. Wouldn't put anyone off overall the pizzas are lovely.!

Fantastic atmosphere really enjoyed our Sunday afternoon live dj outside fantastic fish and chip shop staff were really friendly 👌

One of the best Doners I have had and a best place to hangout with friends. Especially Sakshi and Anjali were very good with their service. Their patience and way of approach towards the customers was exceptional.

Extrordinarily expensive, they wanted £7 for a 250 ml bottle of cheap rose wine, I questioned this and decided to go elsewhere, very expensive place

Needed somewhere to eat on Sunday night, and everything we tried was "Kitchen Closed" except for this place. It's down a narrow side street, but easy to find as it's very well lit. It was absolutely empty and stayed that way except for us. Staff were friendly, and the food was amazing. we were not disappointed with our food at all. We would eat here again.

Big menu, lots to choose. But got set seafood meal, share for 2 at the end. Best decision! Food was delicious and fresh. The portions were more than enough.

Great pub for a pint. Staff & Landlord all excellent. Good choice of beer. Beer garden in summer ideal. Food including Sunday roast amazing. Really recommend.

Fresh food, great quality, reasonably priced. Check your order, as sometimes an item gets missed out of the order in error. When this happened, we have been reimbursed.

Fantastic fish and chips - we ordered and paid online (easy and completely hassle-free) and we arrived a few minutes early and our order was made up there and then. The fish is really fresh and it has been cooked in fresh, clean oil, which allows you to taste all the flavour of the fish. And the chips are great, too!

Great fish and chips! Dined in the restaurant and came back again for a takeaway as it was so nice! Best fish and chips we had in the area.

Was recommended this cafe by the Tea Rooms in Mistley, which are not open on a Thursday. Great recommendation, both the wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our breakfasts, nice size portions and served hot. Staff were very pleasant and friendly. Will definitely be back.

Ohhh Valley farm WHAT MAKES YOU BEAUTIFUL ? The ents team have improved 100% since last year and it won't DRAG ME DOWN. Keeping the crowd in the room with entertainment, great with the kids all have fantastic voices when singing No more forcing people to do trip advisors and kicking out the door at 10pm with late night the hub mustic. Oh how the NIGHT CHANGES. Activies are worth it alone for the one on one customer service . Adam did spray tie Dye with a big group. Lottie with squishies building was able to get everyone the right plush even with the limited stock Kc with painting figures got everyone prepped and ready super fast and we had a lack of sitting around waiting was able to speak to each table evenly and super friendly.. PERFECT We saw them all on stage including CHLOE throughout this week. RIGHT NOW, they make YOU&I feel like the only one in the room I can't wait to see the ABBA Show and watch the team sing the BEST SONG EVER The only reason to visit valley farm is the entertainment team! Give me a month and I'll return ! 18*

After choosing Chinese for our movie night. We went to mayflower. Partner ordered off the set menu (A) I ordered crispy chilli beef and beef chow mein. Beef chow mein was very under cooked had to phone to ask for new one to be delivered disrupting our dinner together. Rice from set menu was hard and definitely not cooked enough. Partner then after a couple hours started suffering from very bad food poisoning. I'm guessing due to the chow mein. AVOID AT ALL COSTS.

Heerlijk geslapen in een kamer met eigen badkamer. In de bar de hartstikke leuke zwarte retriever, genaamd Bella, ontmoet. Ze zat heel gezellig op een barkruk. Helaas geen ontbijt. Dan maar aan boord van de Stena Line gegeten.

This is a back handed review as I’m extremely let down and would not return if it wasn’t for a particular member of staff. I have followed from the olive tree and was excited to hear the vine tree opening, I have since been in a few times to the new vine tree and the last time I arrived with friends for lunch. The food was fabulous and the cafe itself is lovely plenty of seating, the biggest problem was the staff. The lady serving front of house is rude, she never smiles, times before I’ve been in she will speak her language to her friends in front of customers making people feel awkward, this particular visit with my friends(group of 6) was the final straw when we witnessed her eating behind the counter chomping with her mouth wide open whilst we were trying to eat! She is incredibly rude when taking orders, she doesn’t seem to be very tolerable of children as we saw a couple go in with their child and the child was very happy saying hello to the lady and she quite literally ignored the child. She also pulls faces and rolls her eyes when you’re trying to tell her your food order. There is a lovely young man that comes in and out from the back he is very chatty happy and extremely attentive to the customers, he spoke to us and made time for us to check if the food was okay (something the waitress at front didn’t do) after us, he also went round checking other tables and seemed to make everyone laugh and bring a much happier pleasant energy to the cafe. I’m unsure how the roles in the cafe work and who does what but whoever the young man was I really hope to see him more regularly as he seems to be the saving grace of the cafe! Along with the good food. It is a shame to see how down hill the staffing is going, the lady was at the olive tree and always felt awkward there, however it has dramatically gotten worse! I will be returning as the prices of the cafe are very good and the quality of food I am always satisfied with, I just hope to see more friendly staff, as there is an older generation that mainly spend money in the cafe (myself being one of them) sometimes us oldies want a little chat and a nice smile to brighten our days! If we cannot get that then the least I would expect from any food venue is good manners. Thankyou to the young man.
