The best restaurants in Tendring East of England

Great food and excellent choice, staff friendly and welcoming, I think best cafe for miles without draining your pockets.

A few months back the Three Jays had new management , he has transform the pub utterly, warm,friendly ,most welcoming,but the prize and jewel in the crown,must be the food on offer, truly mind blowing , people go to the big chain restaurants , yet the food on offer is not a patch on the food at the three Jays. You could almost say just like Mum used to make. Veg fresh favourable , roast potato’s so tasty, nice crispy skin,texture , the meat was outstanding so tender , not paper thin again like the big chains offer. Gravy was really tasty made the meal even more extra. Price was another key , not over priced , A restaurant within a truly great public house. So no need to what for further reviews, go on book a meal NOW, I’ve seen their Christmas food list,mind blowing .

Absolutely brilliant very nice place to eat only stop for a cup of tea. Really enjoyed the food

A good selection of sandwiches & cakes, & not the cheapest place. A BIG thumbs down as it is CARD only, hence the 1 star rating. We should always have the option of cash!! I will not be returning!!

great fish and chips shop .i got rock which could not always get ,cook fresh ,chips great best fish and chips we had for a long time staff really friendly as well ,if on holiday go their great service x

Went to buy a bed ordered through them then they had one on display cheaper. Asked if we could have that as they originally said they did not have any in stock. When we complained the owner and his wife got rude and cancelled our order. I would never use them again. Found a better place up at stansted called you’re furnished much better quality and a lot cheaper. AVOID FORD BARNS at al cost as there plain rude

An amazing place to get a Chinese meal from. The staff are wonderful and the food is delicious and quick to collect. They've now become our new go-to Chinese takeaway! Thank you and see you all soon.

If allowed i would have given this place a zero. Worst place I've ever been to. Not family friendly. ..customers sticking their tongues down each other throats in front of young kids and older ppl. Person in charge/manager/owner pretty much laugh in my face when I ask him to speak to them and further told me its a public place and the customers are longterm customers. Not for people of colour as you will be treated as 2 class citizen by owner/manager or whoever is in charge. The food was very bland and cheap quality too.

Nice little cafe friendly staff nice portions of the breakfast nice coffee can get really busy good selection on the menu only down side is cash only and catering sausages I would pay £1 more for a good pork sausage

I look forward to visiting Harwich just to have a meal from here, its the first thing i do when i arrive.

This was really good value pizza. We had a large pizza and a chicken wrap and chips. The food was really tasty. The staff were friendly and food was served quick.

Overpriced on the cod and chips portion was small and frozen chips from a bag fish was ok should have gone somewhere else.

Met great friends here with local knowledge -I was told to expect delicious food with eccentric ambiance. Loved the food- I had fish pasta with avocado and beetroot salad, and followed with excellent Banoffee pie and Espresso. Michelle, daughter of the chef provided excellent service, charm with added wit! I will return bringing my husband next time.

Staff were so helpful & friendly, dogs were allowed in the back room & given water & sausages. Food is cooked fresh, tastes lovely and the prices are very reasonable

The food at the Ocean diner is filling, large and tasteful. In a whole it complimented for Clacton Piers poor experience. It is basic food but at least it is fresh and filling!
