The best restaurants in Tendring East of England

Lovely quick service, great food from sandwiches to mains very tasty. Best apple pie and custard I have had. Good atmosphere and very clean. Thank you. We will be back.

Friendly and helpful staff, yummy pizza ,thanks Sammy

I ordered a meal from this Chinese last night never again it was ridiculously salty all I could taste was salt and old chicken it was disgusting I will be asking for my money back and I certainly would never recommend it the worst takeaway I've ever had

Really nice food it was very hot and very fast service 😁

Amazing caravan park. Staff all lovely and the caravans are great. Very clean, give you all cooking equipment you would need etc. amazing value for money. Went with 3 of my friends and costs us £99 for 3 nights! Entertainment was amazing, it was more aimed towards children during the day/early night but about 9pm it was singing tributes which adults can enjoy too. Bar was expensive but it’s what you expect. The shop of sight was reasonable prices and had everything you would need. Food was lovely at the fish and chip shop. Only down side I would say is that I think the cheaper price you pay, your caravan will usually be far from the main area. Wasn’t too bad but would be useful to know if you have difficulty walking etc. close drive to the beach and pier.

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.

Thank you so much for sorting out 10 big pizzas to be collected at 11.30 today. Fantastic service again this year.

Kebab cold, chip tasted as they where nade hours previous. Will not be using again. Shame, had enjoyed previously.

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.

We've been using tasty now for ages it's a very good take away some dishes are unusual to say the least but on the whole it's fabulous value always fresh very tasty and the service is brilliant given that most of the Chinese take aways in Harwich have shot up in price Tasty has remained realistic keep it up we'll be back soon

The food took ages to come. The place is packed all the time and can never get a seat. Finally got a table outside and was surrounded by sea gulls the hole time. The sea gulls stole food from our plates twice! So definitely do not eat outside. Again, the food took ages , 3 of us went for dinner they delivered 2 meals together and only got the 3rd meal about 25 minutes later. The wait was not worth it. The food was clearly rushed and not good tasting either.

OUR FIRST ORDER Ordered a mixed donor and chicken shish last night and the food was absolutely lovely. Will be ordering from here from now on. Lost a star bcos we got 2 pots of mayo instead of 1 mayo and 1 chilli sauce, was gutted as I love chilli on my food but will just emphasise on the chilli sauce next time.

Pizza arrived cold. Sparse toppings Tasted horrible

We go to Chilvers regularly. A very friendly service. Order in advance and collect. Excellent quality.
