The best restaurants in Tendring East of England

Does what it says on the tin. You get what you pay for - the place could do with a good deep clean and a coat of paint, and it smells a bit musty and dusty. But the linens and towels were clean, the shower hot with good water pressure and the bed comfortable - a perfectly adequate place to spend the night if you want to catch the ferry in the morning.

I have noticed a few 'cool' reviews about Chivers fish and chips. My wife and I had take out f&c again last Friday. As on previous occasions it didn't disappoint. The fish was cooked perfectly and the batter just right. Coupled with the friendly service and reasonable prices, we will be using Chivers again.

Food was terrible. Greasy, lack of flavour, meat dishes filled with 80% veg. Crispy beef tasted like it had been re heated. Binned the lot

I’m absolutely livid. I’ve ordered from here through Just Eat a few times. Twice the food hasn’t even arrived, once the drink was spilt all over the food. They now owe me about £50. McDonald’s won’t help, they keep saying it’s Just eat’s problem but Just eat won’t help. They promised a refund and I never got it. I never have trouble with any other restaurant through just eat so it’s clearly the McDonalds responsibility. I’m so angry.

I love this store, the staff are friendly, and so helpful, in what l need in the store. I love the home wear and clothes. And the meat is very good too. I don't live in clacton, but when there l always make a bee line to asda, and take thing home with me, for my flat

We visited prior to booking to check that the menu was suitable for our dietary needs and tastes. As it is a busy holiday area and the weather was good we made a reservation for Friday 26th July. On arrival we were taken aback that the restaurant area was not set up. Just tables in disarray on a filthy dirty carpet. The bar server was pleasant and swiftly got our drinks. After that everything went downhill. We ordered Lamb chops but were told they were out of stock. Therefore the second choice of mixed grill was also not available.we then tried Chicken and Leek pie - none. In exasperation we said OK Fish and Chips - sorry none! How can a pub with food not have stock of basics at the start of probably one of the weekends that would be the busiest, especially as we had booked? We asked twice for the manager "Kim" to come and talk to us and said we were prepared to wait but twice she refused. Absolutely disgraceful way to treat customers and terrible to leave her staff to deal with her inadequacy. Never ever will we go again.

Very good shop and friendly staff

As always excellent service, good hot food. Andrew and Tina make this Toby special. Always a friendly welcome. The view overlooking the sea is a bonus.

Tried the Lock and Barrel for lunch today after a long walk from Walton but due to the poor quality food, we will not be returning. I chose the burger which was extremely salty and seemed to have been made with very poor quality meat. I tried eating it but after a few mouthfuls, I couldn’t cope with the taste or texture and left most of my meal. My partner had the prawn linguini which he said was ok and contained plenty of prawns so I think he chose the better option. The table behind us also sent back their jacket potatoes as they were not hot. Despite several disgruntled customers, the staff remained pleasant and were extremely helpful and deducted the cost of my meal from our bill. They also offered the table behind us a free drink. Frinton has lots of eateries and based on our experience today, I would recommend trying one of those instead of the Lock and barrel.

Table table at Bowling Green is simply convenient. Sadly it lacks appeal in many respects. Their prices are reasonable but most definitely match the bland presentation and poor service. We chose to pop in as it was getting late following a hospital appointment. The service was painfully slow and may have been caused by understaffing. The meal, as mentioned was adequate, but totally lacked any presentation skill. Finally the decor and general ambience of the place remains tired and lacking in general upkeep. The decor is badly in need of TLC and the carpets are threadbare and sticky underfoot.

A nice and organised place to buy food.

Had a lovely lunch with my other half, good friendly staff, well done 😁
