The best restaurants in East of England

Great facilities and great people to deal with

the most expensive item on the menu was sirloin steak £15. I do not believe any other item on the menu exceeded £ 10 and its a big choice menu. the service was quick and attentive. the food was well displayed on the plates . the restaurant/cafe was clean and neat. a good place to go to eat.

We visited for a family party in the Pool Bar. The staff were lovely and couldn’t do enough. The food was really nice and most importantly the toilets were spotless. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Fabulous Sunday lunch - tasty food, generous portions and relatively inexpensive - great value for money. Whilst the meat and veg had loads of flavour the gravy was the pièce de résistance - delicious. Oh, and the Guinness ain't bad either!

The service and overall quality of this restaurant made for a great dining experience. Our group of golfers will definitely return.

Popped in for a late lunch. Had a lovely meal - piping hot and tasty. Great range of food in the menu and very reasonably priced. Lovely staff - smiley and friendly

Rubino Kitchen On Saturday we made a long overdue return to Rubino Kitchen. I’m delighted to say it was our best visit to date as we enjoyed a fabulous tasting menu created by chef / owner Rob. We were also looked after superbly by Sophie. The restaurant is on the Inworth Road just a ten minute drive from junction 23 on the A12. When we arrived Sophie was there to greet us warmly before seating us at our table. At this point Rob came out for a chat and to welcome us back. For the menu which is designed so you can either have A la Carte or create your own tasting menu. This gives you the opportunity to have as many dishes as you like as well as this there also the choice of a set three course lunch menu. We decided to opt for the offer from Rob to have a surprise tasting menu. We started with a Chicken and Leek Terrine which was followed by Rabbit Agnolotti , Baked Scallops , Braised Beef with Horseradish Risotto and Haddock. Then it was time for desserts. Here we enjoyed the delicious Lemon Tart , Custard Tart and the Biscoff Cheesecake. We finished with a coffee before heading into the kitchen where we could personally thank Rob and the team for a great afternoon. There is no doubt in my mind when I say I would recommend a visit to Rubino Kitchen which is one of the best restaurants in Essex. Thank You all for a fabulous afternoon and look forward to seeing you all again soon.

Great service, genuine warm welcome, friendly staff and cocktails that were amazing, not watered down like a lot of bottomless branch establishments now days. A definite place for ladies what lunch!

Excellent roast lamb with vegetables. Have had roast chicken before which was also tip top. Great staff, great location, great food.

Very accommodating as there were 13 of us for Sunday lunch. Nothing was too much trouble. Staff friendly. Food was lovely. Will definitely be visiting again

Fantastic service, food and atmosphere yet again. We swapped our booking to an earlier time, we arrive and were welcomed along with our 2 hounds! Food amazing, plates overflowing, a proper roast.

Be aware. The pastry-chef wife and her bantering husband, who deservedly got such great reviews, have now retired. The place has been taken over by two friendly guys who are doing their best. But the pastries/cakes are now bought-in and they are even considering serving Sushi and other Asian delights. I wish them luck ...... but it is NOT the same experience.

Since reopening and new ownership this place is so much better. Pie is yummy and staff are great :) I would say Tendering now have a good place to go for a decent pie and mash meal! They also do salt beef bagels (Although too expensive @ £7.50 they are delicious) A Must try if you are in clacton!

Very nice food amzing people and lovely service and will use often

Great food fair prices good service friendly staff owner/chef nice atmosphere we have been eating here at various times for the last 10 years and we have never had cause to complain
