The best restaurants serving British food in Ardleigh and Little Bromley Tendring East of England

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.

Was recommended to me and my family, I'll start with best bits, service was good and staff polite, atmosphere ok. Out of 6 adults and 3 children, my sons chicken was inedible and very dry, therefore he never ate it, and my chicken was hard and rubbery and bacon was basically all fat, so was left on plate....I had to stock up on my children's leftovers! I'm not one to complain and I did tell them at the table it was inedible and my brother in Law's girlfriend was the one who recommended them, so was a bit embarrassing.

Had a lovely meal this evening. Great food very friendly staff. We also went back in July to celebrate my 70th birthday again very good food enjoyed by everyone. Also staff very polite and efficient helped made my day special. Thankyou

I always take my Nan here on a weekend when I visit her. She is in a care home just up the road with severe dementia and this is the only place I feel safe taking my Nan, as I know everyone is so lovely and understand the situation. They are patient whilst she decides what she'd like, friendly with her and chatty when she is in the mood and so so kind. It is the only place I will go now for lunch with Nan, I cannot thank the team here enough, incredible food, great value for money and the best customer service I've experienced I can honestly say. Thank You all so much x

Ate at the Swan yesterday and ordered the Pork Belly. It was definitely sub-standard. There was hardly any meat, the fat was not rendered, the crackling was limp and inedible and the broccoli, ordered as a side, was cold and overcooked. However, the gravy was good and so was the mash. We have eaten at the Swan many times and usually have no complaints, so perhaps yesterday they were just having an off day but still, I would not recommend this dish.
