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.

This was the first time visiting The Wooden Fender for me, and it certainly didn't disappoint. I would absolutely recommend the Salt Marsh Lamb Sunday roast, it was to die for!! The service was very good and the staff are very attentive. Overall, a very enjoyable experience..well done The Wooden Fender a very well deserved 5 stars from me.

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

Fabulous pub & restaurant! Great choice of food, beautiful location, brilliant service & good value, too! Definitely worth a visit 👍
