The best restaurants serving British food in Brightlingsea Tendring East of England

Stopped at The Rosebud for a late lunch on a day out in Brightlingsea, what a find! Good food, generous portions and friendly staff. Will be back.

Delicious food, lovely atmosphere, great staff and a yummy New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc at great prices. We recommend it.

Great always… been eating fish and chips here for 10+ years. Shannon is always a joy polite and very welcoming. Great variety with plenty of Fresh fish

We visited brightlingsea today. On arrival we went straight to get lunch. Food was a good price and delicious. We had loaded fries and panini and my son had sausage and chips. We later returned and brought buckets and spades, bait for crabbing, more drinks and ice creams throughout the day. After regularly using them throughout day for refreshments we asked if we could have some boiled water to fill a flask for my 5 week old baby for his bottle and they charged us for boiled water! This I feel is disgusting. The café was heaving all day and they must of made a killing but to charge for boiled water has angered me and truly made me think twice about using this café again as I think that is greedy.

Perfect location for a cocktail in the sun. Service was exceptional and friendly. Cocktail was to die for. Enjoyed our drinks we booked the next day for breakfast. Food was hot, fresh & tasty. Again superb service from another team of staff. Such a happy place to be.

First time to Brightlingsea, decided to come here for a drink and possibly stay for food. I stood at the bar and waited while the bar maid was showing a group of men something on her phone, she looked at me and then carried on with her phone! There were only a handful of people in there, obviously regulars so I was of no interest to the bar maid. This was on September 2nd at approximately 5pm. So unfortunately I walked back outside to my friend and we left. Will not be returning. Never felt so uncomfortable in my life.

A unique place to sit because of the location alongside the steam trains, but if you like good coffee you will be very disappointed.

Big breakfast and excellent quality!

Just called in for a takeaway, all freshly cooked

A pub is always the centre of a local community and the D&P is a beating heart of Myland. I would recommend our local to anyone. Aaron the assistant manager is a diamond in the rough. Smart, helpful and insightful to how a community pub should be run. Pete and Liz are fantastic too.
