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

The food from this little gem is really., really lovely and you really get your moneys's worth and the ladys's that work there are so friendly. a must try if your down old road

Amazing place, good quality food, good size potions, first class service. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED. seated upstairs too...

Well what a strange place .You enter through a live amusement acrade. When you finally arrive you see this massive area with no atmosphere although the windows face the sea .We ordered the standard Sunday lunch which they mixed up the orders .Nothing worse than eating out of sequence with other diners . My fish and chips had no taste as the fish was frozen . It was empty and they still mixed up the service. The guy playing his guitar could play but as the place was empty we found ourselves shouting at each other. All in all we will never return to this restaurant.

The best fish I have ever eaten in my life, waiters, very good food, very good cleanliness, magnificent togolets, everything is perfect, the fish is very nice, everything is very nice.

We visited this cafe/restaurant whilst visiting family in clacton. They use this lace a lot and we took them there for breakfast as they recommended it. We got a table straight away. We got the menus quickly, we ordered drinks and then our food. The waiting staff were all so friendly and polite. The food we had was very good, fresh and very hot. It was a good price for us all to have breakfast and drinks.

Old fashioned working class food Served piping hot and with huge helpings Steak pie a must Avoid the curry dishes Table service is friendly and efficient

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!

lovely food good old fashion pie mash liquor,shepherds pie,delicious homemade cooked food, kids meals available and wheelchair friendly.very clean, plenty seating a must to visit.

I've been going into roll models since it opened all the staff are lovely. The portions are very big. Very family friendly my kids love it. Under cover chips are amazing!!

Lovely food and great staff best shop I’ve been to highly recommend going here

Wife and I happen to park near here on day trip. We ended up getting a 'budget cod and chips' which was £6.50. Have to say it was the best fish and chips I've had in ages. The lady made the battered fish in front of me. The chips were tasty. I wish this shop wasn't 140 miles from home

Greàt food really enjoyed it great prices

First time for many years really looked forward to it but we were extremely disappointed, the service was brilliant but unfortunately the food was very very poor the burgers are definitely not the same as they were thick, chunky and to me and my wife tasted awful, and were very sloppy in texture,to the point of almost under cooked. For the price we paid I would expect better food, we have had better from a mobile burger van. definitely won't go to Wimpy in clacton again .

Great fish and chips! Dined in the restaurant and came back again for a takeaway as it was so nice! Best fish and chips we had in the area.

This is a back handed review as I’m extremely let down and would not return if it wasn’t for a particular member of staff. I have followed from the olive tree and was excited to hear the vine tree opening, I have since been in a few times to the new vine tree and the last time I arrived with friends for lunch. The food was fabulous and the cafe itself is lovely plenty of seating, the biggest problem was the staff. The lady serving front of house is rude, she never smiles, times before I’ve been in she will speak her language to her friends in front of customers making people feel awkward, this particular visit with my friends(group of 6) was the final straw when we witnessed her eating behind the counter chomping with her mouth wide open whilst we were trying to eat! She is incredibly rude when taking orders, she doesn’t seem to be very tolerable of children as we saw a couple go in with their child and the child was very happy saying hello to the lady and she quite literally ignored the child. She also pulls faces and rolls her eyes when you’re trying to tell her your food order. There is a lovely young man that comes in and out from the back he is very chatty happy and extremely attentive to the customers, he spoke to us and made time for us to check if the food was okay (something the waitress at front didn’t do) after us, he also went round checking other tables and seemed to make everyone laugh and bring a much happier pleasant energy to the cafe. I’m unsure how the roles in the cafe work and who does what but whoever the young man was I really hope to see him more regularly as he seems to be the saving grace of the cafe! Along with the good food. It is a shame to see how down hill the staffing is going, the lady was at the olive tree and always felt awkward there, however it has dramatically gotten worse! I will be returning as the prices of the cafe are very good and the quality of food I am always satisfied with, I just hope to see more friendly staff, as there is an older generation that mainly spend money in the cafe (myself being one of them) sometimes us oldies want a little chat and a nice smile to brighten our days! If we cannot get that then the least I would expect from any food venue is good manners. Thankyou to the young man.
