The best restaurants serving British food in St James Tendring East of England

Very tasty homemade turkey and ham pie and delicious cherry crumble. Excellent service..

Such a shame that the Toby have stopped peeling the potatoes. They are jacket spuds in gravy not roast spuds! Everything else is lovely but the most important part of a good roast is the spuds. You may be lucky and get the odd one that has been peeled and they are lovely. It’s the same every time. Such a lazy thing to do. A bit like all these restaurants at the moment not bothering to peel their chips and calling it rustic skin on chips! No you just have skipped peeling them! You cannot get away with whole potatoes though as the Toby now is. Totally does not taste like a roast spud. The thing is I don’t even think they can say oh it’s how we do them because there is the odd one that is peeled! Please sort this out. Every one around us was saying the same thing. All lovely apart from the weird pretend roast spuds. Staff as always are great. Its was not a one off thing either its been the same the last three visits. I had a carvery back in November and they were all peeled then. I just think I was very lucky.
