The best restaurants serving British food in Tendring East of England

We had such a lovely meal in a great atmosphere and very friendly staff. The food was excellent as usual we would highly recommend to anyone.

Came on Sunday with my girlfriend for a roast, and it was amazing. One of the best Sunday lunch’s we’ve had; definitely will be returning. Staff were lovely and service was brilliant.

never been before but will make a return, very easy to see why the court house were winners of the 4 in a bed show, got chatting to the very friendly owner and we were made to feel very welcome.

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

Excellent pie & mash. Not had better anywhere else that been to. Great service. Very efficient & friendly staff. Can't be beaten I'm my opinion

Takeaway Fish been good lately have fish nearly every week from here sometimes overcooked but lately good,had curry sauce last week normally good but it was awful, vile so won't have know more normally has been good so why not keep it that way, such a waste of money, just get it right no excuses !!!

We cannot rate this pub/restaurant highly enough! The food was excellent, huge portions and absolutely delicious. We all agreed the roast dinners were some of the best we have EVER had in a pub. Six of us visited as a family to celebrate my youngest adult son’s birthday. The service from the staff was superb, friendly and kind, particularly special for us as a family as both my sons have autism. My youngest is non-verbal but they treated him with kindness and went the extra mile, cooking him his favourite scampi and chips meal, even though it wasn’t on the Sunday lunch menu, and finding him a favourite Granny Smith apple for dessert. The desserts we had had were scrumptious too! We will be back and thanks to everyone for helping to make the day special.

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

Absolutely delighted to see dukes back up and running with fab decor ,great menu and lovely staff ,totally worth a visit. Was extremely busy so glad we had booked.

We happened upon this cafe during a bike ride and stopped for lunch. The beans on toast, a full English and veggie chilli were all really tasty. We decided to return the next morning for breakfast and, between the three of us, enjoyed both types of pancakes (the berry option and the bacon option) and salmon and scrambled eggs. Staff were friendly and food was good. No kids menu that we could see but I think they’d have offered a smaller portion if we’d asked for it. Not local but if staying in the area again we’d definitely return.

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

An absolute gem of a place. Lovely staff and gorgeous food. Staff are so welcoming, and the place is spotless. I took my friend yesterday, after the anniversary of the death of her husband. She said it was lovely to see so many happy people enjoying food with family and friends. I highly recommend!

We stayed for one night in our tent. The facilities were great - clean and tidy washing facilities and roomy pitches. The pub staff are very friendly. We had an evening meal which was superb. The tapas portions were large and delicious and quite refined. We also had fish and chips super fresh and light crispy batter.
