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

Nice, clean and friendly very helpful. Food tasty and nice to see lots of variety. We don’t all like the traditional . Glad to see them back after they left lakeside.

I wanted to introduce my daughter in law's parents to Chloe's. They have just moved to Ipswich but came to see me today in Brantham. We just wanted a quick lunch after a chilly shopping morning. Us 2 ladies had a lovely home made fish pie, there were plenty of prawns and a lot of other fish in a very tasty sauce. It was served with roasted diced potatoes, a nicely browned potatoes on top and fresh vegetables. The individual dish with a nicely browned mash potatoes on top. It was served in a very hot individual oval dish, which was presented piping hot which always pleases me. Our vegetarian friend had a tuna and sweet corn panini, salad chips and home made coleslaw. I enjoyed a fruit smoothie, and the others had peppermint tea. From Ronnie

Encore coffee house has great tasting coffee and at great value compared to more well known brands. A friendly welcoming atmosphere and a great place to work or meet people. The food is freshly made on site and there's a great range of sandwiches, panini, jacket potatoes and soups. I'm egg and dairy free and they're always accommodating to make something if there isn't anything already available on the counter. Non-dairy milks available at no extra cost!

Looked for a dog friendly place for a cup of coffee on our day trip to Lyme. Located near the Cobb, we had coffee and some very good (and large slice of) Dorset cake. Really friendly service and free dog treats too.

A beautiful setting by the water on a sunny evening, 1st was the house red wine which was delicious followed by an amazing 3 courses, The organic beef short rib which was a delightful & one of the best starters I have ever tasted ( please make this a main course) I then went for the rump of lamb which was cooked to perfection & then finished with a knickerbocker glory! What a treat!!! Our waiter Daniel was excellent & very attentive & knowledgeable about the dishes he also kept our wine topped up, we will certainly return so we can sample more of this superb menu, thanks for making our Saturday evening a memorable one.

Birthday treat for my soul mate last night at Eileen's. The food was sublime! The wine pairing was spot on and service was exceptional! The background music was eclectic and wonderful too! I am already dropping heavy hints that I want to come back for my birthday treat! A memorable and special dining experience!

Lovely evening. The food was great. The service was warm, friendly, welcoming and non-pretentious. Thanks very much to all!

We had a delicious Mary Poppins themed afternoon tea for 2. Sandwiches, light fluffy scones, delicious cakes. The attention to detail was brilliant even down to a spoonful of sugar (sherbet) and a chocolate spoon and a blue cordial for the medicine! Staff and the service were superb. We would definitely go again to sample the rest of the menu or another themed Event.

Brilliant venue for a kids party! Everything was thought of, we were well catered for, and the birthday girl (age 6) absolutely loved it. Thank you!

A place where you can relax and enjoy magnificent cuisine prepared with soul and passion.

Lovely atmosphere, lovely food, lovely Mother’s Day! Delicious roast dinner and lovely staff Definitely coming back again soon!

La comida era increíble. Todos tuvimos el ajo salvaje y sopa de patatas que era impresionante. Para la principal teníamos el suflé de queso con eglefino y el plato de filete. Todo lo cual fue perfecto. El personal era atento, me encantó la coordinación de los trajes! La decoración era preciosa también. Simple y francés. Definitivamente volveré para el menú de la noche pronto. Magnífico 👍🏼
