The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Tendring East of England

Lovely evening, dancing n drinking to a DJ. Prices not bad, bar area quite small n cosy, upstairs toilets lovely .

Had a week in a caravan on the St. Osyth Beach site & on several occasions i saw one of the male workers at the back of the shop 1st time, snotting ( blowing his nose on to the floor, both nostrils, without a tissue ), wiping his hands all over his t-shirt & then going back inside to cook.! I actually once saw him do it outside the front of the shop, whilst people were sat there eating & then pulling his t-shirt up to wipe his nose & again then going back into the shop to cook. Absolutely disgusting behaviour & i will NEVER eat there agin, makes me feel sick thinking about it. So sad, because i've loved their fish & chips over the years, but with some-one like that working there, there's no way i am eating from there any more & i have told my friends & they are disgusted too & will no longer go there.!

Lovely GF fish and chips. Wait was 15 mins and I was told in advance and happy to wait as I was more comfortable it was GF. Would recommend

Hay muy pocas cosas de la sala de espera, no lo es. Hay un espacio para los turistas, donde la gente puede hacer alfarería, carpintería, metalistería, foto, desarrollo, letterpressing screenprinting, artes y artesanías, hay un co-op comida separada, tenis de mesa, un gran bar con un rotativo local barriles de cervezas ale y lager. Hay el espacio principal utilizada para ambos conjuntos de dj y bandas en vivo, que tiende a cubrir las cosas realmente alternativa que a menudo es ignorada. Metal, todo dayers, mermeladas folk, bandas de metro internacional, comedia, predicadores religiosos/rappers locales. Voy a echar de menos este lugar cuando se cierra. Ah, también tiene el mejor pescado y patatas fritas en la ciudad, cuando es ese día del mes.

Bought fish and chips here on the way to Harwich port. Ate them while waiting to board the ferry. Really fresh and fabulous tasting cod which had big meaty flakes. Chips top notch too. Shame it’s a 250 mile round trip or I’d be there once a month.

We were there singing for the charity. The Pier was a great watering hole. Go there you will love it

The smallest portion of cod and chips we've ever received and for the money there charging is a joke wont be returning unless they stop being so tight.

Excellent food cooked to order.

Tasty steaks. Good portion sizes. Good selection of dishes. Dessert chocolate and pecan tart was a bit disappointing but fine. Staff were great, fantastic service. Wine very expensive. Though £35 for a bottle of Proseco was a bit over the top, but suppose you expect the price in a hotel.

To be honest, we went to The Waterfront for convenience' sake, as we were staying right next door to the restaurant. We booked a table, but when we arrived the restaurant was almost empty, and not many more guests came after that either. That was a bit off-putting, especially as the staff seemed almost taken aback to see us, but it turned out to be a very good choice. The furnishings and decor are very pleasant, quite elegant, with lovely big mirrors and pictures in ornate frames on the walls, and comfy chairs. What we liked was that the tables weren't crammed in so close together as in many restaurants, so even if it was busy, it wouldn't feel too crowded. There are at least two separate seating areas. As for the food, I had the most delicious beef lasagne, which was billed as 'home-made' (they also do a vegetarian one), and which was served with a decent amount of mixed salad and some garlic bread. My husband had a vegetarian risotto, which he enjoyed very much, too. Above all, the food was served hot, something I find is not always the case in restaurants, and I hate being served lukewarm food, as I feel I have to gulp it down before it goes completely cold. The wines we selected were also very good, one Italian red and another white wine which I've forgotten the name of. The lady who served us was very friendly, and the prices for our meals and drinks were totally acceptable for the quality. Sitting outside would have been lovely, as the restaurant is very close to the sea front, but on a September evening it was just a tad too cool for that, despite the weather having been lovely during the day. We couldn't fault anything, and if we had been staying in Harwich for longer we would definitely have gone back to this restaurant.

I have noticed a few 'cool' reviews about Chivers fish and chips. My wife and I had take out f&c again last Friday. As on previous occasions it didn't disappoint. The fish was cooked perfectly and the batter just right. Coupled with the friendly service and reasonable prices, we will be using Chivers again.

Great traditional seafood at it's best. We had a seafood salad and a prawn cocktail, sat outside the pier bar with a glass of white wine and enjoyed the best of a British seaside lunch. In fact we did this twice during our 4 day break.

we thought we would give this fish and chip shop a go, but we will not be going back the fish should have been medium more like small and batter was very hard like it been sitting around for a while, not freshly cooked..The chips were also a small portion and loads of very small hard bits. We have eaten fish and chips in loads of places around the country and this was one of the worst and the most expensive,

One of the best chip shops in Clacton and I’ve tried quite a few over the years I’ve lived here. Never had a bad meal, a greasy one, always nicely cooked and the family who run it are lovely. Try it, you won’t be disappointed.
