A lovely experience for myself and my friend.  The setting had a lovely Christmassy feel and backdrop. The choices on the menu were good and the food beautifully presented. The service was just right we were not hurried and the staff were helpful.

The food always tastes fresh, which is what I look for. The salmon salad had crisp greens and the fish was nicely cooked. Portions are generous too.

The pub itself is gorgeous, really lovely setting. I was pleased to see they had a few lighter options on the menu. The salad I ordered was fresh, with crisp greens and a nice variety of vegetables. No table service, but that was fine for a quick lunch.

The rhubarb cider is very good. Tried it during a quiet weeknight visit. They also do tarot reading events, which is a different touch. Not my usual thing, but it fits the place.

Fish and chips are cooked fresh, which is good. Portion size is decent for the price. Service was efficient, got my order quickly. Place was clean and tidy. Solid option for a quick, no-fuss meal near the office.

A clean, tidy spot with a proper local feel. The house red was a surprisingly good match for the fish and chips, really brought it together. A real find in Clacton.

The 2-for-1 cocktail happy hour is a great deal. They have a massive menu, so you can try something new each time. I like grabbing a seat by the big windows in the evening.

Nice, relaxed spot. Popped in with a mate for lunch. The modern interior is really chill, not too loud. Good for a casual catch-up.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The staff are genuinely nice, remembered I liked extra chilli oil from last time. Makes a difference. Place was buzzing as usual.

That sausage and halloumi baguette is a must-order, the sausage was so tender. The place itself has this great, laid-back vibe with big windows and comfy wooden chairs. Just a really nice spot to sit and enjoy a meal.

Came with a big group of friends last Friday. The staff handled our table so well, no one felt rushed even though we stayed ages just chatting. Made it easy to catch up properly.

The savoury tapas are the main event here, really solid. Most plates are generous. The desserts, though, were a bit on the small side for the price. Still, a decent spot for a casual bite.

Been coming for years. Eloisa and Mia are great. The double pint of Level Head is the move.

The BBQ chili wings are a solid choice for takeaway. Portions are decent, and the sauce is really tasty.

Always impressed with how fast and friendly the service is here. The team is just so polite, even when the place is packed. Makes you feel properly looked after.

Been coming here for years, and the lamb is always spot on. Cooked just right, never overdone. It&#39;s the one thing I know I can count on every time.

The seafood was fresh and cooked just right. Good to see they&#39;ve got high chairs for the little ones too.

Lovely spot for a drink. Sat outside in the Market Square on a warm evening&mdash;the atmosphere was really nice and relaxed. The staff and regulars are friendly, which makes it feel welcoming.

Service was prompt and efficient. Staff were friendly without being overbearing. Food arrived quickly, which was appreciated as we were on a tight schedule. Good spot for a business lunch.

Been coming here for years. The sourdough is always spot on, and you can tell they use fresh mushrooms, not the tinned stuff. Good for a simple, light lunch.
