The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Tendring East of England

We have been here a few times and always enjoyed it. The food portions are large and well cooked. The staff are friendly & helpful

Just enjoyed the most delicious lunch at this lovely, friendly, cosy countryside cafe. Had to check twice that I am on the right page because we thought the previous reviewer might have been to a different eatery to us! Service was quick, friendly and the home-made food was first class. Prices very reasonable and servings generous. Jacket potatoes perfectly cooked, soft inside and crispy outside. Plenty of butter too. Delicious home made quiche. No blaring radio which was a joy and we brought home a delicious apricot and chocolate slice to enjoy later as the main course filled us up, Clean plates said it all. Thank you Orchard Cafe owner and staff.

Had a good family & friends time in their events room.

Will not be back. Even after my wife getting her food for free that she did not eat. Order food. Came cold but plate was hot. My wife had the noddle that were cold. Sent food back and said food was cold.so the meal was replaced with the same noddle out of the microwave. Now the noddles were like rubber. We will not be back even for free food

A proper old cafe with licensed bar right on the sea front. Not an avocado or quinoa in sight. Friendly staff and customers, and dog friendly too. Surprisingly excellent coffee. Unbelievably good value - £4 for a bacon and egg bap and a coffee. And open in the middle of January. Yeah, it's a bit rough around the edges but that only adds to the enjoyable experience.

Brilliant staff and excellent food. Can't wait to go back.

Had lunch at the start of 2025 in the Stoke-by-Nayland Crown. It did not disappoint, service was excellent as was all our table meals, from the burger to chalk stream Trout, perfection. Highly recommend.

The cafe has an extensive menu with something for everyone, and the staff are friendly. We have been a handful of times always enjoying the food, but we do find it very loud. Portions are generous, and prices are very reasonable.

Food really bland and boring staff lovely.

Great place to relax and enjoy a drink. Whole place was spotlessly clean with imaginative decor. Staff were friendly and the place has a cool vibe , will be going back soon.

What they don't tell schools on educational visits, is they don't accept kids debit cards. Not sure if it's they don't accept Mastercard. 🤔

Food and drinks served quickly and accurately

We visited yesterday for Sunday dinner, the beef was cooked to perfection for me, the homemade Yorkshire pudding was the size of my hand and you get 2 of them. My wife had the chicken and she loved it, unlimited gravy was a bonus as she likes hers swimming. 2 fussy kids that cleared there plates, staff was so helpful and made us feel like home. Will be returning for sure, we'll done and keep up the good work.

Lovely Sunday dinner roast beef full works, lovely staff can’t wait to back for another Sunday roast, very cheap

We liked everything about this pub/hotel. We were in the area for a funeral and because the wake was being held at the Rose and Crown, we were lucky to get a room as they only have five. Nothing was too much trouble for the staff, from the time we arrived to when we left the next day. The service, food and drinks were great. They laid on the buffet for the wake which was really good too and we had dinner in the evening and it was lovely. We also met the owners who happened to pop into the bar and they were super nice and welcoming. The room we stayed in was very comfortable, cosy and clean. Great shower which is always a big tick for me. Breakfast was delicious with lots of choice. Great electronic door system on all doors which makes you feel safe. I would definitely stay here again if I visited the area. There is a spa down the road (The Life House) which I have visited before and stayed over but if I did it again, I would book a day spa and spend the night at The Rose and Crown. Thanks for looking after us all.
