We decided to try it for Sunday lunch, we each chose different meals and thoroughly enjoyed them. Food was tasty, very good portion sizes. The service was excellent. Plus the view from the conservatory was worth paying for on it’s own.
Wonderful pub in Brightlingsea, over looking stunning views in the garden.
I had shelled prawns for starter, which were perfect, really nice.
The lunch was tasty. Meat well cooked, wonderful cauliflower cheese, great vegetables. The Yorkshire was a little dry but gravy sorted it out and the potatoes were really over cooked, I left them, as I was really struggling to get through them. Over all a good experience and would recommend stopping by.
A great destination venue, staff very professional and food varied and interesting..we settled on the freshly made fish pie which was delicious and uncuos, lots of fish and top mash a. Delight.
We had a side dish of green, cabbage, peas beans etc,these went very well with the pie.
Price fair for this dish
Lovely cosy restaurant, we were seated in the conservatory - only negative was that the lovely waitress started clearing the cushions out of the garden are while we were sitting and it made it very cold and windy for a few minutes. Food was really nice - portion sizes were good and reasonably priced, and all very fresh and hot. Forgotten things were quickly rectified. The white choc bread and butter pud was SO good.
Special mention to the waitress who was on her trial shift, she did a great job and was very friendly and sweet.
The chef found us a table at short notice, which was brilliant. The garden was lovely, with a great view. The fish starters were delicious. I had swordfish, for my main and my friend had, Cromer dressed crab. Also catered for gluten free. Both meals were superb. The staff were friendly and professional.
A gr8 dog friendly pub on my doorstep with excellent food if you love seafood or a good roast. Table of 8 for Sunday lunch plus dog and very well looked after by all staff who were friendly, polite and made you feel that nothing was too much trouble. Would strongly recommend to anyone visiting but book ahead as very busy. Fantastic views from beer garden as well.
Found some reviews online after lookg for fish restaurant so glad we did. I had the swordfish well cooked tasted great, wife had pasta linguine with mixed seafood superb. We will definitely be coming again.
The service was really friendly and quick and attentive. If you like good food especially fish a relaxing atmosphere you have to go.

Wonderful food! The staff were so lovely as well. Id recommend anyone to come here for a very quality meal
Decided to go to Brightlingsea for an afternoon walk with the dog. Took pot luck with nearby pub,and what a find! Very friendly staff, dog friendly. Sat in the conservatory with a lovely outlook. A superb menu, great choices and very reasonably priced. £5 was taken off our bill as the chef said my husbands plaice was a little small! Highly recommend, only regret is it's a fair distance from us to make it a regular visit.
Absolutely wonderful pub. Excellent menu and offers for different days. Pub with gorgeous views over the river to Point Clear.
Be back soon. Our new favourite place
Friendly lovely efficient staff made us feel so welcome 5 stars .
