"This might be the best restaurant in NE Essex. Absolutely delicious food (particularly the fish), friendly service and luxury rooms if you're staying too."

"Ask to sit in the garden - there are tables in the sun and tables in the shade of the willow tree."

"The light bites on the summer menu are delicious and great value for money. The med veg tart with salad makes a perfect lunch."

"I had the calamari - it was delicious. The staff were very attentive and gave us some cheap aperitifs, which were also very nice. I recommend sitting in the garden for a quieter dining experience."

"If you want service without a smile, you've found the right cafe."

"Try the halloumi and chips. Tasty alternative to fish."
