The Castle Inn - Tendring

Amazingly busy for a Wednesday Lunchtime, excellent, friendly hardworking staff, wonderful home cooked food, great portions, we went for the Bbq Belly Pork with cauliflower cheese and minted mushy peas… stunning…! Shared a walnut Pavlova, too full for a whole one each…!

Good food and friendly staff when you can find them. Lunch was slow to be served and when I wanted to pay as I had to return to work) the bar was deserted! I'm waiting and waiting, wanting to pay. Another customer is waiting at the bar to be served. The phone is ringing. No staff member anywhere to be seen. I waited so long I had to leave meaning I had to give my money to another member of my party who was remaining a little longer and ask them to pay my bill for me! This really is very poor and would prevent me going again for lunch.

Great night stay here, was looked after by Steph at the pub. Ideal if your catching an early Ferry...hope to see you again soon..

Been here many times now. Always excellent food, service and value. Staff are lovely and friendly. Will keep coming back.

This is a handy stop before getting to the ferry at Harwich. We thought we would pop in and check out the facilities for overnighting in their carpark in our campervan on a future visit. We both enjoyed a lovely dinner in the pub with a drink. Good choices on the menu and I had a very tasty. well cooked and flavoursome fish pie with veg and my husband had the burger. We also both had a slice of the most amazing salted caramel cheesecake and it set us up nicely for the evening ahead. The facilities looked good for the overnight camping and we will definitely use this place if we ever use the ferry again.
