On my visits to Clacton I have always had food at this Wimpey. The service is excellent and I am happy with the food. However, it does concern me why there are so many small flies around.On every visit over the last couple of years I have always noticed these flies which does put me off eating there. I did put it down to the time of year especially when it is warmer weather. However, my last visit was in October and there was just as many flies around.This problem needs to be addressed.

Chips in a bowl now No condiments on tables Knife fork dirty had to clean it Area we sat smelt awful Didnt look appetising You need to sort it out before coming again Was never like this ever

Good food usually but I had a glass of water and it tasted and looked like the glass had not been washed. Sent it back and received a glass of water which had not only not been washed, but had a dead insect in it. Don't know whose job it is to wash up but they're not doing their job. I'm hoping I don't get sick from that.

Came here around 11:15 on Monday 11th September. Worst Wimpy we’ve ever been in many aspects. Those to highlight were the young staff members arguing between each other openly in front of customers, next to no service as it took what felt like an eternity for someone to ask us if we’d like to order something. Food took forever and was not fresh or merely presentable when it was served to us. We also witnessed someone returning their entire order and demand a refund as they’d had enough. Wish I’d done the same. Safe to say will not be returning anytime soon.

Young staff members who worked hard to sit people in a busy period greeted pleasantly and quick service. Highly recommended.

The food was amazing, the milkshake was the best milkshake we have ever tried. The food was freshly cooked and presented well. The first member of staff was rude and ignored us, but a lovely young girl came and served us and was very friendly and helpful. I did see the same girl cleaning every table someone had eaten at.The toilets were the only let down of this restaurant, no soap, tap just kept spinning around and only a drop of water came out. The hand drier only went on for 2 seconds and off again.The toilet floor was very dirty .The restaurant needs some money spent on it, as it has tape over the cracks on the floor to hold it down.But we went in for good food and fond memories and that is exactly what we got.Kid-friendliness: They do a kid menu for £6.99. With that you get a choice of 3 mains, all served with chips and beans. A drink (including milkshake) and a choice of two puddings

As usual, the quarter pounder no cheese was excellent. Added bonus, asked if chef could squeeze out some of the fat from the burger (good wimpys do this) and was agreed and done. An all round excellent meal and staff helpful ..

Food was delicious, reasonably priced and well presented. We ate in and the place was clean and tidy. Good selection of food and drink on the menu. The server tonight 14/08/23 at around 20.30 was absolutely fantastic pulled extra tables together for us, served us with a smile and was a credit to the brand.

Lovely hot food and friendly staff. Whilst the cafe is quiet the staff could do some cleaning of the customer eating area.
Food was cold and chips were missing from order after paying for 2 meals for me and my mrs.

My chicken burger was fine, fries were a bit dry. Chocolate shake was tasty. The waitress was cheery and polite..Not sure what the idea is with the decor since my last visit it seems to have taken a more dour tone, it's a bit dark at the rear of the seating area and one thinks a lighter decorative scheme would help the interior.Wheelchair accessibility: There is access from the pavement but the wooden ramp has seen better days, it needs replacing.

Revisiting Wimpy after years, I was pleasantly reminded of the delightful food and impeccable service that made it a favorite in my childhood. The nostalgia hit me as I walked through the door, but what followed surpassed all expectations. The friendly staff greeted me with warmth, making me feel truly welcome. The food was nothing short of amazing, with flavors that brought back fond memories. If you're seeking a trip down memory lane and a culinary experience that won't disappoint, a visit to Wimpy is an absolute must.

Will definitely pop in again when I next visit Clacton.
