First time visit for live music in the function room. Very impressed with the pub, the beer, the service and facilities. Really nice ??. We'll be back ? And maybe we'll try the food next time - there is a pizza bar in one of the areas.

We had been here 3 years ago with friends and kids. Today it was just the two for our anniversary. Had garlic bread, pizza and their zucchini fries (those are amazing). As we were sharing the pizza they had cut it and brought it on two separate plates, something which I had not encountered before. Well thought. Loved the food and will be back soon (definitely won't take another few years to return).

The Tea-House Cafe at Mistley Quay

We had a wonderful late afternoon tea party here on 24th October 2026.
It was for my granddaughters baby shower. 22 guests in total.
The selection on the sandwiches/cakes/scone, fruit & salad stands & platters.
was impressive. No one went home on empty tummy.
The staff kept the teas & coffees topped up & really pampered us. Casey & the 2 ladies helping her really went out of their way to make sure we had a special day to remember.
Highly recommend visiting this quaint little tea shop.

Great little pub with excellent food. My wife and I come here for dinner on a Friday night and I have to admit I was a bit worried because it was dead (approx 6:30pm). But, it started to get busy when all the locals started to come in... im assuming agricultural folk finishing their work day judging by the attire?

We ordered the barbecue platter for 2 and I cant fault it at all. Prefectly cooked meat, tasty sides and reasonably priced.

Service was friendly.

Wow my favorite cafe and deli in Manningtree !

Delicious homemade quiche fresh and warm right out of the oven, fresh scones and cakes, yummy milkshakes, the best Suffolk ham, and nice selection of deli gifts and take home products. The best lattes in town and the service is outstanding. Reasonably priced and excellent quality. Nice quiet (and cool) hidden gem!

Had the cod and chips. Truly tasty crispy batter and flakey fish. Chips were tasty and well cooked. Not dry at all. Even after walking home 10 minutes it was still a great meal. Throw in a picked egg and you won't regret it.

The fish is generously sized & seemed of good quality. The chips are clearly where they make their money, at nearly £3 for a small portion they could be considered extortionate. The smell of the beef dripping while very nice, does become a bit invasive after a while.

Had lunch here with my partner the other day. A few of the options on the hot lunch menu were not available which was dissapointing as it wasn't a large lunch menu (this to be honest is a good sign as it shows what is offered is fresh). We both ordered the cheese quiche with salad (you can chose either 1 or 2 salads - they weren't big - more of just a dressing really - my 2 'salads' were green salad and couscous). With my lunch I had an apple juice which was lovely. When the lunch came to the table, it wasn't as big as expected and unfortunately I left still rather peckish. For just over £10 for one lunch I'd have wanted a bit of a bigger portion. However the quality and taste of the food was super. The servers were friendly. Unfortunately the table we sat down at hadn't been cleaned down but probably just a one off oversight. It happens! The cake looks good so I'll be back for some of that and a coffee!

Chilvers FISH&CHIP TAKEAWAY

Fish & Chips, 5 High St, Manningtree

Came here from Basildon and was blown away by the value, service and lovely food. Can't fault it except we didn't like the sav but that was down to personal preference (prefer a smokier pink one). Everything else was lovely tho and can't believe some of the bad reviews are actually real. We ordered large cod and got two pieces of what would normally be large cod anyway in our local and gave us two cod roe, again because they said they were small but were the same as what we are used to. Would definitely return if we are back in the area. Fantastic value. Thanks.

Kid-friendliness: Talking to my 11 year old like they have known her forever. Very friendly.

I was coming back from Clackton and as I came through Manning tree it's on a little industrial state. Just off the main road before the train bridge as you're coming out of Manning tree actually was really nice. The food was good. It was freshly cooked. It was delicious. The salad was good overall value for money. Give it a try if you're ever in Manning tree

We stayed here for 2 nights to visit friends. The staff were very efficient and welcoming and in particular Andy & Kate couldn’t do enough for us. Great parking also at the rear of the hotel. Our room was very spacious and modern with lots of attention to detail to ensure that we had everything we needed. I loved the bed, so comfy and linen was of a lovely quality. Our bathroom was also a wow ? and great locally produced complimentary toiletries that smelt great ?. We hadn’t planned to have breakfast at the hotel however on our second day we booked in and were so pleased we did. Great menu, reasonably priced and with a lovely view of the River. I had the smashed avocado on toast and swapped the smoked salmon option for poached egg and it was beautiful. I would recommend to book in advance as the locals clearly knew how good the breakfasts were so it filled up very quickly ?. On the whole we were very impressed with The Crown quality facilities and location and are already planning a return stop over in August 2024. This time we’ll definitely be bringing Martha ? as it was super doggie friendly too.
