The Bowling Green in Tendring

Great food at a good price. Very nice and friendly staff.

It's okay, food came out cold and was mediocre. I'd still recommend giving it a go though.

Been there twice now with family. We actually travel from Kent to have breakfast with daughter and grandkids here and it's totally worth it. Great food and atmosphere. Awesome value for money just wish we had discovered this place sooner. Will be returning regularly can't wait for next visit.

Absolutely gorgeous cottage pie and Etons mess for dessert,washed down by wine 🍷 great table service to, compliments to the chef 5 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Lovely restaurant spacious and clean.Great value for money and the food was delicious.The staff were friendly and polite.Fantastic service our waitress Dominika was absolutely lovely, so very helpfully nothing was too much trouble for her..she's a credit to them.Will certainly be taking family and friends again.

Very poor service.We walked in on a Saturday lunch time, waited a minute at the entrance but nobody was around so figured it was a 'seat yourself' kind of place. Grabbed a couple of menus, found a table, chose our meals and went to the bar to order.At the bar, 1 person was serving, so I waited patiently. I told her my table number and was told that it was waitress service in that area, I should go back and wait to be served. We had not seen a single waiter since arriving, but we waited none the less. After 10 minutes and no waiter we decided to leave and try elsewhere.Nobody saw us leave, and it really felt like nobody cared.We won't be going back.

I was not expecting the Ritz but I was looking for some kind of service and half decent food. Its probably best if I list out the Pros and Cons.Pros - Theres ample parking, its near a petrol station, the building seems intact, there is plenty of room to sit, children are welcome.Cons - Had to stand and wait for about ten minutes before anyone acknowledged me at the door (you have to stand and wait to be seated). The place was nearly empty apart from a very loud family group of a screaming woman and some screaming children. It took too long to be served so I went to the bar to be served. The two men on the table next to us just kept swearing loudly. The food was small, average and over priced.Im sorry this place lacks anything, it lacks good friendly service, it lacks good value tasty food and it lacks atmosphere.

Very good place to eat and drink ,lovely stuff Very helpful and funny to...I definitely recommend to everyone 👍 😉😊😊😊

Been here a few times . Staff were fantastic as always polite, courteous, and attentive. The food has a lot to be desired though. We all had a carvery. Although there is plenty of portion size the food is warm to cold by the time you are half way through your dinner it has gone cold. As I do not have gravy on my roast . It starts off cold then gets colder .Maybe the heat lamps need changing I don't know. Be prepared to have plenty of food , but it won't be hot. We didn't have dessert as what we wanted was not available.

Lovely atmosphere with friendly staff. Good range in their Xmas menu and good value too. 2 courses for £14.99 & 3 courses for £16.99. Very tasty!
