The Naze Cafe & Takeaway in Tendring

Freshly prepared food, friendly service, reasonably priced

Nice food, themed evenings are great, take your own booze with no extra charge..

Ana is very nice and friendly. We took 5 tapas for us, as a couple. It was delicious. We will come back to eat the Paella (it needs to be ordered 24 hours before). 🙂

We love this cafe Ana and Rick serve a delicious seafood paella and delicious tapas it's the true taste of Spain we love the atmosphere too.

Fantastic tapas and lovely atmosphere. Great service

Excellent food and service, as always. Highly recommended.

Amazing food and wonderful service.... no rush, no pressure.... the best place to eat in Walton!

Used to go there all the time but they stopped doing food we enjoyed. like roast dinners and sausage and mash .now they specialise in continental cuisine like tapas, fish, dishes, lasagna, omelettes, salad & chips . They do themed night Greek, Spanish, Italian, dishes in the evening you have to book as it gets very busy.The lady and man they are very nice and friendly always up for a chat when they get a free

Incredibly glad we tried this place, despite appearances and location!!First of all, the location is odd, being in a very residential. The appearance is of a standard builders cafe from the outside, not somewhere you would expect to sell anything homemade or worth travelling for.Inside it's slightly nicer, though still minimalist and bare. Don't visit expecting plush seats and grand decor!We visited on a Saturday evening, meaning they're was only a tapas menu (we were aware of this and deliberately attended for the tapas).The menu was coincide with fan favourites (patatas braves, calamari) with a few less well known dishes and a nice selection of specials (Galician style octopus on potato with paprika).In all the food was lovely. A few issues; the squid was frozen and pre bought, the mixed fish croquettas were very bland and potato-ey. But on the whole it was a lovely meal. The octopus was brilliant, and the mussels (what little we had - our son took a liking to them!) Lovely. All the obviously home prepared dishes were excellent.Service was also friendly, though a towards the end it took a while to get hold of the waitress (who was fantastic throughout especially to the boy).If you are in the area don't hesitate to visit, though not entirely sure how far it is worth travelling for...

Doesn't look much from the outside but don't let that put you off as the food is very nice and the owners lovely.You can get the fried breakfasts you'd expect from the exterior but they also do Spanish food at the weekend (one of the owners of from Spain, so it's authentic too) and there are a few chefs specials for the day too.A nice stop off after a morning looking for fossils at Naze beach.
