The Harbour View | Takeaway In Tollesbury

The Harbour View cafe bistro has an elevated view across the harbour and if there is a very high tide it is reached via a single track lane through the ship yard at the rear of the bistro. The food is Essex pub style but the haddock and chips is great, the seafood platter is mundane.

Beautiful place and location. Food was great and people were friendly. Tucked away and peaceful. The only reason I gave 4 stars was because the food is a little on the expensive side and I probably waited 20 minutes stood at the bar just to order food when there were only two other people at the bar. Generally very pleased. Worth a visit even if it's a one off.

Disappointing, however the view from Bistro was excellent, but the food was at best just about OK. The fish and chips with mushy peas not good at all because the fish, Haddock albeit frozen (no big deal over that) it was not very nice, the texture was not good either, it was soft mushy and not flakey at all. More like something from the freezer section at a store. Not good for a bistro which advertises its a good fish place by the sea. My steak and kidney pudding was nice, full and filling but overall as a family lunch time, meals for 4, half of us were really disappointed, the other half just about OK. Pretty average food overall sorry. I usually tip as well at least 10% but I didn't bother this time as service charge was already added which no one told us about until the bill came and for a small Bistro like this I thought it was a bit unnecessary. We thought we would support somewhere to help out (although eat out to help out has stopped). Sorry but we won't be back shame as the harbour is very pretty. On the plus side the service was quick, the staff polite but as my son pointed out we were practically the only ones in there. A poor 3 as I nearly scored it a 2. Sorry Harbour View, almost a thumbs down from us, almost.

Delicious seafood platter, followed by warm waffle and a latte. Happy, friendly service with a great view over the marina across to Mersea.
