Very nice restaurant! Excellent food and view of seashore, sunset! The oyster is very fresh. It's my first time eating fresh oyster without any cooking. Never thought such fantastic tastes. The other seafoods are also very good. We arrived slightly late near closing, so we didn't book a table, just sit and order. I guess it might need a pre-book for popular hours. The only thing is that the car park is very small, for less than 10 cars. So if you are driving to the restaurant, make sure to find a place to park. We also take a walk after that. The sunset is so beautiful ! Best seafood experience ever !

We went late October and it was a beautiful day so we had a wait a while for a table outside (we also had our dog with us so outside was the only option). Love the atmosphere being right next to the water. Once you bag yourself a table, you go inside to order and help yourself to cutlery etc. The food was fantastic, lovely fresh oysters and prawns, decent fish and chips. However the food took ages to come out - no wonder the wait for a table is so long!

Super fresh, generous portions, great value and unpretentious. Can’t ask for anything more!
My girlfriend and I came here on a day trip from London on reputation that this place was good. The reputation held true.
Staff were efficient and food was served in good time.
We had a half dozen of both types of oysters, a seafood platter for two with chips & mushy peas on the side. The seafood platter had so much seafood!
Somehow we managed to find space for dessert afterwards and so had the bread & butter pudding & chocolate fudge cake. The portion with these was generous too!
Went for a walk after on the beach to help the food go down, nice local scenery.
Will most certainly return!

Nice location on a sunny day. Service was quick and friendly. We choose from the specials. I had a crayfish and salmon salad which was well presented with copious amounts of salmon. The good lady had grilled oysters with cream and parmesan which were well cooked and meaty. Both dishes came with really nice fresh bread. We would definitely go back. The best seafood on Mersea Island this time around.

The best oyster and seafood in Mersea and Colchester..
Eating it fresh and and sitting by the beach and enjoy the view.. what a COMBO! Staff and service was good,, had to wait in line to get a table outside but the wait worth it ALL.. We'll be back.

What a treasure! We had a fantastic lunch here. The oysters were superb, fish platter fresh and plentiful and staff friendly. Red velvet cheesecake was the best I've had. Can't wait to be able to come back.

They need to have a bigger restaurant and car park as it can be crowded at times esp summer.Apart from that food was awesome 😍👌.Great host and friendly people. Would highly recommend this place to seafood lovers.

Had to wait (about 30 mins) for our orders and it wasn't that busy. The seafood platter is still worth the trip every now and then. The parking can be a bit 'tight' as it is a very popular restaurant.

Lovely food, very busy, people were lining up to sit outside!! Nice staff as well. Look forward to them opening the out door seating area so we can get some sun whilst we eat. Even the dogs loved it and they were welcomed as well

Lovely little no frills eatery. Enjoyed a late lunch of Colchester Native Oyster & fish and chips, washed down with a nice bottle of Shiraz. Sat at outside tables to finish our wine and enjoy the sunset. Highly recommend. I will be back.

Came here during May bank holiday. Glad it was great sunny weather. Queued about 10 minutes before managed to get a seat by the terrace outdoor area. Due to Covid, the restaurant converted their car park to more seatings. Really quick service on oysters. Literally waited only one minute after order and oysters came. The mains came a bit later and guess it was due to bulk orders from other customers. Loving the fish and chips. The platter was alright it had a great selection of seafood and I enjoyed the crab stuffed meat very much. Overall it’s a great experience dining here on this island and really tasting the local oysters spectacular!

One of Our family's favourite place to visit to eat out when in West Mersea.
Lovely place polite waiting personnel.
The freshest fish 🐟 ever 💕
We have learnt that in high season or bank holidays it's advised to book so they can reserve a table for us to avoid disappointment.
Love sitting outside in the summer days fabulous view.
Highly recommended to all.

Had the sharing platter for £17.50. It was pretty good, wait wasn’t too long and staff were very friendly. Restaurant overall was a bit overwhelmed and they had to stop taking orders for lunch, which resulted in a long queue of people watching you eat your food whilst waiting to be sat which was a bit awkward, but otherwise a lovely experience.

a nice rough and ready place down on the sea front. Rougham and ready is not a bad term! you get a good wooden table and chairs, there's no ice for drinks and 2 small shared toilets. but what you do get is awesome food. if you like oysters then this is a place to visit. freshly shucked and probably out of the sea that day. plump, succulent with the flavours you crave in this delicacy. seafood sharing platter is delicious. the only very small down side were the cockles were slightly gritty. but everything else lovely. the crab was particularly good. jam packed full of flavour. the table had a variety of mains. all disappeared with haste. crab linguine was very good. but be prepared portion sizes is BIG.
all in all tip top place. dropped a star as no ice for drinks and coffee machine was down. but highly recommended. great service as well.

Love this place . I like to enjoy a beautiful fresh juicy lobster & oysters on my birthday . The quality is always excellent and well worth a 45 mile drive to get there
Sebastian Widlarz
Nice place, with tasty food! Oysters and fish are fresh and delicious. Almost perfect, however the outside dining space could be better organised and cleaner.
Abigail Rawlinson
First time here yesterday. Wow loved it. Spoilt for choice with the menu so as a family we had a bit of everything. The lobster was to die for. I cant wait to come back. X

Food is delicious. This extremely popular fish restaurant is basic in style. top of the class in everything that matters - food, staff, service etc. Well advised to book a table, or you could sit outside in the sea breeze!!
