A friend of mine and I stayed here on a rambling tour. The accomodation was adequate although the room we stayed in had an overwhelming smell of feet. The food we had was greasy and overcooked, most especialy the breakfast. Not very nice or appetising. My companion could not eat the breakfast I'm afraid as it was just too greasy. The staff are not warm at all and it all just seemed too much effort for them. I really enjoyed my tour of the area and would definitely come to Manningtree and Mistley again to explore the area further, but will decidedly give this establishment a miss and find somewhere more welcoming. The best and only positive point of this establishment that I can proffer is the views and location only. The Dedham Vale is most spectacular.

Following a very warm welcome from the young lady behind the bar, we were taken to our table over looking the river.
The restaurant and bar were very busy, but our order from the extensive menu was taken quickly and food arrived hot and in good time.
The cod was fresh and the chips were obviously from fresh potatoes, although the peas and carrots were slightly over cooked.
Staff are well turned out, friendly and efficient, although the landlady could be heard shouting at staff behind the scenes, which was a little off putting.
Toilets and the customer area in general were very clean.

How can you mess up burger and chips? And at nearly £9- I would expect better than a pile of greasy mess on stale baguette.Definately wouldnt recommend this pub-manningtree has much better establishments.

Aftering recieving a very harty welcome, we enjoyed fine food and ale. The accomodation was first class in a refurbished property across the road and was extremely comfortable. A full breakfast set us up for our journey home and would reccomend a stay at the Crown Hotel to the masses.

this pubs food is not what you expect. forget the 'waterfront location'. The food and the service is very poor for what you pay for. I am 65 and retired and I really thought this was a lovely place to eat. The staff are not friendly and the food is 'home made' by a mother that hasn't got the war rations or is pre-occupied by the gents to pay attention to cooking it properly. VERY very disapointing. The whole thing I would give a 3/10
