The Contented Sole is a wonderful restaurant offering first class food and service at really good prices. It has a great reputation, based on its current offering and its history - Prime Minister Edward Heath used to eat there, among many other luminaries. It went through a bit of low patch some years back the the new ownership has got it back on track. Burnham is about half an hour from Chelmsford and is a pretty waterfront town with lots of good pubs and great walks. I ate there a few months back - the pigeon starter was out of this world, and the main course, the Dover Sole, wad perfect. I skipped the dessert - for which I blame my brother (long story).

Super restaurant with first class, friendy, professional and attentive service. The food was well presented, beautifully cooked and clearly made with the freshest ingredients. Will definitely go back and recommend it to others.

absolutely lovely - the food - the restaurant the - service - cant wait to go back,
