Restaurant£££13.4 km

In a charming little seaside town, tucked away among the shops, is this narrow restaurant with a rustic look, that's given a cosy vibe by the friendly, engaging manner in which it's run. The creative, eye-catching dishes are full of flavour and focus on wellbeing and ingredient provenance. The format changes depending on when you visit, with tasting menus in the evening, a 'menu du jour' at lunchtime and a roast lunch on Sundays. Vegan diners are catered for too, with plant-based options at all times.

Rubino Kitchen

Restaurant££19.3 km

A red-brick former pub provides the new home for this restaurant, which has long been a feature of the local dining scene. A large array of menus is available and the fixed price lunch is a steal. The experienced chef knows how to get the best out of his ingredients and dishes burst with flavour from the effective combinations. They even run regular cookery classes for kids.

The Windmill

Restaurant£££19.6 km

Chef-Owner Tom Clarke built up an impressive resume before returning to his Essex roots to open this lovely village inn with his partner. After a charming welcome from Nancy into the characterful interior, where a small bar still serves some local drinkers, it’s time to enjoy the hearty yet refined cooking. Classical flavour and texture combinations run throughout a menu served well by quality produce, with desserts like dark chocolate crémeux proving a real highlight.
