Harbour View Bistro & Bar

I went to the Harbour View for a Saturday lunch with my husband yesterday and we had a wonderful experience. The location is perfect, with the restaurant overlooking Tollesbury Marina and with huge windows offering gorgeous views of the harbour. The menu includes amongst other things a variety of freshly prepared fish and seafood. My husband went for the battered cod and chips, I went for the moules marinieres. The portions were very generous and we both thoroughly enjoyed our meal. The mussels had been well prepared and were cooked to perfection, and the creamy sauce that came with it was so tasty and delicious. Honestly the best pot of mussels I've had in the area. All reasonably priced and the service was couldn't be faulted on any level thanks to the attentive staff. All in all, an experience I am already looking forward to repeating very soon.

We come here like every other weekend. I usually have the eggs Benedict, and my partner has a full English. The foods good quality, yummy! And the staff are great, very accommodating and we have a laugh with them. We’ve also been for dinner and had the ribs for starter, chicken burgers, chips and coleslaw for main (amazing) and I couldn’t fit desert it but they look delicious. A yummy meal with a beautiful view of the harbour and great service.

We had walked past here when we came to Tollesbury last year, and made a point of coming for lunch today when we visited again. Neither my husband nor I can fault the food or the service. From the moment we arrived to when we left, the staff were welcoming, efficient and friendly. The service was excellent, the delicious scampi and chips was served nice and hot and our desserts were very good too. A really nice touch was the mints that came with the coffee being cold from the fridge. Ideal in this hot weather- although it was a bit different today! We will definitely be back. PS My husband has a blue badge and there was parking nearby and a ramp for wheelchairs Remember to register your car on arrival.
