Best Restaurants for Groups in Manningtree

I’m a massive fish fan so this restaurant is perfect ! There is also a meat section on the menu and partner had fillet steak which he said was fantastic. The food and service is excellent and we will definitely be returning to Smiths, really enjoyed it.

I’ve been to maddogs & Englishman quite a few times over the last year and every single time I go, I have such a brilliant experience with all the different themes that they go for. I’m never disappointed and always thoroughly enjoy it. I think my friend and I will be making a yearly visit!!!

Meal of the year, hands down. Started with on-point Negroni (me) + a glass of Cremant (my wife) and those seriously classy smoked cod’s roe gougéres. Starters - Carrot Vinaigrette, St Jude's Cow's Curd, Walnuts + Wild Rabbit, Partridge & Duroc Pork Terrine, Medlar Jelly, Toast - both stunning. Mains - Jacob's Ladder, Beer Onions, Black Cabbage, Polenta, Sage + Sweetbread & Bloodcake Hogget Heart Crépinette, Hispi Cabbage, Mash, Madeira Sauce. The latter undoubtedly the best offal dish I’ve ever eaten, still grinning about it now. Dessert - shared an Apple Tarte Fine, Cinnamon Cream + a coupe of amazing Negroni jellies - seriously like a Negroni Tangfastics 😊. All accompanied by a lovely bottle of Reuilly. To find food this good in the perfect country pub setting is an absolute joy. So grateful to have this place within walking distance of our front door. Thank you Greyhound

Fabulous food. The scallops and halibut were particularly good. Fresh, juicy, sweet and perfectly cooked with extra sauce as requested. With a few tweaks in his approach, the new executive chef has taken the menu to another level This restaurant has a lovely warm ambience. Great professional service and staff brimming with enthusiasm and details on the dishes and drinks. The whole experience is delivered so well by George and the team

Pleasant venue, friendly attentive staff. We went on a Wednesday, but at 1pm, some of the dishes on the pick of the Day had already sold out, so to get full choice, so even at midweek, book your table earlier to get the full choice.
