The Haywain - Tendring

We came for a celebration on short notice. I called ahead to ask about allergies and they were most accomodating, when we arrived they had marked a menu with what was safe to eat and changes that could be made. Unfortunately 2 of the mains were not very good but when we told the staff they were really lovely and rectified the problem explaining it was a new menu and thanked us for the feedback. Overall even with a slight issue will definitely go again and couldn't fault the staff.

We went to the Haywain for a family birthday. The food and service was fantastic. We would definitely come back and recommend to friends.

This is our new favourite place to eat and to call in for a drink. The half pint snacks are great for a starter or can order a load of them to share as a snack woth drinks. We had the bbq board to share and ordered extra chips but we honestly didn't need the extra chips. It's dog friendly with a doggie bar where you can help yourself to dog treats and water bowls. Staff are friendly and helpful and inside is a really cosy atmosphere. Outside seating also an option. The waffles for dessert are also amazing.

Our friends and us have been visiting The Haywain for a year or so now and it never fails to disappoint. We usually come on one of their event evenings, most recently a bbq and music night. The food was honestly some of the best food I have eaten. How can we go back to a standard bbq again??! It was a great evening to celebrate my birthday and I can't wait to go back again. The staff are very welcoming, friendly and attentive which only adds to the value of the place. A little gem

We had a wonderful anniversary lunch at this restaurant. The atmosphere was pleasant and the food was delicious. They also have a great selection of real ales. Our hostess Saskia took excellent care of us. We will definitely be returning!
