Restaurants in Essex

Far enough from London, but close enough to the rural charms of East Anglia, Essex has made the most of its location and history.

Oysters from Colchester and Mersea Island are part of the county's heritage, likewise cockles from Leigh-on-Sea. The fertile land also produces great fruit crops, which are turned into jams, preserves and juices.

High-profile Essex restaurants revel in razzmatazz: they love a good time and put on live entertainment and special events. Alternatively, chill out in one of the county's eminently civilised country pubs.

La Quinta Restaurant - Benfleet 'Thanks for the fun,' sums up the all-round buzz that visitors get from this livewire venue, which is just the ticket for 'a great night out'; they have thought of everything.........

Reeves Restaurant - Felsted A 16th century oak beamed cottage in the centre of a very pretty village; their mission statement is 'beautiful food in a beautiful location'
