Very happy. Had a lovely day. We sat in the main bar area which was better and food choices were really good. They changed some things for us. Bar Service was a bit slow at times but overall excellent

Chips were already salted but didn't realise. I then used the salt pot but the salt flowed unusually fast so my chips ended up too salty. Other than that all good.

What an amazing find! The food is absolutely amazing, the staff are really friendly and helpful. We were shocked when the bill came that it wasn't more money. Highly reommend and will most definitely be returning to try everything on the menu.

Felt a bit rushed as staff were telling people the kitchen was closing at 7:45. Lots of things not on the menu. Would have been quicker to list what was on the menu...chicken, basically

Lovely new restaurant, nice and warm for my old parents. Food portions quite large for the starters. Make great lunch choices. Mains were good. Staff quite young and one particular person was quite inexperienced and quiet. But no problems.

Pleasant spacious bar area. Nice staff. Cod and chips was great. Nice pint of Ghost Ship. Only criticism would be that the tartare sauce didn’t have enough pickles/capers so basically just mayo

In such a nice setting right on the edge of the sea. The staff were very friendly and the venue was my wife's choice for her birthday as she likes the place so much.

I only marked the food & service down on 2 things; with the food all 4 of us had really overcooked chips and on the service side the main courses were brought and left on the table whilst we were still eating our starters

Our meal was perfectly pleasant, and the staff were great, but the coastal location provides a golden opportunity to do much better, and offer a seafood experience that could not be replicated inland (as our meal easily could). The only place at West Mersea we found that exploited that potential and achieved that with stye and super-fresh ingredients was the Company Shed. Others, like the Victory could emulate.

Food very average and nothing special, also too salty. Not sure why the chips on the kids menu needed salt either?! Plenty of seating in the beer garden with a great play area to entertain the youngsters. Everything felt a bit sticky, tables, doors, bathrooms; could do with a good clean. Overall it was fine but there are better places to eat with equally good waterside views.
