As you can imagine, trying to find a take-away, or somewhere to eat-in is so limited, so it was really exciting to find somewhere that does a completely vegan lasagne that wasn't smotheted in pepper or chilli & it tasted amazing. I also ordered the vegan burger & was once again pleasantly surprised to find I could actually add goats cheese to it, I have never found anywhere, especially through delivery, that allowed me to do that, most seem to think I'm choosing vegan, so I wont want to add goats cheese, or eggs, I am not allergic to either of those, so it was so nice to have that choice. Delivery was very fast considering the distance the restaurant is away from me. On arrival, the driver was very pleasant & the items were packaged in really strong boxes to avoid the food getting damaged. I have not had a chance to try to the burger yet, because I suffered with my eyes being bigger than my belly syndrome, so I will save that for a midnight snack or for tomorrow, but the presentation looks really good. It is impossible to comment about the ambience in this review, because it was a delivery, not an in restaurant experience, but I was pleasantly surprised to find this is a restaurant as well as a take-away. I will definitely be booking a table with you within the next two weeks where I am sure the experience will be just as good, or even better Thank you for a very smooth transaction Wildwood :)

Waiters are friendly and helpful, if a few too many it appeared! service - strangely enough - is very efficient... Ordered two salads and a kids pizza meal; food was excellent and the pizza allegedly "the best tasted in a long time" (and we eat a lot of pizza!). £32 with tip for 3 covers including soft drinks - very good value as well. Easily better quality and value than any competition in the area that I've visited. All in all an exceptionally good find which we will definitely visit again when next in the area (Tuesday???).

We had passed this restaurant many times on our way to the 'other' seafood establishment in West…read moreMersea. On Christmas we received, from a relative, a gift voucher for The West Mersea Oyster Bar. So, yesterday, we decided to give it a try. We hadn't booked but decided to take a chance as it was quite early and the restaurant was just readying itself for the lunchtime rush. They found us a table, luckily, as a large group had a couple drop out. Loved, immediately, the ice box full of wonderful fresh seafood. It looked so inviting. Sitting at the table we were immediately asked for a drink order. My partner chose a white wine, a large one. However we were told there was only one size so we decided on two LOL. I chose a bottle of Efs. Unusually, a Turkish beer that we had tried on holiday. And, extremely unusual, Turkish wine on the list. The food was then ordered. Six oysters, plate of cockles and a platter for two. As it turned out, way too much for the normal two persons. All of it totally delicious. It arrived with a bowl of fresh bread and butter. Certainly, a feast. I find it odd, as a lover of oysters, that restaurants in a close locality charge up to £5 each whereas, here just over £5 buys you half a dozen. As they say in the Monty Python film, The Life of Brian, 'What did the Romans ever do for us?' Thank you for Gigas oysters. The locals are really good too. If you aren't into fresh seafood as it comes, then they do a fantastic range of battered fish and chips. Having seen what arrives out of the kitchen, may try them next time. Or the lobster, or the scallops, or the scampi or the, or the etc etc. It all looked brilliant. If you are down West Mersea and are feeling hungry, give them a try. You won't be disappointed.

I don't care if you're full, get the Lemoncello desert too. Light and delicious with the perfect tang. You really ought to book ahead, especially if it's cold and outside seating isn't an option.
