Excellent ๐Ÿ‡ฎ๐Ÿ‡น restaurant with sea views. Had a birthday lunch there and the staff couldnโ€™t do enough to help, they even take blue light card, 20% discount and free deserts at the moment, if you have a card. A really enjoyable meal, even gluten free pizza ๐Ÿ• bases, garlic ๐Ÿง„ bread and pasta ๐Ÿ . Food was delivered quickly and was piping hot. We booked online to save waiting for a table. There is a carpark at the rear, or you can park along the sea front or side streets and walk back to the restaurant. Card only, no cash. Will definitely visit again 5โญ๏ธ

Being a vegetarian I always find it hard to find restaurants that can provide delicious, varied and filling food. At Big Fat Greek Taverna I not only found an array of options to choose from but they also provided gluten free options too. I had meat eaters in my party and everyone was very well catered for - they ordered fish, chicken and steak. They said all dishes were cooked to perfection. Even the side dishes are well prepared, for example the fries are divine not the frozen chips straight from a packet. We even ordered an extra bowl. Lastly the Halloumi fries are to die for! I ate there for 2 evenings and the food did not disappoint on either occasion. I advise you go hungry as all 3 courses are delicious. Make a day of it in Clacton. Daytime by the beach and when you are hungry treat your tastebuds to some truly scrumptious food. I plan to go back again in November.
