The Fat Goose, Tendring

Visiting the Fat Goose this week was a wonderful dining experience.

How refreshing and uplifting to find a really good ENGLISH Restaurant!

Beautiful menu,the home made fish cakes were the best I have ever tasted, wine very reasonable and staff so helpful and happy.

Well done to the Fat Goose, will visit again soon .

Having recently moved into the area, I kept seeing The Fat Goose mentioned on numerous social media posts and was intrigued to find out what everyone was raving about. I had seen the Restaurant many times whilst driving by and the car park was never empty. For me that is always a good sign.

The staff were very welcoming on arrival, all politely spoken and presentable, another good sign and I didn't wait long to be shown to my table. The restaurant is nicely spaced out, which does make a change. I do hate it when places cram the tables too far together. Makes you feel like as if you could reach over a help yourself to the next table's chips.

I decided to go for a main and a dessert as I wanted to really enjoy this meal and not feel as if I was forcing every mouthful down. Being a big fish lover I went for the Haddock, which in my opinion was absolutely delicious. The hand-cut chips and minted pea purée finished the dish off nicely.

Having saved enough room for dessert the traditional Bakewell Tart didn't last too long on the plate. It was heaven on a plate.

I would highly recommend The Fat Goose for not just the mouth-watering food but the value for money and great customer service!

once again a fantastic meal at the fat goose,, again all staff were more than helpful with a sound knowlege of wines and the chef obviously has a sound knowlege of flavour. my wife went for the roast pepper tart tatin this time. exceptional. and the spring lamb rump was cooked to perfection. desserts are always a very empting end to any meal and have never been let down. will be back again and again .

This restaurant was recommended by friends who had tried it and they were right. It's a great place, apparantly it has just been extended but it's bright, airy and very inviting with a lovely terrace, shame about the weather! We had the lunch with chef special. Absolutely amazing quality and such an imaginative menu for a tenner. We'll definitely be back, superb

We were taken by friends for this our first visit. A high quality restaurant with a good menu and reasonable choice of wine. Comfortable and welcoming with good and unobtrusive service. Seating tended more towards the basic, but this was forgotten in the warm atmosphere of the room. Worth searching out!

The Fat Goose - Furniture mixed styles and for a lunch which took two hours, the chairs are extremely hard. Food for our trio was disapponting. Rolls half baked, soup watery and the excellent fried fish spoilt by soggy batter.
