    Plenty of choice so you're not limited to the Oysters, although these are world renowned and enjoyed by celebrities such as Elton John! Highly recommend the seafood platter for a bit of everything.

    Great food all round but you have to try the oysters, almost as good as Tasmanian. Staff are all friendly, families welcome as staff took some of the kids while parents had their lunch 😁

    Amazing fresh shellfish. The platter is great. The native oysters are so sweet and delicious (in season Sept-April). We visit every time we are near Mersea.

    Mersea Rock oysters were delicious. Native Colchester oysters were gorgeous. Took out a platter and some massive prawns to eat later.

    The Company Shed in West Mersea- my home town- gets all the press, but this place is better, cheaper and has much nicer staff. Seafood platter for 2 feeds 3 and is amazing!!

    Amazing seafood and quick service. 40 minute queue at 12pm, but absolutely worth it!

    Not sure what is so special about this place. Oysters are not THAT great to travel, found alive worm on the plate. Cod was so-so, salmon was good. Overall, just a village public house.

    Terribly disappointing. Poor quality and bad service. Rude staff, they lack respect towards customers.
