Going up to boat later - but need recommendation for somewhere nice to have a late lunch. Kiddie friendly. Somewhere between m25, leigh, burnham, maldon ish ...
I have been royally entertained a number of times at Tizzio in Heybridge Square (used to be the Anchor Public House) on the roundabout.
The food is Italian and brilliant, drinks reasonably priced.
He opens for lunches now that winter seems to have passed. Telephone number 01621 850035.
Last Sunday we (4 of us) were there from 1245 to 1800 hours excellent service doesn't hurry you. No links other than I love to dine there about once a fortnight and use it to entertain clients. The specials board is worth a close look. House wine, Red and White good.
