Okay fellow East Coasters, I have been set a challenge by the dear lady wife to find somewhere better than the average pub grub for a mid-week meal out during our August cruise

We've only got a week and we're not looking to get too ambitious distance away from base wise. So where's the bestest place to eat out within easy walking distance of somewhere to moor (and preferably walk ashore at that) within a couple of days sail from Fambridge?

Forget Burnham (too close), rule out Bradwell (been there too often) and London is now off the agenda (too stressful!)

I'm struggling to come up with a good idea so .... HELP! :D

Currently this place is our favorite. It's not poncy.... just very very nice!

You can berth in Heybridge and get a taxi.... or.... take your dingy up the canal and moore up on their private jetty.

Cor I shall remember that one.
The Google map that is pulled up on their website to show the location marks the canal as the 'River Blackwater', and the River Blackwater as the 'River Chelmer'... :confused:
 
If you are in the Haven in Ipswich it's a short walk (or if at Foxs, a cab ride) to Arlingtons in Museum Street. (The owners are the former owners of Mortimers on the Quay - the most excellent fish restaurant that used to be in Ipswich Dock was bought out by Loch Fyne and ruined!!! :()
Excellent grub - both set menu and 'a la carte', interesting building (former ballroom), occasional piano accompaniment to your meal too :cool:.

Sorry I meant from the canal! I know where the Tesco pontoon is, as we always take the dinghy up there when in Heybridge, I was trying to find out where the restaurant's own quay was. Is it before or after Tesco (coming from Heybridge)? If after presumably it is the other side of the road bridge beyond which we have not ventured.

If you look at this map from the restaurant website http://www.le-bouchon.co.uk/contact-us/map you can see it's not long after you pass under the road bridge at Heybridge, quite a way before you get near Tesco's - Tesco is near the A414 bridge, further on.
