The Contented Sole has  been declared "The Best Small Restaurant in Essex"
at the Essex Food & Drink Awards 2010. Judges said it was "streets ahead of the competition", praising its ambience, service, menu, creativity, presentation, wine list, staff knowledge, use of local, seasonal produce and value for money.

We were lucky enough to be visited by chef patron Andrew Hemingway's mentor, and  the most influential chef in the country, Michel Roux Snr. OBE as Guest of Honor at our 4th year anniversary last August. Click here to read his interview featured in Januarys edition of Essex Life Magazine.

The award winning restaurant is renowned for its French and English cuisine. Set in a charming 18th century building in the picturesque riverside village of Burnham-on-Crouch, the restaurant draws its fresh, seasonal ingredients from its location - the farms of eastern Essex, the famous oyster beds of the Blackwater and the North Sea fishing grounds.

For a great gift idea, why not book a place on our popular demonstration classes (see events) or a gift voucher for a fine dining experience.
