the fat goose - about us
Two years ago the Fat Goose arrived in Tendring, bringing to North East Essex an exiting new dining venue.
Situated in the village of Tendring, just off the A120, on the B1035, just ten minutes drive from Colchester, Harwich and the coastal town of Frinton and Clacton on Sea. The inspiration for the project was to provide the absolute best local ingredients prepared with imaginative care and deliver them in an atmosphere which was relaxed, unpretentious and comfortable. The cosy farmhouse appeal, The Fat Goose exudes highlights the modern and contemporary interior which greets you inside. The real draw, however, is the food. Created by Chef and Owner Philip Hambrook-Moore, the menu focuses on seasonal fresh food, changing every six weeks to bring you local produce at its best, everything served at the Fat Goose is made on the premises including the ice creams and bread. This was recognised by The AA rosette awarded for culinary excellence in 2009. Philip believes that superb ingredients sourced locally and prepared with care to the highest standards will deliver the taste experience he is proud to offer his customers. A chance to sample the menu in a very affordable way is by lunching with Chef Monday to Saturday, experience a daily changing two course meal for 10.00 or three courses for 12.00. No choice just superb food, prepared using what is best on the day. Just ask for the special! The menu is complemented by an extensive wine list; many of the wines are available by the glass including champagne. Wine served by the glass is kept at optimum condition by the use of The Verre de Vin, equipment which seals an open bottle to keep it absolutely perfect for your enjoyment. Now the Fat Goose is getting fatter! A large extension to the restaurant is under construction, providing a light and airy vaulted dining room which will open onto the spacious gardens, this will provide much needed additional capacity plus the opportunity to cater for private functions. The new terrace due to open at the same time will provide an inviting outside dining experience, to the same high standards for which the fat goose is rapidly becoming known The new facilities should be open at the end of March 2010. The Fat Goose is an independent family run restaurant with a warm welcome |
