About The Boardwalk Bar & Grill

The Boardwalk Bar & Grill is a bar and grill at Clacton Pier No. 1 in Clacton On Sea, set up as both a dog cafe and a dart bar. Dogs are welcome, so visitors can bring their own along for a meal or a drink. The dining area has sea views. The kitchen serves breakfast and lunch, with burgers and chips on the food side, while the bar also works as a pub and mixes cocktails. Music events take place on the pier, and a separate bar team and kitchen team handle the drinks and the food.

Customer Review Summary

Reviewers most often praise the friendly staff, with the burgers and chips named as delicious and one calling the breakfast the best they've had. Another says the kitchen made chips for them at breakfast on request. The main complaint is a music event on the pier, where the bar queues were slow. One reviewer also regrets the withdrawn small breakfast.

    “Went to the music event on the pier yesterday, great event but the pub was 'unprepared' with their bar staff. The staff were very polite and very friendly, but god they were slow! There were two queues snaking from the bar round and out the door, yet the staff (3 serving per line) all very orderley and people waited patiently, but sometimes the staff would stand and chat amongst themselves, when clearly there were people waiting to be served, and it appeared one staff member was being trained (not the best time to be learning), so 2 staff dealing with one customer and it was taking at least 30 minutes minimum to get a drink. 2 queues, 6 staff in total, but sometimes only one was serving per line (maybe the other two were changing a barrel? or taking a break?) it was VERY understaffed. On a sunny day in Clacton, for the number of people that were there, all day, they needed at least 10 people behind the bar. It was painful to watch and more painful to queue. If they had more staff they would have doubled the speed and the takings easily. Other than that it was a very good show.”
