Long established Chinese take-away restaurant. The food is good, it's conveniently located at the end of the road, and you can phone through and have the food delivered ... and we're very good friends with the family who run it.

Drinks & Nightlife
Despite its coastal location, Frinton-on-Sea was long known as a ‘dry’ town - remarkable for its distinct lack of a pub. The Lock & Barrel changed all that though, bringing brilliant ales and proper pub food to the town’s much-loved Connaught Avenue.
Set among the independent shops and boutiques of "the Bond Street of the East Coast", the pub is the perfect place to recharge your batteries after a hard day's shopping - and a great spot for refreshment after a day at the beach.
With a wonderful open fire to warm you up on a cold winter's night, and two pleasant courtyard areas for when the seaside sun shines, The Lock & Barrel is a popular pub all year round.

16th century pub, supposedly haunted, and I can confirm that when I worked there as a barman decades ago I heard the noise of people walking around upstairs when nobody was in, but I acknowledge the building is over 400 years old. Good beer, great food, nice beer garden. Just watch out for ghosts.

Frinton, with its wide sandy beach, has gone out of its way to remain as uncommercialised as possible and maintain its reputation as a quiet family resort.
Somewhat in contrast to neighbouring Clacton or Walton has an air of reserved gentility and has been rewarded for its outstanding cleanliness with a Blue Flag award.
The gently shelving beach is divided up by a series of timber groynes. Frinton's sand is of the type that is perfect for making sandcastles - nice and firm. This means it is also ideal for running around on and beach games, further asserting its credentials as a fine family beach.
To the rear of the beach is an extensive promenade, much of which is lined with colourful, ol
