Went for breakfast, I had traditional, it was greasy and the egg was overcooked and yolk hard. The big breakfast was also greasy and the 2 sausages were not cooked, asked to cook/fry longer and they still came back raw and colourless, also very obvious cheap sausage that ruin meal. And when asked to be cooked a bit longer was told they were pre-cooked and can’t be raw!! Maybe chef is in the wrong job if can’t cook/brown a sausages. Polite front of house but will never eat at the Dog and Pheasant again.

YOU HAVE TO HERE......Being completely honest was very reluctant to come here as it always looked an old man rough pub, but the Mrs insited we need to go and try it. I have to admit I was so wrong, what an amazing pub to come too. The staff are awesome and nothing is too much effort and a great laugh. They get dressed up for the pub quiz's. The food is beautiful as well, and the best thing about it all, is that everything is reasonably priced. For example, two pints of cider and two mains was under £25 for two people.... and the food is really flavoursome and tasty. The Mrs and I are so happy we have found a new local so close that is stunning inside and out.

Today I flew in to the D&P for a quick bit of food and a pint… I was greeted by Rhonda, she was great… warm, funny and very personable. She told me how she was recently married, showed me some wedding pics and went out of her way to make me feel welcome. Thanks Rhonda and the D&P 🙌🏼

Nice food. Service ok, could do with more staff, but then that seems the norm nowadays. Asked for them to bring out a cake for a birthday after food, but they forgot. Waited a while for them to clear our plates, they didn't, so I asked for cake back and took it home. Kids get restless waiting unfortunately.

A bit of a disappointment, my wife had Mac n cheese that was just bland and the salad wilted , I went for a rump steak asked for it medium ( a good vet would have been able to revive it ) and it was as tough and chewy as a Grand national race winner , luckily I had a scampi side the saved the day . Just average

The Dog & Pheasant Pub in Colchester is an absolute delight and a true example of a classic British pub done right. From the moment you walk in, you’re welcomed by a warm and cozy atmosphere that makes you feel right at home. The décor strikes the perfect balance between traditional charm and modern comfort, with its wooden beams, comfortable seating, and a fireplace that adds to the inviting ambiance. The food here is fantastic, offering a great selection of hearty pub classics as well as some more contemporary dishes. Everything is freshly prepared and bursting with flavor. The Sunday roast is particularly noteworthy—perfectly cooked meats, fluffy Yorkshire puddings, and all the trimmings. The portions are generous, and the prices are very reasonable, making it excellent value for money. The drink selection is also impressive, with a wide variety of ales, beers, wines, and spirits to choose from. Whether you’re in the mood for a pint of something local or a nice glass of wine, there’s something for everyone. What really sets the Dog & Pheasant apart is the service. The staff are incredibly friendly and attentive, always making sure that you’re well taken care of. They’re knowledgeable about the menu and happy to make recommendations, which adds to the overall positive experience. Whether you’re stopping by for a quick drink, enjoying a meal with friends, or looking for a relaxed evening out, the Dog & Pheasant is the perfect spot. It’s a wonderful local pub with great food, a fantastic atmosphere, and excellent service. Highly recommended for anyone in Colchester!

We've eaten here a few times now and did our first quiz night this evening and we've always had a good experience. Every visit the staff have been fab, especially Aaron who's customer service is exceptional, can't do enough for you and is hot on resolving any issue quickly. First time meeting the landlady this evening at the quiz and she was also really friendly and welcoming to our group and they did lots to make the children feel special too, which is lovely to see in a family friendly pub. They have a great outdoor area and little park for the children, car parking and the interior has recently been renovated to a high standard too. Highly recommend a visit.

First time going today! Lovely atmosphere. Staff very helpful and friendly! Food for me was amazing! Chicken, bacon,mayo wrap and chips! Husband had the steak & cheese in ciabatta, he said it was lovely but the steak was a little too chewy and under seasoned hence the 4* for food. However food was great value and well worth it! Toilets were immaculate (in the ladies) will definitely come back again. Thank you.

Absolutely lacking training waiting over and hour and a half for our complete order to come out, only ordered 3 small plates a burger and and lasagna with a kids meal, waited a reasonable time for our small plates and the kids main to come out as they were delivered we told the staff to bring mains as soon as they were ready along with the kids dessert, after half hour of finish small plates we begin asking where are mains are to which one member told us the kitchen are really busy and couldn't give us time while the other was sitting with her friends seeming disinterested and more concerned with what the latest Facebook post is, they're all clearly left a riot with no management

Usually would love it here only thing that saved it was the girl with the pony tail on the bar! She was lovely but unfortunately clearly the management had left 3 youngsters in charge, dirty plates everywhere, kitchen struggling and forget about the kids meal deal because you won’t receive your desert!! Even if you ask 3 times! A simple fruit skewer didn’t seem too much to ask for but I must be wrong…. My meal was burnt and just tbh awful quality I didn’t expect too much but even so was disappointed…. Usually out go to…. Will probably be our stay away 👍👍 NOT the servers faults this is a management, kitchen and food quality error!! Get it resolved asap if you want your regulars to stay/return

Took my family out to lunch. There are plenty of parking spaces and car charging points. Place looked much better than the last visit some years ago. Clean and tidy interior and a good selection of tables to choose from as wasn't too busy. The ordering process is either through an app or at the bar. We chose the bar as we wanted some tap water that isn't a choice on the app. Food came quickly and was very good quality. It was a good experience and we will return.

Ordered takeaway after receiving a flyer through the door. There was a QR code for online ordering which gave 20% off. After waiting over an hour for our food to arrive we contacted the restaurant who could not see our order on the system. No discount or extras were provided as compensation.
