Unexpected visit due to road works blocking the road at Peldon. Had the Battered Plaice and it was exceptional!! Batter thin and crisp to the last piece, exactly how you always hope it will be , but never is. The Place was very large, moist, white and fresh and covered the plate. With the addition of my favourite real ale "Abbot" i was in heaven. The 2 ladies both went for the Lambs Liver and Bacon which was equally well received (although i know they both prefer Calf's Liver). Not exactly local to us but i am sure we will soon be back.

Lovely little country Pub. The menu was a bit small but there were plenty of options on the specials board. Good choice of beers and wines. First drinks order was a little slow however, understandable as the restaurant was very busy.

Wow what an amazing experience. Myself and my family had a Sunday roast with starters and dessert. The food was amazing. Fresh full tasting vegetables and roast beef like I've never tasted before. All cooked to perfection. Highly recommend and certainly will return. 10/10 on service and quality of food.

Took parents here recently for lunch. It was amazing as always. Two had the fish and chips and one had the scampi whilst I had the homemade chicken and leek pie which was gorgeous! All the other meals were 10/10 well preserved hot and good quality. We keep going back because the staff are lovely and the good is so good. Keep it up you so deserve the praise.

A busy country Pub/Restaurant on the south side of Colchester. We were welcomed and shown to our seats. The menue was varied plus a good selection of 'Specials'. Although busy, our meals were soon served and each was delicious and freshly cooked. Too full for a sweet we are are looking forward to a repeat visit soon.

Just moved to the area and took my family for a Christmas Eve walk to the pub. My 12 and 14 year old children, along with our impeccably behaved Labrador were turned away…. On Christmas Eve. I’ll never set foot in there again. I took a party of 8 there a few weeks ago for a work function (I’ll take my work functions elsewhere too) and the food was adequate.

Our 4th visit and we were not disappointed. The staff are always so friendly and helpful. The pub atmosphere is welcomeing and the food is big wow. We will continue to drop in whenever we are in the area because the Donkey and Buskins does not discriminate against dog owners. 🐕 I can recommend the steak and ale pie. It's pastry is crisp, the steak filling plump and satisfying - excellent. A true work of art.

I took my wife out for Sunday Lunch for her birthday and it was excellent, service was brilliant and we had a really good time. I was reading some of the recent reviews on tripadvisor, when I read ones like the recent one from the Badminton Club though its difficult to understand why the owner chooses to loose regular custom for the sake of a couple of glasses of water, most pubs will provide reasonable requests for this as part of the service, not the most commercial PR decision really, nothing to do with us but it seemed a bit self destructive to me, still its your pub, and we had a really good experience when we were there.

I'm a volunteer driver with our local Community Bus and drove 14 locals for lunch at the Donkey & Buskins today - 1 Nov. I've been doing this for 10 years and have never had a 100% full marks satisfaction score. They all loved it. Service was great and attentive. Lovely people involved with the business. The food was excellent - special mention must go to the "home made pie of the day" .... wowza, that certainly hit the spot with those that had it. Everything was excellent - not one murmur of complaint. I will bring another Group here in a couple of weeks time. Today's diners insist I bring them back again .... which I will. They also looked after me as the driver. A great pub. Lovely village. Lovely staff. Great food. 'Nuff said methinks 👍😉😁

Come here for lunch occasionally, usually very nice. However, unlike a lot of pubs, they don’t offer small portions for those of us with smaller appetites which means a lot of waste. This time, Ordered ham sandwich ,had to cut a lot of fat off ham, and bread appeared very dry. Will give the pub another chance though. Has the pub changed hands recently ?

Booked a table for our sons 21st birthday lunch a month before, on arrival there was a little confusion about our allocated table as we had our furry friend with us, it was quickly rectified and we got comfy in the bar area, the bar team were super friendly and kept us all fed and watered, food was delicious and we rolled home for a much needed nap. Love this place. Looking forward to a long winter of roaring fires and walks to the Donkey & Buskins. 😍

Been coming here every Friday for months with a decent sized group. Every week we have at least two rounds of alcoholic drinks, soft drinks and often order a few snacks. Tonight one of our party ordered a tap water - on the way out the male owner cornered the young women in our group and told her that she couldn’t order tap water because ‘he doesn’t make any money from that and he works in the service industry so can’t be having people order tap water’. Very intimidating, very rude, very entitled, and very poor customer service. I will never return to this establishment based on the comment made this evening. One comment about tap water has lead to this establishment losing loyal customers or ‘consistent income’ because clearly this owner cares only for what’s in their customers pockets and not about the experience they are having. Extremely disappointed is an understatement.

Planned evening with girlfriends for midweek food and drinks. Ordered a bottle of house white wine and food. Reordered wine as a group of 5 only to find they charged £37.50 per bottle - for house wine. Asked waitress about the cost to say they don’t do house wine and they have more expensive bottles. Made out it’s our problem as should have asked for wine list. Perhaps, as a customer, we should have been informed there’s no house wine and offered a lust to chose from. Eek, need a mortgage to go here for mediocre food in a pub. Wont be returning

First visit to the pub this evening after a long day furniture shopping. First thing was the friendliness of the staff: nothing was too much bother for them. My wife is Coeliac & the waitress explained what Gluten Free options were available for her. She chose the sea bass & was most pleased with her choice. I had the home made steak & ale pie & my father opted for the rock eel & chips. Desserts were the sticky toffee pudding with custard & 2 of the Gluten Free chocolate assiettes. Quality of food was superb and portion sizes generous. Just loved the atmosphere of the place, we were made to feel very welcome. As we have just moved into the area we will most definitely be returning to the Donkey & Buskin very soon.

We decided to meet for Coffee at the Minories as we often met there in our 45 year history with the Minories our intention was to go else where for Lunch but as it smelt really good we decided to stay in hind sight may be we should have changed our table ( as my Mum & Dad were sat it the wing chairs) our table was not really conducive for lunch .we pulled another chair up to the table so that we could put our coats on as there was no coat rack , our Coffee arrived in a timely manner , we ordered our lunch , by this time the Restaurant was quite full we were half way through our lunch when I presume the Restaurant Manager asked if we were using the chair which we clearly were albeit for coats I replied yes when she said she needed the chair I asked what we should do with our coats she said put them on the back of your chair or on the floor , we were shocked by her reply as she at no stage offered any apologies . Although our food was good we left leaving no tip as all of us felt her rude interruption was completely unnecessary. What a shame as all the years we have been going there we now feel we don’t want to use this restaurant again.
