Hawthorns Fish and Chips in Colchester

Really lovely take away large tasty fish and crispy fluffy chips was served by a lovely friendly gentleman excellent choice of menu

I thought we'd lost him! Imagine my delight when I recently discovered he was still there, every morning from about 8am until 3pm or so, just around the corner from where he used to be, tucked in between Paragon Stainless & Howdens Joinery, itself next to Go Bananas and opposite Jump Street.Order the Girly Stick and get what amounts to a full English - er - Scotish(!) - breakfast in a half baguette, with a cup of tea (free refills!) - all for £2.50! And it's great food! He has a wider choice of sauces than anywhere I know. I always go for mustard and hot chilli.Go as much for the camaraderie and conversation as for the actual food itself. Joe's is a local institution. All the local tradespeople go there. Catch this iconic local venue while you are here - you will be glad you found it!

We called in today and were lucky enough to get a table. Nicest breakfast we've had out in ages. The coffee was gorgeous, staff and service were excellent and the place had a lovely buzz. Will definitely be back

Beautiful decorated hotel.lovely couple that run it.the breakfast was great..Will be back..beautiful village.

The driver arrived with the thermal bag open, the food is cold and inedible.
