Patch in Colchester

I went for one of the evening music sessions at Patch, it was my first time visiting and brought the kids as it was a Christmas event, despite being the only children there we were made to feel very welcome and the hot drinks were ace, it felt like a special night for the kids and they loved it. Will absolutely go again.

Delicious food, lots of options and reasonably priced. Had the hash stack which was yummy and apparently the scrambled egg was the best my aunt had ever had! Thank you. Great for milk allergies too as most items are vegan.

Gorgeous freshly prepared food served by fantastic, friendly, professional staff. The place is well set out with tables not too close together, although the space doesn't lend itself to cosy chats as it is a little bleak, but spotlessly clean and full of good information. It's a great place to get something delicious to eat and drink, and is peaceful enough to get some work done or books read. Not overpriced either. Great value for money.

We dined here on a Saturday Evening. The atmosphere is relaxed and friendly. The service is excellent. The meal was served as a vegan-friendly tasting menu: bread course; appetiser; three main courses; one dessert course. The food is delicious, and beautifully presented. There is a fantastic mix of tastes and textures, and the whole meal was perfectly balanced. We left feeling comfortably full, as well as having enjoyed a marvellous dining experience. Will certainly visit again. Soon.

The place was very cute and cosy. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was delicious, good selections for vegetarians and the price was ok.

Tried the 6 course tasting menu, absolutely loved it, such interesting and tasty dishes. Was a great evening, staff fabulous and the Rose wine recommended was delicious, I highly recommend this amazing cafe so lovely to have a decent vegetarian restaurant. I believe they may now allow dogs in the day time, so another big plus for us.

We visited for an anniversary celebration. We booked a table and paid a deposit. On arriving, it was like a dance. Everything complimented the food and the wine pairing is a total plus. My meat eating husband wolfed it all down. Everyone commented on the bhajee dish- it was complimented by home grown asparagus and the loveliest dip. After, we spoke to Sid about his love and passion for farming the food. Honestly, blown away by how amazing the team of people are. It's not a meal- it's an experience. Thank you.

Great vegetarian menu. Met friend for lunch here. Good atmosphere. Brilliant service. Good to see it busy and will always come back. The team all seem lovely.

patch is a welcome addition to the city centre. The team always offer a warm welcome and friendly service. The food is delicious and the atmosphere is a delight.

This is a lovely restaurant. The staff are warm, friendly and amazingly efficient. The ambience is cool and relaxed. And the food is wonderful; a beautiful range of vegetarian and vegan dishes, colourfully presented and utterly delicious. It’s also excellent value for money - and easily the best place in Colchester for brunch or lunch.

Our first time to ‘Patch Lates’ having visited a few times during the day for lunch. We weren’t disappointed. Every plate on the menu was amazing - can say that because we ordered all six small plates! (recommended number three each so not too greedy!) Staff were friendly and helpful, nothing too much bother. Best vegetarian restaurant in Colchester - have already recommended to friends!!

Popped in here during a day out in town as the wife had been here before, so decided we'd go again. Although we're both meat eaters we do also like veggie food and this has to be one of the best, if not the best, in town. All ingredients either grown themselves or sourced from other local growers, ensuring a wide range of choices on the menu, so many of which we'd have liked to try. I had miso stuffed mushrooms and the wife had a beetroot infused risotto, both of which were well presented and delicious. Café not aiming to be 'posh' or salubrious but simply set out, friendly staff and reasonable pricing. Definitely be back.

Visited Patch lates this evening. Food, service and atmosphere 10/10. Delicious selection of plant based small plates using local, seasonal ingredients. Staff are absolutely lovely. Will definitely be back! Highly recommend.

Absolutely amazing food, I've been a few times now in the last year. The only thing I'd say is that they need to change their menu up a bit. Would be great to try something new! :)

The Food and the service are perfect. From the savoury to the sweet and the drinks menu too...this is thoughtful and delicious. The community vibe and value are genuinely Brill.

Fabulous lunch, the risotto was the best I have ever tasted, so fantastic to have a good vegetarian cafe in Colchester, highly recommended. Prices spot on for the superb quality of food.

Superb restaurant serving a wonderful selection of plant based dishes for vegetarians and vegans . Lovely staff, efficient service and very reasonably priced. Exactly what Colchester needs. Would urge people to support it.

The coffee is always incredible and second only to the food. Everything I have ever ordered here, you can feel the level of thought and love in it. Their lunch menu is simple but there’s something for everyone. Highly recommend the banana bread French toast, the hash brown stack and the miso mushrooms. The service is always so friendly and unpretentious. Veggie paradise and leading the way for plant based eating in Colchester. Can’t wait to check out the evening/dinner offerings!

This has to be the most underwhelming Café I’ve been to in years, The menu barely changes the variety is poor, the cake choices are minimalist, given that this is a specialised cafe for vegetarians Very Poor, Zero Stars from me , I can’t see this lasting long Sorry
