Peldon Rose Inn in Colchester

Turned up just after kitchen closed, fine, understood no food, the lady serving was bolshy and unfriendly. If the tide wasn't in we would of gone elsewhere. It's our 3rd attempt now, I don't think we shall do a 4th!

I would recommend the delicious vegan stroganoff.

Lovely food staff very friendly. Celebrating my sister 70th birthday.

Stopped on the off chance of Sunday lunch. Large means big, small portions then pud is my next time choice. Gr8 food. Lovely staff

Fantastic place for food service is excellent

Beautiful ambience and good staff

Lovely spot, friendly staff, great food. Glad we stopped here for lunch, we will definitely be back!

Friendly staff, lovely setting, sat in the beer garden by the pond with my wife and granddaughter.

Lovely food and friendly staff, this is the pub for you

Wonderful well kept pub and garden. Plenty of parking. Clean and welcoming. Food is delicious. Staff friendly.

We had a lovely seafood linguine and a lamb and mint pie, both meals were lovely, it's a stunning pub and restaurant and the service was great.

I visited this venue for the first time in 40 years and my visit lived up to my good memories. A great dining experience!

Absolutely lovely place. One of those old buildings with nice food and drink.

Lovely pub, only had drinks, but the menu looked great and the staff were fab.

We booked for a Sunday roast on the 2/6/24 and hit the jackpot. The meal was one of the best roasts we have had (sorry mum). The staff were polite and courteous at all times which makes the meal. We finished off with coffees in the large garden at the back. All in all a perfect Sunday afternoon.

Had a lovely Sunday roast. meal and service was excellent garden lovely and clean plenty of room and situated beside a lovely lake Will definitely come back

Lovely pub grub here, excellent service and fantastic location with plenty of outdoor space and parking. Will return.

Friendly staff and well priced, good food.

Always a pleasure to eat and stay when working away.

Lovely pub restaurant. Service was fantastic and the food was amazing. Would highly recommend but maybe visit during the week as it can be busy.

We had a lovely stay here for a wedding at East Mersea Hall. The room had everything we needed with an ensuite. The room was comfortable with a nice outlook over the countryside. The ensuite was a little quirky in its layout and the shower could do with a bit more power, but clean and well cared for. The greeting on arrival and breakfast was friendly and very helpful. Definitely recommend.

I thought the seafood in the Linguni was microwaved ,but the sauce was good

Wonderful experience. Delicious food and a very warm welcome. We got stranded today on our way to Mercer due to too high tide over the bridge. Colleen looked after us, and despite huge traffic for same reason, we receieved fabulous service. The place is beautiful and the food was incredible. We whole heartedly recommend Peldon Rose Inn! A massive shout out to Colleen for looking after us so well.

Lovely old pub, desserts were chef's kiss

Staff very helpful! Food delicious! Fantastic Pub!

One of the best meals I have had on this trip to Britain

Lovely place to eat. Hot fresh and good portions. Staff very helpful and polite.

We booked the Wake here for after my Dad's funeral. The staff were very helpful at the initial meeting even swapping a couple of dishes on the menu. The food was ample with a good selection with very little left at the end. Thank you for making us feel welcome and comfortable.

Excellent country pub just up rd from mersea. Beautiful interior and atmosphere. Food is excellent. Highly recommended A+++

The food was tasty and fresh. It's just far enough away to be quiet and cosy. Pet friendly and perfect stopping spot for an impromptu lunch on the journey home.

Very helpful staff. More veggie options please

What a wonderful dining experience my friend and I had on at 1.30pm lunchtime on Wednesday 28th February- made all the more enjoyable by the attentive Colleen!! The Fish and Chips with mushrooms and Fruit Ciders followed by Americano coffee - a delight to the palate!!! The management must be very proud to have Colleen on their team. Rest assured, I will be recommending your Inn to all my friends and family. Thank you!!!

We came across this inn quite by chance and we’re so glad we did. It’s beautiful! And the food was lovely

Lush Sunday dinner with family. I had suculant lamb dinner _ small portion and Lemon parfait with soft fruit . Just outside West mersea island road .

Lovely roast dinner on Sunday. We sat in the new part of the pub - The Deck House. It was lovely and bright. Will definitely be returning!

Absolutely lovely pub. Great Sunday roast, unreal deserts. Lovely staff.

Have been to the peldon rose several times before and it has been good I went for a birthday meal in the evening in the restaurant it was freezing cold I sat theire shivering throught the meal only had one fire lit in the bar it was drab no decorations no atmosphere the service was terrible as the table had been booked after we had been given our drinks we sat shivering waiting to be served for three quarters of a hour it was a week day and not even busy the food was awful just looked as if it had been thrown on the plate and also almost cold the chips looked like and tasted reheated not a cheap place to eat 25 pounds for a pie which was supposed to be steak mushroom in red wine when it arrived it was minced beef and looked like a load of slop I didn't want to upset my son so I ate it the new potatoes with it and veg were almost cold and half cold I have had better at a pie bar it has always been good in the past warm and inviting but it was freezing cold drab and totely uninviting will not be going theire again maybe they could only afford to light one fire certainly has gone down hill in every aspect spoilt my birthday

Absolutely the best Sunday roast you could ever have

Had lunch here. Dog was allowed in. Lovely building. Great food. Friendly service.

Excellent pub. Went along for a family meal. Didn't stay in the rooms so can't comment. Lovely meal of very good quality. Dropped a star as I didn't find any meringue in the Peldon mess and was not keen on double clotted cream on top , but that is just my preference. Also, the sound of a door bell ringing every so often was annoying. These were just small things as we have been back since . Staff were very friendly and efficient. Would always return to this pub when in the area.

Have enjoyed sitting in the garden a few times recently. It's very clean and tidy with very nice furniture and feels relaxing! There's plenty of space and a lovely ambience. Inside has lots of different areas and its quite cosy.Especially in the winter when the log burners are alight! There is a large conservatory which is lovely and light and very nice to dine in, but there's lots of dining areas in the Pub and a good menu. Lovely service from Emma !

What an awsome pub, I visited for lunch with my wife and inlaws for a birthday meal. The food was delicious (I had the ribs) and the staff were very attentive we will definitely be back soon, thank you

We had lunch here. Lovely food and good portions. Plenty of choice on the menu and good service 👍

Great lunch and fantastic service, with a very tasty pint of Guinness, just popped in while passing but we were made to feel welcome

Gorgeous setting fab old world bar food very good rooms comfortable definitely will be making another visit

Beautiful old essex pub,with traditional low beams and a warming atmosphere

Nice garden but no decent local beer

Three of us sat outside in the garden enjoyed a drink before a lovely evening meal , good service great food

A beautiful old pub , with lots of character . Beautiful garden over looking a large pond.

Didn't stay here but did pop in for a drink on the way back from a cycle ride to Mersea. Lovely old pub in prominent position just outside Mersea. Nice garden and good selection of drinks. Looked like a good menu as well, so may well be back to try it.

Popped in for a drink as we where passing by. We will definitely be going back here for a meal. Lots of history to the building, lovely beer garden with a beautiful pond to sit by. The landlady was very friendly and welcoming.The food looked really good and everyone around us who was eating was very complimentary about their meal.

Had a fantastic afternoon with friends.

Lovely place, lovely people and lovely food 👌🏼

Lovely stop location, to have a rest with a lovely outdoor seating area over the pond. Will definitely stop at when passing. Food is very good.
