Roo's in Colchester

Been there several times a week over the last few months and the staff are just miserable and rude every time. I'm sorry your customers are an inconvenience! It's not like I asked for anything different.... a latte!

Unusual and beautiful building. typical spoons but in an old theatre. Well worth the visit.

Got takeaway from Colchester wagamumma tonight food was excellently cooked . Great size portion. Spoke to a member off staff and found out food was cooked by Zion so big thumbs up to him . Would highly recommend

We were looking forward to our visit, but unfortunately the experience didn’t meet expectations. The food lacked seasoning, and the greens arrived undressed. We had to move tables twice as they hadn’t been properly cleaned. We asked to sit in the sun but were told it wasn’t possible, as it would be too difficult for staff to manage different areas. When we gave feedback about the food, we were told the chef would be informed, but there was no follow-up, just dessert menus brought over. At the till, the coffees were taken off the bill, which we appreciated. However, the meal still felt greatly overpriced given the overall quality. The outdoor area needed attention—signage had bird droppings, and the patio and furniture could use a good clean(sweeping and power washing. If Milsoms are going to charge premium prices and market themselves as an upscale venue, then attention to detail really matters. We have no desire to return.

We met some old friends for a drink and food at the Kings Arms in Crouch street. The pub itself is very pleasant and the staff were very pleasant as well. We decided to order food. I ordered the Scampi at £15 and the ladies each ordered the grilled cheese which was £10.at that price I was expecting a really exceptional Grilled Cheeses with artisan bread and great cheese and a nice side salad. Describes as “ A medley of mature cheddar cheese and emmentsl with bechemel sauce in a toasted farmhouse loaf”….What they actually received was beyond appalling, 2 slices of processed white bread with a slice of plastic processed cheese no obvious sauce and a small bland salad.. I’ve had similar cheap toasties before , typically paying £2.50-£3 but to charge £30 for these sandwiches is nothing short of criminal. The scampi came with 13 chips and 7 normal pieces of scampi and 3 tiny pieces that were 90% breadcrumbs. Compared to other local pubs such as the Princess Charlotte this was similar to the “light version”. I would never recommend eating at this pub although as a drinking hole it’s very pleasant .
