To be honest not much choice or deals, a bit expensive for what it actually is £17 for burger and chips is a bit much and over £4 for a side order of chunky chips that was literally a handful in a tiny side plate , cheese garlic bread undercooked and overpriced

Walked here along the beach & sat outside because the sun was out, stopping for a quick beer and a snack. Ordering was via our mobile, using the QR code on your table. Went for 2 plates of the Bao bun starters and was pleasantly surprised to find out that they featured as part of a 2 for 1 offer. Food and drinks were promptly delivered, beer was cold, food was good , view out to sea was great so all in all very satisfied.

I have to say. The staff here absolutely went above and beyond for myself and my children. Especially Steven.. Sharon Jade. They were super friendly nothing they wouldn't do for us. And Reece who cooked majority of our food was so lovely food was on point. Especially his poached eggs. Would defo recommend

The wait was crazy we were told we were next to be served after an hour wait already and then continued watching other tables be served. Children were walking around annoyed their tables weren't being served. When our food arrived they looked and tasted like microwaved frozen meals. It cost us £60 for a family of 4. 4 meals and 1 drink each (that were either finished or flat by the time the food arrived)

We had a week break at Cooper's beach. Cannot fault the caravan, however, the restaurant is a massive let down to the site, It's looks clean and tidy, the food was extremely expensive for poor quality microwave rubbish, if you were served it in wetherspoons you would send it back. A portion of chips consisted of about 12 chips in a bowl smaller than a coffee cup, this was £3.49.. it was sent back and we got a refund. The soft drinks were priced ok, but alcoholic drinks were extortionate, over £6 for a bottle of beer The staff were a mixture of friendly to down right rude as well The toilets don't look like they get cleaned from the beginning of the day until the end. Save money on your holiday. Use the cooking facility in your caravan and take your own drinks into the entertainment area .

Unhelpful and unfriendly staff. Ordered food via app which supposed to include free drinks. Nowhere in the app says to choose drinks so I asked after paying, I was told that because I did not choose my drink in the app that I have to pay for my drink separately. This is our first day for our whole week stay, but definitely not using the restaurant facility after today.

I haven't had any experience like this before and I've never given a negative feedbeack about anything but what happened to me seems to be out of the ordinary. I ordered food, a juice and a glass of ice water, the glass of water was dirty as if it had never been washed and with something gelatinous in the water as if you were spit in the water, very disgusting, very disrespectful of them, and they did not even apologize as if everything was normal for them, and for this reason I do not recommend this place even if you need, be careful where you eat you can catch a contagious disease for these reasons, very unprofessional and unhygienic, the table we were seated at was not cleaned before we sat down, it was very sticky, I had to put all the crumbs aside. this is not how you want to be treated at a restaurant, given the price they charge in exchange for their services and the food they cook

Good service and clean. Food was decent pub style food with a variety for kids too. Only downside was ordering seemed more difficult than necessary via the app with payment not working properly...suspect due to lack of phone signal. Would think the smoking area could be moved well away from the outdoor eating area as well so nonsmokers are not in the smoke and you do not have to walk through it to get in and out of the building

Well the club house bar was a nightmare with only one bar staff on a Friday night. We had to give them bank card details for open tab and C, ould pay at night of night on card or cash. 🤔. We'll we waited for over an hour to get drinks 😠kids were really thirsty, I could not belive a whole row of tables were all waiting, when they came the order was worng. Saturday got better we waited an hour and a half for drinks 😠😠 again got order wrong, then order chips 3.49 well you get a big potion at McDonald's 99p ok in club house you will pay more but really. Drinks are 50% more on every thing you buy, I don't mine paying a wee bit more but 50% more is a bit much. Tables well some staff cear table buy throwing things on floor then wiped table. O. M. G. Really. THE BINGO WAS GOOD WITH GOOD WININGS, After bingo with went to pay was told 5.00 no that's not us OK its 25.00 no that not us the people before us left and did not pay this setup is not working. After 4 attempts and four different tables they got it right which was £39. 00 Ian that was 4 wee bowls os chips at 3.49 each 😠 got a jug of blackcurrants soda water for 4 kids was 4.00 but in afternoon it was owns price of 1.40. So tonight we will just pay bingo. So this a not a good start to our holidays we will not be back. 🤔🙄

Had a 45 Min wait for a table, which was fine as we where informed of this. Also told about 45 minutes for food. Again fine as been informed. 1 hour 55 Minutes later still nothing, so I went up to the bar area and see what looks like my order on the serving hot plate, told by a nice member of staff oh it's just coming now, I say is that mine that's been sat on that hot plate for a while, she wasn't sure. Turns out it was, looked awful didn't even try and eat it. Was still charged full price for the drinks. That was for starter, main meal was told not even been started, asked if we wanted to eat starter then go. 2 hours and 50 minutes wait with my very patient young children. To go back and make my own meal.

We came to Colchester Dough & Co as we had been given a £60 gift voucher from Dough & Co headquarters for 3 absolutely disgusting takeaway meals from Maldon Dough & Co shop. Burgers not cooked properly, didn't get dirty fries we ordered, just cold chips. Maldon manager refused to deal with us, so went to headquarters instead, who were very helpful. Vowed never again to go to Dough & Co in Maldon and so we ventured to Colchester one instead. Wow, what a complete difference I am glad to say. Service was fantastic, very friendly and helpful. Food was excellent, the garlic bread was divine, soooo good. The rest of our meals were really good too. Would definitely recommend Colchester Dough & Co and will definitely go there again! But don't bother going to Maldon Dough & Co unless you want food poisoning!

Excellent standard of fish and chips, as often recognised at this place over the years. The food is considerately packaged in boxes to also prohibit chips sticking to the paper. Good value for the money, for all that the money is.

After a bit of shopping we were looking for somewhere for lunch and came across Poppy's. Very quaint little tea room set out very nice with 50s music playing in the background with lots of old 50s posters and pictures on the walls. We ordered coffees, my with having black and me a caramel latte which was extremely nice. We both ordered sandwiches,my wife having tuna mayo with red onion and me having a club sandwich of chicken,bacon,lettuce,tomato and mayo. The sandwich was then lightly toasted. They were both very well presented and were very tasty. Would highly recommend this lovely little tea room!!
