The best restaurants in Castle Colchester East of England

This is the third time we've visited Moto Pizza and we can't fault it. The gluten free pizza is delicious - you can choose 5 toppings and it's cooked to order right in front of you. All other pizza / garlic bread is brought to the table, with toppings you will never even have heard of like carbonara and bolognaise. There's also a good drinks menu / selection of sides, and a relaxed, vibrant atmosphere. But the highlight of our visit today was the server, Luke. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely evening, was incredibly helpful and really friendly. We can't fault Moto Pizza on a normal day, but Luke made it even better. Thanks Luke.

A really lovely little cafe, really great staff, great selection of cakes and very clean! Never too loud and feels so welcoming! Couldn’t recommend it more!

Just called for a drink whilst working in Colchester ,decided to order some food, southern chicken bao bun and beer infused fries, absolutely delicious, perfectly presented next level, aslo great play list

How lucky we are to have this place in Colchester. The food was delicious and the portions generous when compared to many chain Italian restaurants. We had a tasty selection of breads and olives to start , followed by delicious arancini and then a sublime pistachio tiramisu. Relaxed and friendly service too. Highly recommended.

What can I say... The food was great, and great value too; the coffee was superb; the service was most excellent; and the ambience, well with it's quirky lay out this is a place you need to visit. I had a Cappuccino and the Bacon and Chicken Salad, and I had more than enough to eat. I can thoroughly recommend this place!

What an amazing find! I spent the first 27 years of my life visiting my Yaya in Greece This is the most authentic Greek food you can get. Amazing customer service and such good value. My friend had a delicious Chicken 'The Portion' and couldn't finish half of it, she saved the other half for her dinner! I had the amazing pork Souvalki. We both found our food incredibly good. I highly recommend trying anything from The Pitta!

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

Loved it here, amazing staff and atmosphere ❤️ amazing place all round, would recommend to anyone visiting!

My daughter and I shared a panini and we had a different filling in each end. Best bacon, Brie and cranberry I have had this year. Extremely friendly team . A great find we will be back. All the best for 2024

The best sushi spot in Colchester! Fresh sushi and always so much food for such a good price. Affordable for students but their specialty rolls are honestly incredible. Very vegetarian friendly!

It was a warm day and after the Rock Choir gig in Culver Square both my partner and I deserved a quenching drink...Juicy Bar Vitality hit the spot big time...Lemons, Apples and Soda...fantastic...the very best Juicy drink ever....

The former Poppy’s tea room, The Secret Garden is a really cosy little nook in Trinity Street, decorated to look like an indoor garden. The food is lovely and inexpensive and the staff are great, especially Skye, who is so friendly and cheerful, a real delight! Definitely going to be a regular visitor.

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 regularly go to Roots and Grooves, the staff are really friendly, the food is good. Love sitting upstairs on the sofa's! Coffee is great, we get take away a lot to walk through the park with. They also sell plants, vinyls and clothes.
