The best restaurants in Copford and West Stanway Colchester East of England

Love enny's grill ready to eat ata dindin, goes with so many dishes. I even made jollof rice with it. great home taste to it as well. Totally recommend.

Excellent food and service! Highly recommend.

Went for a family meal at the Alma over the weekend and it has really gone downhill… the roast board was disappointing in comparison to how it used to be - you used to get 4 meats instead of 3, and the pork used to be a nice lump of pork belly but was now a dry slice of loin. By far the worst part was the flies. The whole restaurant area was absolutely full of them and we spent the entire meal having to try and eat whilst simultaneously waft them away from ours and our children’s meals, which was very stressful. It’s a shame because it’s always been such a nice pub but we really didn’t enjoy our meal this weekend.

Emily was very polite made me comfortable, and was patient too. She was lovely when serving our table and made for an amazing evening.

Excellent dim sum and the excellent menu choice was very good too. The restaurant was pretty full which is always a good sign so it’s always essential to book. The staff are friendly and very efficient. The restaurant has a good size car park.

Amazing experience our server Joe was so lovely she made the day with my grandparents that even more special! We will definitely be coming back :)

Lots of flies around the tables in the back section of the pub near the doors, could probably do with investing in one of those mounted zappers.

Had a family meal for my granddaughter's birthday and the food was excellent, our waitress was lovely and the whole atmosphere was brilliant.

Breakfast with the Easter bunny was amazing. Very friendly and great service. The staff members Leisha & Lewis were amazing friendly and gave us a good morning.

I’ve been using this Chinese takeaway ever since they first opened (many years) and telling friends and family that it’s good value for money, however tonight the £37:60 meal was the worst I’ve ever had. The Barbecue spare ribs came in what I can only describe as diluted gravy, The tasteless Kung-po chicken, even though it came in a source was very dry, the chicken with cashews In yellow bean sauce was very similar to the king-po chicken and was accompanied by masses of onions to bulk out the meal. If ever there was any leftover, I would save it for the next day sadly this lot about £15 worth was scrape in the bin. I must admit the one chicken noodle soup was up to their normal standard and so was the special fried rice. I can only think they’ve had a change of Chef and it’s time for us to start using the other local takeaways. Overall, very disappointing meal.

Went through the drive through today (3 April, 3:30pm). The drink (Frappuccino with cream) was given overfilled and not properly closed, it was spilling out and there was no way to close it. Spilled all over the front of the car while I was trying to close it trying to stop the sticky leaking but made 100 times worse. The car was a sticky wet mess!

Poor service. Food not great. I am not surprised they are closing down their cafes. Should have left it as it was .

Had to sit out in the freezing marquee area as dogs are no longer welcome inside. Whilst there is a cart with treats and a water bowl in there, it was just too cold, particularly as the service in the cafe was so slow. I did get an apology for the length of time it took for the hot drinks to be made, but despite pointing out how cold it was in the dog friendly area, no solution was offered until another customer complained to a different member of staff, who said she'd put the heating on!!
