The best restaurants in New Town Colchester East of England

First time here with my family, absolutely lovely food and good customer service, the food was very good quality, will definitely come again.

Booked via their booking app - got confirmation via email - arrived promptly only to find it was shut! But of a joke really !

Kintsu is a haven for food lovers in North Essex. It has never failed to disappoint, and is our destination restaurant for celebrations. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the menu always offers quality we don’t find anywhere else in Essex or South Suffolk, and the quality of the tasting menu (which regularly innovates) would not be out of place in London where I often eat out, save that few London restaurants offer such a personal experience, in proximity to the chef. Kintsu is genuinely a hidden gemstone in Colchester, and my only concern in recommending it is that it might make it harder to get a table.

Big portions are so great for sharing. The food was really good quality and it was nice to try from the Szechuan menu. We also got a bonus karaoke room for my brother's birthday. Definitely recommend.

Went to see a local band playing at this pub. A very small place, but a very lively atmosphere. Staff are super friendly and despite it's reputation is actually a very safe pub and a really good night out. Drinks are a good price and everything was perfect on our visit.

Another scrumptious fish and chip tea. Consistently good as usual. You need to try them you'll become a regular. Warm and friendly part of Newtown community.

Cracking pub which I was made to feel very welcome from the first time I walked through the door by the landlord barstaff and locals. Great selection of drinks and big screen to watch all the sport, always a good atmosphere.

Delicious food, quick and nice service!

Brought ice cream in their very expensive and hardly open closes early for summer, need todo better snacks foods ie hot dogs burgers pizza etc

Al llegar nos llevaron a una mesa con no cubiertos. Un miembro del personal, literalmente tiró 8 cuchillos y tenedores en la mesa para establecer allí. No hay servilletas o cualquier otra cosa. Nos quedamos muy impresionados por el comportamiento grosero. Nos levantamos para ir al buffet y me dijeron a sentarse y que íbamos a ser traído entrante. Un poco de comunicación hubiera estado bien! El primer plato era dos cubos de pollo cebolla un duro correosos bhaji samosa y un pequeño. No me gusta la cebolla bhajis o samosas, así que cuando voy a un buffet es porque me gusta elegir lo que quiere comer. El buffet no era mejor. Fue limitada y la carne era duro y difícil. No volveremos muy pronto. No podía salir de allí lo suficientemente rápido.

For years I have heard people talk of this place, but was never able to find a seat when visiting. Over the last few years I had not heard much about them and thought they were out of business. I ended up stopping in at noon on a weekday and found a seat. The company shed did not disappoint! The Mersea Oysters were the best I’ve ever had and the scallops were to die for. My mate got crab cakes and they were full of crab, not breading and veggies like so many. For the record this place is still open and amazing!!

I had a great experience at Pizza Hut, thanks to Swarada's excellent service! She was friendly, attentive, and made sure everything was perfect during my visit. Her welcoming attitude and professionalism added to the overall dining experience. It's always nice to see someone who genuinely cares about customer satisfaction. Keep up the great work, Swarada!

Had the club sandwich and breakfast 5’’ bap was lovely specially the coleslaw and staff very friendly.

We have finally dined in Tandoori Villa after living not far away from the place for a couple of years. We can say this place is like to become our preferred dinner spot. Food tasted great, place has a proper homey vibe and prices are more than reasonable. You can bring your own drinks. Pleasant service and quick service.

Lovely pub, friendly atmosphere, great staff and licensee. The beer is always top notch, with a selection to please most. Has to be one of the best in Colchester. Give it a go!
