The best restaurants in New Town Colchester East of England

Fabulous food, freshly cooked. If you want proper Italian food, I recommend it. I had seafood spaghetti and the shellfish were all cooked perfectly. It’s obvious that quality ingredients are a priority. The wine was excellent too. A bit on the quiet side so no need to book.

Oh my goodness ... what can I say. Although Colchester was my home town, I am a tourist these days having left many years ago, so when I started to look for a decent 'treat' restaurant to eat at and discovered Kintsu, I was excited before I got there. From walking in the door we were looked after by Agape, I had the wine flight and there was nothing we could ask about the food or the wine that she didn't know. The food was amazing, there was nothing that wasn't perfect (and the wine was excellent as well). Fantastic evening, can't find the words to praise this place enough

Amazing selection of tasty vegan dishes from a select menu: starters, mains, noodles and fake duck/chkn options as well as tofu and veggie dishes. Great atmosphere, friendly staff. Definitely worth a visit!

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.

Love watching the football here! Great big screen

Came here earlier today, the food was 10/10 and the hospitality was on point, manager was extremely friendly checking in regularly along with the other staff, we’ll definitely be back! Thank you 😊

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.

We had a delicious meal at The Company Shed, which I think I last visited around a decade ago. We ordered scallops, prawns, crab cakes and sauteed potatoes. All very tasty, well-seasoned and a lovely, different place to dine. The food does come out when it's ready, but this didn't bother us and we enjoyed what we had. The food, a glass of local white wine and a beer, came to £60. I think this is quite reasonable for a good meal. I had booked my table via the online form back in September, a month before we came, and sent a follow up email during the week to confirm. Nonetheless, when we arrived, I was told they couldn't find my booking and we felt like an inconvenience. They seated us anyway but from when we arrived until when we left, there were only three tables with guests, including us, even though they turned customers away. All in all, a really lovely meal but maybe The Company Shed ought to improve their booking system, as I sensed a lack of communication amongst the team. Thanks for some delicious seafood, we will be back.

Very pleasant lunch. Friendly staff, generous portions of good food. Reasonably priced.

I recently visited TV, and I have to say, it was not a pleasant experience. While the food was okay—nothing memorable but decent enough—the service left a lot to be desired. Our waiter seemed uninterested and was rude from the start, which set a terrible tone for the entire meal. Basic manners were missing, and any question or request seemed like a huge inconvenience to him. The atmosphere didn’t help either; the place was dimly lit in a way that felt more unsettling than cozy. I didn't feel comfortable, and it wasn't an environment where you’d want to spend much time. Overall, the combination of mediocre food, unprofessional service, and an uncomfortable setting made this a place I won’t be returning to or recommending to others.

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

I have been to this on many occasions for a quiet dug with friends. I have also been in quiz night and a sat where there are a few more people in the bar. It has a small beer garden and a great selection of ales. It is close to the town centre and the owners are brilliant. Highly recommend this place.

Fantastic food fast delivery highly recommended

K’ s service was very good. He was so helpful!!
