The best restaurants in Stanway Colchester East of England

Delicious food, we felt really looked after and was really reasonable considering the excellent quality.

I had heard good things and was not disappointed! What a wonderful dining experience. Such hospitality is rare these days but the team made it a truly special experience! The Jalfrezi was fragrant, Jaipur Lamb melted in the mouth and one of the party who likes it hot said this was the hottest Phall he had ever tried and he loved every mouthful! The evening was finished off with complimentary brandy... stunning! Will definitely be back. Thank you to all the staff!!

Great Sunday lunch, great service and Ian is an excellent host.

Good food and good friendly service 👍

We came here for a Sunday carvery with quite high expectations as this pub was rated in the top 10 of pubs in Colchester for a Sunday roast by the gazette , but we were pretty disappointed to be honest, the portions were pretty good but was let down a bit by the standard, it wasn’t the worst roast I’ve had in a pub but certainly wasn’t the best, the gravy was watery, the cabbage was quite hard, meat was a little dry, potatoes were ok but could do with being a bit crispy, we were also disappointed with the deserts.. a couple of us ordered the meringue mountain.. expecting there to be a fair bit of meringue as the name suggests! Well it was hard to find meringue in it! It should have been called cream mountain, about half a meringue in it, bit of ice cream and strawberry and the rest squirty cream! Others had sticky toffee pudding.. all complained about it being salty, Safe to say won’t be returning

Great cappuccino. Been busy but great service both times I've been. Coffee has a nice taste and is reasonably priced. They do take away as well as sitting in.

Bacon roll freezing, hardly any bacon in it. Drink spilled in bag. Over an hour for delivery started at 10 mins then 30 mins and just kept getting later and it turned up stone cold and wet from my drink spilled. Not oat milk as requested either!

Always come through the drive through and most of the time get served by such a lovely lady (Pam) always takes the time out of her day to be polite and wish you a lovely day. Never seems stressed or rushed. All of the girls that work there are lovely! Never disappoints

Came for my birthday meal had the rotisserie chicken and turkey Christmas burger the food was lovely and the waitress we had was very welcoming will be coming back again

Had a fireside Christmas spa day at Bannatyne Colchester today and had an amazing treatment from Aidee and my mum got treated by Julie who was brilliant too! Would recommend to anyone for a really relaxing spa day, all staff were friendly and facilities were clean

Speedy and friendly service. Great chicken!

Very small place but offering a large variety of great dishes with wonderful services. Will definitely return again soon.👏

Thank you for nice food, great atmosphere and excellent services. We had a really tough morning and was looking for somewhere to eat. We found The Princess Charlotte upon driving by. No regrets!

5 star good hygiene rating (2024), took the time to check for allergens, tasty and good value 👍

Recently moved to the area and have been looking for a new Chinese takeaway to order from. Found the online ordering system very easy to use and delivery was very fast for a bank holiday. The food was absolutely incredible! I’ve never had food delivered so hot. Portion sizes are the best I’ve ever had from a Chinese takeaway too. I am very satisfied with my experience and will definitely be ordering again!! Thank you!
