The best restaurants serving American food in Colchester East of England

As just a pub this venue is great. But we decided to pop in for the food. The menu has been desecrated. There used to be interesting good value items like the beef rib, and the portions used to be reasonable. But now we bought a sharing meat platter for 2, it wouldn't have filled one person. It's a shame as it used to be good but just food wise it's gone very downhill in 2025.

pizza and burger were 10/10 Unfortunately my kebab and chips were cold. very unusual and hopefully a one off

Staff had no interest in helping with allergy information. Was told there was no allergy menu and that there was “probably” nothing we could have. I pushed and was told they could not be sure what ingredients were included! I pushed again and was handed an allergy folder. No dairy free ice cream options at all. Only one sorbet dish. How out dated! And disgracefully dismissive of our young boys needs in a family venue.

Great food, kids enjoyed it, the staff were fantastic especially the blonde haired lady (didn’t catch her name) who treated the kids to a frosty!
