The best restaurants serving British food in Colchester East of England

Superb breakfast, the 125, wished I’d had the 600 but all the ingredients were excellent. Very friendly staff in a very smart space. Would like to visit again if I find myself in the area

Really lovely take away large tasty fish and crispy fluffy chips was served by a lovely friendly gentleman excellent choice of menu

My daughter and I shared a panini and we had a different filling in each end. Best bacon, Brie and cranberry I have had this year. Extremely friendly team . A great find we will be back. All the best for 2024

It was a warm day and after the Rock Choir gig in Culver Square both my partner and I deserved a quenching drink...Juicy Bar Vitality hit the spot big time...Lemons, Apples and Soda...fantastic...the very best Juicy drink ever....

El personal es muy amable. parecía El pescado y las patatas fritas siempre sabor increíble, tanta variedad. Servicio rápido. Yo diría que mejor fish and chips en todas Essex. No puedo calificar este lugar lo suficiente!

I thought we'd lost him! Imagine my delight when I recently discovered he was still there, every morning from about 8am until 3pm or so, just around the corner from where he used to be, tucked in between Paragon Stainless & Howdens Joinery, itself next to Go Bananas and opposite Jump Street.Order the Girly Stick and get what amounts to a full English - er - Scotish(!) - breakfast in a half baguette, with a cup of tea (free refills!) - all for £2.50! And it's great food! He has a wider choice of sauces than anywhere I know. I always go for mustard and hot chilli.Go as much for the camaraderie and conversation as for the actual food itself. Joe's is a local institution. All the local tradespeople go there. Catch this iconic local venue while you are here - you will be glad you found it!

We had a beautiful lunch here today. Food was excellent and the young staff were so attentive, polite and friendly. First class in every aspect. Well done

OMG! 😍 We ordered a tiramisu for our daughter’s 21st birthday, Pantry 61 did not disappoint. Penny was great, she made sure that all our requirements were met and was fantastic to deal with. The actual tiramisu tasted AMAZING and was excellent value for money. Thank you so much Penny and Beverley, you made our daughter’s birthday! 🙏❤️

Had a lovely lunch here with friends and family. A lot of people book tables in advance. So beware at busier times. Plenty of tables spread over two floors. Great menu with everything you would expect. Friendly and attentive service despite being so busy. Lots of specials. Very family friendly.

I had a three course lunch in this fantastic homely chic and stylist restaurant. The atmosphere in the historic property is relaxed but the standards are star worthy from the table settings, to the art for sale on the walls and the immaculate impeccable service. Abby served us and was friendly informative and timed everything perfectly. Without exception each plate was perfectly presented and portions balanced, they could not have done better. Sadly the street scene could be improved with the removal of the burger sign for the cafe next door and perhaps a better sign for the restaurant closer to the road as the present one is nailed to the roof fascia above the entrance. Parking is in the cafe car park next door with big warning signs saying you cant park, but you can and it’s confusing. Anyway once you are in and seated theres plenty of space and it’s just excellent and worth the mid range price they charge, which is good value for the experience they have created.

Beautiful decorated hotel.lovely couple that run it.the breakfast was great..Will be back..beautiful village.

Great spot amazing service the people there were extremely friendly and accommodating, would definitely return in the future

Calm, comfortable, well catered, very enjoyable. We went here with friends while staying locally. We saw the pub had previously been awarded pub of the year and understood why. Unhurried, high quality food and wine in a delightful atmosphere.

Came in for a few drinks after work and ended up having some food, ordered the sausage and mash which for 7.50 was phenomenal value. The staff were very polite and checked up on me multiple times throughout the meal. Would highly recommend not sure there's many places better in the area for the value. 10/10

The food was delicious and the coffee was nice. My only complaint was the space at the table. There was a group of us and I was right next to a Pilar.
