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!

Hadn't been here for some while, so decided to take advantage of their 3 courses for the price of 2 set lunch deal. I started with the duck spring rolls and the wife had a very nice soup. We followed with very tasty mains and rounded off with tiramisu and coffees to close. All very nicely prepared and tasty, as always. The students are just learning their respective roles in hospitality, so they do need to be brushing up on their serving skills and customer service etiquette but that's what they are there for! The food is always good and the choices give the chefs a wide range of preparation experience and we've always found they come up to the mark. Well done all!

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! 🙏❤️

As always, the Bonnie Blue was top-notch. Our waitress was amazing! Super friendly and worked like a trojan! The food was brilliant and such a reasonable price. If it's a good hearty roast you want, without doubt, this is the best place to come. Thankyou

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

Good portions, tasty food and great customer service. Staff are really friendly and the prices are fair.

Ham, egg and chips was quite nice. I'd go back sometime

Meet up with friends, food on the pensioners menu small plates was really good . We stayed there catching up fie 3 hours , not rushed at all, waitress was very friendly..

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.

I attended my friends wake on Wednesday last week in Brightlingsea. We went up to get some buffer food and it was honestly amazing. The homemade quiche and pizza swirls were delicious. And the chocolate brownie cake was to die for 🙈. It was delivered in portable serving cases and laid out beautifully! Easily the best buffet I’ve ever had. If you need a buffet for any occasion these are the best xx
