The best restaurants serving British food in Colchester East of England

This place has it all, best breakfast cooked how I like it , whilst the bike is treated to a service. Draws in a huge crowd especially during the warmer months

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

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! 🙏❤️

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 lovely time, excellent food. In addition to seven courses there was cocktail with mocktail option, and petits fours. Amazing value at £35 per person without wine; limited choice of god value wine by glass or bottle. Neither wine flight nor pudding wine. Menu in attached photo. Small plates but adequate portions; delicious bread, I believe home made. Parking slightly difficult (it was a busy night at the Institute) and a longish queue for compulsory name badge. The students charmingly trying their best, no offhand service here. Service charge voluntary and I'm happy to pay it.

We have eaten breakfast, BBQ and lunch here before but we booked for Sunday lunch and certainly weren’t disappointed! We enjoyed starters (plenty of variety) and a fantastic mixed roast with all the trimmings. Meat was cooked to perfection and homemade gravy a real treat. Food and drinks are very reasonably priced and the pub is welcoming and lively. We will be back 😊

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

Just the best fish and chips....Always come here when I'm in Colchester! Thanks Dr Chippy's - keep up the great service!

ordered food at 8:30am should of arrived 9 ish. time kept adding on. food arrived at 10:15 am and it's stone cold!! will have to heat it up in the microwave. £4 delivery charge for this! but the food in timbers is always lovely.

Absolutely love this traditional local pub, for classic food and great service. My parents particularly enjoy the over 55 lunch time menu.
