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.

Good food, only delayed due to non available item, all resolved thankyou

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

Great service, fantastic food and drinks, friendly staff.

The food and service here is amazing, very tasty breakfast. Lovely old building, sadly due to its historic age it isnt wheelchair friendly id say but obviously not much to be done about that, though there are toilets upstairs

One of our favourite dining pubs, they consistently seem to get everything right, excellent food, service at a mid range price

Every time we come here, the service is welcoming and friendly. Food is 100% cooked fresh and tasty. Highly recommended.

Excellent pub with great food and a really nice atmosphere 5 star service we will definitely be back again thank you to all the staff.
