The best restaurants serving British food in Copford and West Stanway Colchester East of England

Went for a family meal at the Alma over the weekend and it has really gone downhill… the roast board was disappointing in comparison to how it used to be - you used to get 4 meats instead of 3, and the pork used to be a nice lump of pork belly but was now a dry slice of loin. By far the worst part was the flies. The whole restaurant area was absolutely full of them and we spent the entire meal having to try and eat whilst simultaneously waft them away from ours and our children’s meals, which was very stressful. It’s a shame because it’s always been such a nice pub but we really didn’t enjoy our meal this weekend.

Amazing experience our server Joe was so lovely she made the day with my grandparents that even more special! We will definitely be coming back :)

Lots of flies around the tables in the back section of the pub near the doors, could probably do with investing in one of those mounted zappers.

Breakfast with the Easter bunny was amazing. Very friendly and great service. The staff members Leisha & Lewis were amazing friendly and gave us a good morning.

Poor service. Food not great. I am not surprised they are closing down their cafes. Should have left it as it was .
