The best restaurants serving British food in Dedham and Langham Colchester East of England

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

Had lunch here and then came back for the evening BBQ summer event. The lunch and BBQ were very well done. The service at both were good. Having lunch by the river was nice.

We visited a few weeks ago for a family meal and enjoyed our experience. The food was “fine” generally, but really the memorable experience was our server, Tom. Tom’s attitude towards my elderly mother was really lovely to see and he was warm with our young children. His sincerely friendly and charming nature shone through and really made our visit here special. This young man is a testament to the business and I hope he is rewarded accordingly. I suggest you ask for Tom to be your server next time you visit here!

I had a lovely evening at The Crown with some friends, the atmosphere was very inviting. Kewan served us at the bar, he was very friendly and welcoming upon arrival and also for the entirety of our stay

Absolutely fantastic local pub, we have just moved to Dedham and this place is truly an absolute highlight of the village. Friendly staff, relaxed atmosphere. Kids and dogs made to feel welcome and still a proper 'pub' vibe for the grown-ups. Unpretentious menu, top quality food and excellent beers. We LOVE the Marlborough.

The pub has a warm, welcoming feel with a lovely atmosphere. The staff were friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent — proper homecooked meals, full of flavour and clearly made with care. It’s the kind of place where you can relax, enjoy good company, and have a great meal without any fuss.

Lovely staff, very polite and helpful, but wrong meal arrived, my husband had finished his by the time the correct meal arrived. The hot meal was served on a cold plate and the food was not thoroughly heated. Not an enjoyable meal or experience. We were offered 1 x complimentary drink to compensate. :(
