The best restaurants serving British food in Fordham and Stour Colchester East of England

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! 🙏❤️

Calm, comfortable, well catered, very enjoyable. We went here with friends while staying locally. We saw the pub had previously been awarded pub of the year and understood why. Unhurried, high quality food and wine in a delightful atmosphere.

Was cold in the restaurant as the heating wasn't on. Menu was pretty basic and things you could easily make at home. The plates weren't heated, mening the food cooled down a lot once served. Garlic bread had barely any garlic butter and was so hard it was like a giant crouton. Food was slow to come out. The cokes tasted strange and were half flat. Wouldn't recommend it, I would rather go to a whetherspoons as its cheaper, more menu choice and better quality.

Lovely place to eat and look at antiques and collectables. The chips were absolutely delicious. Staff were welcoming and kind.

Excellent Sunday roast. Landlady very friendly. Good service and nice decor. This pub has certainly had its problems over the past couple of years but it is now certainly on the up.
