The best restaurants serving British food in Tiptree Colchester East of England

As always, the Bonnie Blue was top-notch. Our waitress was amazing! Super friendly and worked like a trojan! The food was brilliant and such a reasonable price. If it's a good hearty roast you want, without doubt, this is the best place to come. Thankyou

Meet up with friends, food on the pensioners menu small plates was really good . We stayed there catching up fie 3 hours , not rushed at all, waitress was very friendly..

We decided to make the most of the medium fish and chips deal which was very tasty and certainly generous! Sausages and burger are also excellent and the staff are welcoming and efficient Thanks!

Excellent place to go for food and even better, allergies and intolerances all catered for incredibly well. The food required is put through with the allergy documented. The manager then comes out to your table to personally ensure the food you have chosen is safe and if not, offers an alternative. A+ service. Will def be my place of preference going forward. Thank you Perrywood! X

As with all visits to Wlikins' tea rooms, the food was good quality. This time we had toasted sandwiches with tea to drink. The problem was with the service. It took around 20 minutes for our order to be taken; 20 more for the tea to arrive and then another 15 before the sandwiches came. By which time we'd finished the tea. They did offer us a free second pot, although when it arrived a different server gave us a bill for it (although this was retracted when I carefully explained). The issues were clearly that (a) not enough staff (b) staff covering too wide an area - there are three zones - inside, outside and the marquee- and staff appeared to be flitting all over the place. We weren't the only ones - st least two other couples walked out and one couple had a similar wait for their cream teas. And this was at around 2.30pm, not the lunch hour rush. Sorry it out, Wilkins We love your products but this has really put us off your tea rooms. Which is a shame.
