The best restaurants serving British food in Colchester East of England

as I use a mobility scooter. and outside tables are available i get served by lovely staff .without having to leave my mobility seat .

Popped in after a visit to the dentists, hoping to grab some breakfast, but I was too late as it was 12pm. However, the lovely staff member did me a strong black coffee (very tasty, strong without being too bitter), offered me some toast and tried to cater to my gluten free diet, and later on returned with a packet of GF crisps as they had finished breakfast time. Very thoughtful service, and the sofas at the front of the shop are extremely comfortable, I did not want to leave.

Had a great meal here, food was very tasty & the homemade desserts were fab. Lovely, local pub, we will be back

Very good service was willing to do something a little off menu for my daughter, she likes sweets for breakfast, good for the whole family

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.

First experience at this beautiful cosy pub. I was recommended to try by friends. My husband and I had a lovely lunch, food was well presented and tasted good. Couldn't fault the waitress, very attentive and friendly. We shall be back.

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 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!

Been allowed to have the absolute experience for over 33 years now at this fantastic cafe It’s been about 2 years since I last visited and it was everything I expected and have expected I’ve the years I just wish I lived closer 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Kintsu is a haven for food lovers in North Essex. It has never failed to disappoint, and is our destination restaurant for celebrations. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable, the menu always offers quality we don’t find anywhere else in Essex or South Suffolk, and the quality of the tasting menu (which regularly innovates) would not be out of place in London where I often eat out, save that few London restaurants offer such a personal experience, in proximity to the chef. Kintsu is genuinely a hidden gemstone in Colchester, and my only concern in recommending it is that it might make it harder to get a table.

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.

Wednesday evening party night at Rubinos was an excellent night out. A 3-course menu (3 choices for each course) and only £40. Fantastic food and really friendly professional service. The singer was really good without over powering the conversation and Jake the Magician is superb and did his amazing magic at your table between courses. We will definitely book to go again.

Managed to snag an outside table with a view of the castle. The chai latte had real depth of flavour and the cappuccino was good. My felafel salad was very good and the felafel were moist instead of dry like in most places. My partners chicken and bacon sandwich was generously filled and all at a very reasonable price. We’d deff go back here when next in Colchester.

Another first class takeaway from the team at Nindy’s. It was a big order for a family party, but it was to the usual high standard, and prepared very efficiently. The cod is always of an excellent quality. Thankyou!
