Came in for a few drinks after work and ended up having some food, ordered the sausage and mash which for 7.50 was phenomenal value. The staff were very polite and checked up on me multiple times throughout the meal. Would highly recommend not sure there's many places better in the area for the value. 10/10

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.

VERY SMALL PORTIONS! The large fish and chips were extremely small including a few chips and a spoonfull of mushy peas. All our family's meals including the roast were not filling and we left feeling cheated. The desserts were all tiny! We had a ' small ' lunch the day before and this should have given us warning bells as I had rarebit....... melted spoonful on ONE crumpet for £7! Good staff, packed with good atmosphere inside but we left hungry!

I've lived in Colchester most my life, so I'm annoyed that I just recently found this absolute gem! So in the last month we have visited 4 times as I don't think I'd get better elsewhere! Lovely menu with plenty of different options and I'm making my way through the lovely teas. The food we have received has been just perfect and delicious. Pretty outside seating and also lovely inside. And the absolute kicker is the value, so much good quality food for a very reasonable price. We won't go anywhere else now 🤣 and also the lovely staff who are so welcoming and friendly. Lovely young girl always asks what we are up to for the rest of the day and she genuinely seems interested, absolutely wonderful 😊 thanks for making our weekends just perfect!

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.

Thanks to TripAdvisor this was a great find and just what we were looking for. Hobson's has a varied menu of freshly prepared food. The staff are friendly and welcoming and it has a relaxed atmosphere that made the whole experience enjoyable for us all. There are tables both in and outside. We will definitely return.

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.
