The best restaurants serving British food in Colchester East of England

Terrible service Order took too long to be delivered And while waiting Didn’t answer the phone Will not be ordering from here again

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.

Excelente servicio, la comida está bien, tapas bien presentadas, con mucha variedad y generosas porciones censurables

Great place highly recommend lovely food disabled access location is great nice views in and around typically British.

Was delicious, was still hot and came well packaged and on time

1st time visting today, lovely venue, food was lovely and our waitress Linda was brilliant! Will be visiting again :)

Best food I have ever had out of tiptree and will keep going back. Service is great and staff are always talkative to pass the time

The chief shouting at the front of house staff, in an patronising way created an awful atmosphere in the restaurant and ruined our dining experience

Absolutely lovely meal with my cardiac rehab group for our Christmas meal. Couldn't fault the food or service and we will definitely be back.

Fantastic cheese counter, helpful staff and super deli and wine selection. Stocked up for an evening in when staying in very quaint Wivenhoe. Will certainly be back.

Excellent eating experience with a fabulous menu. The staff were welcoming and friendly. Came here for an anniversary dinner, all the staff took note and welcomed us and wished us a happy anniversary. Food was divine, and the chocolate delice was exceptional, I highly recommend.

We came for a pre booked afternoon tea for my mum’s birthday. We were sat for 50 minutes before the food came out, with no apology or explanation for the delay - you could understand if it were a cooked meal that was ordered on arrival but an afternoon tea that had been prebooked so they knew what we would be eating to have that much delay seemed unreasonable. The food was reasonable, though disappointing that the one (slightly dry) scone each was plain and not fruit as described on the menu. We had to ask for more tea as were not offered any more. The food would have been ok if it were accompanied by great service but by the time it arrived we were all a bit fed up and ready to leave.

Good food great staff and service

Love this place.. always welcoming and great staff

A independent hidden gem in the middle of Colchester city centre, this beautiful little cafe serves up some great food and drinks. They have both indoor and outdoor seating and staff are very friendly and helpful. Food includes a range of yummy omelettes (sadly forgot to take a photo), sandwiches, jacket potatoes and various breakfasts. Definitely recommend a visit to this place!
