The best restaurants serving Default food in Wivenhoe Quay Colchester East of England

Best pub in Wivenhoe by miles. Friendly, accessible and great drinks and events - it might not be near the river but it’s the place to head to

I love popping over for a coffee here. Such a nice coffee house, and relaxing and everyone friendly. Love sitting in their fab window.

Warm and welcoming little cafe, delicious freshly prepared food and coffee, with a handy car park just round the corner. Will definitely be visiting again.

I ordered a chinese from here as my local one was closed for 2 weeks . Worst Chinese I have ever had . Chow mein and rice appalling and sweet and sour sauce tasted like bbq. Waste of my money I would not order again

After receiving confirmation of our booking which was made days in advance we took a taxi on a cold wet evening to the restaurant only to find it closed. We called later and were told that the owner had decided not to open until later in the month. His staff had turned up and been notified about an hour before opening time. What a way to run a business.

It’s not like I expect to be welcomed with gay abandon, but a hint of friendliness would be nice. Fairly good range of products.

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.

I ordered a Fiorentina pizza for collection. It was ready on arrival and piping hot. The base was well cooked: some depth but not too thick, with a lovely crisp crust. The egg, spinach and slight saltiness from the olives were a lovely combination. Very tasty!

*Terrible service* We went to Maison and Mollie after it reopened post flood. Given it was the first weekend of reopening the place felt so dirty and unloved. The cake tins were empty. The one member of staff serving shouldn't have taken a job in hospitality. She appeared annoyed to be serving customers and even more so every time anyone asked for a different type of milk or anything extra. We asked to pay then and there to be told ''i think its best you wait'', without any further explanation. We waited 20 minutes for two coffees which were not the correct order when they arrived. The waitress slammed the down on the table. Whilst we were there she turned away so many other customers telling them there was a long wait when the place wasn't exactly overflowing. Such a shame to have a local lovely coffee shop run into the ground by a grumpy member of staff. Give the job to someone who wants it.

Great pub , like a tardis ,much bigger inside than it appears from outside, friendly staff, great range of beers, fantastic atmosphere and location. Didn't get to eat but maybe next time.

Lovely cosy and friendly pub in a beautiful area- the quay is quite literally on the doorstep! Stayed here for the night for mine and my partners anniversary and it was perfect. Staff were very friendly and helpful, the room was stunning with a TV, cosy bed and lovely bathroom with a shower. The pub had some lovely live music on and there was a great buzz and vibe inside. The food was amazing, we had the hot platter and everything was so fresh, the chicken wings& tenders were some of the best I’ve had! Overall I would highly recommend. Thank you to the team for ensuring we had a lovely night 😊

I visited for a special occasion Sunday lunch as a party of ten with the children up one end and we all had a brilliant time kids included. The service was really personalised to us thanks to our fantastic waiter Aravind who was really warm, attentive and efficient. The food and drink were delicious and there was a nice relaxed atmosphere then perfect spot to walk off the food and drink after with the beautiful river and village! Thank you very much Aravind and Rose & Crown for providing the perfect venue for us all :-)
