The best restaurants serving Other cuisines food in Castle Colchester East of England

The most ridiculous queuing system. They make you form a single line instead of just spreading across the bar like normal pubs. The result is 15 min wait for a drink in a boozer that isn't even busy. So annoying you leave after one drink. Queuing across is much quicker hence every other pub in the City does it.

My partner and I often go to Wagamama for light but delicious meals. However, our experience today was regrettably disappointing. We took a friend with us, it was her first time there, and after barely being seated for a mere 2/3 minutes, we were approached by a server named Teresa. She persistently inquired about our order, despite my polite request for her to allow my friend some time to check the menu. I reiterated this request 3/4 times, but Teresa chose to sit beside us and wait, which struck me as highly inappropriate. Her behaviour was both intrusive and domineering, and I found it entirely unnecessary. It made my friend to feel rushed by a staff member sitting beside us. It was probably the end of her shift and we were her last table, but that doesn't excuse the way she treated us. Very disappointed with Teresa's behavior, and thumbs down to Wagamama for having employees who don't seem to value their customers.

Normally it is u get what u pay for, which was average usually. Today had a large mixed grill and gourmet steak and both were spot on. Presume they have a new chef? More of a 4* food today than ur usual wetherspoons. Well done chef and staff and presumably new meat suppliers?

We have given it three tries, first, food was OK, short staffed, bad service, 2nd similar but food again was ok, tried again last night, 8pm booking, only us and a table of 4, another couple were then seated, table of 4 had finished. We ordered starters and mains, starters arrived, yes ok, having finished those they were cleared, we awaited our mains, we could see 4 main meals on the counter where the two chefs were as only us and the other couple, they had to be ours, after watching for ten minutes and still sitting there under the heat lamps, I spoke with the manager, he went to them but apparently not fully prepared, awaiting chips ? After about a further 10 minutes they were served to us, no cutlery so we had to take from the next table, the food was dry, mixed grill was awful eggs were now rubbery all meat was dry, salad was warm, the other meal was equally as bad, warm salad and small tomatoes, chicken dried out, sauce congealed. Neither edible, so mostly left. No we didn’t have to pay, but how can Two chefs not prepare 2 meals to come out fresh and hot, it’s wasn’t as if it was busy, total joke, maybe time to replace with a new restaurant team. I feel all there have become complacent. To be that empty on a Saturday evening, something is wrong.

Visited 30/10 Had Philly cheesesteak, fries and chicken tenders with a few beers. Food was great, and service was good. Really pleasant lunch 👍

Tub and Cone were booked for a leavers party. Food was fantastic, great variety and reasonably priced. Made a lovely treat for the leavers. Thank you

We visited twice: the first time we shared a toasted cheese and ham sandwich and a cream tea, with a fabulous hot chocolate. The second time we had lunch of a mixed ploughman’s and a sausage baguette with tea and fruit juices. All the food was excellent and service was also very good.

Festive sandwich with gravy but the gravy was £1 extra for half a pot which was hardly enough to dip your sandwich in. What a sad sorry place this has become with a long wait 2 of the ordering posts were out of order.

We recently visited here for breakfast, unfortunately had to give a average review, the staff were so friendly and the cafe was clean , but we ordered eggs Benedict , the yolks were overcooked, upon cutting into them there was no run but just firm yolk , and I ordered a full English again the eggs were overcooked and rubbery, the rest of the breakfast was enjoyable

The contrast between the time I came under previous management is night and day! I cannot speak highly enough of the new management. The pub is warm, welcoming, friendly, clean and a pleasure to visit. It is the polar opposite of what was here before. I used to avoid this pub now it’s the go to place in Colchester. Colchester needs a pub like the Goat and the Boot! If you can visit, you will not be disappointed! Well done to the couple managing they are superstars!

Staff lovely! Muffins I’ve tried on several occasions pretty bland was very disappointed . Considering the name of the shop you would think that muffins would be special!

It’s good. Like as a college student it’s just outside the college. However, this might be petty but I’m always missing something from my order whether it be a sauce in my food or just some simple whipped cream in my hot chocolate or the syrup actually being in my hot chocolate either don’t know how they don’t understand to take customers orders properly it really confuses me.

Food arrived very quickly, it was still hot and tasted amazing!! I would highly recommend their burgers and it was great value for money!
