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

I am surprised to hear the great reviews for superb afternoon tea . Unfortunately it was not the same for us. Went for a Mother's day gift afternoon tea. Standard but would not return. Sandwiches were dry, bacon inside was mostly the fat . Small cakes were not homemade either. Service was perfect, very attentive throughout. Lovely friendly staff. Shame the food was a letdown. We have had much better afternoon teas .

Not the best of experiences! We did think it was closed as it was dimly lit from outside! This place used to be absolutely thriving with a great team and very good food. My food was so lacking ! It didn't look anything like on the menu. It was so disappointing! The staff lacked enthusiasm, there was loads of them but only two staff appeared to be actually putting in an effort. The woman who was constantly working in the kitchen and what looked to be the manageress. It could do with a refurbishment in here! We took a guest for his birthday. Perhaps we will go to the one at the Tollgate!

Convenient for late night food, but better places out there generally
