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

We needed a cup of tea and happened to be close by so popped in and browsed the books etc and had a superb cup of tea. Pot of tea for 2 with a biscuit £3 cant go wrong and for a good cause.

Came to visit our daughter Maisy who recently moved to the area. Had a wonderful surprise party in the three Tuns. Mike and Maria offered great hospitality and amazing food. The locals in the pub are lovely and friendly made us feel very welcome. Great selection of drinks and bonus Dog friendly pub. So Looking forward to the fish and chips tonight. Lovely touch of serving seafood platters on a Sunday teatime. Too. Highly recommend the pub if you visit the area and is by far the nicest in the village.

Great! Usual quality from Nandos! The service is always good here and even when it's busy the wait for a table isn't too bad.

Went for afternoon tea yesterday with my mum as a birthday treat and sadly did not have the best experience. We arrived at 2.30pm and there was a 20min delay before getting offered any tea and then there was a further 15min delay before getting the sandwiches. There venue was not busy - only a table of 2 and a table of 10 when we arrived both of which left not long after we arrived so for the majority of the time we were the only ones there. The tables were not cleared so we had to look at messy tables which spoilt the ambiance. The staff were quite rude and kept telling us they were busy - even when we were the only ones there. Near the end of our time they started moving chairs from the room we were in to a different room again making us feel very uncomfortable and forcing us to feel like we needed to move. During our time there we spoke to the Events manager to raise our concerns and were offered 2 free glasses of prosecco. This experience cost nearly £60 but do not feel the experience received warranted this cost sadly. Over the last few years we have used Greyfriars for a number of occasions including my wedding reception and always had great experiences but yesterday's experience has sadly deterred us from wanting to go back.

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 .

Nando’s in Colchester offers a reliably vibrant dining experience with a friendly, laid-back atmosphere. Known for its Afro-Portuguese peri-peri chicken, the restaurant consistently serves flavorful, succulent chicken with a perfect blend of spices, customizable to various heat levels. The sides, like the peri-peri chips and garlic bread, pair well and add a hearty touch to meals. Service was quick and attentive, it can get busier during peak times, occasionally slowing things down. The ambiance is casual with a warm decor that aligns with Nando’s upbeat vibe. It’s a great spot for casual dinners, quick lunches, and group gatherings, especially if you’re after something more flavorful than typical fast food. A solid choice for peri-peri fans in Colchester!

Tom the bar man was very good. Friendly and helpful. Said I could the beer before deciding. The food was ok. My steak, which I was told had to be medium rare was served on a moderately warm plate with a useless steak knife although was tasty and good enough. Jenny had grey mullet which was good but the sweet corn in pasta was tough and almost inedible. The service was ok and they were very busy. Nobody asked if everything was ok.

Trading standards have been informed. Awful customer service. We ordered food this evening paid cash on arrival then realised we had the wrong food. We called the shop 3x to explain and had the phone slammed down on us all. This was after the owner spoke over us each time, telling us he didnt have chicken doner that's why he gave us lamb. He shouldnt have taken our money then or told us this over the phone!!! The owner was rude and disrespectful and just didnt care at all or listen. We ordered 1 chicken doner wrap and 2 chicken doner meat with chips and salad and a burger. Instead we got 1 chicken shish kebab and 3 x lamb doners with chips and salad and 1 lamb doner wrap. We did however receive the burger. How incompetent. None of us eat lamb, hence why we didn't order it. Instead we had to order elsewhere at another £32.00 The owners behaviour was shocking. Sad really as we have used them from our previous address for over 10 years and never experienced such awful service or rudeness. I think the management must of changed as the guys are really awful, shocking, rude and totally disrespectful. And clearly love to take your money and deliver whatever they feel to bring!!!!! Save your money if you want what you pay for. We have now reported them to trading standards.

food was cold on delivery, my order was late and also the ban offer pie I ordered was smashed all around the box and unrecognisable and had to be thrown away, very unsatisfied and wouldn't recommend buying from here again and I will almost not be reordering again

Only lasted 20 mins as manager was rude to us and then got a parking fine for waiting! Appealed decision and it got rejected. Seems to be going downhill.
