The best restaurants serving Seafood food in Colchester East of England

Friendly staff,lovely seafood restaurant we ordered crab,mussels, prawns and oyster,fresh salads.definately worth a visit if your on the island

This chip shop is a gem, burgers, fish and chips all very good but the southern fried chicken is just awesome, nice big tasty pieces. Worth buying a large portion and save a piece for the next day. Batter and skin all crisped up so no wobbly skin like other well known places, top quality chicken too.

Very disappointed in the batter, had been sitting a while, soft and chewy, not crispy like it should be. Fish was dry. Won't be using this place again.

We had a delicious meal at The Company Shed, which I think I last visited around a decade ago. We ordered scallops, prawns, crab cakes and sauteed potatoes. All very tasty, well-seasoned and a lovely, different place to dine. The food does come out when it's ready, but this didn't bother us and we enjoyed what we had. The food, a glass of local white wine and a beer, came to £60. I think this is quite reasonable for a good meal. I had booked my table via the online form back in September, a month before we came, and sent a follow up email during the week to confirm. Nonetheless, when we arrived, I was told they couldn't find my booking and we felt like an inconvenience. They seated us anyway but from when we arrived until when we left, there were only three tables with guests, including us, even though they turned customers away. All in all, a really lovely meal but maybe The Company Shed ought to improve their booking system, as I sensed a lack of communication amongst the team. Thanks for some delicious seafood, we will be back.

Very disappointed with the quality of the fish & the chips & also the tartare sauce. Have been using the shop for about 9 years but the last year or so it's far below par. The were over cooked & the fat tasted like it needed replacing. The fish was a lot smaller than it used to be & again wasn't very tasty. Always used to look forward to it as the shop could accommodate my gluten free & was delicious. For now will not be using your shop until we've been told things have improved.

Came on a recommendation for being family friendly and it definitely is. Lovely garden and very safe. Big play area and great atmosphere.

Not been to Mersea for a long while due to our favourite seafood place closing. We was told about this place by a friend and we was pleasantly surprised. Great selection of seafood and fresh. Loved the bread in little boxes with butter slices. We went on a Monday and sadly no hot food was served as they only do that at weekends. We will happily return soon. Fairly priced.

Excellent customer service, fantastic value for money the best chippy around

The chips were hot and plentiful , but that's where the good stuff ends, they were very dry and chrunchie ,it was early lunchtime so I can't see why they were like this , but that's not how chips are supposed to be

Sunday lunch a disappointment. Such small portions. 1 roast potatoe cut in half.

Always friendly when you arrive, and the fish and chips are absolutely delicious, perfectly cooked. I would highly recommend.

This was the worst takeaway I've ever ordered from the food was discusting... I phoned them to come get the cod and sausage and for my money back and I had to wait 2hours for the delivery man and to be payed a pound sort I'm NEVER ordering from these again
