Fantastic beautiful restaurant with such a history. So beautiful inside with the gorgeous beams and service was excellent and the Lamb Shank we had was cooked to perfection. I will definitely go there again. I thoroughly recommend it as I think the best in Colchester

Afternoon Tea was absolutely delicious. Outstanding quality food and service. Amazing old building and highly recommended.

Beautiful mid week lunch. Food was hot tasty and excellent quality. Child's portion was huge and same top quality. Staff very good with 4 year old. From toilets which were gleaming to lovely coffee this place could not be faulted in any way. Best food we have had on holiday this week by far

Best service we have had in the last 2 years.Fantastic food and wine.Hake dish was cooked and presented to perfection as was the duck.Going to make this a regular place to eat.Thank you Chef and all of the staff made it a night to remember.

This place is full of character a 17th century half timbered french style building proudly displaying the original musket shots from the era. But more importantly the food doesn’t let the surroundings down. Offering European food with a modern English twist.Pan Fried Scallops with Pea Purée and Black Pudding Bon Bons..A generous portion of scallops cooked to perfection sweet and tasty, but I have to say the idea of the black pudding bon bons was genius little balls of rich flavours balanced the pea purée and scallops beautifully.Pan Fried Sea Trout Fillet, Curried Mussel Velouté with New Potatoes and Samphire.Great looking fish, trout was full of smooth flavour and the curried mussels were awesome the sauce was to die for and with the sharp salty taste of the samphire was a great match.Apple and Cinnamon Crumble Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream.What can I say does what it says on the tin, loved the crispy pastry shell and the crumble was sweet and well, crumbly, to be honest and this is my fault I was expecting it to be warm like a crumble rather than cold, but it is a crumble tart so i guess a tart is cold. But a great way to end the meal..Well that and the cracking espresso martini that replaced your standard filter coffee..Whilst the food was great I have to also comment on the excellent staff for making us feel so welcome in the current times, it’s hard to be a great host with so many rules but they pulled it off brilliantly. We will certainly be back.

A beautiful meal that tasted fresh and inviting, served by staff that where attentive and friendly. Would throughly recommend a visit especially during August because of the "Eat Out to Help Out" when it is outstanding value.
