Crown - Colchester

We stayed on July 16th for two nights the the safety measures in the hotel were tip top.we dined in the restaurant on both nights. The food was top quality as usual. And the stay safe measures were brilliant,.

Delicious roast beef and all the trimmings, fresh pint of Aspalls, friendly smiling chatty staff congratukations a wonderful sunday lunch thank you

Following a long journey to Stoke by Nayland, we found this quaint pub in the village and decided to go for lunch here. This country pub features everything you could want with a log fire near the entrance, a nice bar with plenty of variety and it has its own wine “cellar” type room! My partner and I decided to grab a bite to eat, ordering the flat ironed steak, accompanied with steak cut chips, garlic mushrooms and a garlic sauce, and I ordered the steak and mushroom pie, accompanied with freshly steamed veg and a dollop of mash. Both plates arrived promptly and the food on both plates was superb, tasted fresh and locally sourced. The added bonus was the chef singing I’m a believer in the background, not the best version I’ve heard but none the less a valiant attempt and great to hear the staff in good spirits during the current situation. Overall my partner and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch and the atmosphere in the pub, we’d definitely recommend and we may pop in before we leave!

My wife and I visit the crown often.. a stylish pub/restaurant with a buzz about it . The best staff anywhere and food and wine that pleases.

We enjoyed an unhurried experience here at the weekend with friends and family. The menu offers a great selection of traditional food and a good selection of fish for those who don’t fancy meat. We enjoyed the wine recommendation with our meal and they do offer an extensive list. Desert was delicious as was the cheeseboard.
