Featured Colchester Restaurants
1. Five Bells
British, Modern restaurant in Colne Engaine
7 Mill Ln - CO6
2018 Review: Limited but upbeat feedback on this pub and restaurant in a village overlooking the Colne Valley, on the Essex/Suffolk borders, which wins praise as an all-round good-value destination; lovely garden in summer.
2. The Lion
British, Modern restaurant in Earls Colne
High Street - CO6
2018 Review: Traditional country pub inspiring limited but enthusiastic feedback. Most of the cooking takes place in a wood-fired oven, which delivers a variety of pizzas, plus a ‘flagship Bavette Steak’.
3. Grain
British, Modern restaurant in Colchester
11a North Hill - CO1
“Some of the best food in Essex” risks being a double-handed compliment, but this trendy four-year-old is winning ever-more awards and accreditations. The food (chosen from a menu with five sections, ‘garden’, ‘water’, ‘land’, ‘cheese’ and ‘sweet’) provides “a wonderful combination of flavours and the concept here of small plates works really well”.
