The Crown - Colchester

Very nice roast in a very nice atmosphere, booking on line very easy

excellent service from staff and food also excellent

Our experience was very poor. We booked a table but on arrival was shoved in a corner and left for sometime. I approached a waiter who informed us that we had to order food at the bar. He reluctantly took our order. After sometime the food arrived my friends dinner had no sauce as described on the menu. We finished our meal and asked for a dessert menu. We sat and waited for a long time while staff walked past us and seemed too busy laying tables and talking. Eventually we were served after I got up Again !!! and asked to be served. The meal was a reunion we an old friend and a special occasion. We left dissatisfied with how we were treated.

Really nice, sirloin steak was a bit chewy but I think that's because I had it quite rare.

We had a very enjoyable evening very good food

Had to send two roasts back as cold got two new ones without hassle and were very nice the waiter Rory was very helpful and very well mannered as a whole very enjoyable as the restaurant has a lovely atmosphere

Very professional, especially Josh

Josh our waiter was really helpful and looked after us. The food was lovely as always.

Nice atmosphere pleasant staff food hot tasted good. Shame both desserts I liked were unavailable, offered an alternative was nice would have preferred decaf tea as an option

We were really looking forward to revisiting the Crown for the first time in 5 years. The food was awful. The meat in the pie was terribly undercooked, the vegetables had been sitting around and clearly reheated. Limp and dry. The chips were tepid and to top it all, there was no toilet paper. We promptly left, vowing to cross it off our list of favourites. Massive disappointment and quite strange, as the restaurant was packed with mainly older generation diners. I could have cried..we have 4 kids and it was our first night out in about a year.
