What a great experience, it started with helpful e mails from them.
Arrived there and managed to park right outside. Went in and from the start the waiter was so helpful and genuinely interested in me as a customer.
First thing was a freebie of bread with Balsamic vinegar and oil waiter was pleased to say he had put more balsamic than usual in it, great decision.
Ordered a seafood platter, which was quite exceptional, there were some superb touches, like mussel shell plate, finger bowl and spoon for broth. Each element of the platter wasbeautifully cooked, the whitebait had just the right amount of coating, the gougons were well cooked and the prawns delicious. The portion was so big I didn't complete it as I wanted room for dessert.
I ordered a mix of raspberry and champagne sorbet both of which were very good, not the best I have ever had but certainally "up there"
Afterwards I had a very new CEO double espresso with a shortcake biscuit all for £25.50 an really great price for the food. The menu us quite varied and there are some great reduced proce options when I visited too.
Toilets were beautifully clean too!
Everything about this restaurant is delightful and well worth the 100 mile round trip!
Must admit it was a very quiet evening but it's a great place to go. On a busy night I suspect booking would be vital.
This a quality dining experience. Fabulous meet and greet at the door coupled with a lovely waitress who couldn't stop smiling.
The food was fabulous - I recommend the seafood platter. Dessert was equally edible.
Tiny flaw, the lady cleaning the table next to us was spraying something unpleasant as we ate. I'm splitting hairs now as this is such a great place to go and it won't stop us coming back, but perhaps spray the cleaning agent into the cloth rather than 'waft' it towards those eating?
Staff friendly, helpful and happy, cant stand miserable staff! Room excellent although was a bit disappointed we didn’t get one in the older building. We got one in the ‘newer’ victorian house at the back! Everything spotless. Green room dinner was very good and a great breakfast. All in all a good english hotel.
Upmarket but not stuffy and non-franchise with extensive menu. Food is perfect but real ale drinkers limited to bottled Doom Bar or Adnams. Would be nice to have a decent draft. The staff are friendly and professional without being in your face.
I booked my table via the opentable app quick and easy no one to speak too which is good that way they can’t go how many people is it for say again how many people 😂
Anyway I found the service of the green room 1st class they listen to my needs as I’m diabetic friendly staff 10/10 Sunday Roast Bloody Good Value £12 happy days I will definitely be going back soon for another Sunday dinner 🍽
Had a lovely meal last night. Could not fault a thing. Friendly staff, freshly prepared hot food. One of the nicest meals I have had.
First experience visiting The Green Room with family, celebrating parents Golden wedding. Relaxing atmosphere/venue, great menu & food and excellent service. The staff are lovely and looked after us really well. Based on this, I would thoroughly recommend it :) Thank you!
My husband and I had a lovely surprise birthday meal on Saturday with friends, food was superb, service great and wonderful venue for a small party of friends, our stay in the hotel was also excellent in a beautiful room, highly recommend
Lovely place to stay. Fab breakfast and nice staff. Unfortunately no air con so very hot last night, as extremely hot weather for mid June. There was a fan in the room which helped. If we stay in colchester again we will come back.
Very friendly staff they look after you from the moment you enter, food is wonderful and I can honestly say that the stake was the best I have ever had, only one thing that would make it top rated is more draught beer
Dropped by for a Sunday roast dinner.Great service great food
We would like to thank the chef for his attention to detail in the presentation of his food.We would recommend everyone to visit.
Visited for Sunday roast. We didn't book and were seated straight away. The staff were really friendly and the food was delicious.
Never been before and heard good things, didn’t leave disappointed. Enjoyed a warm welcome and dined in a great atmosphere, love the decor and feel of the place. Food was absolutely delicious and generous servings. Service was great and we will return!
Dined here last night. Relaxed dining experience. Tables nice and large with a decent amount of space between them. Delicious food and extremely well priced. Attentive but unobtrusive staff. Will definitely return.
Absolutely brilliant meal at the Green room. There were 13 of us and food was delicious and all came out hot. Julie and her team worked hard to make our lunch just perfect. Thank you so much .
Best place for Sunday lunch. I had roast beef and such good quality and plentiful plate. Service is friendly and welcoming and nice ambiance.
Just had the roast dinner with my wife and a friend, I would rate it as one of the best roasts I've eaten out. I had the chicken, it was tender and tasty and they had the beef and that was the same. The gravy was rich and the potatoes were crispy. Absolutely delicious well done chef.
Excellent restaurant. Delicious food, friendly staff, great ambience, reasonable prices. I highly recommend it. I'll be back for sure.

With family down we thought we would try somewhere we hadn't been before and the Green Room had been recommended to us - we went on a sunday afternoon.
The place is tidy / clean and staff were nice and friendly. We got seated and got drinks, some got starters and others just got mains. A few of the options on the menu are on slightly more expensive side, particularly on starters but generally not too badly priced. Was a bit worried about paying 6 quid for kids meals as I hate paying for them to only then have 2 or 3 bites, but it turned out they were free with a paying adult meal!
Food was very nice, some of us had roast dinners with choice of either beef or chicken. I think we all enjoyed it!
Not quite the full 5 stars as we had a rather excessive wait between starters and mains, to the extent that kids (1 and 3) had finished their meals which came out with starters before mains turned up - they really are not fast eaters!! Not end of the world stuff... but was our experience.
Can't comment on desert as everyone was too full to try anything!!
Worth a vist if you are looking for a nice place that is not a chain restaurant etc.
We popped into the Green Room on the off-chance for a Sunday lunch today. We've not been here for a while.
We were very impressed by the excellent service, which was friendly and professional. We were made to feel really welcome. This was all the more obvious as we'd just tried to eat at another eatery in town but left due to virtually being ignored, the smallest things like getting a menu seeming so very hard.
Also the food was amazing, we really enjoyed it all. Best meal out in a long time. Thank you.
We had a nice little private area just as you come in close to the bar. Our waitress was very friendly and the food was excellent. Good wine list so will be a nice place for winter drinks.
LOVED this place! High quality and broad menu while also having traditional British food. Went here for a date, we started with a cheese plate, split their two different pot pies, and ended with their toffee pudding. Absolutely delicious and so reasonably priced! Can’t wait to go back.
Good newish menu although do 4 types of fries but no other type of potatoes !!
Good efficient service, food excellent. Not rushed during meal as in some restaurants.
Would recommend.
Yet another school reunion at the Green Room. Everything was perfect. We had a buffet chosen by the chef for £15/ head, which was excellent. We're already booked in for next year 🙂
This is one of my go to favourite restaurants. It is consistent, reliable and affordable. Mothers Day lunch was busy but we were looked after. There was a delay between starters and mains but the place was packed, so i have no issues there. All in all, love it!
Hubby had a Father's Day celebration of great British cuisine at reasonable price. Friendly staff, quick service and comes highly recommended! 👍
Giving five stars for food but sadly service was slow and young waitress not friendly and obviously did not want to be there. Was a birthday meal and also as I can only have one treat meal a month would of preferred a warmer experience. I appreciate that times are harder and staffing has to be less but that in turn makes staff grumpier and also we would of spent more money if staff visible. Had to be found to ask for service. The previous times been have always been great. Smaller plates means more work for chef and waiting staff but they were very good and churros was yumptious.
