Better than the Bowling Green at Weeley where the carpet is filthy. More wood at Balkerne Gate. Service a bit slow. Had to wait longer for one member of our six starters. Had to remind staff. Other than that a good meal at a reasonable price

Be arrived about 1:30 Saturday afternoon. Ordered coffee. Then we ordered some drinks and then we ordered food. Coffee came out then we ordered drinks. The food came out and she was so busy. She'd forgot drinks but she soon sorted them out for us ,not a problem. Food was good. I had chicken and bacon with BBQ sauce with chips. My partner had pi, mashed potato, peas. We asked for chips instead of mashed potato and they changed it straight away. Very good service. Food was lovely. The waitress looked after us really well. We were there till 4:00. It was a good afternoon. If your ever on your way to Colchester and you want to quit bite to eat, popping to see the staff,x

We enjoyed a mid afternoon sharing platter this afternoon. Service a bit slower than usual, used plates needed clearing away, suggesting staff a bit thin on the ground, but food was served promptly and was tasty..

Overall nice meal, not busy for a Saturday and had about three different waitresses but they were nice enough. Had the mixed grill and steak was actually cooked nicely which is rare on a mixed grill. Would recommend.
