Ate at this beefeater while staying at the Premier Inn next door. The staff were lovely and friendly although they were very busy so getting a table took a little while. The menu is standard across all beefeaters now but the food was cooked well and all served very quickly. The breakfast was very good and all items perfectly cooked (I know it's all down to personal taste but they nailed it for me). Overall a good experience and well worth a try if you're in the area.

Very good pricing first time coming and will definitely be coming back and would encourage others to not give it at visit. Free and easy parking on premise available.

Most enjoyable experience. The food was great and the staff looked after us. There is a disabled / baby change toilet of reasonable size and layout.
Parking is a bit of a squeeze, but there are several disabled bays

The staff were amazing, but I've noticed that they always seem to be short staffed at the moment which causes delays in being served, and restrictions on menu items. The team were so friendly and polite, and went above and beyond. The food was delicious and the atmosphere was really good.
If there were more staff, then it would definitely be five stars. I will be contacting head office as a few of these restaurants have been in the same situation lately, so not sure if management are cutting staff or something, but it does impact the service.

Under staffed today but excellent service from the waitress and superb food from the chef on his own, piping hot and served quickly.

Another family evening out at TAB Colchester. Nice food, good customer service. Always enjoy the chargrilled prawn.

Great food and the waiting staff were brilliant. There was a bit of a long wait due to staff sickness and only 2 chefs, but we weren't in a rush. The only downside was the manager on that night was quite abrupt and hardly smiled the 2.5 hours we were there. I know they were stressed, but it doesn't take much to crack a smile.

We decided to try here for a change as you get more bang for your buck. Good selection of cereals, pastries and bread items, fruit & yoghurt. Coffee Good. OJ not so much. Looked and tasted like watery squash. I did see it being topped up from a carton though. Others had the apple and cranberry juices which were good. Another note, the toasters take AGES but at least you have better control.
Amanda Watkins
Lovely place to eat, we had dinner and breakfast there, meals were really nice, I would recommend eating there.
Jamie Hodgson
Was a busy Saturday only 2 staff that we saw. Very helpful just very under it.
Food great, drinks took 25 mins to come some after the meal for the second round.... apart from being under staffed was a great place and nice food
Sam Turner
Absolutely amazing meal out, steak was spot on, kids enjoyed their food. Staff were very friendly and helpful.

I don't know why this place has low rating.
Though it was a Friday night and we had no reservation, the gentleman at the reception found us a nice comfortable table for 3 persons.
The food (2 ribeye steaks and 1 mixt grill plate + some starters) was more than good for its prices.
The service was up to the standard (for a busy Friday night) with personnel never losing their smile and good manners.
And though we were by foot, there is free parking for customers, I think.
Recommended.

I can’t believe I just paid £50 for 3 burger & chips & 3 soft drinks, it was the worst food I’ve had the misfortune to eat in years. If you went to Iceland & bought the cheapest frozen chips/fries, burgers & chicken nuggets then threw them in the oven/microwave..... put the burgers/chicken nuggets in between dry buns with a bit of crap salad.. plate up and that’s what my family was served, the standard of food was shocking. We had just driven from Yorkshire so we were hungry & maybe we all ate half of our meals. I informed the barman of our discontent & he shrugged his shoulders! The food is substandard quality & is awful!

First of all me and my Mrs went In about 7.15 pm waiter sat us down . Order food and drinks perfect . Starters come about 30 mins later , then stake come out about 30 mins after that . Mrs dinner was fine but my stake was cold and asked for a new 1 so women took it back and 20 mins later she come back with a lovely bit of stake when I cut into it was pretty much rare and I asked for medium . Called the waiter over again and she apologise to me and said sorry that's not good enough and offered for me to put it back on the grill and I didn't have to pay for it which I just asked for the bill and I left , shame because I did like it there but won't be going back again 8.40 I left there and still hungry.

Have always loved it here since I was little; though now as a grown up, I love it even more. Always been great when I go with my family and have organised several work do's there now and the staff have always been so incredibly helpful and accomodating! Special mention to Pascal who made a meal for 30 plus people, all with special requirements, run smoothly. Cannot recommend highly enough!

We went for a family meal of 14 for my husbands 40th. 4 of which were children. The staff were lovely and we had a lovely time. My only negative thing was that even though we pre ordered it took a long while to come out and the kids were getting quite cranky but the staff were great with them. Special mention to Lisa W our waitress. When bringing out our dessert she had written happy b day on my husbands dessert plate. Very thoughtful efficient lady. Thank you x

Myself, my little boy, Mum and Nan travelled up from Cambs & Herts to see my sister who lives in Colchester for her birthday.
Easy booking online, seated straight away, really attentive and friendly staff, made an effort to speak to my little 20 month old also.
they dished my sons food first as takes a while to eat, thoroughly impressed with the childrens menu. Our waitress was very thorough with taking our order and making sure we were all happy.
All of our food was very tasty and enjoyable, no faults at all, apart from mum & nan saying there was too much ha ha.
Definitely recommend and will be back again another time when next visiting. .

The worst possible place to eat on a gluten free vegan diet. Hoxton this is not.
Brian Lodge
Nice looking restaurant, nice food. Last time I was there late getting a table even though we booked, had to keep reminding server for different things. Everyone looked like they were being run off their feet, needs more staff
Dale John
Booked for breakfast , and we had a tag along wouldn’t let us eat because they ‘said’ they couldn’t squeeze us in. What an awful company and extremely rude staff wouldn’t recommend to anyone.

19oz Porterhouse Steak is very nice. Stella on tap. Mixed platter starter great. Great service. Can't complain about anything.
JessicaAmy Steel
Darren the waiter is great--- but service and food quality is poor and waited so long on getting drinks.
Our mains took an hour to come out 😴😴😴😴
Michael Burrows
Appalling service.. book a table for 6pm and drinks finally arrive 25 mins after ordering them... lets hope the food is quicker!!! Seen someone else’s food at the pass for 10 mins, not much hope then!!

Go regular but last night went there for birthday meal. They were taking well over a hour to get meal out from time of order. Wife had lamb that went back as was so fatty. Not sure What was going on with the chips but we're loaded with oil. Something sure has gone wrong.
