Well I have to agree with the 'sour' comments made regarding this establishment. I attended a business lunch last week and requested a table move due to some very loud and inconsiderate people beside us. The Manager did this reluctantly but we all noticed that after this we were pretty much ignored. He must have been having a bad day but no respect for customer service or satisfaction I have to say! The food was nothing special I have to say and due to this reception we will not be rushing back. Overall unimpressed - plenty of competition in Colchester for establishments that want to fight to stay trading. JB

I agree taht everyohne shoudl be given a chance looking at the last review but I went at the weekend and got a cold main meal. I told the waitress and was not even offered another choice even though by now I did not want to eat my meal. I also found the cutterly and a wine glass to be dirty. I think standards at this place have ceetainly slipped and I would think twice bfore going back. 2 out of 10 overall!

I have eaten at the LT many times at different times of the day and do not understand a few of the negative comments here. I have always found the standards and cleanliness to be very high and the food of a good quality and well presented and certainly well cooked. The LT does indeed have an excellant reputation locally, but maybe because I am comparing it to the standard chains that bring food in from factories. I strongly recommend the LT and suggest you give it another try !
