The afternoon started poorly and went downhill. The wine was warm when if arrived, they kindly changed this with apologies. The starter was advertised as retro prawn cocktail. Perhaps by retro they mean the tired poor quality prawns has been in the fridge since the 1980s. The main Arrived and the presentation was excellent it's a shame the frozen and precooked cod wouldn't have been welcome at captain Birdseyes table. The orange coloured green curry impressed nobody but the kitchen hand who had obviously been picked every ounce of meat from the chicken thighs and legs to fill the meat content. We waited for 20 mins for being asked if we would like dessert before giving up and going to the till to ask for the bill. Worst meal I have had in years. Service was good when you seen someone. Try KFC or even burger king instead their food is fresher.

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!
