When I pointed out it was only 1-45 I got a shoulder shrug and was told that lunches were finished. I drove a couple of miles down the road to the next pub and had a really good ham sandwich. Job done! Won't bother the folks at the Peldon Rose again. ]]> Sun, 16 Oct 2011 17:29:47 +0100 193-1242 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html Excellent food and service. No problems with arriving with our own birthday cake, which was very nicely presented by the staff, with candles lit. Definitely recommended. ]]> Mon, 03 Oct 2011 11:17:30 +0100 193-1225 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html My first time at Peldon Rose. Pleasently suprised by the great service and wonderful team. The Sunday roast was delicious as was the lemon sorbet with chocolate sticks. Really impressed that we weren't rushed too. Definately worth a visit for either a drink, snack or meal. ]]> Mon, 12 Sep 2011 17:57:14 +0100 193-1067 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html We decided to visit the Peldon Rose as an early Valentines treat, the food was good but we asked our waiter for a dessert menu, 20mins later still we had not recieved on,we tried to ask another waiter for on and was completly ignored,finally I went to the dining supervisor and said if you cant be bothered to serve us with dessert could we have our bill please, thinking that this may spart the appearance of a dessert menu, no they brought our bill instead, it appeared that they just dont have enough waiters serving when it gets busy or they are not trained properly, which is a pity as with a bit of caring management it could be good, but if its service you want best go to Weatherspoons or the local Indian or Chinease as the waiting staff here could learn alot from them. ]]> Fri, 13 May 2011 10:35:55 +0100 193-982 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html Having read the previous poor reviews I can only guess that the people that wrote them are not genuine foodies and should probably only eat in chain restaurants. The Peldon Rose is absolutely gorgeous and the food is fabulous. I took my mum and tow friends here for my mum's 65th birthday and we all thought it was great. The steak was perfect and enourmous and so were to side orders. The best bit was the baked mackerel with beetroot salad! so simple and yet too delicious for words. The only down side was that there was nothing for chocoholics on the pudding menu. The restaurant manager was fun and very good at making diners feel important without hovering over you for the entire meal which I hate. We will definately return for more! The bill came to £130 for four people having two courses plus wine which was great value. ]]> Sun, 03 Oct 2010 09:24:47 +0100 193-963 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html Not you average pub grub. A very varied menu but may not be to everyone's taste. ]]> Sun, 05 Sep 2010 08:33:59 +0100 193-894 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html I really cannot understand the previous comment which seems unecessarily harsh.
Peldon Rose has raised the game recently with new decor, totally improved food and a very satisfactory value for money. I went there with a crowd of friends and everyone came away very impressed. The menu was very varied and interesting. The staff were some of the most friendly in this area.
I will certainly visit again. ]]> Tue, 29 Jun 2010 15:43:28 +0100 193-866 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html The menu is very small indeed, there is not a lot of choice compared to other restaurants in the area. The service was non existent. We sat for 30 mins, no one approached us for drinks etc. We served ourselves. I had to ask for the order to be taken. The food was very bland. I had two lamb chops, they were very small indeed and cooked in a sauce that was very uninspiring. I literally could have bought a sauce and cooked it at home. That's not good when you are paying thirteen pounds for the privilege. At the end of the evening when the waiter asked if everything was OK, I replied it was average. The waiter looked surprised and eventhough I politely pointed out my opinion, he seemed to want to argue about it. The people on the next table agreed that they had had a similar experience. This was last Friday night and a special occassion. We used to go there fairly regularly...not anymore. ]]> Sun, 30 May 2010 09:42:21 +0100 193-776 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html I'm not sure where the previous comment was coming from but I and my friends really enjoyed The Rose - great locally produced food, good crowd of people and service with a smile - what more could you ask for - oh and good value - we will be back.
The place looks totally re decorated - loved it. ]]> Wed, 03 Mar 2010 17:28:05 +0000 193-767 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html Went here in evening and found the menu very pretensious and the portions small. I got lamb chops and mash which were a little cold and there was a greasy mess of a portion of bacon on the plate also. Of five of us at the table two were happy with their main the rest of us dissapointed.But i loved the pub itself and go back for a drink very oldy worldy but definately not get food there again!! ]]> Wed, 24 Feb 2010 14:14:48 +0000 193-611 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html We have eaten at The Peldon Rose about a dozen times now, and have always been very pleased with the food. The prices are reasonable and the service good, even when the place is packed. Portion sizes are generous and the menu comprehensive. We would alway recommend this restaurant to anyone wanting good value for money. ]]> Mon, 14 Sep 2009 20:04:53 +0100 193-87 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html I've now been here 3 times in the past 2 months, with my husband and in-laws. Twice was for a Sunday lunch, which was packed, but still had great service and food. Everyone thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Once was for a Monday evening meal, which was a lot quieter, but still good quality with a great range. Although I've had the scampi and chips 3 times (!) others in the group have gone for partridge, pork and fish, which have been excellent (I've tried them). The puddings are especially good. We've really enjoyed our meals there, and will be going again. ]]> Thu, 07 Feb 2008 13:19:10 +0000 193-30 http://www.essexrestaurants.com/colchester-venues/colchester-restaurants/the-peldon-rose-colchester-essex.html the food shown on the web sites have nothing to do with the food served here. I took my husband this December to celebrate his birthday and found it to be basic 'pub grub' and not that good either. We ended up having fish and chips, not what I'd had in mind!Shows it self to be almost a la carte but way off the mark. ]]> Wed, 19 Dec 2007 08:56:02 +0000
