Great place. Food good - partner had fish, me steak. Good portions, well cooked (neither too dry), quick but not rushed service, very friendly staff. Very reasonable selection of wines and the whole thing reasonably priced. Decor well themed. Highly recommend! NT

We go to the Green Room every couple of months and find it very dependable. The staff friendly, the food good and the prices reasonable at £6 starters, £15 mains and £6 puds. I had the pork chop with black pudding crockets and the better half sea bass. Both excellent. Donuts weren't on but if they are order them without... More

We have eaten here on many occasions and always enjoyed it. The staff are friendly and professional. We went last night as a family and had a lovely time. The ambience is relaxed and comfortable. We happily chose from the set menu offer which is excellent value and very good food. This is a restaurant we are always happy to... More

From the moment we walked through the door we were made to feel welcome. The staff were all cheerful and friendly. We chose from the a la carte menu which offered a good selection of food. The portion sizes were just right and the food was delicious. We even had puddings unusual for us which we're yummy too. The only... More

Menu is brave, varied and the food is very tasty. Portion sizes are well thought.My starter: pan fried quail was Moorish and well-seasoned. My main: pan... More

I've eaten here a few times and really love the food and surroundings and the staff are lovely. For some reason they don't seem to want to let people sit near the windows though, even if the restaurant is very quiet. We were refused, along with the next two couples who came in. No real explanation and as the place... More

Hi and thanks for the review, You are absolutely right of course that we should fill from the window (unless someone requests a seat further in) so I will look into that and solve the mystery..... I'm glad it hasn't put you off and next time we will get you a window seat Rob More

We had Sunday lunch today for mothers' day and it was faultless. The quality and range of the food was excellent and the service was brilliant. The staff were all very friendly and the atmosphere of the restaurant is very relaxing. I can't wait to go back again.

Thanks for a great review, I've been a bit poor at responding lately but that doesn't mean we don't all enjoy the reviews. Most of the staff follow them and often beat me to spotting the new ones. We certainly aim to be the best in Colchester and are pleased that you think we are. Rob More

Went to the green room last Saturday night for a birthday meal with the missus and was impressed as always. We were well looked after by the front of house staff and had 3 courses. The starters were excellent, the pigeon was cooked perfectly and my partner enjoyed hers, dishes came out promptly for a Saturday night. The main for me was... More
