The breakfast was pretty good, and the service was quick. Staff were welcoming, which was nice. My eggs were cooked just right. It&#39;s a decent spot for a casual morning meal.

Been coming here for years, and the food&#39;s always spot on. That&#39;s what keeps me coming back. The consistency is rare these days. Had the steak frites again last night, cooked just right as always.

We enjoyed a wonderful birthday meal at the Harvester in Stanway, Colchester, Essex. The effort and willingness expressed by out waitress (Laura) was worthy of high praise. This employee worked tirelessly in make the evening a huge success.Thank you,Bill

As with any Buffett type restaurant there are good and bad things. But that said you know what you&rsquo;re signing up for when you go there. So queuing for your dinner is a given. The staff were lovely, food hot and plentiful and had a money off coupon too plus earned Yums - all in all a good night.

Solid local pub. They&#39;ve got a really nice selection of drinks, which I appreciate. Found a surprisingly good local red that went perfectly with the steak and ale pie. The vibe is spot on for a relaxed evening.

Been coming here for years, and the portions are always generous. Never feel like I&#39;m getting short-changed, which is why I keep coming back.

Nice garden seating, perfect for a sunny day. Had the chicken pasta, it was really tasty. Service was friendly and quick.

Lovely spot, always buzzing. Sat outside on a Saturday and it was surprisingly peaceful, considering how busy it was. The mushroom toast was spot on. Coffee&#39;s always good here.

Popped in for a quick lunch. The New York panini was solid, and the coffee hit the spot as always. They had a nice, simple house red by the glass that actually went surprisingly well with the sandwich. Just a good, reliable spot.

As someone who pays attention to drinks, I was impressed. They took my coeliac needs seriously, even the gluten-free bread was good. The staff knew the wine list well and suggested a nice pairing for my veggie main. Felt very looked after.

The gluten-free and veggie options here are a real treat. I tried the quinoa salad and it was so fresh, with crisp greens and a light dressing. Nice to see a menu that caters to different diets without feeling like an afterthought. Prices are fair too.

The garden out back is just lovely. Sat there for ages with my coffee. It&#39;s a nice spot to pause after wandering the galleries. The whole community-run, ethical sourcing thing gives it a good vibe. A bit pricey for a flat white, but you&#39;re paying for the setting too.

The vegan menu here is solid. Loads of options, which is a nice surprise. Had the jackfruit tacos - really hit the spot. Good to see a place putting thought into it.

Portions are massive here, way bigger than your average fast food spot. Couldn&#39;t finish my burger and had a full box to take home. The house red was a decent, robust pairing for it though.

Food was tasty, staff were lovely. Just be warned, the wait can be a bit long when they&#39;re busy. We were chatting so much we almost forgot we&#39;d ordered! 😅

The food was good but the choice was poor. The menu has been reduced and it&#39;s not an improvement. And this &quot;Italian&quot; no longer serves pana cotta as a desert option.

The burger menu is huge, which is great. I went for the classic cheeseburger. The patty was cooked just right, juicy and not dry at all. The bun held up well too, didn&#39;t get soggy. Solid choice if you&#39;re just after a good burger.

Popped in for a coffee, but the smell of bacon got me. Ended up with their full breakfast. The eggs were perfectly runny, and the sourdough toast was spot on. Worth the 15-minute wait for sure.

Stumbled upon this place by chance. The home cooked food was really nice, staff were friendly. A proper hidden gem.

Popped in while exploring the island. Really liked the outdoor seating, perfect for people-watching. Prices were fair, too.

The coffee was spot on with the scones. I&#39;ll be back to try their all-day breakfast.

Excellent food, great service and friendly staff - it was a Tuesday lunchtime so not the busiest time. This is a great restaurant with a good menu choice

Semra was lovely, and the mezze spread was a highlight. The space itself is really warm and inviting.

A cosy spot with a good menu. The American pancakes were really nice, light and fluffy. Staff were friendly.
