Great knowledge and choices for coeliac which is so hard to find. Friendly and efficient staff. Delicious pancakes, great atmosphere and decor. Thank you.

Zizzi Colchester Is Brilliant!!! 5⭐️+ First time here yesterday, and everything was perfect! Everything from the moment we stepped into the restaurant, we was greeted warmly, the layout and decor inside is really nice. Lovely atmosphere too. The food was really really good! I had the meatball dish and my wife had the Carbonara. Great customer care as my wife is gluten intolerant, but the menu caters perfectly for those with food intolerance/allergies too. They even made gluten free garlic bread from scratch for us, and it tasted amazing!!! Desserts are REALLY good too!!!! Absolutely going to book again for a couple of weeks time for my birthday. Going to bring our children too as the kids menu caters well for them too (kids eat free option available too). Zizzi Colchester is now our ‘go to restaurant’. Thank you for the fantastic food, customer care and lovely vibes. 100% recommend 👍🏻

We had to wait a little bit because it was busy, but the staff is very friendly and polite. The food was very good, specially the burger. They have gluten and dairy free option. To eat outside in front of the river is lovely.

Drove nearly an hour to come for a tea and cake with the dog as it states on the website its dog friendly only be told they couldn’t have dogs in because they were short staffed. They also said they announced it but there was nothing on their social media so I’m not sure where they expected people to see it. Especially as their last post was about a doggie menu! Woman was rude and unhelpful and there were 3 families in the queue with dogs that had turned up to be directed to two tables in the car park that were already occupied. Gluten free options were also terrible so do not recommend for coeliacs

We held my afternoon tea hen party here and had the best time!! The staff were incredibly accommodating and generous in helping my hens bring their vision to life. Nothing was too much of a hassle and we felt super welcome - the team at Oranges and Lemons made it all really special. They were also brilliant with our access needs (I’m a wheelchair user) and dietary requirements (vegan, nut free, gluten free, veggie etc). The food was delicious (best vegan afternoon sandwiches I’ve had!) and we’ve had great feedback from the group. The room was the perfect vibe for us - lovely atmosphere and decor. We can’t thank them enough for such a memorable afternoon. We’ll be returning for lunch and many more afternoon teas…!

What a lovely place with such excellent service and really yummy Sunday roast. There is never enough gravy in most subday roasts but not at Mersea Barns! A whole gravy boat for the table! My kids have allergies and so many places we go to eat it's complicated and we are made to feel like an inconvenience but the staff at Mersea Barns went out of their way to be kind and accomidate our dietary needs. Good to see a couple of dairy free/ gluten free things at the counter too makes a world of difference to feel included when you have allergies.

We ordered food from here for our Christmas Dance Party buffet. A selection of sandwiches with Christmas flavours, sausage rolls, scotch eggs, dips and veggie sticks and quiche. We have a few people in the group with food allergies as well as sensitive to gluten, vegetarian and vegan . Brunch offered options for everyone! Not just “something to eat” but rather a good selection for everyone to have a nice meal. All the trays and packs were perfectly labelled and the food was delivered on time as agreed. The attendees of the party came out of their way to let me know that they enjoyed the food. I will happily recommend for your event. Making an order is pretty straightforward and you can get good advice and help from the team about what to orded. They also let me know if I was ordering too much for the amount of people. Thank you so much, Brunch. You really contributed to our party to be a great success. Highly Recommended!

Great service, particularly as we were a very large party. They also catered to diners with dietary requirements—we were told they ordered Gluten Free pasta specifically. Food was tasty, staff were attentive. Particular big thanks to Camila who was always there when we needed something! Beautiful ambience and good music too :D
