We had a christmas dinner for 20+ retired diners, which can prove challenging when we cannot remember our pre-orders. Luckily our organiser listed our choices on ouf name card - a usefuk tip there. Service was polite and there was not too much delay getting that many plates out. My missing Yorkshire pudding was quickly remedied. The food was plentiful and nice if unremarkable. My prawn cocktail, turkey and christmas pudding were all enjoyed. There was some congusion when only 1 christmas pud arrived rather than the 11 we had requested, but again quickly resolved. Good Xmas lunch fare for all. There was some confusion when trying to pay individually which should have been smoother as it was fixed price for either 2 or 3 courses and only 2 supplements and drinks purchased seperately. I would happily return to eat here again.

Trio of lies.Service was a little slow despite restaurant being half empty. It looked like they were under staffed.Unfortunately i didnt get the servers name but she was wonderful, helpful and did it with a smile.Some of the food however was terrible, anything that had been fried like the fish and scampi looked ok and what you would expect from that level of restaurant.The lasagne was near on slop and the trio of pies with creamy mash was so poor, 3 dry lumps of mash and limp pies. Not even the gravy was warm i can only guess the microwave power had been accidently turned to low.I actually felt embarrassed for the chef.(i have added a photo)This used to always be half decent go to for a quick and easy meal now i wouldnt advise it.

Be arrived about 1:30 Saturday afternoon. Ordered coffee. Then we ordered some drinks and then we ordered food. Coffee came out then we ordered drinks. The food came out and she was so busy. She'd forgot drinks but she soon sorted them out for us ,not a problem. Food was good. I had chicken and bacon with BBQ sauce with chips. My partner had pi, mashed potato, peas. We asked for chips instead of mashed potato and they changed it straight away. Very good service. Food was lovely. The waitress looked after us really well. We were there till 4:00. It was a good afternoon. If your ever on your way to Colchester and you want to quit bite to eat, popping to see the staff,x

One of the worst Tabletable experiences my partner and I have had! Inexperienced staff and poor customer service. Long wait for food so don't go there if you are hungry and oh yeah, you need to order your desserts an hr in advance if I were you, as we waited for over 30mins to get our dinner plates removed so that we could order a dessert, so in the end we had to ask for our bill on the way out! Food portions for the price here are very small as well and none of the staff asked if our meals were OK, which is very unprofessional!!!

Used 50% off voucher for 7 people. Food good and staff helpful and friendly. Resolved an issue quickly when food sent back. Only problem was the front toilets out of order and the men's cubicle in the restaurant out of order as well.

First walk in beer glasess on the table outside from the night before! Breakfast is great value for money. Need to have more staff. Not massively full but was advised hot food would be 30-45 mins wait due to 3 large tables being filled. Resturant not even half full. Continental breakfast area, not being kept filled or tidy. Not the fault of the staff they were running around. Seems needs more hands on deck. Over all a bit under average. Hopefully if we return these issues will be addressed. I hope managers read these reviews act as you will lose the good staff you have!!

Servicing the Premier Inn it is adjacent to, the Balkerne is a busy pub with lots of workers using the place. The menu reflects the changing times for example you now have to pay 49p for a naan bread where it used to be included in the meal. The menu and beer/lager options are all decent and the staff are really excellent.
