I have taking my three children to Grumpys for over 10 years now , never had bad service, the food is always so nice. Clean, friendly, affordable. I never write reviews but feel you all need to know what you are missing out on if you haven't eaten there, We love it and drive from South Woodham Ferrers !

I enjoyed lunch on 23rd September, my birthday. We were able to order childs' portions so we had room to choose The Barn's excellent desserts. The staff were welcoming and at the end of the meal Iwas presented with a slice of chocolate cake with a small candle which I was able to have boxed to take home. An memorable experience.

Positives: Lovely atmosphere, nice to have outside seating alternative, food excellent. Negatives: prices a bit high in places and whilst waiting for freshly prepared food totally acceptable, time taken to deliver beverages could be much improved upon.

Brilliant service, Brilliant food affordable price

Lovely as usual. Prices seem to be creating up however.

Delicious food! Great service - we’ll be back, thank you!

Hi we had a very pleasant waitress. The problem unfortunately was the menu. It seems very limited and even the special weren't an improvement. Often come for brunch which is lovely but unless you add more like jacket potatoes,various sandwiches,... I cant see a return visit which is a shame.

10/10 food was great and the staff were lovely

Sadly we didn't have the best experience today as 1 of our food orders were incorrect and some of our orders had food items missing ..we were however given some money off which we were grateful for.

Great food and service. Atmosphere lovely. Fantastic cakes and ice cream.

Lovely breakfast and even though busy received attentive service.

Lovely lovely food! The Buddha bowl is fab! However we were never shown or given the specials menu so missed out on this!

Fabulous morning catch up with a friend. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Food is excellent. We had breakfast. Poached eggs with avocado and I went off menu slightly with scrambled eggs, smoked salmon and swapped the bread for tomato and mushroom which they happily accommodated. My requested seating area was met too. Definitely recommend ❤️

Always enjoy a coffee date and cake here or lunch. It’s fantastic they now have a childrens menu too!

Always enjoy coming for lunch, but it is pricey. I was disappointed that they no longer serve sandwiches with a side of crisps with the salad garnish. This felt like penny pinching on their behalf. Staff is always lovely and friendly.

Excellent lunch, as always. Reliable good freshly cooked food served by friendly competent staff. One of the best places to eat in Colchester. Long may they thrive.

Had a lovely lunch from the specials menu which I love because it changes frequently. Very friendly staff and excellent food.
