The Albert - Colchester

This spot is good for planned and spontaneous outing. The staff were friendly, the food was absolutely amazing no complaints whatsoever..”hats off to the chef”… The atmosphere is relaxed.. First here and definitely coming back.. Joe and Harley was our waiter and he was friendly and helpful..

Booked a table for 2 to celebrate my birthday, turned up on time and had to wait for 12 mins for someone to seat us. Having been given the menus and drinks order taken it was ages before the drinks arrived and the server went to take our order. The first 2 things we chose were not available!!! Why didn't they tell us this when handing us the menus. I said forget it and walked out. We found a nice pub up the road and had a lovely meal. Easy choice next time.

We had a lovely 3 course dinner menu at lunchtime) for my wife's birthday. Joe our server) looked after us from start to finish. He was very attentive, and service was at the right pace. The food was excellent and Joe made sure we had everything we needed, including some wet wipes for our chocolate sundaes! We had a 25% off voucher, and I was very impressed with the final bill. It was quite quiet in the restaurant, which was surprising considering the quality and price of food.

We can’t fault the Beefeater for good value and tasty food we have been here quite a few times and they have never failed us, The chicken and rib combo was delicious as was the Sirloin Steak. Our server, Sarah, was polite and courteous throughout our visit and was attentive but not obtrusive. There were only a few tables occupied when we visited when we have been here before it has been very busy but with only a couple of people serving which has meant the service has been slower and detrimental to the overall Beefeater experience if only they employed enough staff at busy times I am sure the reviews would be better!

The service at this restaurant was fantastic today. The staff were very welcoming and friendly, and the food was cooked perfectly. Our steak was prepared exactly as we requested, and everything was spot on. The tables were clean, our food arrived relatively quickly and was served hot. We left feeling really satisfied and thankful. Thank you.
