This restaurant in a historic 15th century building, is worth a visit. We went on a Sunday and had the roast. This is one of the best Sunday roasts I've had in the UK. I had the white bait starter and stuffed pork belly as a main. Both were superb and the portions are generous. Worth a visit.
First time visiting and wasn't disappointed. Big group of 14 people for a family birthday was well looked after by the friendly head of house and her team.
No incorrect or missing orders.
Steak's were all cooked too perfection.
Service overall was excellent.
Was seated on a big table next to an open fire which was lovely. Will definitely return.
Lovely place, excellent service and food
Was well worth 100 mile round trip.
Great service from friendly staff.
Good food. Good atmosphere
This is a go to for us, usually for special occasions, and the staff are welcoming, they go above and beyond, you have the history of the building which is great, and the lounge area is comfortable too if you’re not eating, as well as some outside space.
This place is absolutely great! Lovely staff, beautiful old building inside and outside and the food is amazing! The lamb shank was to die for, as was the chocolate and Guinness cake with chocolate custard! Huge portions, decent prices and a big car park at the back. Will definitely be coming back here!
Food was definitely better than expected.
Fantastic beautiful restaurant with such a history. So beautiful inside with the gorgeous beams and service was excellent and the Lamb Shank we had was cooked to perfection. I will definitely go there again. I thoroughly recommend it as I think the best in Colchester
Amazing food & service at the Siege House Colchester we ste there on Saturday, party of 4. Scallops were cooked perfectly followed by succulent pigs cheeks. The desserts didn't disappoint a great way to finish. Service was great without being overbearing we all enjoyed our evening thankyou.
Firstly the venue is lovely and so we're the staff, cheerful friendly but profesional. The blot on our visit was the starter..chicken wings. They were very nice, but served on a ridiculously small plate. You couldn't use a knife or fork as it was too small, and picking them up your hands got in such a mess it was on everything..no finger bowl, no napkin apart from the beautiful white linen ones!!!!. Never again would I choose those when i'm dressed for dining out, and neither should anyone else. All other food was great....sorry but without our own wet wipes we couldn't have carried on eating and drinking.
Thank you, from the bottom of my heart. You gave my partner a beautiful birthday meal. And the extra touch of translating a birthday message was outstanding 🥹
To the beautiful (French?) Lady with the beautiful manner. You'll always be remembered with great fondness your table side manner should be taught to everything you really made this evening extra special for her
Thank you all for a stunning pub, incredible food and even better table side service ❤️
Great afternoon tea with a large selection of sandwiches, scones, and cakes. The food was so copious that we had no chance of eating it all. They were well-prepared and provided boxes for us to take the leftovers home.
The location is very historic with Tudor beams, although take care is you're tall!
We have been to a number of afternoon teas locally and this is highly recommended.
Biggest Sunday lunch I ever had cooked to perfection.(roast beef).
Next time I will skip starters and make room for dessert, can't fault anything good friendly service.

This place is full of character a 17th century half timbered french style building proudly displaying the original musket shots from the era. But more importantly the food doesn’t let the surroundings down. Offering European food with a modern English twist.
Pan Fried Scallops with Pea Purée and Black Pudding Bon Bons.
.A generous portion of scallops cooked to perfection sweet and tasty, but I have to say the idea of the black pudding bon bons was genius little balls of rich flavours balanced the pea purée and scallops beautifully.
Pan Fried Sea Trout Fillet, Curried Mussel Velouté with New Potatoes and Samphire.
Great looking fish, trout was full of smooth flavour and the curried mussels were awesome the sauce was to die for and with the sharp salty taste of the samphire was a great match.
Apple and Cinnamon Crumble Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream.
What can I say does what it says on the tin, loved the crispy pastry shell and the crumble was sweet and well, crumbly, to be honest and this is my fault I was expecting it to be warm like a crumble rather than cold, but it is a crumble tart so i guess a tart is cold. But a great way to end the meal.

Well that and the cracking espresso martini that replaced your standard filter coffee.

Whilst the food was great I have to also comment on the excellent staff for making us feel so welcome in the current times, it’s hard to be a great host with so many rules but they pulled it off brilliantly. We will certainly be back.
We had a big ask of this restaurant, we had a cancellation at another venue and The Siege House accommodated us which was amazing as we was a table of 15(+2Babies) we all had a wonderful meal and great service. The Sunday roast meals can not be beaten. I would recommend you give this place a try, great food, great service, and all in a building of such history. Thanks
A beautiful meal that tasted fresh and inviting, served by staff that where attentive and friendly. Would throughly recommend a visit especially during August because of the "Eat Out to Help Out" when it is outstanding value.
Absolutely delicious, nice cocktails very nice to relax for an evening. Thanks to all the staff there .
Afternoon Tea was absolutely delicious. Outstanding quality food and service. Amazing old building and highly recommended.
