Little gem which is well known to locals for being a place to be able to source all sorts of food related items which you can't find in regular supermarkets or food shops. Lovely cheeses, jams, fresh produce, freshly ground coffee - the list goes on. Sadly not open for as many days or hours as befor
Can't thank Chris and the team enough! We wanted to have a "Cheese" wedding cake and they couldn't do enough for us. Went above and beyond to make sure we had the dream cake we wanted, from how it would look to tasters and all the advice we needed. The cheese itself tasted amazing and at the weddi
I love this shop, it's been going for years. I love the different coffee that they have.
EXCELLENT
Just one of those precious, special places where you can spend hours looking and buying. Great shop, fantastic stuff, and a place you wouldn't want to miss even if it was just during your daily walk. Nice coffee and sandwiches.
Only just found this amazing shop existed recently when looking for speciality teas online. Go to Colchester for big shops quite often but tend to stick to main town centre. Made special trip here on Saturday and was glad I did! Went in for the special teas and came out with cheese, pies and other b
Grocery shop as grocers once were, but nowadays are a rarity to find. Stocks an amazing range of products in quite a small space, many of the brands I've not seen elsewhere. H. Gunton has been on-site in Crouch Street for the best part of a century, serving some seriously tasty fare. Passing by on t
Amazing quality and service. I have visited and shopped at Gunton for many years. We got married last week and Gunton supplied the three tiers of cheese with a cheddar in a red waxed heart and a large pork pie and chicken pie. Chris spent time helping us choose the right cheeses and sizes. Excellent
A piece of Colchester history that should never be allowed to disappear. Many a wonderful visit. Good for cheese lovers, coffee lovers, foodies in general and great for dietary requirements also, i.e. vegan choices. Also a café upstairs for part of the day. Friendly staff.
Wonderful old style shop with lots of quality products, great selection of cheese,whole bean coffee and loose-leaf tea not seen elsewhere, customer service is always great. Will be back!
I've been shopping at Guntons for many years (at least 9 or 10?), once a week or fortnight, but never left a review, I'm sorry! After Brexit, Guntons is now my 'window' to Europe, just a few minutes away from my home. They have a great selection of French/Swiss/Italian/Spanish (and English!) cheeses
Really great service ordering from H. Gunton's online shop. We ordered at the weekend and our order was delivered Tuesday morning. They have a great selection of Tiptree products available to buy online which aren't available at the big supermarkets.
Traditional family deli which is a Colchester institution. As it is an old building the aisles are narrow so it can feel crowded at times. You can find most things there, from chutneys and honey to all sorts of dried lentils and beans plus many types of flour and grains. The cheese counter is excell
Fine delicatessen selling many things. Lots of jams, cheeses, cold meats, bread, pastry things, all sorts of fine snacks etc. Superb range of coffee beans. Considering the excellent quality of everything in there and that it's a fantastic independent shop selling fancier things, i think much of it i
Gunton’s service ha always been to the highest standard. We always buy our coffee from here. They were even kind enough to send us a replacement batch of coffee when Royal Mail lost our order.
Cannot recommend them highly enough.
Chris.
Shelves piled high with treats, heaven where ever you look, very reasonably priced item, most polite staff ever and a very short wait to get in. I could not believe it especially as it was only a few days to Christmas. I will definitely be going back for a longer shop real soon. I loved it😍
Found the website via Google when searching for Wicklein Lebkuchen (if you know, you know) which has been all but impossible to find at anything other than extortionate prices since brexit. Ordered two packs at a wonderfully reasonable price, (postage was more than fair also) and two days later they
