Reviews of Dog and Pheasant
D. I.
been here loads of times food brilliant never had an issue once recently had the new breakfasts really reasonable.
Area for the kids outside to play you can eat outside as well if you want to watch the kids .
The big plates are great meals.
I recently had the sharing platter as a starter but so much on it I was done after that cost about £7.99 job done quick drink and a platter of chicken bits, mushrooms battered garlic ones , Scampi , garlic bread etc perfect .
it's a hungry horse pub nothing special to look at really but great service fast efficient, the chef is brilliant great food no issues great Sunday roasts as well and everyday they have a special on like Steak Mondays etc.
check it out great parking outside as well .
L. D.
Sat in the garden on a sunny Saturday for breakfast and Carol looked after all 4 of us really lovely and made the experience really easy and welcoming.
The chef's Mollie and Ellie were happy to swap items on breakfast menu which was really nice and helpful to accommodate children's tastes.
Definitely will be back soon.
C. H.
We attended early on a Sunday for lunch. Mike immediately welcomed us in and let us know where we could sit. He was attentive and offered to get us our sauces (I had spotted them when walking back and was going to go back and get them). The food was served quickly. The only thing I could ask them to improve was that my baguette was rock hard at the ends and a bit stale but the filling was nice. Mike was lovely, very friendly and attentive but not overbearing in the slightest.
a. l.
Met by a lovely host and server.
Food was served with a smile and was lovely very well priced family restaurant
Thank you
m.
A very warm and welcoming hungry hoarse pub, kind and friendly staff and the food is cooked and presented nicely. A decent selection of options available. And kids area outside, which is good for family experiences. Nicely priced as well.
T. D.
Nice to see the place picking up been going there weekly for years. The last 3/4 weeks we have seen a new face there tonight we asked ask name “Stewart” asked him his position he told us team leader which is great but our group’s opinion was this lad needs manager he has the customer service the banter the skills to make this place alive friendly and welcoming. He was doing everyone else’s job with a smile the food service was backed up we noticed he took charge and this was soon resolved and running smooth before his appearance today things were chaotic and no one seemed to care. No disrespect to the person normally running the show but she is not a patch on this man customer service with a smile and customer care is what we all want this man has it all. We will return more regularly if his there more often and I’m sure others will agree. Karen is also a lovely girl
A. W.
Had a lovely meal here tonight, whilst we were waiting to pick up a friend who was visiting a relative in Colchester hospital. Staff friendly also.
There is parking and a lovely enclosed play area for children, would definitely go there again.
b. s.
The pub is enjoyable and service is usually good but the one thing that has put me off is trying to book an evening slot, the website says you can't book online please call, then generally you can't get through as it just keeps going to answerphone. Strange way to keep customers happy.
N. L.
Meal was really lovely and the service was good.
The pub could do with being decorated as the walls were looking tired, also the carpet was very tired in places. Who eva does the cleaning needs to clean the paint work and lampshades.
E. W.
Absolutely love it here! The food is always amazing and a complete bargain, the staff are always friendly and the outside area for kids is brilliant. Highly recommend!
M. V.
Good food but our dessert order was delayed by about an hour and told staff multiple times our order was incomplete yet promised "it will be put here shortly" or "I'll have a look for you" to be greeted with no response. All resolved in the end.
A. S.
Nice pub. I'm new to Colchester and glad that I found this place. The staffs were very friendly and the food is great too.
J. T.
Great good value pub and such friendly service. Family friendly and TV screens for the sports enthusiasts too.
N. L.
Food was very good, just disappointed that the second time I have been to this pub. could not have what I wanted, of which I was disappointed about.
M. C.
Lovely food at great prices. Fantastic service , staff are friendly and helpful despite being very busy and rushed off their feet.
S. P.
Good food, excellent service. Needs a bit of an update but doesn't take away what a good place to come and eat.
B. W.
Very impressed with Stuart and his team a Tesco club card voucher mix up which he resolved very professionally, me my wife and kids will be returning. Great service
C. B.
Good pub with daily meal deals. Good choice of be available, plenty of parking space. Good sized bed garden with play area for the kids
T. C.
The service by carol was brilliant very helpful.always smiling very polite and making sure everything was ok . The food was lovely and cooked to perfection thank you to the chef's Lana and Tim
T. F.
pleasant atmosphere and clean surroundings but run out of Sunday roast by early evening and then ordered veg curry and got chicken curry other than that a pleasant visit.
G. B.
Simple well priced food. We all had the mixed grills and there was no poor quality meat at all. Post lockdown signage was in place, more arrows for the way out would help reduce confusion, however staff were helpful.
I regularly attend and would return again.
D. L.
Best meal ive had in a long time, I ordered a mixed grill with my stake to be be cooked blue ! The best way to have it Obviously and for the first time in years a chef got it spot on ! Waitress we're polite and happy to help.
S. Á.
We really enjoyed our time there, and the food was excellent and obviously freshly prepared. We'll be back soon! Also, great offers for each day of the week.
C. H.
I visited recently with my wheelchair bound client for lunch and we were, even before entering the building made to feel welcome. Our server, Carol assisted in getting my client into the building and was a delight throughout. The food was great value, prepared in good time, served hot and was absolutely delicious. I would absolutely recommend this pub.
J. S.
Daisy was lovely made us feel really comfortable and welcome, great food
M. O.
Always a pleasant experience, food good and prices reasonable. Nice outdoor space too. Staff always helpful & friendly.
C. B.
no complaints here. sat straight down to our table waitress was friendly you could see they was getting busy but food came out pretty quickly, standard hungry horse fair but nothing to complain about there ... only slight gripe was dessert took about half hour and i had to grab a waiter to get it but considering how busy they was its understandable and was sorted straight away also table took a little long to clear (as we got the dessert) but again it never ruined the experience as the staff where friendly enough even under pressure 😁👍
K. B.
Food was rearly nice,staff were friendly.
S. W.
Had a wonderful meal here. Food lovely and very nice place
E. M.
We had a lovely meal on Wednesday evening. Great customer service. Service by Carol and Rihanna. Thank you
S. C.
A hungry horse pub. Beer garden was ok but food and service fair. Uncleaned tables. Food arrived cold. No cutlery or condiments.
L. P.
Lovely meals and good prices.
Didn't have to wait long for food.
A. B.
A good place to go with kids, good variety of food for them, small play area to keep them entertained, can't complain, we came away happy!
J. T.
My son and I had a meal together here. Food good. Service excellent. Drinks very reasonably priced. Altogether an enjoyable well cooked meal. Would deffo visit again.
P. L.
Good pub , good atmosphere, very good service. Would recommend..
T. C.
Food all came at different times and some of the food that came was wrong, but friendly staff and decent drink
M. A.
Nearest put to Colchester United, decent range of food and beer.
S. T.
One of the servers always gets something wrong every time we come.. whereas Carol does a very good job and she's super friendly and efficient. Our other stays here were terrible, but we didn't have Carol, so that's perhaps why.
More staff need to take a leaf out of Carol's book.. I'm not sure they know what customer service is.
j. c.
Needs a makeover
Tired and dirty carpets.
Also beer garden needs some work.
Staff and food great.
K. J.
Tremendous Quadzilla Burger! Spot on of any big taste burger lover. However, 8oz* Smothered Steak Sizzler was a complete disappointment. Should be taken off the menu really. Great presentation, but absolutely nothing to do with the steak dish. Just a tastless, stringy and chewy piece of meat... I hope it was a meat...
P. W. D.
My daughter & I had a drink and a selection of starters. Nice service, friendly team. Enjoyable pub restaurant.
L. P.
Always good here. It’s our local. Thanks to Charlotte today who was friendly and chatted to our kids. Food was good and came out fast.
E. J.
Good service. Good food. Good beer. Great company. Update 17th March 2022. Pretty much the same. A bit disappointing though that they had no draught bitter at 11:30 just after opening time. Update 4/8/22. Still good value & variety. Menu hardly changes. Disappointing number of staff on duty & unable to offer receipts because of issue with ink!
M. C.
Good food, great service, friendly staff and good prices. What's not to like!
j. d.
Food was good, staff were friendly and service was very good
J. B.
Easy parking food great staff are very helpful and nice community pub to meet the locals
M. B.
Lovely meal Lovely prices an friendly staff what more could u want
P. J.
Just been in for a meal haven’t been in a while and was surprised seems to maybe have changed owners?
* Really good food except for the Steak (Chewy) everything else was perfect
Great service from all
The team in there
Thanks
H. T.
Great service from the get go with food and drinks coming within 20 minutes of ordering. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Personally got the waffle and chicken which was delicious for such a low price.
E. O.
Good for children that can't sit down! They also have play area in the back.the Food is OK .. the salmon sizzler is the best thing on the menu. All in its a nice pub with friendly & helpful staff.
M. M.
I have been here a few times now since moving to the area 5 years ago, the food is good value for money & has been consistent across my visits. I was overcharged for food this afternoon, the lady came over to my table to inform me as I hadn't realised at the bar. Brilliant & honest service from her, 5⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thank you.
r. c.
Just finished a lovely meal cooked by lana and Kel, and served by Carol and daisy. Eat her fairly often, good value, always good food and helpful polite staff. Couldn't recommend more
E. C.
The food was very good excellent price and a good atmosphere to enjoy a family meal. Excellent service by my waitress sophie who went above and beyond to listen and talk to my daughter who is 6 and very chatty even though im sure she had other things to do. She made us feel welcome and not rushed. She explained the steps in place to keep everyone safe. Was offered the choice to dine indoors or outdoors. Food and drinks served within a good time and after we finished the meal was not made to feel rushed to leave. Very happy will be coming again.
T. G.
Great local place to eat and catch up with friends. Food is great and good value.
C. S.
The big plate breakfast was generous to say the least - a big plate full of well cooked yummyness! The chef - Ellie - delivered wonderful crispy bacon and hash browns and Bella the waitress kept the coffee flowing. I’ll be back for more!
C. L.
This place is Brill
Had a mixed grill here today
The only issue was that the sausages never taste right and are always chewy x
S. T.
Not bad food when you finally get what you ordered but got kicked out at 10pm on a Saturday night because I had kids under 18 in the restaurant area.... its not my fault I was there at 7pm and you guys too so long to come out with my right food!
C. G.
This place went seriously downhill for a while, and we stopped visiting. However, myself and my son decided to give it another go. I'm not sure what's happened, but it's vastly improved! The food was fresh, hot and tasty. Our waitress had her work cut out as she was the only one waiting on a whole restaurant, but she did amazing. Very friendly and helpful. They do some fab offers each day.....we visited on a Thursday and it was either a FREE starter or dessert with a big plate meal. Very happy with all food and drink. Will definitely be back.
S. W.
Fantastic food and a very nice pub xxxx
Y. H.
Very helpful friendly staff, food was okay.
d. k.
Came in for breakfast after dropping of mum at Oaks hospital. Lovely staff and great food.
No problem me waiting. X
C. C.
Brilliant all round food unbeatable, was in there for the last England game had a meal along with my wife everything was beautifully cooked and the staff are great apart from a refurb this is a nice pub. Keep up the hard work.
20 out of 10
F. H.
Nice pub but very short staffed as covid pinged. Waited 45 mins for dessert. Ordered drinks by app and fast and easy service. Food was very tasty and enjoyed our meal out
S. H.
Fantastic experience tonight. Turned up for a reservation and everything was ready. Very relaxed atmosphere and staff friendly and clearly happy to be working there. Food was quick and pipping hot. Absolutely fantastic especially with the easy to use ordering app. Greene king certainly bringing out the best in social distance pubs.
P. H.
Went for a meal tonight before watching the football only to find out we had a 3 minute delay from 1 t.v to the other which was very annoying I understand the situation we are in at the moment but a 3 minute delay in football is a long time I left at half time. The meal was lovely by the way
M. C.
Amazing food for a good price, really delicious. I ordered the chicken tikka masala which was quite nice. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Would definitely recommend.
j. w.
Honestly the staff need to be told they are doing a great job. Friendly bar maid, couldn't have been more helpful and the 2 for £10 deal meant a really good fish and chips for a fiver. You CANNOT beat that for value. We went to Norfolk and ate in nice places but that fish and chips really impressed. Well done Hungry Horse.
J.
Chicken was delicious as was the sticky toffee pudding just needs some tlc on the decor
j. c.
Great local pub, nice beer and friendly staff. Food is much improved and good deals available. Part of the hungry horse chain so if you've been in one you'll know what to expect.
Usual pub stuff goes on football, karaoke and darts and a pool table.
Updated for 2020 - Now with social distancing in place, staff really attentive and helpful. Real community pub
K. H.
All 3 stars are for the excellent food. Horrendous service, amateur staff who were running around like headless chickens. I ordered online at 10:50am for collection at 5pm. The food wasn't ready when I arrived. I was made to wait 2o mins. I won't be ordering for collection again!!
R. B.
Excellent service from all the staff and great food at very reasonable prices. If you like seafood then you'll love the 'Ocean's a Plenty' it's a feast Sea fair fit for a king. Very tasty. We have visited this restaurant before with 5 children, all of whom have particular likes and dislikes. But miracles do happen, they all cleaned their plates with gusto. Enough room for desert? Oh yes and loads to choose from. I highly recommend this family friendly pub. I'd choose this place over the Swan any day.
S. E.
Rating for the company 1 star, your staff are 5 star under pressure, pay them more and you might have enough to keep this place open. Total shambles I really felt the the struggling staff
L. H.
Amazing value for money and lovely lovely food. Helpful staff! Covid precautions in place!
C. P.
They were advertising for more staff and it was quite obvious they needed more...but the staff there were friendly, helpful and rushed off their feet 🙄...food was good value...Nice local pub 😁
T. W.
I took my family to The dog and Pheasant for a birthday celebration.
The atmosphere there was amazing it was warm friendly and inviting.
The evening we were there they had entertainment there was a singer I can't remember his name. He was great it was Christmas time as so was singing christmas songs. There was also karaoke which was great fun too. The food and drink was amazing value for money with the deals they have there.
The staff were friendly and helpful nothing was too much trouble. I would recommend this pub as a great place to come together with family or friends. Always a warm welcome. We will be back again soon I'm sure.
D. J.
Ordering was a bit slow as a large party before us were ordering individually and only one order point open but food was good, service excellent. A nice place to go for a last minute "been too busy to cook" dinner. Not too expensive and good traditional menu.
L. K.
Boxing day meal was superb. We had a table for 13 and the food was lovely and enjoyed by everyone. The server Ross was friendly, helpful and nothing was too much trouble (tip left behind bar, happy christmas), will definitely return.
J. H.
Staff friendly and helpful. Seats and decor in need of attention, seats in booth especially hard and leather worn out. Food brought out way too quick and clearly microwave food. Lovely climbing frame for children in big pub garden, plenty of outside seating.
S. K.
Good pub grub, dirt cheap!!
b.
Nice food with a nice atmosphere. I had a Sunday roast with the 2 for £10 and it was very nice. Staff were mostly friendly and service was great. At the back there is a play area for children which they will enjoy!
D. S.
Good grub as usual, and bit quiet so missing the atmosphere. Would like to get back to an ale choice as my camra past is gagging. Cheers
S. H.
Should be more than a 3 star. Has good beer well priced , cheap but acceptable food, great beer garden, marred by shabby decor and unbelievably slow service. Not the site management fault, they were trying hard.
Clearly yet another chain establishment run by accountants cutting corners by losing sight of service.
K. B.
Nice customer service from all workers and great value for food. Enjoyed the meal very much :)
h. b.
We came in and hadn't booked.. Lad took his time to find us a space did warn us that had. A big party coming in so had time limit but that was perfect for us and we was so thankful as a couple of our lot was getting hangry 😅... Food came out quick and still at their lovely quality.. Cheap and cheerful too just how we like it... Thanks again
J. C.
Under the circumstances, service was spot on. Food served quite quickly, plenty of it,all piping hot and fresh. Friendly helpful and great menu knowledge. An all round great experience
A. P.
It was ok you pay for what you get. Very quick service. No time between courses which I found off putting. They where clearing our starter plates away when main course where brought out. (We had pre ordered asit was Christmas menu) 5 mins even between courses would of been better
L. T.
Lovely treat, friendly staff and quick service
N. B.
Pleasant enough, very American style food, not traditional English pub grub
R. B.
Fairly standard chain pub fare, reasonably priced and with quick service. The menu seems to change every time I go but that's chains for you. In any case there's always plenty of choice even as a vegetarian. Recently done up with nice decor, much of it themed around dogs and pheasants.
s. g.
Went there for a meal on the 19th of Jan this year and honestly it was a dissapointment the place was massively under staffed, people where clearing and cleaning there own tables the toilets where a disgrace, so much so one of the people in our group left early so they could go home and use there own toilet. However the food was nice and there was one lady in particular who made it more pleasant she was working the bar waiting tables, clearing tables and doing everything in between, and even though she was massively overworked she was doing it all with a smile, she didn't have a name tag so I can only say it was a young black lady, if your reading this dog and pheasant, give that woman a payrise and a fat bonus!!
S. H.
Cheap and cheerful. Food was nice and service efficient and friendly. Loved the ultimate sharing dessert!
v. c.
Excellent breakfast for £2.99 and great friendly service. Good Covid safety measures. Will certainly come again.
S. B.
Enjoyed a drink and a dessert in the garden on a lovely sunny day! We took our dog and he lay in the shade with us. Ice cream was lovely and drinks were good too. Friendly, helpful staff and quick service for a sunny Sunday!
A. K.
Food was ok, but restaurant needs a total refurbishment inc the toilets. Would I go again probably not as i have other pubs nearer to home. If i lived across the rd i may have done.
M. L.
Urghh.
I know lots of people who love this place.
You get what you pay for but not really my cup of tea. Food 6/10.
J. P.
In short, the parking area is tiny. The furnishings are outdated, when we visited there were a lot of screaming football fans, while I was trying to enjoy my food. However, the staff were friendly and the food was nice.
L. L.
Nice atmosphere, good food
R. C.
Great meal as was the last one, couldnt have come out quicker was actually well presented too, free starter or desert on day of visit. Not that it bothered me but server asked was meal alright, its not silver service but some people find this essential so for the review, i was asked. Its good when the only problem was i was stuffed, probably didnt need the starter but was free!
Not all hungry horses have well placed tvs but this one does and was showing the snooker maybe not everyones cup of tea but was able to watch while i ate meal. They have a pool table which is free on a particular day cant remember which though, might be monday.
Does tend to attract some hobo like characters though which i suppose isnt the staffs fault but cant quite give 5 stars for that, oh and although quiet on day i came which explains speed of service when parents/kids are there it can seem like a playschool.
n. h.
We came on a bank holiday Monday, most items had run out, but they never said anything until the food had arrived, there was a handful of chips with the burger, no chocolate bits with the candy maina, we complained about each and the manager fixed the issues, they should have just been clear when we ordered. The food took almost 40 min to arrive which seeing the pub was quite was not good
D. G.
Nice friendly pub. Really good atmosphere.
L. L.
Been here a couple times .. 1st time food was cold but took that as there was a lot of us they wanted to bring food together.
2nd time had to wait a while for food when arrived was cold, hiccup on the icecream said no cream arrived with cream wouldn't change it had to repay for the child's pudding!!
Not a very clean environment tables were dirty
Food all over the floors glasses not bee collected from tables.
Over all if ur looking for somewhere cheap here's the place!!
C. h.
Great service this evening from staff from beginning to end Thank yous
B. E.
Was a great pub ,food waa great and staff were friendly
E. k.
Mine and my partners second visit to this pub to watch the football. we had a curry to eat it was lovely I was getting a bit inpatient because mine took 20 minutes and my partner's came quicker but they was busier when I ordered mine and we had 2 different curry's. But it's a friendly pub and welcomeing! Xx.
R. G.
Very clean, great service and a really nice curry
J. C.
Again another great trip to the Dog and Pheasant Colchester. The warm welcome by Olivia and Sarah as usual Made us feel welcomed. The service and the meal,. which was piping hot, was enjoyable and great value for money, hope to be there again next week, keep up the good work and many thanks..
s. k.
Since the pub has been under new management I have noticed a great improvement. The place is alot cleaner and the food is being served at a quicker rate. Very friendly and would highly recommend to family and friends
S. G.
My favorite place for breakfast. All the staff are friendly and helpful every time I visit.
E. B.
Standard chain pub. Reasonable selection, reasonable prices. Nice coffee. Good service, staff helpful. Outside play area for kids in garden. Easy access. Convenient parking etc.
R. B.
A 'Get what you pay for' Hungry Horse, which is fair enough but this one has been decidedly sticky and understaffed with used dishes left on the tables each time I've visited for a beer. It's a shame, could be a good pub catering for families.
J. B.
Great breakfast with santa
Santa was friendly, kind and engaged well with the kids whilst practising social distancing
Food was served prompt and hot
The lady dressed as an elf serving us was lovely
B. T.
Really friendly staff and good food at cheap prices.
L.
Service was quick, staff were polite, my son had the steak which was cooked to his liking, atmosphere was nice it was fairly quiet considering it was dinner time, overall nice quiet dinner time meal and enjoyed by all three of us.
M. D. J.
Good prices, staff friendly. 3 star as they need clean up a bit better, we have bits of food etc all over the floor under our table.
C. P.
Lovely place to have a few drinks with friends .. bar staff really friendly especially Dale 😊
M. C.
Great well supported local. Food is of large portion good quality and cheap in price. With family in the area I've known this place over 30 yrs . A safe family friendly environment.
J. H.
Good service and decent food.
s. c.
Lovely food and staff
H. C.
Always friendly staff, definitely needs a refurbish! I know it is a family pub but wish parents would stop their sprogs running around getting in people’s way. It’s a pub, not a playground. Cheap and cheerful.
J. R.
Fantastic afternoon out with the family. Lots of food choices to please all ages. Reasonably priced too. Lots of room outside for children to play. Can't wait till next time.
M. C.
Good food, huge portions! General cleanliness of the place leads a lot to be desired but it's cheap and cheerful. Does what it says on the tin!
D. J.
Waitress Carol was excellent, we will go again
K. H.
Food was hot and fresh, waiting staff greet and service was flawless. Fabulous service.
D. C.
I wasn't expecting much being a Hungry horse chain pub though the food was really good. I had the cod which was fresh and flakey with bubbly batter when to be honest at that price point I was expecting some pre frozen offering. Would come back.
A. R.
My scampi and 🍟 was nice. Had choclate fudge brownie for pudding. It was try and not very nice. Would not recomed it. Place could do with a clean as not very clean. X
N. C.
A good meal and drinks with friendly and attentive staff, especially Susie. I'll be back for sure.
B. W.
Better than first experience. Food was hot and the restaurant was cool temp. Looking forward to next meal
T. L.
Excellent service, great food, value for money,throughly enjoyable.
L. T.
Good food as always
A. H.
Decent pub with your typical hungry horse menu choices. Often pop in for lunch and a drink before a Colchester home game and the service is always good and it has decent parking facilities and large beer garden.
R. P.
Very good staff and nice fresh hot food...
B. H.
The food is fine, prices are low, the atmosphere is fine and the staff are nice. The night we visited however one patron was excessively drunk and disruptive and, let's just say, a few others made me feel a little uncomfortable. Not the proprietor's fault but it could be the proprietor's problem.
j. u. c. s.
Great food and great drinks tonight company was the best
M. P.
Good value for money
J. p.
Lovely family run pub with a well looked after garden for adults to relax of comfortable seating and play equipment for the children. Staff were very welcoming, friendly and polite.
T. m.
The place was great.. the band playing (The Curves) where absolutely brilliant.. very entertaining and played brilliant music. The only downfall was the idiots who where a pain in the Ar#e that where drunk.
R. S.
GK pub that sells macro beers and not a lot else. Food is ok. Convenient and has lots of parking with good outside play area for kids.
P. B.
Food is great, it's just that that the whole place needs a overhaul!! We go there every year for the family birthday meals, I'm dropping a star due to the place needs a overhaul.👍🏻
C. N.
Absolutely brilliant experience, very helpful staff and the food was excellent and value for money, will definitely be coming back
A. s.

I found the dog and pheasant restaurant to be a somewhat mediocre experience, while the food was average I will say the price is extraordinarily low, however I will say this; the place is very loud a lot of the time and while I understand there is not much the restaurant can do about that it is very off putting
A. S.
Always get a good meal and good service when i have been
