A Snake in the Grass publication
Welcome<br />
The <strong>Colchester</strong> Good <strong>Food</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Drink</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> 2008-2009 is an<br />
independent publication that<br />
throws the spotlight on the<br />
best places to eat, drink <strong>and</strong><br />
buy good food in <strong>Colchester</strong> -<br />
Britain’s oldest recorded town.<br />
<strong>Colchester</strong> is vibrant, lively <strong>and</strong><br />
attractive, both steeped in history<br />
<strong>and</strong> enlivened by a cosmopolitan<br />
ambience. It has appealing shops,<br />
popular museums, great theatres,<br />
beautifully maintained gardens, a<br />
fabulous zoo <strong>and</strong> a castle with the<br />
world’s largest surviving Norman<br />
keep - so there’s always something<br />
to see <strong>and</strong> do in between meals!<br />
Our area has a food <strong>and</strong> drink<br />
scene that’s renowned for its<br />
eclectic variety of cuisines, which<br />
draw influence from all four<br />
corners of the globe. Our culinary<br />
cosmopolitanism began early,<br />
though - the Romans not only<br />
brought their own style of cooking<br />
when they turned <strong>Colchester</strong> into a<br />
major settlement from 43AD, but<br />
they wasted no time in shipping<br />
our oysters all the way back to<br />
Rome.<br />
<strong>Colchester</strong> Good <strong>Food</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Drink</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> 08 | 09<br />
You will always find somewhere in<br />
the <strong>Colchester</strong> area to suit your<br />
taste, budget <strong>and</strong> sense of<br />
occasion. So, whether you’re<br />
looking to have a pre-theatre meal,<br />
celebrate an anniversary or<br />
birthday, organise a banquet or<br />
simply grab something tasty to eat<br />
whilst out shopping, you won’t be<br />
disappointed.<br />
It’s also the reason that you will<br />
find the <strong>Colchester</strong> Good <strong>Food</strong> <strong>and</strong><br />
<strong>Drink</strong> <strong>Guide</strong> invaluable - whether<br />
you live in the area, or are visiting<br />
from elsewhere in the UK or<br />
abroad. There are dozens of hidden<br />
gems contained in these pages -<br />
from tucked-away family eateries to<br />
exquisitely authentic kebab shops.<br />
We hope you enjoy exploring<br />
the <strong>Colchester</strong> area’s culinary<br />
l<strong>and</strong>scape. And remember -<br />
when you find the perfect<br />
traditional breakfast, the lunch<br />
that lifts your mood, or the snug<br />
bistro with fabulous service, we<br />
want to hear about it. That way<br />
we can pack even more zest into<br />
next year’s guide.<br />

21<br />
YEARS<br />
OF FINE DINING<br />
1986-2007<br />
Located in the charming market town of<br />
Coggeshall, Baumanns Brasserie regularly<br />
attracts plaudits from its clientele <strong>and</strong> food<br />
critics alike.<br />
The inspiration behind the brasserie is<br />
proprietor <strong>and</strong> award-winning chef, Mark<br />
Baumann. He has created a perfect<br />
informal environment in which to meet<br />
with friends or clients <strong>and</strong> experience<br />
Baumanns Brasserie, 4-6 Stoneham Street, Coggeshall, Essex CO6 1TT<br />
tel: 01376 561453 email: food@baumannsbrasserie.co.uk<br />
www. baumannsbrasserie.co.uk<br />
Baumanns Brasserie in<br />
Coggeshall is brilliant, judging<br />
by the amazing meal Jean (my<br />
wife) <strong>and</strong> I had the other night.<br />
Others have said it, but we had to<br />
try it to make sure.<br />
Mark Baumann <strong>and</strong> his chef created<br />
a number of faultless <strong>and</strong> truly<br />
exciting dishes. Ever had flying fish<br />
caviar? I have, as the first taste bud<br />
tickler, served on a tiny cornet filled<br />
with a salmon mousse <strong>and</strong> topped<br />
with the caviar. Really good.<br />
But what about python popcorn?<br />
Incredibly savoury, but perfectly<br />
fried python in batter? I enjoyed it<br />
enormously.<br />
I told my friend, John Warwick,<br />
about this delicacy the next day<br />
cooking of a very high st<strong>and</strong>ard, always<br />
with top-quality locally sourced<br />
ingredients.<br />
Like the food, the emphasis in the décor<br />
is on enjoyment <strong>and</strong> just the right amount<br />
of originality. The restaurant brings a<br />
touch of the metropolitan to the heart of<br />
Essex, but without the high prices <strong>and</strong> any<br />
hint of pretension.<br />
<strong>and</strong> he told me about his pet<br />
python!<br />
Amongst the beautifully executed<br />
dishes that we both enjoyed,<br />
including superb juicy liver<br />
presented with some of the best<br />
vegetable dishes I have ever eaten,<br />
came a surprise. The waiter<br />
presented us with an egg box, an<br />
ordinary egg box. Inside were two<br />
boiled eggs with their tops off<br />
ready for the pieces of toast to be<br />
dipped into the sunshine yellow of<br />
the yolk. We plunged in. It was<br />
actually white chocolate fondant<br />
<strong>and</strong> the yolk was mango purée.<br />
The ‘toast’ was macaroon. Wow!<br />
That’s why people beat a path to<br />
Mark’s door in Coggeshall.<br />

Your Local Butcher...<br />
Use him or lose him!<br />
An old adage is ‘use it or lose<br />
it’, <strong>and</strong> that’s very much the<br />
case with our last remaining<br />
local independent butchers.<br />
Bluntly, if you care about what<br />
you eat <strong>and</strong> where it comes<br />
from, go to a local butcher <strong>and</strong><br />
forget the supermarket.<br />
<strong>Colchester</strong> still has<br />
some excellent<br />
butchers, <strong>and</strong><br />
with your help<br />
they will thrive<br />
<strong>and</strong> continue<br />
to serve us.<br />
The town would<br />
be much poorer<br />
without characters<br />
like Charlie Martin of<br />
Martin’s Butchers in Canterbury<br />
Road. Charlie always has a smile<br />
<strong>and</strong> a straw hat at a jaunty angle.<br />
He has a terrific range of superb<br />
fresh meat <strong>and</strong> plenty of good<br />
advice to go with it. Also great ham<br />
<strong>and</strong> bacon <strong>and</strong> an array of<br />
sausages, he is a real old fashioned<br />
butcher who cares about what he<br />
sells <strong>and</strong> the people he sells it to.<br />
Allen’s Butchers on St Botolphs St<br />
wins the prize for my own personal<br />
favourite sausage, the ‘Directors’.<br />
Also they sell some of the best<br />
boiled ham in the region. Allen’s is<br />
a Q butcher which means they<br />
have achieved a very high degree<br />
of skill quality. You get a jolly<br />
welcome here <strong>and</strong> occasional<br />
singing from the staff.<br />
Frank Wright on Crouch Street has<br />
a very impressive range of game<br />
birds <strong>and</strong> rabbits, hare, venison etc.<br />
The shop is a <strong>Colchester</strong> institution<br />
<strong>and</strong> has a richly deserved excellent<br />
reputation. Game is coming back as<br />
people are finding how tasty <strong>and</strong><br />
healthy is. Rabbit in particular is<br />
greatly underrated; Frank Wright’s<br />
is the place to go for game.<br />
Neville Hughes on Old<br />
Heath Road is a good<br />
all round butcher<br />
who will cut your<br />
order to your<br />
needs. Neville is<br />
in my view the<br />
best ‘hog roast’<br />
man about, <strong>and</strong> I<br />
have tried a few!<br />
Geller’s on St. John’s<br />
Street prides itself on<br />
fresh locally produced meat. It is a<br />
truly good all round butcher.<br />
Geller’s pies are truly an institution<br />
in the town. On many occasions I<br />
have thoroughly enjoyed their<br />
mouthwatering steak & kidney<br />
pies, the little ones, still fresh <strong>and</strong><br />
hot from the shop, <strong>and</strong> the big ones<br />
at home.<br />
Our wonderful Alan Pallett who has<br />
worked <strong>and</strong> slaved over the<br />
<strong>Colchester</strong> <strong>Food</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Drink</strong> <strong>Guide</strong><br />
swears by Evans of Dedham. As<br />
Alan has impeccable taste in all<br />
things he must be right. If you are<br />
around Dedham pop into Evans <strong>and</strong><br />
support another fine butcher. One<br />
day I will get out there <strong>and</strong> I am<br />
sure I won’t be disappointed.<br />

Eating out guide<br />
For most of us, going out to eat<br />
in a restaurant is still<br />
something of a treat. We ought<br />
to be able to expect really good<br />
service <strong>and</strong> excellent food<br />
wherever we go, especially if<br />
the bill is high.<br />
Sadly this is not always the case<br />
<strong>and</strong> we can feel angry <strong>and</strong> upset if<br />
an evening or lunchtime is ruined.<br />
Part of the frustration is not<br />
knowing how to complain or indeed<br />
who to complain to.<br />
It is a good idea to make your<br />
feelings known firmly, but without<br />
getting angry (I don’t always take<br />
my own advice as my daughters<br />
would tell you!).<br />
You know the point when the<br />
waiter or waitress asks that famous<br />
question ‘Is everything alright for<br />
you?’ Tell ’em if you aren’t happy.<br />
But if you if prefer to we can now<br />
offer you an opportunity to vent<br />
some of your feelings on<br />
www.colchesterfood<strong>and</strong>drinkfestival<br />
.co.uk (Reviews <strong>and</strong> Prizes). Let us<br />
know if you have had bad food or<br />
service <strong>and</strong> we will look into it <strong>and</strong><br />
publish the result.<br />
Of course we also want to know<br />
about the good news <strong>and</strong> there is<br />
surprisingly lots of it. Our Golden,<br />
Silver <strong>and</strong> Ivory Oyster Awards are<br />
evidence of growing st<strong>and</strong>ards. We<br />
are now looking for nominations for<br />
the 2009 awards.<br />

<strong>Colchester</strong> Golden Oyster Awards<br />
Every year at the <strong>Colchester</strong><br />

English classics.<br />

<strong>Colchester</strong> Golden Oyster Awards<br />
Pub of the Year<br />
The Anchor at Nayl<strong>and</strong> (Gold)<br />
Spectacular surroundings, a terrific<br />
menu of local produce (often only<br />
from a few yards away). Daniel <strong>and</strong><br />
Hector are totally passionate about<br />
their produce <strong>and</strong> the way it is<br />
cooked. Even the bar snacks are<br />
fantastic – home produced beef<br />
jerky, smoked almonds <strong>and</strong> some<br />
serious pickled eggs.<br />
Producers of the Year<br />
Layer Marney Lamb (Silver)<br />
James Coe works hard to both<br />
produce <strong>and</strong> sell his lamb. It is a<br />
very superior meat <strong>and</strong> we wish<br />
him well with his new farm shop<br />
venture.<br />
Richard Haward (Gold)<br />
Richard is known all over the world<br />
<strong>and</strong> has made <strong>Colchester</strong> famous<br />
with his excellent oysters wherever<br />
he goes. A real Mersea character<br />
<strong>and</strong> much appreciated by all.<br />
Wilkin & Sons (Gold)<br />
Most of our awards are for<br />
the very small producer but<br />
Wilkin & Sons absolutely shines out<br />
as a wonderful local product. From<br />
their amazing range of strawberry<br />
jams to the rich dark Tawney<br />
Marmalade they are winners.<br />
Caprilatte (Silver)<br />
Producers of the very best goat’s<br />
milk ice cream from their own goats.<br />
Goff <strong>and</strong> Ellie Warren, a terrific<br />
couple, created this splendid ice<br />
cream on Mersea Road in Abberton<br />
at Monach Farm. Stop there, buy<br />
stamps (it’s a post office as well.<br />
Also great cheese <strong>and</strong> goat meat.<br />
They are a real community asset.<br />
Best food promoter of<br />
the Year<br />
River Nene<br />
For promoting good organic<br />
vegetables <strong>and</strong> creating recipes for<br />
each one they deliver. Nene Valley<br />
deliver organic vegetable boxes to<br />
your door. Their produce is always<br />
fresh <strong>and</strong> varied.<br />
Best international cuisine<br />
restaurants of the Year<br />
Qube (Gold)<br />
Simply stunning! It says it all really.<br />
The Qube Bar <strong>and</strong> Grill offer a fusion<br />
of French <strong>and</strong> Far Eastern delights<br />
creatively prepared using produce<br />
local to <strong>Colchester</strong>. The Thai style<br />
beef carpaccio followed by grilled<br />
king prawn skewers would be a hard<br />
combination to beat in any culinary<br />
competition.<br />
Chrystal (Silver)<br />
On the outside the restaurant<br />
which is in St Botolphs looks like an<br />
ordinary kebab shop. The food<br />
served at the tables however is<br />
authentic, very good <strong>and</strong> cheap.<br />
There are kebabs <strong>and</strong> good ones<br />
but also a number of excellent<br />
Middle Eastern hot dishes. Good<br />
fresh starters always appear as<br />
st<strong>and</strong>ard <strong>and</strong> part of the price of<br />
your main dish.<br />

Roman dining at The Lemon Tree<br />
The Lemon Tree’s innovative<br />
<strong>and</strong> creative themed evenings<br />
have proved to be fashionable<br />
<strong>and</strong> popular occasions.<br />
Coupled with sumptuous dining,<br />
themes in the past have included<br />
regular jazz <strong>and</strong> cocktail nights, live<br />
piano performances, Halloween<br />
wine tasting events, opportunities<br />
to sample curries from around the<br />
world <strong>and</strong> close-up magic. All<br />
themed evenings are accompanied<br />
by fittingly bespoke menus, all<br />
thoughtfully created to each<br />
particular event.<br />
In the run up to <strong>Colchester</strong>’s 2008<br />
<strong>Food</strong> <strong>and</strong> <strong>Drink</strong> Festival, The<br />
Lemon Tree team staged an exotic<br />
‘Roman Themed’ evening. Staff<br />
dressed as Roman characters <strong>and</strong><br />
served authentic menus containing<br />
exciting sauces, herbs <strong>and</strong> spices<br />
<strong>and</strong> based purely on traditional<br />
Roman delicacies. Many customers<br />
donned their best togas for the<br />
event <strong>and</strong> a memorable evening<br />
was had by all! The only thing<br />
missing was old Roman favourites<br />
such as dormouse, ostrich <strong>and</strong><br />
peacock <strong>and</strong> this was owing to The<br />
Lemon Tree’s Mission of sourcing<br />
local seasonal produce <strong>and</strong> ethically<br />
reared meats, fish <strong>and</strong> poultry.<br />
Donning a full Julius Caesar outfit,<br />
award winning chef <strong>and</strong> proprietor,<br />
Patrik Minder enthused “the<br />
ancient Romans enjoyed good food<br />
<strong>and</strong> wine <strong>and</strong> obviously favoured<br />
the wares of <strong>Colchester</strong> when they<br />
settled here after their invasion in<br />
AD43. Lavish banquets were<br />

The Best of <strong>Colchester</strong> Managing<br />
