Gaining its name from the siege of Colchester in 1648, this historic building has withstood its fair share of adversity. Bullet holes can still be seen in the timber frame from the fighting that occurred nearby, while the interior boasts original oak panels, fireplaces, tiles and beautiful stained-glass windows. Affordable luxury is the order of the day here – the contemporary decor lends the restaurant a sumptuous feel, and the cuisine is sophisticated yet well-priced.
Serving up brilliant dishes which successfully combine modern European and French flavours, The Old Siege House is always filled with eager diners – if you haven’t experienced it yet, now is the time. Menus change frequently depending on the fresh produce available – expect to find delicious dishes such as rack of lamb with tapenade mash, supreme of pheasant, sweet chilli fishcakes, or goat’s cheese and vegetable risotto.
The perfect venue for intimate dining or a night out in the company of friends and family, The Old Siege House also incorporates a piano bar, where the resident musician plays a selection of music to fit the mood. With such a fantastic menu and similarly alluring atmosphere, booking a private party has never sounded so tempting. The team at The Old Siege House will try to accommodate any requirements you may have, and will do their very best to make sure you enjoy your night to the full.
