BANK HOLIDAY ALERT 🚨

We are going all out this weekend and have devised a more full evening menu. With the addition of our very popular seafood plates which includes a newer larger sharing version.

All of our delicious Colchester Beers and our wines of the moment and Prosecco will be available too.

We’re open Friday all the way until 9pm so stop in for a sunny, chilled evening with good food and delicious drinks.

We should mention we’re open all weekend including bank holiday Monday as usual.

See you soon. Team River Colne Food ❤️

Easter Weekend Alert 🚨 🐣

As the long weekend is fast approaching we thought we should make sure you’re all aware of our holiday opening times. Nothing much is changing we are open all weekend as normal across both sites. A reminder of those times are in the post above.

BUT, to celebrate the start of the long weekend we are doing a deal for our Friday evening nibbles night. Every large grazing plate comes with a free glass of wine or prosecco. So why not kick off the Easter holidays with some delicious deli cheeses and meats and you can have a glass of wine or bubbly on us?! It’s a no brainer ✨✨✨🫶

✨EXCITING NEWS✨

You may have noticed our beloved deli is currently closed and being refurbished!

The official grand reopening will be Saturday 28th March at 9am! 🎉🎉🎉

The whole shop has been redesigned to hopefully allow us to make more and sell more.

I know people are missing their cheese, olives, scotch eggs, sausage rolls and more but just a couple more weeks and we’ll be back better than ever.

Please come down and check out our grand reopening on 28th March there may even be some free goodie giveaways. 🍪🍪🍪

In the meantime, we are doing our best to keep the cafe stocked with as many of the deli favourites as we can. loaves are still available from the cafe on Saturdays too. 🥖

See you all at the deli soon. And hopefully even sooner at the cafe.

Thanks to everyone for patience and support.

David and the RCFC team!
