Company Shed

129 Coast Road, West Mersea, Colchester, CO5 8PA

So you fancy a touch of authenticity? It doesn't come much more authentic than The Company Shed, particularly on a chilly day in winter, with the tides running fast and the wind in the landlocked rigging. Having established that the weatherworn edifice before you is your destination, clutch your bottles, cans and French rolls - well I did warn you - and enter into the world of really fresh seafood, evidence of which in various forms is all around you. So also is Heather Haward who, with her husband Richard runs this wonderful place. Richard farms the oysters and looks after other vital supply lines. Service is very much DIY in keeping with the ambience and philosophy of the place. The seafood is simple and just undeniably wonderful, with the crabs well at the top of the list.

Forget about the fripperies, no puddings, bring a flask of coffee if you must and salads are not welcome.

Oh, and on your way out bag some of the clams to take home at a mere £1 a pound.

Surely this has to be seafood heaven?

REVIEWS OF Company Shed

Alan (28 September 2010)

We spent a lovely few hours savouring the delights on offer at the venue. The seafood platter at £10.50 was exceptional value for money and the portions of everything were generous. The seared scallops were absolutely stunning as were the jellied eels which I finished off with! We washed our meals down with some fine champagne - alcohol free! This was the first time my wife and I had visited the venue but definitely not the last. Our friends who had been before also had an enjoyable meal. Very popular venue, exceptional service and extremely good value for money! Definitely worth a visit for a splendid day out!

Annabelle (21 August 2010)

Having not had seafood before, this was my first experience of lobster, oysters and crab. I must say that like all other reviews I can imagine that any other seafood restaurant I may dine in future will not compare with The Shed. I definitely recommend it for the overall experience as well as quality of food.
