Forum, The

The Forum in Colchester Park is an airy and spacious restaurant that serves a wide range of British classics with a continental twist. Its décor, which reflects Mediterranean influences, the relaxed ambience and ample free parking space make it a soothing destination, encouraging customers to sit back and explore the newly designed menu. Dining with the elements becomes possible with the newly introduced al fresco seating and whether it's a hearty breakfast or a light lunch, the friendly staff serve it with a smile.

Lunchtime favourites would be the sandwiches and baguettes served with crisps, but for more substantial meals, opt for the rib eye steak with mushrooms and tomato or the beef lasagne with salad and garlic bread. There's also chicken curry with rice and Greek kebabs with haloumi salad and fresh yoghurt if you're looking for something different. Save room for their delicious homemade cakes and the wine list with its globetrotting selection, stylishly laid out, offers something for every pocket.
