Maypole Chinese Restaurant — Restaurant in Colchester

Yes the Maypole can be pricey but then so can other restaurants if you order fillet steak, scallops, lobster, Dover sole etc. There are cheaper alternatives but one thing all the food has in common is it is always excellent. The Maypole is an Al La Carte Chinese restaurant and there is a vast array of different food on the menu. For the budget conscious there are set menus or alternatively in the past we have said 'this is how much we wish to spend' a delicious meal has then been produced for the price given. I have eaten in this restaurant for 16 years and have always been given a wonderful meal. Ken the owner is very entertaining too. On Saturday night my husband and I ate Dim Sum, Dover Sole, Fillet Steak and Tiger Prawns and it was excellent. It wasn't cheap but I didn't expect it to be. You get what you pay for and the food has never to my knowledge been lacking. Sometimes we eat more basic Chinese at the Maypole depending on how the mood takes us. It is always beautifully presented and very tasty; it needn't be expensive but it does depend on what you choose- the same as any restaurant. Also don't be afraid to say if you prefer savory or a particular type of food as they are always happy to produce whatever you wish to eat and are much more accommodating than many other places I have eaten. So basically choose carefully from the extensive menu and eat with relish...

This Chinese/Malay style restaurant is handy for us as it is situated in an old pub on the Colchester bound road out of Tiptree. We've visited it about three, or four, times now and we are never disappointed with the quality of the food. It's always good to book, to guarantee a table but, having said that, we have never been there when it was full. That might be because we go quite early so the kids can get to bed at a reasonable time. The menu is quite expansive and we can always find dishes we like. Service is good (again, maybe because it's not busy?), and the food is prepared quickly and is hot. The restaurant has a nice, clean and pleasant atmosphere, if a bit dated and 'twee' with the decor falling into what one expects of a typical Chinese restaurant in the UK. But it is comfy and warm for all that. The sting in the tale comes at the end of the meal when the bill arrives. Cheap it is not! Expect to pay upwards of £110.00 for two adults and two small children. We did not have starters, but had two rounds of soft drinks and puddings. Even so, I think that is too much to pay for a 'good' Chinese meal in a restaurant. Maybe that's why we don't go very often. Recommended, but save...
