Insane food always! What a way to finish off a meal with an ice cream sandwich that changes daily. Service at the bar is always top notched. From daily specials to an ever changing beer list . Who wouldn't want to make this a weekly stop. Parking is great .
First time here and had a fantastic time ! VERY impressed by the friendly service ! Salads were so fresh and filling . The owner came over and chatted with us and made us feel at home -Thank you !
The food, service and beverage choices here are always excellent. It’s a great atmosphere even for the non drinker.
This is widely regarded as one of the best restaurants in the area. I’m from Colchester and had heard from multiple friends and acquaintances about Celtic Cavern.

Their cocktail list is always very creative, and their seasonal menus always include delicious special dishes. Their staff is always friendly, checking on you and …
Enjoyed a nice lunch and drinks last weekend. Beer selection was impressive & the food was excellent- my macaroni and cheese was absolutely decadent!

This place was packed on a Tuesday night when we were there for dinner. There was a 15-20 mins wait but we were able to find seats at the bar. Service was quick there.
