The Mistley Thorn

Join us for breakfast, lunch and dinner 7 days a week. We have daily specials and a set price lunch menu.

The Mistley Thorn menu changes throughout the year, using the best local and seasonal ingredients wherever possible. We strive for a balance in offering high quality coastal cooking, excellent wine at reasonable prices and friendly service in a relaxed, fun and inviting atmosphere.

Seafood is a speciality, with Mersea oysters available year-round and Colchester natives when in season. Fresh as in with a glint still in its eye seafood, is locally landed or sourced from local suppliers. All day Sunday Lunch features fantastic roast Suffolk beef and other offerings such as Suffolk chicken, seafood and interesting vegetarian and vegan offerings.

Most of our dishes are either gluten free or can be adapted. We also have some delicious home made gluten fee bread available. Please mention to your server on the day and they will be more than happy to talk you through the menu.
