Quick info
About Knight Pavilion Restaurant
Knight Pavilion Restaurant is a Chinese restaurant on Haven Road in Colchester, set on the River Colne. The menu moves from starter platters of ribs and seaweed through salt and pepper squid and beef with black bean, and on to regional plates such as twice-cooked pork and mapo tofu. The dining room runs karaoke nights, adding a second use to the space beyond the main menu. Service operates on a walk-in basis, and the river-side setting frames the room for evening meals.

“Honestly one of the best Chineses that I have had! Combined with the authentic atmosphere and decoration, the food is exceptional and fresh, and the service matches! I'm a good 50 min drive away and we are already planning our next visit - hopefully including the karaoke next time!”
