Quick info
About Timbers
Timbers is a British restaurant on Trinity Street in Colchester that runs through the day, serving breakfast and lunch from a menu that leans towards comfort-led British cooking. The kitchen plates stew and dumplings alongside a chorizo hash, with lemonade available behind the counter and gluten free options covered for diners who need them. Dogs are welcome inside, and the room runs with music playing throughout service. The setting suits a casual drop-in for an early meal or a midday break in the town centre.

“One of the best restaurants I have been in for many years. I am nominating it for the Colchester Golden Oyster Awards coming soon. The stew and dumplings were historic! Haven’t had dumplings for years and they were excellent. Well done to the marvellous chef not only a great cook but a wonderful waitress.”
