Colson's is the definition of luxury! Every dish we ordered was faultless - fresh, tasty and flavourful - the food was stunning. The fillet steak was genuine melt in your mouth perfection - juicy and tender as ever and the fiery peppercorn sauce added an extra little kick to take it to the next level. I also loved the scotch egg! First time trying venison so wasn't sure what to expect but it was so flavoursome and well balanced. Cheesecake is always the go-to dessert for me but surprisingly the salted caramel tart took the top spot of the night. Sweet, creamy and light - an absolute dream if you're into salted caramel! More than just top quality food though, Colson's provide an all-round amazing customer service experience. From start to finish, the whole team were incredible - so attentive, warm and welcoming but special shout out to our waiter Calan who was an absolute angel and looked after us the whole night. So knowledgable and passionate about the wines and foods we were tasting, he truly made the experience a memorable one! An absolute 10/10 knockout night xx
