EAP Prop­er­ty Ser­vices Group have been estab­lished for over 30 years. We have estab­lished our­selves as a lead­ing con­sul­tan­cy of Struc­tur­al and Civ­il Engi­neers, Archi­tec­tur­al Design­ers, Sur­vey­ors and Geot­ech­ni­cal Engineers.

We have offices in both Cam­bridge and Colch­ester and we are made up of a ded­i­cat­ed team of peo­ple who have years of expe­ri­ence in the prop­er­ty sector.

Spe­cial­is­ing in good sec­ond-hand and rare lit­er­a­ture, art, his­to­ry, phi­los­o­phy, sci­ence and local inter­est titles, the Colch­ester Book­shop occu­pies three floors of one of the town cen­tre’s most recog­nis­able build­ings: the arch­way lead­ing to Tymperleys.

Drop in for a browse, be amazed by our quirky rooms and stair­cas­es, and won­der at the sur­viv­ing medieval hall roof of the Colch­ester home of William Gilberd (1544−1603), physi­cian to Eliz­a­beth I and one of the world’s great­est ear­ly scientists.

Enjoy a Pan-Pacif­ic inspired menu in the heart of Colch­ester town cen­tre. Designed around the geo­graph­ic and culi­nary fusions of the west­ern shores of North and South Amer­i­ca, the Poly­ne­sian islands and the shared kin­ship with east­ern Asia and Aus­tralia. The result is a mêlée of fresh, colour­ful and com­plex dish­es ide­al for small plate shar­ing or sim­ply to devour alone, for the ulti­mate vibrant din­ing experience.

Pavil­ion is locat­ed at the bot­tom of North Hill in Colch­ester. Please call Pavil­ion for book­ing or for more information.

INVIC­TUS– Latin, mas­cu­line adjec­tive, mean­ing UNCON­QUERED, UNSUB­DUED, INVIN­CI­BLE.

That describes the Man who takes any chal­lenge, the Man who doesn’t back down, the fam­i­ly Man, the Father, the son, the grand­fa­ther, the uncle, the broth­er.

Colch­ester, being a Roman town, noth­ing could have matched bet­ter than a Latin name for the shop. The loca­tion is in the heart of the town, on the pop­u­lar Sir Isaac’s walk. Its lay­out is unique, keep­ing the vin­tage touch, mix­ing warm colours to make you feel wel­come, giv­ing you that nice, relax­ing, week­end feel­ing, no mat­ter what day or time you decide to pop in.

Our pro­fes­sion­al staff takes any chal­lenge in the terms of men’s bar­ber­ing offer­ing pre­mi­um ser­vices for fair prices.

We’ve always been pas­sion­ate about serv­ing the very best, spe­cial­i­ty cof­fee since day one. It’s how so many of us start our day, so we want every­one to have the best kick-start to their morn­ing. Great cof­fee nat­u­ral­ly demands great food, ours is hand­made in our own kitchen, daily.

With more than 15,000 stores world­wide, Star­bucks is the lead­ing retail­er, roast­er and brand of spe­cial­i­ty cof­fee in the world. Our cus­tomers can look for­ward to the finest taste expe­ri­ence, in a cosy and inti­mate envi­ron­ment. Those look­ing for peace and qui­et away from home or the office can relax and linger in an arm­chair and escape into a book, whilst those look­ing for an inti­mate place to meet friends can hud­dle on a sofa and chat over a mug of cof­fee. Soft light­ing and back­ground music make the expe­ri­ence complete.

We have packed sea­son­al pro­grammes offer­ing gen­uine choice. From clas­sic and mod­ern dra­ma to musi­cal the­atre, stand-up com­e­dy nights to school hires, clas­si­cal music to magi­cians — we do our best to make the expe­ri­ence of all of our hir­ers and patrons enjoy­able. We also host a youth dra­ma skills group who per­form twice a year in the the­atre, and an over 55’s group, Act V.
