Cas­tle Estate Plan­ning is an expe­ri­enced fam­i­ly run busi­ness ded­i­cat­ed to help­ing fam­i­lies pro­tect their assets and ensure a secure finan­cial future for the ones they love. We place our cus­tomers at the heart of every­thing we do, pro­vid­ing com­pre­hen­sive Estate Plan­ning Ser­vices includ­ing Wills, Last­ing Pow­ers of Attor­ney and Trusts. 

As mem­bers of The Soci­ety of Will Writ­ers, you can rest assured that you’re in knowl­edge­able hands. Our mis­sion is to pro­vide com­pas­sion­ate sup­port with clear guid­ance so fam­i­lies can make informed deci­sions about secur­ing their estates now and in the future. Our vision is that even­tu­al­ly every­one will have peace of mind know­ing their loved ones are tak­en care of when unex­pect­ed life events occur.

MOTO’s Piz­za din­ing expe­ri­ence is built on qual­i­ty pro­duce and reduc­ing waste. Menus lead to exces­sive choic­es, and ulti­mate­ly food that becomes fit only for the bin. By remov­ing a menu, we elim­i­nate food waste and con­tin­u­ous­ly sur­prise din­ers, giv­ing you an oppor­tu­ni­ty to indulge in a one of a kind shared din­ing experience. 

We offer the clas­sics along­side unique flavour com­bi­na­tions. You will dis­cov­er the ingre­di­ents you love but nev­er con­sid­ered as a piz­za top­ping. Our dough is made in house with over 48 hours fer­men­ta­tion to get it to that per­fect slice! 

Wine on tap guar­an­tees a bet­ter qual­i­ty glass of wine with every pour. Wine in kegs stays fresh­er with no oxi­da­tion or cork­age. It also means zero wastage and a 96% reduc­tion in car­bon foot­print com­pared to wine poured from bottles.

For all you cof­fee afi­ciona­dos, our cof­fee is sup­plied by local roast­ers, Mac and Me. We also use their cof­fee to make a mean espres­so martini. 

It should be com­pul­so­ry to share food when din­ing out any­way. How can you real­ly say you’ve expe­ri­enced a restau­rant if you’ve only sam­pled one meal?

In 2016 we start­ed off on our ​“Great Jour­ney” with our now clas­sic core beer: Great Jour­ney Begins. This was our Pale Ale and it was received very well local­ly. It has remained one of our most steady and reg­u­lar­ly pro­duced beers. It’s an easy drinker and a great ses­sion Pale Ale.

From the con­fi­dence we gained devel­op­ing our first beer we start­ed to exper­i­ment with new styles, vari­eties and tech­niques and before we knew it we had a nice selec­tion to offer our patrons. 

This is when we realised we need­ed a lit­tle bit more space to spread out and con­tin­ue to grow our pas­sion for great tast­ing beer.

We were luck­i­ly able to set up shop in the old Jacks hard­ware store in the heart of Colch­ester city and now we’re flying.
