We provide quality ales, great home cooked food and a relaxed environment where you can wind down from your busy day.

At the live we have all sorts of entertainment such as the good old football , a pool table, free darts, and a great jukebox with music from the old to the new.

Mark Watson Says:

‘It’s a good old-fashioned pub – not tarted up, gastro-ized or anything like that. It’s got two large rooms , the traditional bar and lounge, with wooden floors, and is clearly dog and family-friendly.’

This pub is tucked down a little lane, which to be honest unless you know it is there you probably wouldn't notice. Have popped in a couple of times a few years back, but not recently. Had noticed that they have a garden so decided to go again and sit outside. Whilst there we then decided to get some food. Food was well priced and good size, and tasted good too. They also have kids meals, but these were £5 which isn't quite as well priced as the adult meals...! They also have plenty of drinks choices, the wife particularly liked the gins. A few craft type beers and proper cider also available. The garden has some beach hut style areas to sit but also picnic benches. Fair bit of space outside. Staff were friendly and were able to recommend drinks which is always nice when your not sure...!

Fantastic compared to my last visit a fair few years back. All refurbished and a nice friendly atmosphere. Great beer garden too. The only reason I haven't given 5 stars is because there was only one person on the bar during a busy period, so it was very slow getting served. Highly recommend overall though!

Best roasts in Colchester, and a wide variety of ales, always changing. Really nice garden and very welcoming. They always have something on, be it a steak night, or a gift bag you can purchase for father's Day. Kept many of us going during lockdown with many different delivery and collection offerings.

Wasn't expecting much but I was really surprised. Had a couple of beers and a burger. The food was great, better than most pub food. I would visit more often if I lived anywhere near Colchester.

Friendly pub with a good selection of beers. Decent no thrills home made pub food at good prices. Annual beer festivals are worth a visit and the occasional live music nights too. It has a large beer garden with multiple colourful beach huts
