The Castle Inn

Stopped here after visiting the castle, it was Sunday and me and my girlfriend were fancying a Sunday Roast! So we entered this pub that is just by the entrance of the castle park, I think recently refurbished, nice outside area, nice decor inside too, really minimal though but with some nice finiture. (only 2 bad things I can say, it was a bit too cold in there and place looked a bit too empty, in terms of furniture or shelves or painting around, but not a big deal) Anyway waiting staff was great had that attention towards the customer that rarely you find in a pub. We felt very looked after! The Sunday road was superb! My girlfriend had the beef one and me the chicken. Huge portion! My girlfriend left nearly half of it. But the quality was very good! Finally a chef that seasons all the bits properly. Also the gravy was nice and smooth! Delicious! Lots of places serves the Sunday roast very quick, here it took a little longer, around 15/20 mins, but I told my girlfriend, this is a good sign, it means that chef is dedicated in preparing it nicely rather that just throwing it in a plate, and I wasn't disappointed! In fact I wanted to let chef know of my appreciation and I tipped him. Definitely recommended, and if I will ever visit Colchester again I will go straight there. Thank you to all the staff.
