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.

So welcoming and attentive. Nice dog friendly pub with a warm and position atmosphere. Couldn't ask for anything more.
Drinks were reasonably priced and food was of a good standard with generous portion sizes.
Highly recommend if ever in the area.

It was lovely to sit outside on our first night in the town after moving to Colchester. We had a lovely time. Thank you!

Always a decent place to stop for one or two when your on route. Drinks are a little pricey compared to some places. They are adhering to government guidelines very strictly and even the outside table was sanitised before we were seated. This was reassuring.

Very nice smart pub, modern decor. Bit disappointing the diet coke I had on second visit didn't taste right and was flat. Well organised for covid secure. Pleasant staff. My female companion advised it needs sanitary bin in ladies toilets.
