Had couple of pints in there before going to Thai restaurant over road - friendly staff and locals, made us welcome. Two ales on the go (both GK I think) and another house ale which I think is also brewed by GK - had the latter and (as advised by gentleman at the bar) the beer was very good condition.

I've been using the G and B for a while now. The staff are welcoming and the beer well looked after. I don't understand the bit about people feeling threatened. The customers are amixed bunch, comprising of ex Foresters customers and locals who have drank there for years. All in all, a good town pub. The only downside is that they are a bit more pricy than some.

I have just read the comment that was posted on december 15th 2009 and i am absolutly shocked about the allagations made. I have been going into the goat and boot for the past year now and i can say that i have not once felt threatened or nervous. The customers are all very friendly and the bar staff are exceptionally polite. I have never suspected anybody of taking any illegal substances on the premisis. The goat and boot is a happy welcoming family pub that has changed dramatically in the last year. I would recommend that you go and have a drink there and see for yourself. HAPPY NEW YEAR =)

Always enjoyed stopping of here for a couple or three on the way home from town. But I now hear that the current landlord's throwing the towel in - anyone know when?

A good pub, good football coverage, darts, pool etc. A bit dark and smokey, but what else would you expect I guess
|
Unless you've recently remortaged your house, you couldn't afford to drink there. Stopped using it for that reason and I now walk all the way up Brook Street in the cold and rain to drink elsewhere.

A fair pub with really friendly staff, perhaps a tad too expensive (3 quid for a pint of the black). Not a great selection of ales, bitters or lagers, but primarily an atmosphere pub rather than a drinker's pub. Good, fairly inexpensive food in the day. Gets rather busier at around 9 or 10 on a friday, but the crowd is generally good and there's never any trouble. Has pool table, darts, big TV, a beer garden (of sorts) and a parrot.

Nice pub with a good friendly atmosphere as soon as you walk in you feel comfortable.

Becoming a little bit pricey, but a good enough range of beers, with nice staff and atmosphere, and a jukebox which has every song ever. Good basic food. Nice crowd, provided it's not about 10 on a Friday night, when you start to get a bit of run-off from further up the hill. My personal favourite pub in Colchester.

Stopped of here for lunch a couple of months ago when visiting a friend. Friendly staff and good basic inexpensive food. A bit out of the town centre so fairly quiet. Will definitely go there again next time I'm in town
