| I recently visited The Castle and found it to be an exceptionally well run establishment. The landord and landlady were friendly and inviting and struck up conversation with patrons, The barstaff were really quick on service and full of friendly banter. Food is generous in portions and very good in quality and presentation, It is traditional 'pub food' and Sunday roast fare rather then the 'up market gastro pub food'. There was an excellent selection of drinks and I settled on one of the real ales they offer, which couldn't be falted. Toliets were clean, soap dispensers full and plenty of toilet roll. There was a seperate function room of a very good standard thou this wasnt in use at the time I visited. Plenty of comfortable seating inside and out, Sofas as well as the more typical wooden chairs. There was a TV showing sports channels but at a volume where it didnt disturb people not wanting to watch this, A couple of fruit machines. Smoking area/outdoor patio with ample seating. No doorstaff, but when a few young lads did start a bit of bother in the beer garden towards closing time, the landlord and landlady were straight on it, taking drinks away from those that were beginning to kick off and escorting them from the premises, It was clear that whilst friendly banter and lively revellers are welcome, that any nonsense or agressive is swiftly dealt with. Will definately go back and encourage others to visit. mindsf99 - 9 Jan 2010 23:00 |
| Enjoyed this pub alot ,Real beers well kept.Although quite a large pub it seems very warm and cosy ,maybe the big settees help. The food is the best part ,its English pub food at its very best. Beer garden also very good. Worth a visit jun10r - 9 Feb 2009 21:30 |
| Lovely pub especially in summer, devoid of all the usual town snobbiness on a Friday/Saturday evening, very nice change, food in daytime is lovely especially the baguettes, all reasonably priced and cooked well, drink prices are reasonable, lots of students though which is sadly unavoidable in these style pubs nowadays, no main complaint on students as such other than most of them talk SO loudly! Oh and just remembered that the mirror on the way into the ladies toilets is like the ones from the fairgrounds, makes you look a very weird shape! jojo85 - 4 Feb 2009 09:23 |
| Well worth a visit if you're on Colchester high street. The two real ales on offer are always well kept. The food is of reasonable qulaity and not too expensive. The outside beer garden is very popular in summer, in fact on a warm day there are usually moer people sat outsdie then in the pub. yorkie1 - 21 Jan 2009 08:40 |
| Pretty good little pub, fairly good atmosphere, great beer garden that opens onto the street. Has a new bar in a continental sytle greenhouse-type-thing, which is nice in the summer. Drinks are average price and selection is okay. Food is pretty honest. Staff are quite nice (and they even put a cloverleaf in your Guinness!) slew - 31 May 2006 19:09 |
