| I like it. Nicely done up inside, good food, good beers. Thumbs up! MagicKitten - 22 Jul 2008 17:43 |
| After visiting again last Saturday, I have to say that this is one of the best pubs in town - certainly on a par with the Purple Dog. Didn't eat here, but looking at the food that was being served I'd be quite happy to give it a go - especially at two meal for £7.50. Well worth a visit. Wheel154 - 27 May 2008 15:40 |
| Pub Beer Festival here at the moment on until Monday 31st March. 24 beers available at the beer festival housed in the lower part, to the rear of the pub. Good to see a large selection of dark ales available at the beer festival. A branded glass was available without the year printed on it which was good. Entertainment has been held on all the nights of the festival so far. Love_good_ale - 30 Mar 2008 02:41 |
| The postcode has been amended so the gmap is now indicating the correct road, albeit the marked location is a couple of hundred metres south of where the pub is actually positioned. trainman - 17 Mar 2008 23:29 |
| Wouldn’t ordinarily have a 5-rated pub on a crawl but you’ve gotta take account of local knowledge and LGA has it on his list, also interested to visit the scene of victorian architectural vandalism – in 1843 they knocked a hole in the 2000yr old roman wall to enable patrons to view construction of the newly arrived railway to Colchester! A central bar serves a variety of satellite rooms, nice wood floor throughout, rugby on tv in one corner, cosy reading area in another (papers available nr bar), plenty of space at bar in both upper & lower (front & rear) ‘tiers’, there is some outside decking where a patio extension jutts out over the wall & road and some nicely shabby peeling wooden garden-style tables & chairs. Wyre Piddle Piddler on the Roof, Caledonian 80, Deuchars Ipa, Theakstons Coopers Butt, Joseph Holts 1849, blackboard also listed Sweet Lips (Springhead?) but I didn’t see that on pump. Winelist carries a few btls at less than a tenner and weekday food offers include 2 meals for £7.50. How? trainman - 9 Mar 2008 17:20 |
