So, I go abroad for a few years and come back and the good intent is no more..... what happened to the bar where they used to clear the blood from the floor every night and where they had to employ at least 7 bouncers and everyone was off their face on E's....

thank god those days have gone, I enjoyed a lovely meal and the people were friendly, it is good to be back in horndean after so long and actually have a nice pub to go to!!

This place seems to be getting better and better! We havent been in for a couple of months as I have been working abroad but were amazed at even more changes the new owners have made over the last couple of months!
It seems that the team at the Colonial Bar have gone in to overdrive...their 2 meals for £10 seems to really be taking off. They seem to have creacked it with quality traditional grub and amazing value.
Christmas seems to be packed full of events, Christmas menus, Christmas Eve party, New Years eve, all their ususal entertainment and even a Childrens Christmas party on the 23rd! We have snapped up 6 tickets for our 2 and 4 of their friend, great value.
The place is looking even better, (it was good before tho!). They have added some new softer furniture, built a stage and added some pretty nifty lighting. Added to that they seem to have loads more entertainment booked for 2008 and some pretty big names too. If you havent already been down, you dont know what you are missing...you wont be dissappointed!

My Wife and I now visit the Colonial Bar on a regular basis (2-3 timess a week). The Colonial is definately the best pub for some distance. Their food is fantastic value with the 2 main meals for £10 offer and their "all drinks @ £2" deal makes for a very cheap night out.
The live entertainment every weekend is better than any of the other local venues and the atmosphere is friendly and inviting and never any trouble (unlike all the other pubs in the area).
We really cant find fault anywhere with the Colonial Bar and would defnately recommend a visit. We are so impressed with what they do that we have booked in for Christmas dinner already and hired a balcony for a big family party.

This is my uncles bar! It's so nice I think in the evening to have a meal cooked by Fyne the chef, whos food is spectacular and original.

They have some good bands playing too. It took them longer than expected but it was worth it. Everytime i'm down in Portsmouth I always go there with my mum. Love it!
