The Odd One Out, Colchester

Been once before the football. But it does stand in the mind due to its excellence.

Good points:
Drink is top notch, and I mean TOP NOTCH. You won't get a better pint anywhere on earth. It was so good I expected a priest to be pooring it and mumbling about Jesus.
It has no mobiles to be spoken into and no swearing.
The beer garden is very nice, and if you want to you can get away with quietly swearing down your mobile.

Bad point:
It's dingy.

Overall, if you are in Colchester and you miss this you are the biggest idiot the world has ever seen. Ever. I cannot recommend a pub more than this one. I just can't.

Depends what you are after this one.

Ale and cider is a none starter. Cocktails and Vodka it is pretty spot on.

Word of advice, if you are going buy a Rev Card it saves you a fortune.

Gets very busy late on though.

The Cumberland Arms, Ouseburn

Oh my golly gosh! What a pub. What a selection. Six ciders, ten ales - all off the wall ones. This pub is amazing.

Absolute top marks.

The question remains - how the hell am I going to get from the Durham countryside to Byker every other week?

Get a taxi, walk it, go on the bus - I'll just get out to this pub, it's awesome.

Not seen one in the North East better than this.
