The Blue Boar, Colchester

Tried this on the opening day. The Broadside was acceptable, but too cold, but apparently the chiller has been addressed. It was tidy - seems some of the original Blue Boar locals are coming back quickly though. Good luck to the new landlord - let's hope the pub doesn't turn back in to 'Fight Club'.

The Hospital Arms, Colchester

The pub has one of the best selections of Ale's in Colchester, BUT a majority are Adnams and I couldn't find a dark or mild.

The staff were friendly, it was quite busy, but lacked a little character.

The Odd One Out, Colchester

This is a VERY traditional pub. Walking through the door is like stepping back in time 30 years.

Nice to see a pub where it's harder to find lager than it is to find ale.

National award winning cider pub, for those who like apples. You wouldn't take the wife there, but you'd certainly have a good pint.
