Quite possibly the best pub in colchester. Is old school, with no mobiles or swearing.
Beer garden is small and quite possibly the wrong description for the outdoor seating. It is like sitting in someones backgarden, if the backgarden was used as a storage room for kegs and the owner had a penchant for collecting unmatched furniture. Nice, but you will spend a lot of time worrying that you are about to break a chair when you sit on it, or a table when you put your pint down.
Has scampi fries, bacon fries and the cheese ones too. Looked to have some rolls, probably of the cheese and ham variety. Possibly crisps, but why buy them when scampi fries are there? Oh, also had pork scratchings, but I can't remember what type.
Sells paracetamol at the bar.
