Visited last night for a meal with my son, daughter and son in law. Lovely pub with really relaxed atmosphere. Staff were very friendly and welcoming. My daughter and I had the lamb shank which was delicious. We all enjoyed our meals, starters and mains . My son particularly liked the bubble and squeak with Fish and son in law the Sea Bass. We have been here before and will certainly be coming back.

Lunch - big, tasty burgers (we ordered a beef rump burger and crispy buttermilkChicken burger). Welcoming, friendly staff too. Perfect lunch spot a few minutes drive from centre of Colchester so great option with a change of view from centre of town with a county pub feel.

Haven't eaten here yet, but the beer and company are top-notch. Stop here ever now and then after walking the dog and always end up chatting to a friendly local. Proper country pub.
